So here’s the story with how I got this card. First and foremost, I’m not into Pokémon. I know of it, I knew how it exploded in the late 90s, early 2000s. Past than. Zilch.

My family and I went on vacation in a quaint North Eastern town that had a Duck Pin bowling alley. (super fun, highly recommend -  like bowling, but small). This alley was owned by a legit “mom & pop. The décor hadn’t been changed since they opened, vinyl seating, muted colors, only serving the basics, nothing fancy, and I was here for it! The quarter vending machine hadn’t been updated either, except maybe a plush claw machine that had some plushies from the last 10 years. Near the counter they had four 1$ Pokémon quarter machines. One was “Japanese”, another “Korean”, and the last two, I forgot. As we -pinned? Bowled? Played, I let my kiddos spend $5 on the machines. Each machine had at least 1 holo per pack of two cards. And that's were we found this guy.

As a disclaimer. I can’t say if it’s ‘real’ or ‘fake’ card. I just know how I got it and I highly doubt the mom and pop from the alley are running a major counterfeiting scheme (though that would make a pretty cool backstory). The cards were handled by me and my kids just enough to look at them, admire the artwork and look them up for a general value. I don’t have special sleeves, I can’t tell you what grade they are, and if you ask me questions, I’ll only know what I see. Past that, I can’t really help. This is also the reason I’m putting it up for auction. I just don’t know about the cards. If you buy it, I’ll carefully mail it how I got it, in the little cardboard folding thing from the machine, in a small box, then in a bubble mailer. please review the photos carefully
