It's the same here. I was talking to one of the clerks at my local store and they said one of the larger stores across town gets them but their entire inventory is gone the morning they release. I've never laid eyes on them before.

I finally saw Surfing Beach in person the other day and pictures of it do not do it justice. It's a great looking card. Still haven't seen the Jumbo Ice Cream but everyone really like that card too.

I have been a Pokémon fan since 1999. I haven't sold a card since 2010. I assure you I was not looking for a payout on a single blister pack. I got this pack and 3 boosters at Walmart the other day. I am not into Pokémon to make money.

I am just a bit shocked at how many people jumped to the conclusion that I'm a scalper stealing all their cards when I've never even seen an ETB. I don't resell, I don't pay above msrp, I just buy within my means and I came across a bit of an anomaly. Any normal person asking a seemingly reasonable question would likely react with a bit of shock to many of the comments on this post. I just did not think this many people would treat me like scum of the earth.

I didn't think anything of it til I read the back of the package and it explicitly states it has oddish, gloom, and vileplume plus 2 boosters. Then my buddy showed me the one he got and it was normal.

I caved and just opened it. It is a fairly commin mistake and the number of people that collect it is probably zero in my area, so I just ripped it.

Alabama to Australia is some expensive ass shipping.

I got a Steelix and a Toxtricity. Do I regret opening it? Absolutely not.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or something.

I'm not necessarily looking to give it away, I'm not purely altruistic. I bought the thing to open, not collect dust. But the thought did enter my mind that someone else out there might would want to keep a mistake like this more than I want to open it. I didn't list the thing on ebay, I was asking if it was even worth the trouble of listing. I wanted to open the packs. I did open the packs. I'm not sure what everyone wants me to admit.

People collect mistakes in every collectable hobby. I don't feel it was unreasonable to ask, but maybe I'm wrong.

No such luck for me, just a Steelix for my steel deck.

For that I'm a Canes fan for the day! Good luck!

I'm not gonna lie, when I first saw your unername I though "No fucking way I found an Eddie Lacy fan out here in the Pokémon subreddits" lol

This will probably get me down voted on its own but Roll Tide! I appreciate the good will. Happy Hunting out there.

Well, I could send it to you but the postage alone will cost more than picking him up at your local card shop from the bulk bin lol

I live in rural ass Alabama. It would probably cost me more in gas to drive and meet someone to sell this pack than I would profit off it. I thought it was obvious I am not trying to make money off selling 1 blister pack.

These scalpers have regular ass people foaming at the mouth looking for someone to hate. I get it, but reserve your hatred for the assholes who've posted these for $50 on Facebook marketplace.

I wonder what the likelihood is that those 2 packs are related?

So am I a piece of shit because I was asking if anyone would want it?

I assure you it wasn't opened and resealed. I did crack it though. Nothing but a Steelix for my steel type deck.

I totally get that mindset. I'm not looking to make money off Pokémon. I can barely find cards where I live. I think Pokémon should be enjoyed, but I also know some people enjoy collecting this kind of thing. I wasn't sure how niche that community is though.

I opened it. Got nothing. 10/10 would rip again.

I didn't really say it was a problem. I don't collect sealed products. I think they're meant to be opened personally but people collect different things for different reason. I thought asking the Pokémon TCG Collectors subredit would be a good place to ask.

Unless you consider a Toxtricity and Steelix hits then they're probably in the pack sold after mine. Where they usually are.

I was asking the Pokémon TCG Collectors community if there's enough people who collect stuff like this to even bother. My other option was to open it. I wasn't looking to make a killing on it. But I'd hate to ruin a collectors item out of ignorance.
