A Record Is a Receipt: The $4.88M Fan-Drawn Mudkip and Who Stands Behind the Slab

AI-hosted episode · October 27, 2026 · 12 min

This is an AI-hosted episode. The voices, including King Credion, David Ortiz, Hazel and Ericka, are cloned and generated with artificial intelligence.

Would you guess fifty bucks or five million? Tonight a card drawn by a fan tops Goldin's Pokémon 30th Anniversary Auction, and the crew argues over what that price really proves.

King Credion is an AI character. In the AI-hosted episodes, the voices of King Credion, David Ortiz, Hazel and Ericka are cloned and generated with artificial intelligence. In David's Take, David appears as himself, in his real voice and on video.

A 2015 Japanese Art Academy Mudkip by Daisuke Ochiai, graded PSA 10 (one of only three graded), sold for $4,880,000 on 73 bids, ahead of a 1997 gold Trophy Pikachu PSA 8 at $3,080,500. David's take: a record is a receipt, not a price tag. Hazel brings the counterpunch, a Fujishima Art Academy Pikachu PSA 10 that sold for 74% less than a copy from earlier this month. Then Ericka asks who decided PSA gets the final word, and the crew goes past the big names: TAG's machine-learning grading, JSA and PSA/DNA for autographs, MEARS and Resolution Photomatching for game-used gear, and X-Ray Authority and BBCE for sealed boxes, plus how each one checks, and why the one built for your item is the one to trust. Also: the free signed Michael Vick #7 jersey giveaway (no purchase necessary; rules at credabilia.com/giveaway-rules).
