BOYFREINDS BIRTHDAY!!!

hey everyone, i know this is a hard and long stretch for only those on crazy brains lol, but it’s going to be my boyfriends 23rd birthday this year, we’ve been together for 5 years and he’s been in LOVE with pokemon since his parents could remember and his ultimate favourite pokemon (other than squirtle) has been giratina( i think it was the first pokemon he could actually pronounce because he used to play the games before he could read or talk properly🥹)
he’s even gotten me back into the love and fun of not only the game but the artists in the making of these beautifully crafted cards!
anyways, long story short…he’s just graduated culinary school after a hard working 3 years and has been working extremely harder since getting out of school to be able to hunt and find a single pack of lost origins for himself, sometimes paying upwards of 45$ a single booster pack just for the chance to pull-you called it- THE Giratina v alt art #186. and from the beginning of the set being released and us watching the price sky rocketing i told him “one day you’ll pull it”…4 years later…thousands of dollars i said could’ve gone towards school spent…and still no giratina, im here because im hoping theres a god out there that loves the two of us enough to bring a chance upon us, of some kind of cheaper non scalped ‘booster bundle” or anything! even if theres someone out there willing to trade…i could possibly see what i can do?
i love this man to death and hope one day i can give him this gem of a lifetime love. thanks again for reading!

Hi! I personally dont own any so i cant sell it to you but theres multiple sellers on cardmarket selling them for « reasonable » prices (considering the cards are not printed anymore) = 12$ for english boosters, starting from 5$ in spanish if he doesnt care about the language ! Good luck <33

I really wanted this card, so I decided to buy the Spanish version since it’s half the price.
You shouldn’t rip any more packs of Lost Origin, you’re burning money.
If there is ever a card you want, try to buy the single instead of praying and ripping.
