Pokémon Base Set 2 Case Break!

This year, we are expanding our catalog to cover the entire Pokémon Card series! To kick this off, we will be performing a “Case Break” with a factory sealed Base Set 2 Booster Box! These booster boxes were sold back in the day with 36 Booster Packs inside. That means that every pack is still factory sealed and could contain some very valuable cards! Base Set 2 contains iconic Holographic Pokémon like Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur! When graded with a condition score of “10”, some of these cards can be worth thousands of dollars!

You can reserve your packs now for $299.99 with the “Buy A Pack” button below. Pre-Orders will be limited to 4 packs per customer. Any remaining packs on the day of the event will have no purchase limit, even if you have already bought 4. Every pack you buy will earn you 2 entries into the Switch 2 Console Giveaway! Details about that in the next section below.

Packs will be chosen by the buyer in purchase order on June 6th starting at 6:00 PM. The event will be open to the public and also streamed online. After choosing a pack, we will weigh it to see if it is considered “light” or “heavy”. For those that are unfamiliar, pack weighing is a strategy to try and learn if an individual pack contains a Holographic card. While it is not an exact science, heavier packs have a higher chance of containing a Holo. After weighing, pack opening will be up to the buyer. If you decide to have your packed open, we will all share in the excitement as we go through every card finishing with the potential Holo!

Nintendo Switch 2 Console Giveaway!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is launching on June 5th and the demand for the systems is sky high! We are excited to giveaway a brand new Mario Kart World Switch 2 Console Bundle on June 6th! There are 3 ways to gain entries:

  2. Spend $149.99 on anything else in-store at the Anniversary Event Friday June 6th.

  3. Bring a trade-in to the store and receive $150 in-store credit at the Anniversary Event Friday June 6th. You will keep your store credit whether you win the giveaway or not. This method cannot stack entries if credit is used to purchase Booster Packs.

Booster Packs are available for pre-purchase now and each purchase will earn you a giveaway entry. There is no limit to how many entries you can earn so get creative and earn your spot!
