The Amateur Collector here!
Today I have not one but two checklane blister packs to open from the Flashfire series. Both packs come with a booster pack, a coin and an exclusive promo card; a Skiddo and a Honedge.
Individually they cost me £3.45 from Card Team.
If you look at the picture bellow you will see that one of the blister packs (and the promo card within it) got damaged. I am not sure when this occurred. I very much doubt Card Team would send out damaged goods, so I believe it got damaged either during transport (curse you Royal Mail!), by being forcefully shoved through the letter box (curse you again Royal Mail!!) and/or by being badly stored by those to which the package was delivered to (I was abroad when this package was delivered).
Well whatever happened, it means I'm going to have to purchase myself another copy of the damaged card (the Honedge). Thankfully, it does not seem to be expensive to buy individually at all.
Anyways, as usual click here to check out the video or scroll down to view the pulls I got.
It might not be immediately evident, but the blister pack on the right hand side is quite bent on the bottom left. This sadly also affected the promo card inside.
Two awesome coins. My favourite of the two has to be Chespin. Not necessarily just because Chespin is my favourite of the Kalos starters, but also because this green reflective colour goes very well with the coin and image.
Promo card XY11 Skiddo!
This image does not do justice to just how sparkly that holofoil is!
My damaged Honedge, Black Star Promo XY12
As you can see, this card has been bent quite severely bent at the bottom =(
And these are the rare cards I pulled from both blister packs. A Snorlax and a Durant.
Again, I am disappointed that the promo card was damaged, especially since they are the main reason I purchase these kind of blister packs in the first place, but I am lucky that it does not cost much to buy separately.
Well, not the most amazing of openings. But I can garantee you that the next adventure will be epic ;)
Stay tuned to see exactly how epic it is!
