The "glossy" card was shipped to Coro Coro Comic customers in Japan in March of this year. It should be identical to the non-1st Edition Promo Pikas that WOTC gave out at the TCG League this year. Because of this extra distribution the value of "non-1st" Promo Pika should be lower than the "1st Edition" ones that were miscollated into Jungle booster packs. How exactly is the "Promo" star different? I wasn't aware of this. Brian Brokaw
