P2 Gold -- Philly Fall 2023 NonSport Show

P3 Gold -- Archive Box Exclusive

Archive box only ? Wow, that is nuts. I think a dealer needs to buy 18 to 20 cases to get 1 archive box

In the case of SNW, it was 12 cases.
But, it's sold out so you can't get any more now.

Problem I see with this is 90% of archive boxes go towards making master sets because of the exclusives. Very rarely do you see one parted out. Though I have seen a few group breaks, so that might free up a few.

Completing sets has gotten MUCH more challenging these days.

I have seen scans.

Are the only differences between the gold and regular promos the little gold lines on the front ?

I think the gold line is the only difference between the promos...

A gold P3 sold for $ 200 on ebay. I have only seen one surface so far.

There is one up for auction now for $ 400.00

words fail me.

If it is an Archive Box exclusive, doesn't that usually mean that less than 50 exist ?

No, it means that there is one in each archive box. How many exist is anybody's guess.

Is this a new thing which RA will be doing, gold variants on promos ? Why have they decided to do this now ? I don't recall any prior RA promo variants aside from the ones they did 20 years ago where they changed the photos/text and most if not all were unreleased or recalled. This is something new.

I saw a gold P3 sell for as low as $ 50 on ebay.

Have only seen 5 show up so far.

The others sold for $ 100-200 each.
