Here’s my best/most valuable card.
Back in late 1998/early 1999 one of those magazines — Inquest, Duelist, Scrye, Wizard, Toy Fair, etc etc — gave away a free promotional booster pack of first edition Pokémon base set to promote the upcoming game.
This is what I pulled from the free pack that came with the magazine. Since it was foil it went right into a penny sleeve and toploader. Since it turned out to be crap for play, it never went into any deck. It just sat for 25 years.
Eventually when it went up to like $300 I put it into a screw down case that could fit it in the penny sleeve and that’s how it’s been.
