Getting off the topic of weather for a second, I saw/bought something at my local Shopko today. Let me set the scenery, it was a crisp winter morning, and I was out getting some medicine for my flu ( we really don't have any pharmacies close to me
).
I decided to roam in the trading cards isle for old times sake, and I looked in the "One pack for one buck box". Mostly Toy Story sticker packs and 2008 baseball cards, but I found something that caught my eye. A japanese pack of Pokemon cards, what's this? Naturally, after I got the medicine, I went back to the trading card isle to buy the cards ( I really bought them to make sure I wasn't hallucinating from my fever). They were legit, and I even got one of those shiny/ holographic cards. This whole experience brought one question to mind, though. WHAT IS A JAPENESE PACK OF POKEMON CARDS FROM THE MID TO LATE NINETES DOING IN A SHOPKO IN THE MIDDLE OF WISCONSIN?
