12 card jungle pack?

General

So this was me/my pack, but I had never seen a 12 card pack before (+ the upside down Meowth was weird). How common is this?

Gave my dad a call (He owned a hobby shop and did mass box openings back in the late 90’s / Early 2000s and he said if he remembers correctly this didnt happen often but jungle was the most common set for this to happen as it had some of the worst quality control, he said if he had to guess it was maybe 1 in 200 packs for jungle and 1 in 1000 for other wotc sets

Woah shit, imagine paying a fat premium for a 1st ed. Base Heavy pack, only to find an upside down Weedle staring you right in the eye upon opening.

lmao can you imagine? and trying to explain to seller, “I KNOW IT WAS SUPER HEAVY BUT THERE WERE ONLY COMMONS!”

I’ve definitely seen this happen before, but it’s been a while since I last saw a pack opening on Youtube with this error. I can’t remember who opened it though and it’s going to drive me nuts.

I’ve opened around 150 packs of jungle 1st ed, and I don’t remember having a pack like that. And a Vaporeon at that! Awesome.

it was the second one in the box too, and had a kangaskhan on top of it (and only opened ~60-70% of the packs). It was a crazy one

That is really exciting. But it would have sucked if there had been no holo in it. “Man, this pack is heavy, guaranteed holo… wait… an upside Meowth? Crap…”

Here it is. This is in the running for one of the best WOTC pack openings I’ve ever seen. Not only did the pack have an extra card that complimented the water theme but it was a double error pack, containing a No Symbol Vaporeon that ended up grading a 10.

Wow, this is really incredible. The error cards grading 10 are like a dream.
