Community Organizer Verification

“After distributing 500+ packs at our neighborhood Halloween event, these were the hit of the night. Kids loved trading the special holographics, and parents appreciated the non-candy alternative that didn’t cause sugar crashes. The glow-in-the-dark feature made it easy to spot lost cards in the dark. We did notice the foil wrappers could be slippery when wearing gloves – we solved this by pre-opening a few packs for younger children. For community leaders looking to upgrade from the same old candy routine, this creates memorable moments while building valuable collections.”
