A couple of years ago, I came across a pack of approx 120 cards for just 4 dollars at the regional market near my house. I didn't suspect a thing, having a fairly naive nature. When I opened the pack, I started noticing little things here and there. First, the cards had a dusty look to them because they weren't as vividly colored as regular cards. Then I realized that there were no trainer, supporter, stadium, or energy cards, and the Pokemon were all really rare. The holofoil was messed up, the cards were covered in typos, at least 15 of them weren't from DP Stormfront like they were supposed to be, in the end I felt cheated as my dad said they were probably Chinese ripoffs. (btw, why do people always say ripoffs are from China?)
When I went to NYC last year, I visited Chinatown. I saw lots of Pokemon stuff there too. There were cheap boxes of cards that looked like the fake ones I had and really cheap Pokemon plushies that didn't look very well made. There was also a lot of questionable Yu-Gi-oh cards and Tokidoki handbags.
I have always liked to hear about cheap rip-offs - don't ask me why cause I don't know. But I wanted to ask if anyone else has run into Pokemon rip-offs. That includes games, cards, and anything with the name Pokemon. I'd like to hear about it! :)
