Last night TPCi sponsored a basketball game between the LA Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers. It was held at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena as part of its third annual “Rain City Showcase,” which pits the two teams against each other ahead of the NBA season.
Every attendant received a stamped Pikachu promo inside a Tera Charizard sleeve.
Exclusive merchandise was also sold at the event, including hats and pins.
The Rain City Showcase is a yearly NBA event. Thus, the...
Except the nature of it being unannounced means you are still dealing with scalpers if you need the card for your collection and were not at the event. As a Pikachu collector, I have no choice but to pay scalper prices if I don’t want a hole in my collection. It goes both ways.
anyone who went got an anecdote as to how they got the card??

Scalper spotted
Let me guess, you're not keeping any of them.
If you guys actually paid attention to the junk he’s been saying in the comments section of each article you’d know that he’s one of those shameless “investors” that the TCG community just can’t seem to shake off unless he takes a serious loss in revenue or people find out his actual identity (like those idiots bragging about about cleaning out their local Costcos of their Zapdos ex/Alakazam ex combo boxes, people on Twitter quickly found out that it was a local TCG shop doing that kind of shameful behavior).

I can’t tell if this is genuine response or straight-up trolling but you can buy the Tera Charizard sleeves online or buy the Charizard ex Premium Collection they’re included in.
