Some crazes last for a few months, others for a few years, but almost 24 years after the first Pokemon<\/em> Trading Card Game (TCG)<\/em><\/strong> hit the market, the series is still incredibly popular with gamers and collectors<\/a>. Which is why the discovery of a twenty-year old unopened\u00a0booster pack is making such waves online.<\/p>\n

Collector Gio Martin, who goes by the YouTube name Pokemon Puller, discovered the pack sitting underneath\u00a0a shelf at Target, where it\u00a0is likely to have sat for almost two decades alongside plenty of dirt and rust. The booster pack was from a combined reprint of the original set and Jungle expansion, which was known as Pokemon<\/em><\/a> TCG Base Set 2 and published in early 2000.<\/p>\n

Gio filmed the moment of discovery, and later joined Pokemon<\/em> YouTuber Lee “Lionheart” Seinfeld to discuss the find,\u00a0followed by a live\u00a0opening of the pack. Sadly the set did not contain any rare holographic cards, but the sheer excitement of such an old booster pack was a rare find in itself. With prices continuing to rise for rare and original series cards<\/a>, it is no surprise that collectors are keen to search for the long-lost packs in as many places as possible.<\/p>\n
