In conclusion, I believe the above documented box of the Pokémon Trading Figures to be concrete evidence that there are systematic problems in the distribution of the Pokémon Trading Figures within the two-figure booster packs. While there may be no problems in the overall distribution of figure rarities, the likelihood of anyone finding identical figures in boosters purchased is unacceptably high to the point where trading of figures between friends and people at leagues will likely be hampered. These people probably would have purchased them from the same store and the same stock of boosters. No doubt this will lead to those who find themselves on virtual gold mines of rare figures (see the example in the postscript) purchasing large quantities of boosters, allowing them to control trade and on-selling of individual figures at a level totally beyond what we've ever seen for the Pokémon TCG.
