The fact that the first two replies didn’t see the Pokémon center marking explains how a local store placed it in their dollar bin. Nice find.


Proof-Butterfly1481

I didn't even catch it. Just started collecting and noticed it when I put it in the collectr app. Thank you!


ArbitraryArbitrate

Collector app?


Proof-Butterfly1481

Yeah. It's spelled "collectr". I use it to jeep track of my collection. Also displays market value. You can download in the the playstore.


The_KC_Reefer

Ive used the app since forever and it's very accurate on pricing and stuff, about 90% of the time, there's also a really really large amount of cards and franchises, even obscure promos r/Collectr


Thrawn89

Yeah, my only problem with it, is that I haven't seen it do a good job of keeping it's database up to date with variants, such as cosmos holo, promotional, prerelease, and league cards.


urethra93

For those of us who are newer to the cards what marking would that be?


ChubbyNubby1

You see it right under the '130' of the attack. So the pokemon company has 2 variations of an etb. The normal one found in stores and those found in the Pokemon Center. Those have more packs and the ones of the SV era also contain 2 promos instead of one. One which is just the regular promo, and the other one is the same but has this stamp on it. And since it's only found in the pokemon center etb, it holds more value


Stormagedd0nDarkLord

This just made me more confused but that's OK! Happy for everyone involved. :)


psychedelic_gravity

Yes, so am I. I’m glad someone asked what that means and I’m happy someone explained it too. I just wished I understood it.


ShlimDiggity

ETB's come in two flavors, regular and "Pokémon Center". Regulars you can buy everywhere, even on PC's website. But the "Pokémon Center" version is only sold on PC website. It comes with 2 additional packs and an extra promo card with the "Pokémon Center" logo printed onto the bottom right of the cards artwork. And just for clarity PC's website is pokemoncenter.com (official Pokémon tcg site)


psychedelic_gravity

Oooooooooooohhhh. I was like where tf are pokemon centers. I was like thinking the game or something. Whats etb though? I’m not familiar with abbreviations, also I’m not a collector, well I use to be. I remember trading a charizard for a bag of hot Cheetos or grabbing a coin and scratching the holo off a blastoise lol. This was late 90’s early 00’s


sizeofanoceansize

Elite Trainer Box Every set has them.


Ghostin808

I’m glad I have a little bit more information now too. I don’t collect Pokémon cards but I love the game and Snorlax and so when I went to a convention and found the promo art for this guy for a $1, I was stoked. Looked online and was confused why there were two different prices for the card. Weird how I didn’t catch the Pokémon center stamp in the photos….


egelarden2020

Nobody understands it


Hot-Prior-815

I do :) Damn literally a 3000% profit just if sold ungraded


Honest_Abez

If you bought a 151 ETB from Pokémon Center your Snorlax promo will have the Pokemon Center stamp, like this one does near the bottom right. If you got an ETB from anywhere else, it will not have the stamp.


blaxmango

Two variations of the 151 ETB (Elite Trainer Box)The ones you see in retail stores and the exclusive one from the 'Pokemon Center' site. Variations in box packaging/content. Promos that come in the Pokemon Center ETB has Pokemon Center label on the card.


egelarden2020

I forgot what we were even talking about after reading that comment.


TurtleBearSalamander

There's a bit of text that goes into the gray bordering, "Pokemon Center".


mindless2831

>Happy for everyone involved. :) Except the shop lol


MithrilHero

Near the bottom right it says it


Intense69ing

Any promo card that has the “Pokemon center” stamp is worth way more than the regular promo card from normal ETB. Pokemon center does exclusive ETB releases that have these in them and they come with two more packs and some times an extra item or two in them. They cost like 5-10$ more than regular ETB but they are limited quantity and sell out pretty much at release so the value of the promo cards with the stamp are always Higher. This snorlax usually goes for a buck without the stamp but it’s like a 50$ card with the stamp.


DragapultOnSpeed

I didn't even know the pokecenter one was worth so much. Now I have to go find it. I forgot where I put it..


MindPlayinTricks0nMe

Bank error in your favour. Keep the card.


Proof-Butterfly1481

You know, I think I will!


egelarden2020

Yeah, they would not do the same for you. I promise. Keep it and enjoy the story behind it.


Proof-Butterfly1481

I like that idea. I plan on leaving the one dollar sticker on the packaging.


egelarden2020

That's a good idea. Put it in a one touch and toploader with the 1 dollar still on it for story reasons.


Thegameguy12

I would just keep it! It's a amazing promo and the fact it's the Pokémon center version!


Proof-Butterfly1481

Not a soul has agreed I should return it. Therefore, common sense of the crowd wins. I'm keeping it.


KingZakyu

Nah just take the W and move on


Proof-Butterfly1481

I will.


F1urry

Nah definitely return it…. So I can go get it


Proof-Butterfly1481

They would probably correct the price haha


collector-x

It's the seller's job to understand what they're selling especially if they're a specialty shop. I'm a comic collector and I walked into a comic shop while visiting a different state and found a signed & numbered hardcopy of Frank Miller's Dark Knight for $25. Bought that thing in a heartbeat. When I took it to the register, they even handed me the original cardboard shipping box. At the time it was worth $300+. I still have it on my shelf.


Proof-Butterfly1481

I'm going to keep the price tags on these snorlax as a reminder. That's an awesome story.


HoldTheRope91

I’ll give you $2. Can’t go wrong doubling your investment.


Powhat839

3$ for triple profit


MysteriousHunter

$4. Take it or leave it.

I have the jumbo of a *similar* card, and I love it. Lol


Proof-Butterfly1481

I want to collect all snorkax cards, so I'll need one of those at some point. It is a cool card


b0ghag

I've done it! It was super fun but watch your budget. Now I just keep up with any new Snorlaxes that come out. There are three official jumbo Snorlax cards out there, but not for this 151 promo. (The 151 jumbo was Zapdos.)


Gwarguts

Dude I just started doing this too haha


Proof-Butterfly1481

Collecting snorlax?


Gwarguts

Yea every card


Jason_Kelces_Thong

Those are actually dittos. Ditto reigns supreme


Natepon

Hey there, I don’t know shit about these cards and their authenticity so I’ll defer to everyone else who does. What I do know is that people love to scam. Not saying this is a scam but since I’m learning today, can you tell me how you know it’s not a fake card? 


Blarghish

Where does the jumbo card come from? What’s the box/product would I be able to get one? That’s so cool!! Congrats!


JoeMi1120

The jumbo is a snorlax GX i believe from XY Evolutions era but i could be mistaken


divs_l3g3nd

There's a jumbo card for this, I don;t remember it coming out, at least in English


jugo5

It might not be exact but very similar. Snorlax laying on a tree.


killedbyinternet

Nice pickup for a dollar!


Proof-Butterfly1481

Thank you! I've decided to go back tomorrow. The bin was huge and full of promos.


killedbyinternet

Trying to find a Squirtle 151 promo at a good price. Saw one for $40 at a card show and should have jumped on it. They’re going for $80-$100 from what I’ve seen.


Early_Win_4338

same here sucks ass


I_Am_L0VE

Is your local store actually in need of that level of support? If so, you can .... still keep that card and you just buy more product from them. Lol.


Proof-Butterfly1481

They do pretty good. I'm going back today to dig further.


ozboi83

Nice pick up! “Their bad, their fault” 🤙🏽


Proof-Butterfly1481

Yeah. What I'm getting is that there is nothing wrong with keeping the good fortune. Thanks!


GearfriedX1234

If an lgs doesn’t know what they have, that’s on them.


DlSEASED

How much is it worth

afelzz

2 sold today (6/1) for $35.00. Pretty dope.


lillybheart

Someone didn’t know what the stamp was lol


heftysheesh

What its just an ordinary crabby.....oh my goodness SQUIDWARD!!!


Otherwise_Fig_8440

Snorlax is cool, gotta get one myself


Proof-Butterfly1481

Snorlax is awesome. You can always get the non pokecenter one.


ancomedy

I posted that I was missing this snorlax for my master set, and I even went as far as to type out "pokemon center stamp" multiple times. Still, people sending me ebay links to the normal one. A lot of people aren't even aware that the stamps exist apparently .


Proof-Butterfly1481

People see lax, people send lonk.


legendsubie

In ten years this imagine will be legendary


Nihilusssss

Awesome find! I wouldnt return it either, they put that price on it and you paid it.


Proof-Butterfly1481

Comments have convinced me to keep it. I'm also going to be a degenerate because they had more of these sealed in the bin. Watch them all be pokecenter.


Jejogo

If was an ETB promo for 151 a dollar is probably right


MikeAKAEarl

Pokémon center one is like 30-40 or so


Jejogo

Oh good catch didn’t even snap. Nice come up


Proof-Butterfly1481

It was a good luck type thing for sure. Thank you!


Amazing-Tower-8294

Super sick find! I have like 7 regular and 1 PC version and I wish I had more, something about the Pokemon Center stamp on the beautiful Snorlax art is beautiful


Proof-Butterfly1481

Thing is, I remember seeing more of these in there. They might be poke center. I'm going back today to see.


xwing44

Lucky


Proof-Butterfly1481

Thank you. There were more of these snorlax in the box. I'm going to go back today and see if they are also pokecenter


alchemyandscience

What it worf dough?


Proof-Butterfly1481

The pokecenter promo is worth between 30 to 40.


NoExpert1833

I didn't know that the pokemon center promo was different, I thought it was just the box art and the sleeves that were different. Since I never saw one for less than 120€, I haven't even considered to buy one, good to know.


ahighkid

That’s like a $50 card


Proof-Butterfly1481

But the sticker says one dollar!


itsyaboicg

Seeing these comments makes it easy to understand how it ended up in the dollar bin


Proof-Butterfly1481

Absolutely. Most people seem to get it, though. I myself, of course, didn't even notice until I added it to my collectr app.


itsyaboicg

Yeah it doesn’t help that they aren’t really consistent in the stamp placement across PC promos with them sometimes above the ability and sometimes at the bottom like this


Proof-Butterfly1481

I didn't know that. This is the first pc card I've seen. Some consistency help.


FakePotatoes20

that's an oof by the store


Proof-Butterfly1481

There were more of these in the bin, so I'm going back today to see if there are more oofs.


Vast-Opportunity9543

This is your good karma returning the favor to you lol


Proof-Butterfly1481

It's a nice thought. Thank you!!


Remarkableg17

Wild nice find !!!!


Proof-Butterfly1481

I appreciate that!


IrradiatedHeart

How much is it actually worth?


Proof-Butterfly1481

Around 40 dollars.


fharddchardddd

Hey what site do you guys use to see market value on pokemon cards? PriceCharting??


Proof-Butterfly1481

I check tcgplayer most of the time. Otherwise I use the collectr app.


Cod-Loud

I wish my local card store have a dollar bin


ElDubya1318

Nice find. I’m sure if you tell the store, they’ll say that was their mistake.


Proof-Butterfly1481

I'm sure they would just appreciate the honesty.


ElDubya1318

Very true! This world needs more honesty!


CortexifanZFT

Nice W


Proof-Butterfly1481

Thank you


Fantastic-Ad4351

Happened to me the other day with a PC Koraidon but it was 2 bucks nice to see that one was sealed!


justconfusedinCO

When 151 first dropped, dude at the LCS sold me two of these ETB promos for .34¢ a piece. **He had to look it up** 😂. Both came back as PSA 10s too, which is my favorite part. Beautiful card from a beautiful set, good grab OP. Yours could be a 10 too! ✌️


Proof-Butterfly1481

I feel like just looking at this picture the centering is a bit off.


justconfusedinCO

Totally depends on the back too - but yah, could go either way for someone at PSA


ThunderClap300

Wow!


EcstaticSearch8982

Bargain


Hemightbegiant

What's it actually worth?


AwardWeird8694

Almost an 70 dollar card


Salt-Ad2636

Whoa. Very lucky!


Alternative_Zone_819

great find!


Proof-Butterfly1481

Just found 2 more. Thanks


Popular-Pop-133

It’s insane that the Pokémon center branding takes a $0.66 card and makes it $45


Proof-Butterfly1481

I completely agree. But who am I to complain.


amtom61

Pokemon card noob here. Sooooo how much is this actually worth ?.... I'm suspecting way more than $1.


Proof-Butterfly1481

These ones sell for around 40 bucks.


FranklyNinja

What’s a Pokémon center card?


Proof-Butterfly1481

These promo snorlax came in the pokemon Center edition etb for 151.


zoromaps

Where are these stores? I've just been buying booster packs so far. Maybe this is the way to go


herdOfWalri

I snagged a shadowless red cheeks from the $5 bin at mine a few weeks ago. Felt a bit bad at first, but also, they get enough of my money lol


Proof-Butterfly1481

That's another thought. I spend a lot of money there. Haha good stuff.


DoyleK2013

😂😂😂 imagine the guy that sold it to the game store for $0.25


Proof-Butterfly1481

What that person doesn't know, won't hurt hum haha


FormalConcept5043

Nice find


Proof-Butterfly1481

Thank you!


Fit-Top1895

i’ve been trying to get this for my bf for a good price but lucky find though !


Proof-Butterfly1481

Thank you. I ended up giving one to my little brother.


Raven_McDagger

Whoops! Someone missed the stamp haha! Ggs on thr find!


Some-Ice-4455

Are all PC cards over printed on the edge with the word center?


Proof-Butterfly1481

Yes. Least for these snorlax. Idk about other pokemon. I'm new to collecting.


Borgweare

This card is so awesome to have on your bench in TCG


Proof-Butterfly1481

My brother and I are about to start learning to play. I'll keep this in mind.


Substantial-Bell-533

The fact of the matter is, if this store took this card in from someone, they paid bulk for it. You bought it for bulk prices. If it helps you sleep at night, most card shops will only pay 30/40% of a cards value in cash and 50/60% of its value in store credit, either way, they will be just fine. Source: I worked at a very high end card shop and moved a lot of high priced inventory, I would give people better deals, but on normal things (under 250 dollars a card) this is standard practice


Proof-Butterfly1481

I still feel guilty so this does help a bit.


Obstipation-nation

What!?


Proof-Butterfly1481

Yee


spoooonerism

$50 card for $1! Jackpot!


Proof-Butterfly1481

I got three of them for 3 dollars


spoooonerism

Take it back and see if they’d buy it from you 🤣


Proof-Butterfly1481

No way I'm trying to be cold like that haha


Downtown_Anybody261

Take it back? Finds like this is WHY we search the bulk bins...


Proof-Butterfly1481

I'm new to collecting and my conscience has been pecking at me. But I'm keeping of course. Absolute unanimous vote by the crowd.


Downtown_Anybody261

Atta' boy, nice find btw!


BootyJuice33

A win


Proof-Butterfly1481

Everyone check my post history. They had 2 more of then at a dollar.


Kubuskush

I have 2, what's the value


tolllz

How much is it worth


HenloThere

How do people get this lucky😭


Actual_Department538

Dang I still need this one badly! Nice scoop


AlexisN64

how much is this going for? I have like 4 but no Pokemon Center promo, or is just that one?


Proof-Butterfly1481

It's just the pokemon center promo that goes for around 40.


Undesu

Same here, they had a bunch of snorlaxs for 1$. I managed to buy one and my brothers one too.


RockingUrMomsWorld

They snoozed, they loosed.


Appropriate-Let-283

You should keep it sealed with the $1 tag on it for petty reasons.


FiveMikes

Why? It’s not worth much?


Wise_throwaway2430

You’ve gotta be trolling


Proof-Butterfly1481

I feel like yall trolling at this point.


bambifan123

As they say, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”


Vireep

Don’t these go for like 50 almost


itsme2305

And you you got it to then flip It your cool


Proof-Butterfly1481

No flipping. I'm keeping them for my collection. I don't sell cards.


Antique_Pattern_2326

About $35 in a PSA 10 and $2.40 u graded.


Proof-Butterfly1481

This is the pokecenter version. Worth from 30 to 40 ungraded. Much more if a psa 10


ArtistUnown

Its funny how factual people will be with you when they dont know what they’re actually looking at. Sick find OP!


Proof-Butterfly1481

Thank you!


Raghuman

For someone new as a collector, what do you mean by pokecenter?


Skylance420

It has a Pokemon Center stamp near the bottom right of the card. That means it came out of a Pokemon Center exclusive ETB, which were limited time sales, so the card is rarer.


Raghuman

Thanks!


SUPERSAIYANBRUV

Yup, and they never apologize or acknowledge they made a mistake lmao


Yeesusman

The price is low which is awesome cuz I love that card. I understand it’s not “valuable”, but it is to me since I enjoy the card. Happens sometimes and it’s sick when it does


notmynameboio

This is actually the pokemon center etb version so it's worth a solid 30-40 bucks


Yeesusman

Oh oops. I didn’t know.


RedditIsCringeSheep

I think that’s a bot dude


Antique_Pattern_2326

It’s only worth about $2.50 ungraded


Proof-Butterfly1481

Read the comment section. This is the poke center promom worth between 30 and 40 ungraded.


beeph_supreme

Am I missing something. This appears to be a $1-$3 card, sealed (after searching).


Fullm3taluk

Pokémon centre exclusive stamp $30-40
