The EXACT card I was referencing in the
@dutchee space yesterday.
$125.
Dug up an old photo from the day I pulled one out of the attic many years ago.
Flashbulb memory: I remember after my father purchased this card for me, the store got robbed 🤦♂️ and while the thieves were running out of the shop dropping cards everywhere... I was just standing in the middle of the chaos smiling at my new best friend 😂
Yes, THICK STAMP is a thing 🤭
And its on the new ALL TIME HIGH pull from The Alley.
This nostalgia BOMB is debatably the MOST iconic card that exists in the hobby:
1999 #4 Charizard HOLO R/(Thick Stamp (Beckett 8.5)
The juice:
- 1999 Base Set - the original English Pokémon TCG set.
- 1st Edition - from the earliest release of the original set.
- Shadowless - all English 1st Edition Base Set cards use the early shadowless card design.
- Thick Stamp - a specific variation of the 1st Edition stamp.
- BGS is generally more granular and demanding in how it evaluates and reports card condition, particularly because it scores centering, corners, edges, and surface separately.
Congrats to TheCardWall member that hauled this one in.
