[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

There is a difference between the Geodude card and the Skarmory "card." The Geodude card is a rare promotional physical card, tournament legal, bearing Morgusi's art. Just being a Morgusi card instead of some lesser artist's card makes it very valuable, for a card. It's a copy in the same way that all cards are, aside from the one unique original.

The Skarmory "card" is printed on the birthday card directly. This is not easy to do with Morgusi's art, and it was probably fairly costly to get such a high quality print, but it is not a physical trading card. It is not tournament legal because it's basically a photo of the card, albeit a very good one. Now, it's printed on cardstock and Nathan could cut it out if he wished, but it's not really a card. You can think of it as a high-quality bootleg.

Tried to make this clear as we went along but I don't think we're on the same page. Hopefully this post makes it clear! (Maybe it was a confusing idea to try to put a birthday card and a trading card in the same context).
