Description: Hi! PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY (I get paid by the word! Don't I wish?) I own more than 90 Base Pokemon blister packs, which does not include my sealed blister box (see my listings). THIS IS THE LAST SHADOWLESS BASE SET BLISTER PACK I OWN. It is unweighed. As the headline mentions, this is super rare. Now, a while back some Pokemon "expert" with allegedly more Pokemon knowledge than I possess--told me that ONLY the Base set blister packs are guaranteed to have the Shadowless cards. The booster packs are not guaranteed to have the 11 Shadowless cards, but the vast majority of the booster packs that have the two lines of type at the bottom of the front of the pack do contain Shadowless cards. I subscribe to the late screenwriter William Goldman's view of life that "nobody knows nothing," meaning there are no experts--on anything. As I type this, it is currently 2:55pm eastern daylight time. I have already made six or seven mistakes today. That's a good day for me! By now, I have usually made a dozen or more errors. Anyway, I am 99.9% certain this blister pack contains 11 Shadowless Pokemon Base set cards. I only give 100% guarantees to two things: 1) We are all going to die (what a bummer!) and 2) The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. As some of you may know, at least 90% of all my Pokemon in my warehouse-singles packs, boxes and, yes, cases,--will be inherited by my four children. In the meantime, of course, I have to earn a living. This is NOT my hobby. This is how I have to earn a living for the past 27 years, including the last 23 years on eBay. That means I have to sell my items in a timely manner. Otherwise, I will hear my wife say something like this, "Hey Jerry, when are you going to make a deposit at the bank"? Fortunately, that has not happened too often in the past 28 years. Occasionally, if she is particularly stressed--isn't it amazing that creditors always send out the bills on time?--she might not use my first name when she asks the dreaded question. She might use a different word. A bad one. Consequently because this is my livelihood, all my prices have to be fair. As is this one. It is $2,888.00. Not a penny more. Not a penny less either. So, please do not ask for a discount because on my Buy It Now listings, I do not discount. It's $2,888.00 if you want it. If you don't want it, you would be overpaying by $2,888.00. Now the rules: 1) No discount, 2) Please add $33.20 for insured shipping with signature required services if you live in the continental U.S. 3) I also ship worldwide through eBay's International Shipping Program. Please check eBay for details. 4) If you have a question, please ask. 5) If you cannot afford this, please do not buy it. 6) I am proud of my eBay feedback, encompassing more than 7,600 separate transactions over the past 24 years. 7) I specialize in rare but generally affordable collectibles with primary focus on framed and unframed sports and non-sports photos, sports cards, rare Beanie Babies, Marilyn Monroe memorabilia (somebody has to do it!) and Pokemon cards and plush. I also have weekly vintage pack Pokemon auctions--English and Japanese--starting at 88 cents with no reserve. 8) The most important rule of all--Don't Forget Rule Number 1. Thanks for reading this far. You have probably read more in the last two minutes than the Orange Menace has probably read in his entire adult life. Not kidding. Thanks. Jerry P.S. The Blister pack is not perfect. The Blister is fully intact, but there are a few undulations in the blister, so if you are thinking about getting this rare Blister graded, I would advise against it. The pack itself is beautiful, so if you wanted to separate the blister from the pack, that is up to you. Unless you are putting together a Shadowless Base set, I would certainly advise you to never open this. Too, too rare. P.S. I HAVE SEEN A FEW PEOPLE ON EBAY WHO HAD ONE OF THESE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS WITH PRICES MORE THAN $700 MORE THAN MY PRICE. AND THIS IS LESS THAN I SOLD MY LAST ONE OF THESE ON EBAY! AND THIS IS MY LAST ONE OF THESE!!!
