Hi my error card has been labeled 1/1 INELIGIBLE TYPE/RESEARCH MODE

what does this mean , is it actually graded and encapsulated or will it return ungraded?

I contacted cgc prior to sending the card in , the senior grading team said as long as it is genuine they would grade it.

Which it absolutely is

so what does this title 1/1 INELIGIBLE TYPE/RESEARCH MODE mean for my error card

That looks like one of those polished cards. If it is, they aren’t misprints and its common knowledge how to create them.

It is 100% genuine, I pulled this card personally myself ,

I am so excited to have cgc grade it , so people don’t say those types of things about this card, 

this very likely 1 of kind card,

we’ll it is to date so far.

As soon as it is graded certified and encapsulated,

I will be showing it off EVERYWHERE 😁

Was your card graded? I recently had "INELIGIBLE TYPE/RESEARCH MODE" cards return ungraded, which was an unhappy surprise.

Yes it was in the end, I had to go to the millennium print group, and have the error verified, it was a long process but in the end CGC graded it, grade 9 , it has actually just sold on Goldin two days ago for $2500 aud, 

you need to dig deeper,  help the process yourself, that’s what I had to do, I contacted the Pokemon quality manager, Luke welsh at the millennium print group in North Carolina.

good luck I hope you can get it done
