Baby was born healthy a couple of weeks ago 
It’s hard to even find 30 minutes in the day to myself these days, but i did recently find the time to celebrate and go ahead and open - I went with the Fossil pack.
Cons
No holo
No smell (anyone else remember cards back in the day had a particular smell? The smell was long gone on these)
Pros
Opened the pack clean as a whistle so will hold onto it for some kind of display.
Got to really appreciate some cards that I’ve just glanced over 1000 times before -
Mr. Fuji, absolutely elite Sugimori art
Tentacool and Tentacruel, entire evolution line illustrated by Himemo and both using some kind of attack in their art. You ever realize that for a franchise about battling monsters, how unbelievably rare it is for them to actually be battling or attacking in their card art?
Zubat, love cards with multiple Pokémon on them and this must be one of the first examples.
I plan to grade the Haunter and Mr. Fuji as momentos and will also replace the cards in my Fossil binder set with these ones that I pulled myself. Tbh would not recommend at current prices, but for the $20 or w/e I was in on this pack, it was a good time
