With all that said, let’s take a look at 5 of these diamonds in the rough.
With that being said, let’s get into the article and have a look at the most expensive booster packs in existence. I’d recommend you to use an intermediary to complete the transaction. If you’re buying them to add to your collection as your ‘grail’ piece or buying them as an investment please ensure you do so safely to avoid being scammed out of your hard earned cash. "īe warned: the following video will give any person who grew up in the late '90s/early 2000s a rush of nostalgia that goes well beyond the recommended daily dose.These packs contain cards that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars alone, and that’s exactly what makes them so rare and so expensive. "In my Instagram video, you can see I literally peeled this pack off of the ground out of a potential two-decade-old pile of floor wax and what seemed to be animal feces," Martin adds. He later explains that the employee in charge of stocking Pokémon products at the store allowed him to walk away with the prize for a cool $4.99. Immediately after unearthing the early 2000s artifact, Martin documented his incredible find in a short Instagram video, where he proves its authenticity. In it, he pulls up a bottom Target shelf to reveal a collection of accumulated filth and a grimy rectangle where the cards had presumably sat for two decades next to a Speedo tag and other miscellaneous debris. That, of course, was only a taste of the Base Set 2 bounty that what was to come later that same week. "I had heard a rumor from a previous Target trip that people were finding vintage packs underneath the shelves, but nothing as old as the Base Set 2 pack," Martin tells SYFY WIRE. "Earlier that week, I was at a store in northern New Jersey when a kid who was also searching for cards found a Diamond & Pearl Blister and a Dragons Exhalted Blister using the same 'under the shelf method.' After seeing how successful the kid was, I went searching that same day and found a Black & White - Legendary Treasures Blister Pack." Depicting a Raichu - the evolved form of Pikachu - on its packaging, the cards hail from Base Set 2 (aka the fourth expansion series), which, according to Bulbapedia, was first released in February of 2000. You don't need to sail to remote desert islands in an effort to find valuable booty - just head to your local superstore. While shopping for a Darkness Ablaze release at a Target in central New Jersey, Pokémon fan Gio Martin (aka "Pokémon Puller") lifted up a display shelf and discovered a 20-year-old booster pack of trading cards from the franchise's very first generation of Pocket Monsters.
