Debated posting this anywhere because it’s such an unbelievable story. These were two cards that I never thought that I would ever have in my possession.
I was bulk diving at my LCS New Year’s Day looking for playables when these two guys came in looking to sell their old collections. They had lots of cool RS/DP era stuff (lots of ex and Lv X cards) that the owner was taking in, but they couldn’t take these two because they were BEAT UP. The mew is completely separated, and the charizard has tape and writing on the back. I tell them that these cards are amazing, and that I wish I had these, even in this condition. The guy who owned the charizard looks at me and goes “nobody wants this s***, do you want it for $10?” I snatched it up immediately. The other guy sold me the mew for $20. I completely used up my luck for the next few years, but I’ll take it to have these two in my collection.
