Anyone else noticing print quality issues with Destined Rivals?

During my ongoing Team Rocket Mewtwo hunt, I’ve pulled several hits with whitening, print lines, and edge damage straight out of the pack.

Curious if this is a known issue or just bad luck on my side.

What’s your experience so far?

Hey Guys! I’ve been testing a new format: 9-second pack opening Shorts 👀

Quick question for you:
Do you prefer seeing only the hits…
or do you enjoy even when there’s no big pull?

Let me know in the comments — your feedback really helps! 🙏

Earlier this week, I shared a Short about a really unique Pokémon card 👀
I’ve just published a full-length video that goes much deeper into the story behind the 2000 Danone Pokémon promo cards in Canada — including the printing error and why some of these cards became true collector grails.

If the Short caught your attention, the full story is now live on the channel 🔥

Let me know in the comments: did you already know about these Danone promos?

Did you know this Suicune exclusive promo card has two different stamped versions? 👀

🇨🇦 One was an EB Games exclusive in Canada
🇺🇸 The other a GameStop exclusive in the U.S.

Fun fact: when sealed, both originally came with an insert card saying:
👉 “Promotional material, not for sale.”

Let me know if you got any of those!

Did you know that Giratina’s first English TCG Pokémon card (2008) exists in three different versions?


Holo, reverse holo, and a Platinum-stamped reverse from a Burger King promotion 🍔✨

Same Pokémon, same card, just a different holo pattern.



👉 Which version would you pick for your collection?

📢 Ancient Mew: more than one version!

I just posted a Short about Ancient Mew, but did you know there are multiple variations of this iconic promo card? 👀

Here are some variations that collectors look for:

✨ Japanese version – No Wizards of the Coast logo, original release in Japan
✨ English version – Has the Wizards of the Coast logo at the bottom
✨ Print variations – Subtle differences in text sharpness, color tone, and holo intensity
✨ Packaging differences – Some were distributed sealed, others opened later, affecting condition

📌 Because of how they were handed out during Pokémon: The Movie 2000, condition varies a lot, which makes high-grade copies especially desirable.

👉 Which Ancient Mew version do you collect—or want to own?

🔥INSANE Mewtwo Card 🔥

Here’s a Mewtwo Danone 2000 — PSA 9 with a Missing Foil error 😱
Not just a card… but a real piece of Pokémon history.

For those who don’t know:
The Pokémon Danone cards were distributed in Canada around 2000 through Danone products (Yogourts) to prompte Pokemon Stadium and some Mewtwo copies came with printing errors that are now hard to find.

The Missing Foil makes this Mewtwo even more special.

Did you know those cards existed? They originaly came on a sealed plastic.
