I was at Walgreens and they had two decks for the new Expedition{which just started to invade Wal-Mart and other stores and gas stations I visited this past week} and I saw on the back 61 cards than 60. What, they don't inclued a holo in the deck or not? I mean since there are 2 holos in each pack. I'm totally lost. Could someone explain it to me?

each one comes with a 60 card deck that contains 3 nonholo rares.
ALSO included, is one random reverse holo card, giving you a total of 61, and your one holo card of the lot...

I purchased a theme deck, and it did have 61 cards, if you're collecting the set, I suggest the Echo, since is has the energies from the set. My deck came with a Rev Holo 40 HP Squirtle [Dubious]

Yes Echo has 2 of each of the Basic energy cards so i had to buy 2 of them for the boys' sets. Unfortunately these would've been a Theme deck challenge dream as the RH in one deck was an Alakazam and the RH in the other was a Clefable!! After replacing the Expedition Basic energy cards with other Basic Energy cards, it did really well in battle of the theme decks.

The last two expansions...Legendary Collection, and Expedition...had 61 cards in their theme decks because they included a random reverse-holo card in each box. The reverse holo does not necessarily "fit in" to the deck, since it is random; you are not meant to play a 61-card deck when you buy the precons from these expansions. It's just an extra little "bonus".

Hope this helps...

Oh, now I get it. Thanks, 'Mom. So when Christmas comes, I'll know if I get one of those decks, I'll get a special suprise.

uhhh....btw only 1 out of three booster packs has a rare, holo, and a RH...as for me my first pack had that nice combo...my second pack sucked...but thats probably all the packs i will get

and i thought the base set starter deck with the machamp holo also had 61 cards...so why are we going crazy over 1 more added card to the deck? =/
