I can't believe that there are people who think that I'm making this all up. I created this thread because I was excited to find these cards for these ridiculously cheap prices, not because I wanted to "look cool" or pull everyone's leg...what could I possibly gain for making all of this up?
The store I bought these cards from is a really small store that sells mostly sports memorabilia and collectibles with some TCG/CCG stuff as well. I'm under the impression that he doesn't know the current metagame and is selling cards based on what he thinks is "popular." For example, he was selling Charizard from Secret Wonders for $10...possibly because he thought Charizard was still popular (like it was when the TCG first started). Also, all of his Lv. X cards were around $3 (none higher than $5) and the rares (regardless whether they were holo, shiny, old, new, etc.) were all between $0.50 and $1.50. After seeing this I thought perhaps he had no idea about the metagame and just sold cards based on his own prices.
