Pokémon General → Platinum: Arceus; Best Mistake Ever

As I walked along the sunlit sidewalk headed for home, I glance into my Walmart bag. Inside; I see an Arceus Poster Box and Flamestarter theme deck.

I open the door, and walk over to my desk to open 'em up. I start with the theme deck; save the best for last, I thought to myself. Knowing what was in there, I easily breezed through, looking at what cards were in this set. Astonished at how the Arceus cards were to be laid out, I move on to the Poster Box. As I removed the thin, plastic coating covering the box, I wondered, "Will my luck with Arceus be as bad as Supreme Victors?" As you will see, it will not.

I open the box, and suddenly I noticed an extra hint of yellow along the edge of the promo Arceus. Curious, I picked it up to examine it closer. The yellow had gone! But how?

I looked down at the packs, and what! Another Arceus promo lay there, packaged two in the same box! Amazed at my luck, I posted this to all the forums I was a member of (Pokémon related, of course), and framed them both. They stay in the frame to this day.

BTW, I also got a Fighting/Rock Arceus and holographic Froslass, everything else overshadowed by the packaging error.

Wow.
I don't get trading cards any more, and when I did I never got any rare cards :/

I opened a couple packs live on stream a while back and received two holographic Charizard Lv. X cards, so you're not the only one with that kind of luck.

I think I topped it just now. I drew FOUR Arceus, a Tangrowth Lv. X, a Shiny Bagon, two Bronzong (one reverse holo), Probopass, Sceptile, and Gengar in one of the poster boxes (five boosters).

I really am starting to like that Wal-Mart now. I got another set with three packs. I got Arceus Grass, Salamence, and the ultra-rare Time-Space Distortion (DP: Mysterious Treasures 124/123).

I have the same Luxray, but I MUST find a holo Luxray eventually. I also found a Rising Rivals booster box at a discount-cards store by my house for around $70. I'll tell if I get anything good.
