Mckenna Grace surprised everyone at the Oscars by bringing Pokémon cards and becoming the first person to open a pack right there during the show.

At the event, McKenna Grace surprised everyone by admitting she had Pokemon cards hidden in her pockets. She planned to give them to other celebrities there, including her friend and former co-star, Mason Thames.

Grace, who’s popular for her acting in movies like Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, as well as her singing career, shared her plans with reporters on the red carpet before the event.

Okay, so I’m a huge Pokemon card collector, and I had this crazy idea! I’m trying to get permission to be the very first person to open a pack of Pokemon cards at the Oscars! I was showing off five booster packs I’ve got, hoping it’ll help convince them. It would be amazing!

She wasn’t just prepared with her bags; she also had card sleeves tucked into her pockets, ready to protect any valuable cards as soon as they were drawn.

She actually got a really good Pokémon card and showed it off on her Instagram stories. She and some other collectors nearby were lucky enough to pull a special, full-art Clefairy ex card, which can be worth anywhere from $75 to $150 depending on its condition.

If Grace were to sell the card, she could probably get a good price for it, particularly since it’s one of the first Pokemon packs opened at the Oscars.
