Summary
- A Pokemon TCG fan claims to have scored 36 rare booster packs for only $40 at a garage sale.
- Packs include Hidden Legends, XY, Jungle Booster, and more.
- While it's rare, gamers can sometimes find valuable Pokemon TCG deals at garage sales.
A Pokemon TCG fan has recently purchased a huge collection of valuable booster packages for only $40 at a garage sale. Pokemon TCG cards can be worth some serious money, and acquiring these packages for such a cheap price was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for this fan.
The first collection of cards in the Pokemon Trading Card Game was first released in 1996 in Japan and then brought to the United States by Wizards of the Coast in 1999. Over the years, over 100 card sets have been released for the game.
January 29 is Going to Be a Big Day for Pokemon TCG Pocket
Wednesday, January 29 is set to be a particularly exciting day for fans of the Pokemon TCG Pocket mobile game.
Now, a lucky Pokemon TCG fan called Sushioko has shared a picture of a ridiculously expensive collection of booster packages they found at a garage sale a few days ago. According to the fan, they were in Dallas when they saw a garage sale sign, and then purchased some “assorted packs” from a woman. She said her son had gone off to college, and she was selling some of his old objects, so the Redditor claims to have only paid $40 for the full package. When they opened it, they saw at least 36 rare and considerably old sealed booster packs, including cards from collections such as Hidden Legends, Legend Maker, Jungle Booster, XY, Diamond & Pearl, and others. When sold online, these valuable Pokemon TCG booster packs would likely fetch thousands of dollars at the very least.
Lucky Pokemon TCG Fan Finds Unique Haul at Garage Sale
In the post’s comments, most gamers were either impressed with the OP’s luck or doubted the truth of the story. In one comment, Sushioko even claimed they would return to the place and offer the cards back for a reasonable price, but they seem to have gone back on this idea in a later comment. In any case, it’s impossible to confirm whether this is a real story, as Sushioko didn’t provide any actual proof of what happened, so it’s better to take the whole story with a grain of salt.
Despite these events being rare, it’s not completely uncommon for gamers to find excellent Pokemon TCG deals at garage sales. Some time ago, one fan found a crate full of Pokemon TCG cards at a yard sale for only $5.
On another occasion, one Pokemon TCG fan spent $50 on reverse holo Dark Blastoise #4 at a garage sale. With the card being worth up to $3,200, it was a very lucky find.
