So true! I always thought about doing something similar as a side hustle. Most people I know are hoarders; just accumulating stuff to maybe use “in the future” or “one day”.
For over three decades, these cards sat at the absolute bottom of the market with almost nobody paying attention to them. Just last year, even cards like the Ivy Pikachu Ken Sugimori error could still be picked up on eBay for under $20. These weren’t “discovered” yesterday — they were simply ignored for 30 years while the hobby focused on easier-to-grade cards and modern PSA 10 chases.
The reality is that many early CoroCoro promos and glossy promos are the earliest Pokémon promos ever released and some of the most condition-scarce cards in the hobby. High grades barely exist because these cards were printed cheaply, handled heavily, and almost never survived in clean condition. That condition scarcity is one of the main reasons they stayed overlooked for so long. What people are calling “overhype” today looks more like the market finally correcting three decades of neglect and recognizing the historical significance and true scarcity of these cards.
