My local card shop finally had surging sparks booster boxes the other day. They had them priced pretty high "$250". I have a bad case of FOMO lol, so i bought two of them. I guess im glad i bought them because the 8th pack in the first booster box i got the Pikachu! Lol i was freaking shaking 😂. I still have that second box but im trying not to open it and just keeping it for the collection.
Wow that's some crazy luck. That box must have been there just for you 😆. I'd say try to hold on to it since you got the big chase but hey I don't live that way 😬. I can't keep stuff sealed to save my life.
I did see someone else's video saying that the average hits you get from a booster box is 12-15. But that latias came un clutch! At least you break even. This is mainly the reason why i am still on the fence about buying my first booster box as well. I just got back into collecting and my current funds could not be allocated to hobbies haha! I'm going to japan with my wife and kid next week, and i'm thinking fo grabbing a 151 booster box in japanese from the pokemon center if i see one. What do you think? Should i go for it?
Yeah i definitely lucked out. Not just with the latias but just with the number of pulls. I've seen others have worse booster boxes. So I'm not sure if I'm going to do that again unless it's a set I'm super in love with. That's so awesome I'm jealous you get to go on that trip. If I had to give my opinion on getting a box there I'd say go for it just because of the experience with your family and if you enjoy the set. If it's just for money purposes I can't really give strong advice one that. I'm just in this for the art and love of pokemon from my childhood. Definitely not an investment bro lol
@@TheRejectHallway yeah, im definitely not an investment bro haha! I just want to try my luck to see if I can get the zard venusaur and blastoise from the box cause buying it is so expensive. for me at least cause I just started collecting again. If i do get one, i'll let you know what happened XD
Well i randomly pulled the zard out of a poster boxes so I'm sure there's a chance for you. It's honestly all just up to crazy luck of the draw which is painful at times. I'm sending you all the positive vibes and look forward to hearing how it goes.
My weird pokemon pick is Exeggcute. I mean there's always one egg that's just done.. and I think that's hilarious and now it's one of my biggest collections eventhough I didn't plan for it. 😂
Haha that's awesome. It's funny how it works out that way. Exeggcute honestly freaks me out. I'm not too surewhy. The way you describe him makes me a little less weirded out though. So maybe I can change my mind someday.
@@TheRejectHallway Thanks its kind of a slow side hope lol im trying to focus on my 151 master set. It has been fun when i can get packs and open with my 4 year old daughter. She is slowly liking pokemon.
Definitely agree. ETBS can be hit or miss for sure. I'm definitely getting to the point where I'm thinking of going mostly the singles route. Definitely haven't given the singles packs much love yet but definitely will try them out.
Mine is the opposite. I have terrible luck with single packs. I only pulled 2 reg EX after 20 packs. I did pull an IR, a full art, and the SIR Pikachu in an ETB, though. 🤷♂️
Nice collection back there! Ripping packs is the best 🎉
Thank you very much 😊 I'm definitely good at ripping packs. Can't seem to keep things sealed yet 😬
My weird pokemon would be Slakoth! Hahahaha especially the full art in this set it’s hilarious 😂😂! Great video!
The whole slakoth line really isn't my jam. I will agree with you though; they nailed it with the card in this set. It's definitely a vibe.

I only need 16 more cards to complete my master set
That's incredible. Congrats 🎉
I just started collecting..ETB'S are garbage.Single packs are the best.I got the 88 dollar milo something or another.cant remember it's name
