The rumors are true, the Silver Flasher Checklist card does exist! Very very rare card to pull; you need to crack appx 4 boxes to pull this card once, and PSA Silver Flashers only hit 10s 1-in-6 cards, equating to about 24 boxes needed to hit this card in Gem 10 condition. This will be the first Silver Flasher Checklist card ever graded.
Please see pics for a reference to the normal Checklist card.
The difference between the 2 cards is subtle, but present. Silver Flasher #s 1-137 have 3 distinguishing characteristics compared to their normal base cards, however Silver Flasher Checklist #138 only has 1 out of these 3 characteristics, due to fundamental design differences between the checklist card and the rest of the base cards.
Some notes to consider:
- the Checklist card does not have enough open space at the front bottom section where the "Flasher" lettering goes (like with all other Flashers) – the circular center portion of Marvel Metal checklist logo extends down on this card instead of cutting off like the normal base cards
- unlike the normal base cards where the primary side of the card is the front of the card, the checklist card's primary side is its rear side. this is why the Silver Flasher checklist card has a normal back. if they were to replace all the info on the rear of the normal checklist card with the standard silver flasher power ratings “yellow back” for the Silver Flasher Checklist, it’s not a checklist anymore, now it's just a “logo” card
- the Checklist is a non-player card; putting any sort of Power Ratings stats (which describe player abilities) anywhere on the Checklist card wouldn't make any sense
- the single best, and most important means to validate if it is indeed a Silver Flasher is if certain portions/hues on the front of the card were replaced with silver coloring on the Flasher variant -- this is most definitely the case - one of the most obvious is under Spider-Man's outstretched arm. Some sections on Hulk are also obviously changed to silver as well.
I do hear some arguments from time to time doubting the existence of this card:
- Number one thing i hear is that "the card isn't in PSA's Population Report". This argument implies any card that PSA hasn't graded yet, doesn't actually exist. This is a bad argument, please don't make this argument.
- Number two thing i hear is "i've tried already they won't add it" -- I have no way of knowing what card you submitted, when you submitted, or how accurately you followed the process. this is also a bad argument.
- Number three thing i hear is "trust me i know i have a complete PSA 10 set" -- this argument implies whoever spends the most money on something knows the most about it. Another bad argument. and no, you don't have a complete set :)
*The price you see is a placeholder; PSA mislabeled this upon first submission, so it's getting it re-slabbed. Please note this mislabel was expected -- PSA has a formal process for validating/adding new cards to the database that can be involved and lengthy. I saw no point in going through all that for a low-grade card, so it was submitted with a bulk order along with a handful of other Metals. While I submitted it as a Silver Flasher, I made no attempt whatsoever to explain or validate or formally submit or anything like that; I just mashed "Silver Flasher" into the name field and hoped someone at PSA would just research and add on their own (which they don't do obviously). Now that I know I have a 10, I'm obviously going to go through the formal process of getting the card added to PSA's database. Once added, I can then just submit to have it relabeled*
Any slab listed I personally submitted to PSA from packs or boxes I cracked myself.
Any slabs I am willing to take offers on will be posted accordingly. If it's a fixed price lot, please don't message with a Best Offer; please add it to your Watch List instead. I am a reasonable seller and will update stale lots over time.
Please no requests to complete transactions outside of eBay's Marketplace.
I do occasionally purchase sealed boxes/packs; if you have items for sale that I am looking for, we can probably get some additional business done so please let me know if that's the case. Please note I am not interested in other PSA slabs, just sealed boxes and packs.
All items will be triple packaged -- graded card sleeve / cardboard cocoon / bubble mailer.
All items will ship via USPS First Class (unless otherwise stated) within 3 business days of payment. Combined shipping offered.
For anything not covered in the above, please don't hesitate to reach out and ask.
Thanks
