The kind of cover that draws hands across the trade table before you've even unzipped it
In an announcement on its website, the Pokmon Company said the pack would be the first pack to get a simultaneous worldwide release, "allowing fans across the world to enjoy collecting new cards at the same time." The expansion pack will be unique in other ways as well, as every card in the pack will be a foil card, including the Basic Energy cards
Getting 10 Mega Hyper Rares in a single pack before the set is publicly available means either the pack itself was an extraordinary error, or someone spent an enormous amount of money buying from resellers to accumulate that many cards beforehand, which wouldn't explain a single pack containing all of them.The reseller angle doesn't hold up well either
Other five-drops weren't even worth mentioning
