Hoping to pull out the most desired pieces from the First Edition box of Team Rocket, xQc went to extra lengths to ensure that it happens. He was spot on with his calculations after spending a small fortune on the cards.
He managed to pull one of the rarest Dark Charizard Hologram live on his stream, which is valued to be around $6,000 alone.
