Yesterday my buddy from out of state was in Indianapolis, so we met up for lunch. Afterward I stopped by a local card shop just to see what they had. I picked up a card for my Destined Rivals master set and noticed they were selling single packs straight out of booster boxes. I planned on grabbing a couple, but the guy in front of me bought the last four from the open box.
When I got to the register I asked for two packs. The cashier opened a fresh booster box, pulled two packs from the middle of the right side, and said, “Brand new box.” I said something dumb like, “Hopefully it’s a good pull,” thanked him, paid, and headed out.
I drove an hour and some change home. When I got back, I showed my girlfriend the Destined Rivals card I picked up and asked which pack she wanted. She took the left one and I kept the right.
She opened hers first and hit an alt art Mega Heracross. So now I’m expecting nothing from mine because surely she pulled the hit. Then I get to the third-to-last card, pull it up, and my heart absolutely drops. I screamed, “Holy shit, I just pulled the Charizard.”
The whole thing felt surreal.
