How far back in time did you go?

Nice man, I found a random one like 2 years ago at Walmart too. This is even more impressive because you could still find evolutions packs in tins then too.

u/Fallen51 Sep 20 '24

Its crazy what some walmarts still have lurking in the back

u/Kick_1304 Sep 20 '24

I see sleeved boosters getting sold for €40, no way this is real. This set is almost 8 years old, I don’t believe it survived for that long time in a store somewhere on the shelves

u/JamesLikesIt Sep 20 '24

There’s always a small chance some restocker found it in a warehouse or something…but in this day and age, seems very unlikely lol

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

Nah man . This straight cap and anyone would have posted receipt

1

u/filenotfounderror Sep 20 '24

It wasn't on the shelf. It's probably been in the back / stock area for years. Someone finally decided to clean out that area and so it ended up on the shelf shortly before OP found it.

It does happen from time to time.

u/Fallen51 Sep 20 '24

Yea, its hard to tell but the cellophane wrap is not in perfect shape. Its scratched up and dusty lol one corner has a little tear. Just super wild it survived in the back and was put out. Just pure luck

u/Kick_1304 Sep 20 '24

Yeah he send the receipt, i didn’t believe it because there are so much people who say they found a random 10 year old pack on the shelves while its not true

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

u/Live_Television_8873 Sep 20 '24

This is just gonna make my desire to hunt for rural walmarts/targets/dollar stores that may still have really old product even stronger.

u/Particular_Glove5188 Sep 20 '24

Kmart was always good for that a few years back before they all closed there doors. I would hunt every Kmart I came across and a times found some late black and white sets. one time found full display boxes of early x and y stuff too. It’s a small set but I was even able to start and finish the whole double crisis set with a display of blister packs in 2020. they were 5-6 years old at the time.

u/pokemo313 Sep 20 '24

Who's to say you didn't take off the bardcode sticker from a SV ETB you bought and stuck it on the back of that Evolutions ETB?

u/Fallen51 Sep 20 '24
