Okay okay okay so like everybody knows, I have a major boner for collecting Pokémon cards. I've been doing it for years, it's always been kind of a hobby for me, my binder is seriously like 20lbs of just fucking cards everywhere and I'm super obsessive about organizing them by shininess, color order (Fire, Electric, Grass, Water, Psychic, Fighting, Colorless, Steel, Dark, Dragon) and then alphabetically and... Anyway. ANYWAY.

So basically, the last time I got booster packs was from the boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Because he's awesome, and he knows that the way to my heart-- and apparently to my vagina-- is paved with Pokémon cards. So he got me eight boosters from the newest set (Plasma Storm), and I pulled a Victini-EX, Lugia-EX, and the Victory Piece. So I was SUPER AMAZED that I pulled what was, to me, a badass haul.

Now, fast-forward to today. Dave and I are still pretty amazed with the rather awesome haul I've been getting with cards lately, having pulled those Pokémon cards on Valentine's Day and then having pulled a few rare and super-valuable YuGiOh! cards a couple of weeks prior (that I actually decided to sell because lol@YGO, Pokémon is better, yadda-yadda).

Anyway, so I'd misread my work schedule and turned up to the shop at 10AM, only to find out that I wasn't working until 2. So I had four hours to kill. The Village mall is boring as damn most days, so I decided to say shag it and hop the bus over to the Avalon. Wandered around the Avalon mall for a bit, got bored, left and walked to Toys R Us to derp around because I was kinda feelin' the urge to pick up some new Pokémon cards.

So I get there, pick up like six Plasma Storm boosters, and I'm kind of feeling a little wary; that's like $30, and I suddenly wasn't feeling too confident; like I was just gonna get a bunch of doubles of shit I already had, and didn't particularly want, and that it was just going to be a waste of money.

I sigh, bite my tongue, and go to the cash. The things a collector will do, right?

Anyway, so I pay, grab the bag, and make my way back to the mall to grab some food and sit down in the food court. I'm texting Dave while he's at work, just kinda like "Augh yeah I bought new cards, Idk how to feel about this"

Two packs in, nothing good. I've got almost all of the cards in these two packs already, so I'm already starting to get a little bummed out and antsy.

And then the third pack happens.

Motherfucking Full Art Lugia-EX.

So I'm freaking out and texting Dave, who is at work and freaking out right back, and any regrets I had about buying the packs is immediately out the window. Only halfway through and I've pretty much made back what I spent on it.

Next two packs, nothing really special, again it's a lot of things I already had, and things I wasn't particularly interested in, but it doesn't bother me too much.

Third pack. I'm skirting through, and then I catch a gold border.

I'm like, holy fucking shit. There is no goddamn way.

Bam. Charizard.

I am FLOODING Dave with texts over this, and he's spamming me back, and I'm like oh my god, what the fuck, I just got like two cards worth $100 combined, my luck is awesome, I AM A POKÉMON GODDESS.

And then I calm down, take the bus back to the Village, and go to work.

Tonight, I get home. I'm super pumped, so I go to the Newfoundland Pokémon Trainers group page on Facebook and post a photo of my two cards, basically just to show off.

But then somebody notices something that I hadn't even realized-- the Charizard card that I have, is a misprint.#Trivia)

Soooooooo that bumped the value of this card from about $60 to, like, anywhere between $70 and $90.

THIS DAY JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AAAAAAAAAHHHHH.

I keep freaking out at Dave about it and he's like, fucking speechless.

Our most recent texts about this:

Me: "THIS KEEPS GETTING BETTER. I posted pics of the cards to the Pokémon group and somebody pointed out that my Charizard is actually a misprint."

Me: "I. AM. THE GREATEST."

Dave: "This is actually crazy at this point."

Me: "I kinda wanna dance right now."

Me: "Naked."

Me: "While rubbing these cards all over me."

Me: "... I mean. Uhm."

Me: "... Yeah I don't actually have a save for that."

Dave: "You are a beautiful human being. You know that, right? XD"

So uhhh yeah I just kinda wanted to squeal about this more because I literally have not stopped bouncing around about this all day and it just keeps getting better and better

Now I need to get these babies in my damn binder.
