What an epic night. I’m truly grateful for the Pokémon community, Ken Goldin, and my team for making last night a historic moment for the hobby. To address concerns regarding the ownership history of the card, now for the facts: I had originally offered to sell up to 51% of the Illustrator on Liquid Marketplace but ultimately only 5.4% of the card was sold for about $270k in the Summer of 2022 to fractional owners associated with LM. In May 2024, I bought the card back for the same price it was sold for per the terms of LM and made funds available for users to withdraw. I was told that those funds were available to be withdrawn for approximately a year after being deposited in LM users’ accounts, and many of the fractional owners did indeed withdraw those funds during that time. For reasons outside of my control, the LM site then went offline. When I learned users could no longer withdraw their funds on LM’s site, I personally paid to get the site back up. Users are now able to withdraw their funds (and they have been) at https://t.co/GEt58lCVwO. They were also notified via e-mail Congrats to the buyer for an iconic purchase the entire world will remember. Although bittersweet, I was proud to be a steward of the greatest collectible in the world for the last 5 years May the next Pokémon journey be as delightful as the last…
