    my single box was $120 on amazon and pulled 7 hits not including regular EXs. pulled a gold psychic energy, alt koraidon, full art koraidon, full art trainer. I've never had so much variety and quantity. one my favorite boxes I've opened just for the pleasant surprises even tho I didn't break even. ill probably open one more just to have more of the alt arts

    @nox5282 Před rokem +1

    The reason it was acceptable to pay 170usd for a box was cause of the great potential of a single card be worth more than the box. I don’t get how people accept Pokémon removing all that value yet keeping the price much higher. Bring back the packs to 3usd then this would be ok. Now they are 6usd.
    Collectibles are not about the money for moneys sake, but anything fun to collect is something not everyone has and that means high price. What is the point of everyone has the same thing.

    Bit late but i opened like 8 boxes over a month and a half, it helped me destress during my last three weeks of last semester, also the chase for the whole gardevoir rare art line and full art miriam which i pulled in my last two boxes. I bought each box at 107 each from amazon so not terribly expensive

    The reason I open packs isn't to sell them or get value from them. It's really to see if I can get a full (basic) set. First box I opened of SV and I nearly got the full 198 set. Just missing a buncha EX cards. If I get Secret Rares that's great, but not chasing them.

    Actually most booster boxes have 2 SIR, It's not rare to get 2 of them. You will most likely only get one if you pull a hyper rare(gold) card but my first booster box I pulled a gold and 2 SIR. Most boxes I've seen(40-50+, I watch too much CZcams)of S&V you either get 2 SIR or 1 SIR and 1 Hyper Rare. Of course there are exceptions but the vast majority of booster boxes work that way and 12 hits is average. 4-6 Double Rare, 2-3, IR, 2-3 Ultra Rare, 1-2 SIR, and no guarantee on getting a hyper rare but if you do you are more likely to get only 1 SIR but can still get 2.

  • @melvanaltena83
    @melvanaltena83 Před rokem +2

    The answer for litterly every set ever both already made and future sets is the same as always. No. The answer is always no at the end of the day it's not even just if u manage to hit the chase card ( most often u simply won't ) but then there is the question of condition which in English is rarely a decent cut/centering and then even if u pull a good condition chase card it doesn't mean u can get the market assigned value and that value assigned is on top of all that very volatile.
    So short answer no it's never worth it value wise. However value isn't the only reason to open booster boxes part of it for me is also the fun of opening packs and seeing all the arts even the common once hench why I usually end up buying a few. Each to their own at the end of the day.
