Prerelease / Staff Stamp
Dark Gyarados Team Rocket #8 belongs to the Prerelease / Staff Stamp family. Grookai treats this as event distribution stamp with high confidence.
Why it exists
Prerelease cards are selected expansion reprints with a Prerelease or expansion-logo stamp; staff versions were produced for event organizers beginning with the Diamond & Pearl expansion.
Why collectors care
Prerelease and Staff stamps identify event-distribution copies, and Staff copies are often more limited because they were distributed to organizers rather than regular participants.
Look for a PRERELEASE, expansion-logo, or STAFF stamp on the card face.
Source-backed modeling
Prerelease and Staff stamps are parent identity modifiers because the stamp changes the distribution identity of the physical card.
