@HoloAndBroke asks
got a card in a box and it says promo. Is that like a sample version or does it count the same as cards from packs?
Jeff answers
A genuine promo is a real card, distributed through something like a boxed product or an event rather than that set's usual booster packs. It can have its own number, artwork, or stamp. I identify it by its exact promo details before adding it to a collection. It counts as much as you want it to; how it reached you doesn't make it less worth enjoying.
