>>53123508 (previous thread)I did open Neo discovery packs, and Shinings were somewhat common.
I was even at a WotC event in 2002 where Neo Destiny was the set being used and given out, so there were tons of packs floating around in a concentrated space. People didn't consider the Shinings playable, and they were somewhat common, so you could trade for them relatively cheaply. I remember getting all but the Raichu that same day. Chasing it with my pay at the time (living at home with folks then) let me get a couple more of the Kabutops, and a second Celebi.
Unfortunately, pic related are the only ones I have left. I had to let go of the others during an unemployment stint recently. Got pretty jewed on them too, IMO, but I needed the cash to keep going. Wish I could've kept a Celebi, but no luck.
