Hi there! I just saw a few accounts on Twitter and Instagram sharing a pictures from a set called Trick or Trade. Maybe it’s a fake, but who knows! Apparently it will have 3 cards per booster pack with reprints from previous expansions, like this Mewtwo finally in holo foil (not holo reverse) with the Pikachu stamp. So… what do you guys think, real or fake? if this is real, do you like the idea?
The thing that makes me feel It could be real it’s the holo pattern for the Mewtwo, it’s so well done, the lightning in the two pictures are different and the holo reacts as such… but its maybe the fourth time this year that they release the same artwork, so… i dont know haha
If it’s real I think it’s a really cool. It would be nice if they did an entire set focused on Ghost and/or poison type Pokémon. Similar to phantom forces but maybe more focused on Halloween themes and smaller in size.
I could definitely see it being a cereal box insert. But they usually have that extra clear plastic wrap around those packs right? The pumpkin Pikachu logo is cool. The look of Gengar on the pack art is the main thing that looks “fake-ish” to me. But maybe they wanted him to look less scary for younger kids.
Yeah the cereal box product makes sense. Just like the General Mills. My biggest complaint is the damn logo once again. Makes the card look branded and takes away from the art.
I have a special sort of love for stamped promo cards (and just stamped cards in general), and the pumpkin pikachu is adorable.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they were real, but I wouldn’t necessarily be surprised if they were fake either. That being said, if they’re fakes, they’re pretty good ones at that. The pack art looks a little more cartoony than the usual, but it’s similar to other promotional packs (first partner, McDonald’s promos, black/white samples, etc), so not unbelievable. Only time will tell I suppose!
