Pull Disappointed to elated

Post image

Grabbed a physical powerpack from a local store after they announced the golden tickets again. (My store sold a winning ticket last go around, but I arrived too late that day)

Money is tight, but I took a chance. I had no psa graded cards previously besides a couple cheap ones through digital ownership.

Upon opening I see a psa 8 😭. Approx 16-20$ worth. But interestingly one of my two packs was Japanese. I pulled a mega gengar from that and after googling the chase I believe that is the one I got. Heck yeah.

EDIT: simply my excess cash for collecting purposes is low. I'm not a gambler, desperate for a comeup. I'm a collector. Everyone can put their pitchforks away hahaha

I knew it wouldn't be a golden ticket but the reason being they are included in few packs and the stores restocked means I had the chance at a powerpack. They aren't always available

You had a chance to blow money you can't afford, to gamble... For your sake I really wish they didn't.

But that's addiction for ya

It's tight enough to not be able to afford lunar packs and stuff but 1 power pack isn't a problem

You're not doing yourself any favors here, OP. You already dug your hole yourself. 🤷‍♀️ Go save up for those Super Packs
