Remains of a collection from the past (2008-2009)

2008-2009 era (late D&P and Platinum)
Here you can see the remains of a Pokemon TCG collection from the past, which has been slowly sold out across Europe in the years 2017-2019. The cards and booster packs shown are from the personal possession of the Pokémon TCG distributor for the Galeria Kaufhof and Karstadt chain of stores in Germany. Because of low popularity of the Pokemon TCG, people moving to competitive Yu-Gi-Oh TCG and consequently unsold stock around the year 2009, the distributor decided to just crack open a lot of POP series booster packs, blisters, box sets etc. from that same era. Around the year 2017 the same distributor has sold over 1000 POP series 5 booster packs to a Scandinavian group of collectors for around 5€/each etc… :smiley:
P.S. Some card quantities were impossible to be shown in one picture (from near)

Supreme Victors mixed decks, still in the distributor’s original packaging incl codes and magnets.




Many, many Arceus Lv.X DP53 (from the green tin), was unable to get them all in one picture.

and, and, and…

Imagine, that it is only what is left of the once huge collection of sealed and opened product and imagine having these cards still in their original packaging… In Slovenia we have a saying: “A pig can only dream of corn”

Nevertheless, first time I have come across across such a wast position of 2008-2009 promos (with the theme decks and other varia not shown, weight was at around 60lbs) from one person and here it is, just to be archived on this forum.

Hope you enjoyed the read and hear you in a bit :slight_smile:
All the best from Slovenia(EU)
