I pulled this Empoleon V alt art from a single pack I bought at a card show for $8 (CAD), and as you can already tell its front is toast and not near mint.
I figured I’d use this incidence to remind you all that cards pulled fresh from packs won’t be near mint and/or gradeable 100% of the time, so do think twice before including the fact you pulled your card(s) straight from packs in your listing when selling cards and determining conditions
