(Seems it was not true. These two events were held at different dates in March 2008 so at least one was held entirely if we imagine bomb threats happened during the second one.) |

The unlimited World Champions Pack is one of the rarest Japanese booster packs. It was created as a reprint and was only available for sale during Spring Battle Road 2008. Information about the release of the unlimited World Champions Pack is extremely hard to find. An archived page of the official Pokémon TCG website mentions the end of a limited sale on May 16, 2008<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080516051301/http://www.pokemon-card.com/products/wcp/campaign/</ref> which would coincide with Spring Battle Road 2008. Some Japanese websites mention a sale of World Champions Packs during Spring Battle Road 2008<ref>https://pokeboon.com/jp/promo_event/battle-road-spring-2008/</ref><ref>https://game14.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/tcg/1206333550/652</ref>. It is believed that the unlimited World Champions Packs were only available for sale for the competitors. Unfortunately Battle Road Spring 2008 was cancelled due to bomb threats so three out of the five event venues were cancelled <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080413053315/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/attention/at20080409_01.html</ref>. This explains the rarity of the unlimited World Champions Pack, making it one of the rarest Japanese sets. It is only overshadowed by the unlimited edition Japanese cards of the {{TCG|Base Expansion Pack}} set, of which some cards were given through lotteries. Unlimited World Champions Pack cards are thus extremely rare which make some of them, like the Gold Stars; very expensive. | |||
