Featured DCM Sold Card: A Gem Mint 10 Seismitoad
A flawless Illustration Rare, a custom owner-designed slab, and a clean eBay sale
Every so often a card rolls through DCM that just hits different. This week's Featured Sold Card is a great example, a 2025 Black Bolt Seismitoad that graded flawless, got a custom slab from its owner, and then found a happy new home on eBay.
Let's get into it.
🐸 The Card
This is the Seismitoad Illustration Rare from the 2025 Pokemon SV Black Bolt set. It's one of those full-art IR cards where the artwork does all the talking, busy, colorful, and packed with detail. It's the kind of card that looks incredible behind a slab.

🏷️ Custom Slabbed, Owner's Touch
Here's the part we love. This one was not just graded, it was custom slabbed by its owner using the DCM label designer. Instead of a generic plastic case, the card got a personalized slab built to match its personality. Your card, your grade, your label. That little bit of customization turns a graded card into a real one of one display piece.
💰 The Sold Value
The hammer came down at $276 on eBay.
For context, raw and PSA 9 copies of this Seismitoad have been trading right around the $250 to $310 range, so a Gem Mint DCM 10 landing at $276 sits comfortably in the heart of the market. All without risking mailing away the card and waiting weeks or months for it to return!
