      The question is if it actually is a card or its just a piece of paper. Cause if it actually is plastic cardboard then it actually can be considered a collectible card.

    Maaaaaaaan. Good childhood memories with Yugioh. My friend and I would pool our money and buy packs at Eckerd's (CVS-like chain of stores that went out of business).
    We learned that bending the packs ever so slightly helped us find the packs with the secret and ultra rares. The more resistance when you bent the pack, the more likely there was a holographic card in there.
    We were eventually banned from that store. Good times
