Astral Radiance Weighed Results - This time... HEAVY are hits! Weighing math breakdown

  • Astral Radiance is the 10th expansion in Sword and Shield era. In my previous video, we saw that HEAVY packs contain black bordered code cards and contain a holo or better in the rare spot. In the previous set, Brilliant Stars, the hits were found in LIGHT packs. But this time they broke it again. In this video, we reverse engineer the pack weights to find why this is happening and what can be done by the Pokemon Company International to fix the weighing problem. Normal pack range: 22 grams. Astral Radiance 21 grams
    TLDR: Heavy packs for this set contain the hits because uncommon/rares use a different card stock and weigh a lot less than normal.

      @@ctrlaltQQ I just opened a booster box. Verified that my scale was weighing in accordance with your scale. It was. Ranges for each card type matched, with perhaps only a 0.01g difference in the average weight. I opened the heaviest pack (21.60) it had a black code card, Trainer Gallery card, and a VStar. Opened a second pack weighing 21.36. My expectation was a white code card and a TG, but it was black with a holo and a radiant card. Which was also one of the predictions. So, yes the packs are definitely weighable! I have 21 packs 21.20g and less. I know that they are all duds. Won’t be opening them! Thanks again for all of your hard work and for making your information public. People need to know not to buy single packs from anyone!

    such excellent videos and explanation. I have 200 AR packs I will be weighing tomorrow, I have already weighed and got full hits on lost origins, Fusion strike and Silver tempest was pretty simple too.

    There's different weighted black cards this time. On a double banger the black card is super thin. You can feel it blindly since it has little resistance to flexing

    Just weighed a bunch of packs and noticed the heavy ones had hits… didn’t even bother opening the light ones. Then wanted to come find you again and see what you thought. Glad you made this video!

    • @ctrlaltQQ

      Did yours also have weird uncommons and rares?

    • @pokescientist
      @pokescientist Před 2 lety

      I opened 5 packs and left the lightest one unopened. The four midrange ones were either trainer gallery or holo rare and the heaviest was typhlosian v star… didn’t want to open the lightest pack. I didn’t weigh the individual cards themselves though. Watching your video I’ll have to do that.

    I just weighed around 30 packs, uncommons were same as yours but the rares were ”normal” weight around 1,84 grams. European packs.

      And to add, for some reason 2 of the rares were 1,52 grams like yours but the rest were 1,82 grams. Really weird.

      if it follows 21g range and not 22g, I'm guessing yes. I didnt open any 3 pack blisters to test myself

    @ethanjones6799 Před 2 lety

    Very nice logical video. Do you still believe this? I was weighing cards for a similar analysis and noticed that the mix of cards seems random. Some common cards have their typical weight and other times are light. Black and white code cards are mixed and do not indicate if a pack has a hit. I got a double hit in a middle weight pack where EVERY card was 1.59 grams except the V TG code card and energy. Seems like Pokemon is trying to keep us guessing
