So... I Found This Yesterday

To many of you, it may just look like a regular old yugioh card - which it did to me at first as well. I pulled it out of common card binder at a comic/game/card/toy store yesterday, and set it aside to buy because I remembered that there was some sort of history to the card that I had read at some point in my life. I figured I'd go ahead and buy it and just look it up whenever I got home.

Turns out, this card is one of only 100 of these that were printed for the WB Kids Promo pack back in the early 2000s. And before you say wait - that card was released in The Lost Millenium - or I have one of those! - this card's set number is EP1-EN000, as opposed to the TLM set number, and this one is a common, whereas the other is a super rare I believe.

It turns out that because of the rarity of the card, and because so few of them are still in existence/located, the previous sales of this card have been over $3500. Imagine my surprise when discovering this! Now those other sales have been mint, and unfortunatly mine has a bit of a "ding" on one corner, but it's still in very impressive condition. The one flaw on it is actually pretty minimal, and the rest of the card looks perfect. Color me impressed for happening onto this gem out of dumb luck.

Found Pokemon XY Booster Packs at Walmart Today

Found some of the new Pokemon XY booster packs at Walmart today. This actually surprised me quite a bit because the set doesn't actually release until Wednesday, so it was pretty cool to get a "sneak peek" at it. Unfortunatly I didn't pull any EX cards, but I still got a lot of really nice Trainers (even two in reverse) and a Gogoat foil, which is surprisingly good.

 Of the cards I pulled it actually seems like there some substantial grass support in this set, but I this is literally all I've seen of it so far, as I tend not to look at any spoilers for the set prior to buyinga couple packs first. I've always done that regardless of the game (Yugioh, Magic, etc) because I like the surprise of what I pull, and to me, knowing every card going in just isn't as fun as looking at every card you pull and seeing how good it is (or isn't). I plan on getting a few more packs of this later on (I got four today) in the hopes of getting some of the EXs (a Skarmory? Heck yeah!) and maybe I'll do a pack opening video of them then.

I actually just picked the Pokemon game back up about six months ago with the release of Plasma Freeze, after being gone from it for all the years since Neo Destiny came out - a REALLY long time ago. I've really been enjoying it so far just playing with friends, not so much competitivlythough. Anyway, I'll update you guys on any good pulls I end up getting from the set.

Finally Got Some of the Digimon Fusion CCG packs!

I picked these up off of ebay, got the first pack for $5.50, and then found a listing a few days later with 3 packs for $10. This will probably be all I get of this set of cards, as the cards are fun and have good art, but it's just a 60 card set and by the last pack I opened I pulled all but one duplicate card.

I did some pack-opening videos for them on youtube, and I'll link them below, so give them a watch if you're interested!
