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.
