I'm one of the Robot Chicken writers who attended the MTG Pro Tour San Diego in 2010. I was given a special promo Robot Chicken card, one of only six in existence.
Here's a shot of the card, just a quick thing from my phone that I put on a message board a few years ago. I'm in a right-click kind of mood, I can put better pics up later.
And I just posted "Bawk" to my Twitter account, @Darkhugh. Really, that's as much as I can do. My blood type is 0+, but I'm not willing to share.
Anyway.
I'm thinking about selling one of these cards--I actually have two, because one was given to my wife. The top line is that it's a crime to have such a cool thing out of the hands of a fan when I'll still always have one, the bottom line is that I have two kids and whatever the value is would be better spent on them.
I'm starting to spread the word, but I'm not ready to take any offers yet. What I could use is some advice.
I have no clue what the value could be--I don't know how seriously folks will take it. The card is regular-sized, but it's actually a sticker on a normal card back, which I understand is what most of the other one-or-few-of-a-kind cards are as well. But considering that, it's in great shape. I've never removed it from that case.
The only way to figure out the value of the card is to auction it, but eBay takes some hefty percentage fees and finds any reason to screw the seller. I've been on the ass end of their hijinks more than a few times. So I'm thinking about auctioning it through one of the major sites. I'm trying to do this tastefully, since it was a gift and I don't want to just put it up somewhere with an astronomical price tag. So maybe it's a silent auction kind of thing.
So, questions for ya:
Have any of these super rare cards ever been sold before? Any info about how that went down?
Has anyone had any experience trying to get a sticker card graded?
Is there a particular online merchant that's considered highly trustworthy or whom I should avoid?
What is your favorite color?
I'm a longtime Redditor, mostly a lurker, but I don't use this account because who the hell wants to be accountable on Reddit. I've also been around MTG Salvation and such, and I'll probably hit them up over there too.
Thanks in advance!
PS: Yes, I know. I'd love to sell it to you. I wish I had enough to give everyone. Sorry I don't, and sorry I can't just raffle it or give it away for the coolest story about your first MTG game. I'd ******* love to do that. I'm using my kids as a cover story because a) it's true and b) all the stuff you're thinking. I'd be happy to give away a copy of my book for the best story about your first Magic game (City Under the Moon, buy it now on Amazon or don't), but let's be honest, you probably want a copy of my book about as bad as I want to hear about your first Magic game. Unless there was sex involved.
PPS: No DMs please. Let's just talk here so I can answer questions for everyone.
PPPS: And I can't read any sketches for legal purposes, sorry again.
PPPPS: Seth Green smells better than anything you could possibly imagine, under any circumstances, anywhere, even in mythical places.
PPPPPS: If you're that douchebag pro who was a dick to me at the last tournament, I haven't forgotten. And I also haven't forgotten that I beat your ass and then dropped because my wife said I had to go and she is in charge of me. And I'm rooting against you every time I see your stoopid face. You know who you are.
I also posted this in Reddit. I apologize to the Salvation moderators, but here's the link, if you'd like to join that conversation. I'll also try to get back here.

I would recommend Saito at Hareruya as a place to try. He always has tons of P9 in stock and often carries super rare cards. He is the SCG's of Japan and is now playing again, so maybe you can meet up in person to deliver the card if you are worried about sending it overseas, if you work out a deal. I am guessing he is paying better than SCG's since he has so much more power in stock. And yes he sells a ton of it.
Here is a link to his P9 and other ultra expensive cards page.

I can't seem to get the English translation of that site to work for me--it keeps bouncing me back to the main menu, and branching off of that goes back to Japanese--and I can't find his high-end cards. What am I doing wrong?
