The Pokémon TCG Trick Or Trade BOOster Packs Product Hits Shelves

The Pokémon TCG is celebrating multiple holidays today. On the same day that they are releasing the winter-themed Holiday Calendar Box, they're also releasing the Pokémon TCG Trick or Trade BOOster Packs. This $14.99 bundle will include 40 mini booster packs featuring cards from previous sets stamped with a Pikachu Pumpkin. This is intended as a means to give children low-cost packs on Halloween. The cards are all reprints from previous sets, and they retain their set numbering, meaning that the only thing exclusive about them is their Pikachu Pumpkin stamp. These can be found at game stores but also widely at big box retailers.
