I don’t mean to be a jerk, but I have a hard time understanding why people get mad when they expect to pull SECRET ILLUSTRATION RARES and they end up not. They are SECRET for a reason right?
SIR means Special Illustration Rare. They're all technically "secret" rares as denoted by the number higher than set count. And people expect them because pulls have been easier this era and collectors would rather pull than pay secondary market prices.
We don’t expect sir I just feel like for $50 you should at least expect at least 1 pull. I’ve opened two 151 etbs and all holos. I feel like I got scammed resealed but no just bad pull rates.
Thought I would answer you. Lots of people including myself double sleeve cards. Most people to make it air tight sleeve the perfect fit upside down and then put a second cover sleeve over it the normal way. Doing it this way prevents dust from entering the card from the top.
@@NiazDokrat i only touch the edges of the card at all times. Many people don't do that as I see constant opening of people putting finger prints on their cards.
@dominickmagoon5731 lol some card i pull out of base set was not very hard but they got value because they got old an price per pack went up not becksue is hard to pull, BS
@CGplay186 correct but that was in the beginning stage of tcg those are long gone when things multiple it needs a harder pull rate with it and time not all things hard to pull are worth it and not all cards hold value. Same reason why reg halos in modern cards arnt worth a dime . U need to remember back then people mostly didnt think it would have a calue
To back up what you said, it seems that ETBs are not giving out many hits at all. That’s personal and what I’ve seen. You can’t find this set anywhere now where I am lol
There is absolutely NO reason the statistical pull rates would be any different from booster pack to booster pack regardless of what bundle it comes with.
I picked up 2 of the 151 etb. my hits were energies, Secret rare Switch, jynx full art and jynx ex regular art. from there I picked up two of the collection binders and my hits included a godpack for blastoise evolution chain + Venusaur ex + energies. I'm enjoying the overall experience plus the illustrations for all of 151 are pretty solid
@@GhostlordGames i opened one of each product. I think about 22 packs and only got one IR and one ex. Ultimately referring to numbers hits, not the value of the cards.
I pulled a Charizard demigod pack, gold Mew and Tangela Illustration Art on my 1st ever 151 booster bundle. Bought another ETB and booster bundle and hit Zapdos Special Illustration Art. Ordered 1 more ETB to open and then im done with this set. Going to buy a Japanese booster box to hold for 5 - 10 years
I'm not sure how long you've been using those perfect fits, but I went back to penny sleeves after those ones starting sticking to my WOTC cards after sitting around for a while. You should check your old ones if you haven't in a bit
Man I don’t know if it’s just my luck but all I pulled out of my first 151 ETB was a kangaskhan EX and a crap ton of holos which is really making me just not want to go for another ETB from this series 😭
I got the Giovanni’s charisma special illustration rare and Erika’s special illustration rare in one of my etb boxes so I was extremely lucky, my first box I opened though was very rough just one ex 🙃
Cool video man, just wanted to give some feedback the focus tracker is a bit jarring. Feels a bit motion sickness with all the movement but thanks for the video
I pre ordered a ultimate premium, and didn’t get any thing good, 1 EX and 3 holo energy’s. So I bought another premium in hopes it was just my luck, and once again got 1 ex and 2 holo energy’s. Over $200 spent on 151, and still haven’t pulled anything worth more than $0.90
Ive bought 3 different ETBs in my hometown from 3 different stores and ive pulled THREE of the same hits. Now I wont buy another 151 ETB because i dont want to have 4 of the same hits,.
I'm one of the upset people that have spent lots of cash buying all kinds of packs to pull anything worth saving for my collection. How can you pull 5 of the same card 4xs famous saying another one 😢. I don't need 5 mime ARS or 5 war turtles I mean come on. Nerf pull rates to shut up the deep pocket guys that move the market. I just want to pull my cards to collect. There's not alot of fun going to ebay to buy singles.
Pulled the gold mew out of the first regular etb out of 4 that I bought and now I'm afraid to open the others. If I pulled one of the top chase cards already I feel like I'll probably just be underwhelmed when I only pull regular stuff from the other 3 lol
I cant wait for an English booster box for 151, I am not paying 65 euros for an ETB just to get 1 illustration rare, cmon thats not a good pull rate vs price rate. Its cheaper to just buy the cards you need online.
A good friend of mine was cool enough to gift me a 151 PC ETB as a late birthday gift. It was pretty meh. Got regular Jynx and Golem exs and a Psyduck IR. The Psyduck was cool but I'm sure when the dust settles from all the pack ripping, that will be one of the most common IRs pulled. Still grateful for my friend gifting it to me. I wouldn't have the stamped Snorlax promo otherwise.
You know I didn't notice it until I watched your video and now notice my hits weren't that great as much as the Binder set. I'm definitely happy with energies because I did get those in the etb. But great video and great pulls keep up the work friend
I only got 2 ex cards from pokemon center the best card is the promo card lol. But it wasn't a good sign when people open a case of etb and only got 1 SIR. The other products are way better. It seem like the booster bundle is the best that's where I see the god packs are.
I dont ever really buy these etb expecting anything, full arts are fine with me, but if i get a sir, cool, ive got quite a few in general, so when they do come, its just an extra good time. This was rough though, ngl.. that second etb. Wow.
I think it's just about luck. I've had a binder collection, zapdos ex box and a alakazam ex box. From those 12 packs I got 3 hits or pulls. A full illustration wartortle and 2 Erica's invitation full illustration. I've seen people got more and I've seen people get less. Sucks that my luck happened to be getting 2 of the same hits out of 3 haha. Also the pokemon centre in the uk has sold out of everything besides the premium collection box and the poster collection
I ordered one 151 Pokemon Center ETB and I got ZERO pulls. Every pack only had a holo and two reverse holos. Out of 11 packs at least one should have a pull. This is easily the worst pull rate set I've ever opened. Shinning Fates and Celebrations had almost guaranteed hits, this is just ridiculously bad.
I just wonder how people manage to be hyped by getting hit by the exact same nostalgia for the 1000th time? OMG guys, its kanto! Look! My favourite Generation! Do you know Charizard? Oh I knew them since I was a child. Huh? Relicanth? That seems to be "new"...nah I dont like it. We could need some Kanto again right guys? Nostalgia can be awesome...but if its spammed compared to other things its just annoying.
You are the only person I’ve ever heard say that 151 sucks… Absolutely terrible opinion. That’s the set that got me (as many others) back into pokemon collecting after being dormant for 20+ years… There’s a reason why it’s the highest selling pokemon set in over a decade.
I don’t mean to be a jerk, but I have a hard time understanding why people get mad when they expect to pull SECRET ILLUSTRATION RARES and they end up not. They are SECRET for a reason right?
Scarlet/Violet era was a lot easier than Sw/Sh up until this set
SIR means Special Illustration Rare. They're all technically "secret" rares as denoted by the number higher than set count.
And people expect them because pulls have been easier this era and collectors would rather pull than pay secondary market prices.
the pull rates are the same you could also get this unlcuky
I pulled the illustration charizard out of a 151 etb
We don’t expect sir I just feel like for $50 you should at least expect at least 1 pull. I’ve opened two 151 etbs and all holos. I feel like I got scammed resealed but no just bad pull rates.
Am I alone in thinking that the stabilization or whatever is going on in this video, is super annoying?
Luke why do you sleeve your cards upside down? Curious here! I've always done it the other way and wonder if I've been doing it wrong!
Thought I would answer you. Lots of people including myself double sleeve cards. Most people to make it air tight sleeve the perfect fit upside down and then put a second cover sleeve over it the normal way. Doing it this way prevents dust from entering the card from the top.
@@KronosSupreme also you dont touch the actual artwork when removing on inserting the cards
@@NiazDokrat i only touch the edges of the card at all times. Many people don't do that as I see constant opening of people putting finger prints on their cards.
I like that pull rates are hard keeps value so that when you pull it feels special
Hollow energy are great so glad I have 30 of them 😢 at least I get something for all that cash not cheep as they was over $5 a pack at lest
the pull rates on this are the highest amoung th sv things bc theres no booster box
@dominickmagoon5731

try targets theyre usually in the front where you pay

Very interesting - those binder collections seem to be hitting!
Haha most def. Was looking for a few more binders however the pricing is all over the place right now . Happy hunting I guess 😂
Difference between regular etb ans poke center one?
Pokémon center ones usually have two extra packs and the Scarlet and Violet ones have a stamped promo card in addition to the regular promo card.
Those were difinitely good boxes sir. I'll take those pulls any day! Do you plan to make a binder video so we can see what your progress is so far?
You'll take $10 worth of value for $80+ spend any day?

I agree Luke. Opened 2 of these from different suppliers and pull rates were abysmal.
Man 😕
I got lucky with my ETB. Had a few good hits but the best hit I got was special illustration rare bulbasaur, ivysaur, and vensaur in the same pack.
God pack
Nice - that was a great box!!
Why not put them in the 151 sleeves that came with the box ETB?
I don’t prefer the ETB sleeves because they have a matte finish and it really mutes the holos.
That snorlax promo card like $3-4 now right?
Man I don’t know if it’s just my luck but all I pulled out of my first 151 ETB was a kangaskhan EX and a crap ton of holos which is really making me just not want to go for another ETB from this series 😭
Like I said, it’s not just you. I’m personally avoiding the ETBs from now on.
@@LegendofLuke really appreciate the insight though man and definitely love the videos!!
17:22 very cool to see Horsea 😂
I got the Giovanni’s charisma special illustration rare and Erika’s special illustration rare in one of my etb boxes so I was extremely lucky, my first box I opened though was very rough just one ex 🙃
That’s a solid redemption box right there!
The etb is too expensive at £50 and 9 packs.
Rather they bin off the junk and just do the extra 1/2 packs
Yeah, the value isn’t quite there for the ETBs imo.
How much do those MewTwos go for I have been trying to get one lol
i was finally lucky with my 1 regular 151 ETB, i was able to get 5 hits 1 being the SIR giovanni's charismas.
Cool video man, just wanted to give some feedback the focus tracker is a bit jarring. Feels a bit motion sickness with all the movement but thanks for the video

@@VapelifeRed ou ok, didnt know that, thats sad, this is my first ever set, want to complete it but it looks bad :(
@@rollercoaster478 I tried also haha instead I just collected a lot of the sealed products from that set
@@VapelifeRed well no shops in my country have 151 ETB or UPC, so yeah this is gonna be impossible without outright buying singles :(
I got my third ETB from my LGS and all I pulled was 5 holo energies😂 that hurt
Ouch. I guess Pokemon company does consider those to be hits(?)
This is brutal lol sorry pal
The only SIRs that I have pulled have been in the etbs. So many Zards…it’s like there is one in every ETB.
The ETBs have blessed you.
Bought an etb my hits gold switch and the promo snorlax these etbs are literally boxes of bulk
I think those old school gallery cards (like that gyarados) are actually secret rares! There are also older gallery cards that are black star promos 😁

Yeah tbh most of my 151 ETBs have been like that.
i got a mew ex double rare
and a ir machoke
super rare ninetales ex too
it was cool
Good box!
I finally pulled 2 back to back Sarzards and i was jumping up and down becuz before that i was ready to pull a CTR on everything
Woah, congrats!!
The only PC ETB (bought for $30 over MSRP) I opened had literally one hit in it. And then the promo I sold on ebay went for way under value 🙃
I got an etb from Walmart and my only hit was a regular arbok ex. Felt pretty bad.
The booster bundle is the way to go, the one with 6 packs!
Your lucky compared to my pokemon center etb. 1 zapdos ex and 3 energy that is it. Someone really screwed up on my box. I'm royally pissed.
Man, that’s just not right 😔
Could u do crown zenith next because I’m not sure on which one to buy please and thank you keep up the good work
I pulled the Erika SAR and the Alakazam SAR from one ETB lol
I pulled a Ninetails EX, Charizard Ex, and Alakazam EX (special illustration) on my ETB, worth.
Wow, that was a great box!
I just pulled the zard god pack from a etb i found at wamart

Yikes 😬

Lol I got 2 holo energy and 1 regular ex 😂😢
Man your pulls are good. Haven’t got much. Hopefully one day.
Yep, all a matter of time!
The upc was the worst thing I’ve ever opened. I will never buy another one ever again.
lol i just got the error box today 8 mothes later wtf and i opend it befor i watch this video
You know what they say about the legend of luke....... nothing
OMG I have so many Aerodactyl's 😂 I really don't want another in my rare spot again.
you can’t really expect a illustration rare..
… I guess not 😳

nice pulls man
