Spoiler:


Poor thing never got a chance. Just picked up a box from my local gamestop and didn't notice this until it was too late. I've sent in a ticket about it, hopefully they can do something?

On the other hand, I did pull a FA Rotom Dex from one of the packs, so it wasn't all bad I guess? Still sucks that the card I got the box for is wrecked >:(

Look at it this way: at least it's only the Black Star promo version and not the one from the set. The one from the set typically has a higher value than the Black Star promo one.

Still, If I'm getting something brand new, I'd expect to be in "new" condition, not already damaged and worthless. The value isn't as important to me; it's the fact that I'm building a Lycanroc GX box and this puts me at needing one more copy than I expected for the deck.

Unfortunately, promo cards coming from the box damaged like this are way more common than they should be. They probably don't pay the people who package their products enough to care.

Nearly all of them are coming damaged, TPCI are absolutely awful at the moment. Kick up a fuss, you deserve a fresh one

I've had a damaged card replaced before no problem. It wasn't a single promo card like this, though. Mine was from a sealed booster.

Status update for anyone who's checking this thread out: They've offered to replace the card :D

Just need to get down to the post office and send it off. Hoping I can get this taken care of soon.
