I'm not sure when I bought this. I love Pokémon and bought this at first sight, but I haven't used it much, so I'm selling it. It came with 10 pieces, but I've used 2, so there are 8 left. I wear gloves when handling the sponges to take photos or for packaging, so I'm careful not to touch them directly. For packaging reasons, I will take them out of the original bag for shipping. If you need the original bag, I will include it, so please let me know after you purchase it.
