Ah those great time collecting TCG when I was a kid, and the stores over here were CRAMMED with Pokemon stuff... :3 I miss those days...
Anyway, I wanted to reply because I have a rather funny TCG story of mine to share. So, back when I was like 12 years old, some annying kid at school was bragging about how he got a Holo Dark Raichu. Ofcourse, he did not take it with him to the playground at school (because he didn't have one obviously, we later found out) and no one had a Dark Raichu so no one even knew what this card looked like. I wasn't even beginning to start collecting the Rocket series yet at the time, because I needed some other cards for my Jungle Set.
Anyway, since he was bragging about it, I decided to buy one single Rocket booster pack after school because I knew from the other kids what some Rocket cards looked like and I thought some where pretty nice. As the dedicated Pokemon fan I am, I went to the store and bought one Booster Pack. I opened it in front of the store, and guess what... in my Booster Pack was that awesome Holographic Dark Raichu! I was really happy (since Raichu is also one of my favourite Pokemon) to add this awesome card to my collection.
The next day, I took it to school to show it off :3 and that other guy came along and said my Dark Raichu must have been fake because the numbers right-below depicted "83/82". I already was aware of this, because I liked to stare at holographic cards as much as I could, and I didn't understand at the time what this actually meant. Ofcourse most kids wanted to trade with me right away, but obviously I did not want to trade my dear Dark Raichu away :)
Today, that same Dark Raichu is still part of my collection of Rocket Cards, which is now finished :)
And psst, it is actually a Secret Rare :3
So, did any of you guys ever pulled a Dark Raichu too? Or someone you know?
