A lucky Pokemon TCG player has recently pulled a rare Victini foil card with a texture shift error, which could be worth a considerable amount of money. Veteran Pokemon TCG players sometimes get lucky when pulling cards from boosters, but this one essentially hit the jackpot.
Originally released in 1996 in Japan and in 1998 in the United States, Pokemon TCG is one of the most popular trading card games ever made. Over the years, the game has released over 100 card sets, and billions of cards have been shipped worldwide. The card game was so successful that it inspired the greatly popular Pokemon TCG Pocket, which was downloaded over 10 million times in under 48 hours.

Pokemon TCG Players Pulls Victini Card With Texture Shift Error
Now, a Pokemon TCG player called Key-Sprinkles8023 has shared their latest lucky find: a Victini (172/086) card from Black Bolt and White Flare set with a texture shift mistake. In the three pictures shared by the player, it was possible to see the error: the foil of the Victini card was placed in the wrong place, making it possible to notice two Victini on the card when looking from a certain angle. The gamer also asked whether the card was worth grading and selling, to which the community answered that it was a solid idea due to the rarity of this error. A normal Victini (172/086) card costs around $500 when purchased online, and an error like this one could increase its price considerably.
Key-Sprinkles8023 is far from the only player to get lucky while pulling Pokemon TCG cards, though. Earlier this week, for example, another gamer pulled a Lillie’s Clefairy Pokemon TCG ex card. While not as rare as the Victini with the error, the card can cost over $100 on eBay, and its most expensive sale recorded on the site was $700.
Earlier this year, another Pokemon TCG player pulled two Victini cards from the Black Bolt and White Flare set, another incredibly lucky feat. While the cards did not have any kind of error in them, they were fairly valuable and may have given this gamer quite some money.
Some gamers actually buy rare cards at incredibly low prices instead of pulling them from boosters, though. For example, a gamer has recently bought a Giratina VSTAR card for only $35 from a local card game store. The card could be purchased for around $150 to $200 online, which made a hefty profit for the gamer. Hopefully, other lucky players will continue sharing their amazing stories with the community.
