Unusual package of cards?

  • So one day I decided to go to a different Target than usual for my Pokémon cards. Way, at the back of the shelf behind every other package I found some in a different looking package. I'm sorry, i have no pics. The package was plain purple with the word "Pokémon" nowhere on the front, just listing how many cards were inside. I bought and opened it. The cards were all from BW, rather than XY as current cards are. They had slightly older dates on them (2008-2012) and in the back were three loose Holo Happiny cards and a Rotom. (I gave one Happiny to my sister, so only 2 now).
    Now, I trust Target, and all the cards passed the test as legitimate, but I have just never seen them like that.II'll post pictures if I can. Has anyone else ever seen this kind of package?

    I think I know the type you're talking about. Pics to confirm, please?

    99.9% they are legit. I forgot how they come about, but I think some 3rd party company repackages loose pokemon cards and builds this "booster" and sells them.
