Discovering Pokemon cards in unexpected places is always exciting. Recently, a collector came across a vintage card in a most unusual location – an abandoned school bus.
Have you ever come across a Pokemon card in its natural habitat? It’s always odd to see one lying on a table or getting stepped on, having fallen out of someone’s bag.
In certain instances, it is feasible to salvage a card that has been abandoned and mend it to a certain extent. Minor creases and imperfections can be remedied. However, this task may prove to be more challenging than expected. In a situation where a card has been dropped on a bustling street, it is highly unlikely that it can be recovered.
A Pokemon TCG collector recently shared a discovery on Reddit of a Base Set 2 Weedle card that they found in an unexpected location, among other fans online. They mentioned pulling it from the “depths of a 2001 school bus”. Despite its worn condition, the Weedle card is still an impressive find.

Despite some initial confusion, many other fans expressed excitement over this unusual finding. One person even playfully suggested that the original poster continue searching as they were sure to uncover even more treasures, like the elusive Charizard. Additionally, there were multiple calls for OP to have the card professionally assessed, with one individual adamantly claiming it to be in “near mint”condition.
Despite not being an incredibly rare card, the Weedle artwork from the older sets is still a valuable addition to any collector’s collection. The common cards from Base Set and Base Set 2 may not receive as much recognition, but they possess a unique charm and character.
It is fascinating to consider which Pokemon cards from present-day collections could potentially resurface for enthusiasts later on, in an unexpected moment. One never knows – perhaps in 2050, someone will be renovating a bus and come across a Sunkern card from the Twilight Masquerade set.
