Miscut Perrserker
Tyler and I enjoy collecting Pokémon cards together and one of the cards I collect is Perrserker, the Viking Pokémon. In fact, I’ve collected all the English cards and am well on my way to having all the Japanese cards. Just today I discovered that Perrserker is now in Pokemon Pocket too.
We decided to go to Northfield today as an excuse to get some more driving time for Tyler, and also Tammy loves Content Bookstore there, Tyler and I both like Games n’ Geek, and if I’m in the area it only seems appropriate to stop at Little Joy Coffee for a delicious Flat White.
I had Perrserker on the brain because of this mornings Pocket discovery, and Tyler and I both knew that Games n Geek had a very unique card a few months ago — a miscut Perrserker. They were asking a lot for it back then and I was wondering if they still had it in the case. They did!
I gave the card a close inspection. I’ve never bought a miscut and this one is really cool. These are all 1-of-1 cards so the price is hard to figure out, but I felt good with where they were now. So now in addition to my full collection of Perrserker I have this cool miscut one. I’m debating sending it in to PSA to get it graded — thinking I will.
