Q. Why are you selling this for so much more than your standard Burning Shadows Gyarados?
A. This card was extremely difficult for me to obtain. It comes from a Team Up Checklane Blister that was sold exclusively at Target stores in the United States. As a Gyarados collector, I specifically needed this Cosmos Holo variant for my PSA collection, so I imported dozens of these blisters from multiple US sellers. Unfortunately, the packaging design places a plastic coin directly against the card, which frequently causes indentations. Out of all the copies I purchased, nearly every card had coin damage — only one was free from this issue. Because of this packaging flaw, very few examples achieve PSA 9 or PSA 10 grades, which explains the premium compared to the standard Burning Shadows Gyarados.

Q. Can I have more photos?
A. Sure — just send me a message. Occasionally a bit of lint or dust may appear in photos. If you'd like me to double-check or verify anything, I'm happy to do so.

Q. Why are you selling?
A. I'm selling approximately 95% of my personal collection. My wife has stopped working to look after our son, so I want to improve our financial position. I'm not a business — just a collector downsizing after around 10 years of collecting.

Q. Can you make the shipping cheaper?
A. I usually offer free shipping for buyers in the UK. International orders are typically handled through eBa's Global Shipping Programme. Unfortunately I can't control what eBay charges, and I can't change any import duties or tariffs.

Q. Are the cards authentic?
A. Yes. All cards are authentic. Many of the cards I sell are professionally graded by companies such as PSA. I've been collecting for around 10 years and only deal in genuine items.

Q. Will the card I receive be the exact one shown in the photos?
A. Yes, you will receive the exact card shown in the listing photos.


INTERNATIONAL (NOT UK) BUYERS

Q. Can you amend the shipping costs?
A. No. I use eBay's Global Shipping Programme (GSP). International shipping is handled directly by eBay and they set the shipping rates. The shipping payment goes to eBay, not to me, and I cannot see or change the amount charged.

Q. Can you combine shipping?
A. Yes, however, the only way I can do this is to combine the items that you'd like into a single listing. So if you'd like to purchase multiple items, please let me know before you purchase them.

Q. Will I have to pay customs or import duties, and can you change the declared value?
A. If your country charges customs duties or import taxes, you will be responsible for paying them. I cannot change or alter the declared value on the package. Whether you pay these charges through eBay or directly to your country's customs authority depends on the destination country. If you are unsure, please check with eBay or your local customs office before purchasing.
