I'm pretty sure that MJH just buys damaged products which is why they have a ton of codes for boxes. They also probably get their classic or "chase" packs from people who most likely weigh them. In other words, MJH isn't run by people collecting cards. They would buy whatever is cheaper and in bulk.
From what I’ve been told these are made from damaged boxes from MJs distribution inventory that they already own. Example, a pallet of ETBs falls over, the boxes are damaged but the packs inside are still ok so they repurpose them into these mystery boxes/packs. Retailers like Walgreens are often asked to send back unsold boxes to MJ if they didn’t sell in the time allotted. So it seems they also break down unsold collection boxes to repurpose into mystery boxes as well. Local Card Stores also are able to sell bulk back to MJ and Excel, id imagine that’s how they make the bulk packs.
Yeah from what ive read from people who have contacted them and asked they say they take any damaged products and use the packs for their mystery stuff. If thats true I would say that's pretty much as close to false advertising you can get without getting in trouble. Showing the rare packs on the front like fossil implies they have damaged products sitting around from 20/25 years ago?? Seems like bs to me. Can they have 500,000 mystery boxes and take a 3pack Blister of fossil and throw it against the wall and mix them in so they can show those packs on the front?😂
That would have been wild! I did pull rainbow Pikachu vmax from a lightening pack. Not really a mystery pack but pretty wild for a 3rd party repack product. Link is in the description of this vid.
Always excited to see a video from you! Bad pull luck, but I feel like all of those Evolving Skies packs are a pretty nice consolation prize when you don't hit a chase pack!
Don't buy these... they are never worth it , there are no chase packs. That burning shadows was a "chase pack" which is worth what you pay for one of these.
@user-fq8zg6ow4e we actually pulled two long crimp packs out of the ones that had the gym challenge Sabrina art in the cover of it. We pulled gym heroes AND Team Rocket. In one day. We have our thoughts on this stuff. Yeah it’s been hitting like trash ever since but that one time was enough to keep us going. If it isn’t the oldest vintage I see stuff like phantom forces, furious fists and other sets being put in them. I do believe it’s 1:10 display cases stores get that actually have a “chase pack” it being that x&y stuff and down
Hey kurt glad to see u uploaded hope ur health is geting better. Ur my favorite TH-camr bc u talk and act normal not fake hyper but just a real pokemon fan like us
@@KantoKurt u know we both pulled the gold girtina from crown zenith at the same exact time. I like watching Pokemon opening while i open packs myself and literally at the same time we both pulled the gold girtina ....i know i probably spelled it wrong btw but what are the chances of that haha hope u have a good day
question for you! I’ve been collecting for a while, but want to start buying cards, grading them and selling them! I’m having trouble sourcing/buying good quality cards that might be PSA or CGC 10s! Any tips on where to buy/source cards from?
I buy most of my singles at local shops so I can see them up close. I’d try local first then check out tcgplayer but even if a card is listed as NM or mint it could still not be the same as what psa would grade it so buying online is kinda hard.
Hey man, great videos as always! I know these 3rd party packs are a gamble, but do you think they are tampered with? I know you mentioned that these companies possibly weigh the packs, but I can see where the wrapper looks like it's been resealed at the crimp (worn and discolored) at the top left, especially at 2:55! I've gotten tampered packs before with a Champions Path ETB (clearly were opened and resealed) and looked just like that on the same place of the pack. Hate to see you lose money on scam packs, It's best to stick with the official stuff!
I saw a video on twitter of a Gym Challenge pack pulled from that last round of mystery packs so I'm sure there's some fossil packs in these but no clue how many.
As long as you trust the creator of the video then I I'd assume it's possible. The best luck I've ever had with these packs are guardians rising and burning shadows
Great to have ya back, Kurt!!! Looking good, bro! Hope you feeling good, too. You know what wasn't looking good? The hits in this vid, haha. That was rough, bro. Especially at the price per pack. Completely agree, man. MJ Holding ain't wasting their time weighing packs, resealing packs and such. Look at the killing they make on their mystery product offerings, haha.
Open up some burning shadows and cosmic eclipse for 40k think that would be a great way to ring in that milestone congratulations on everything bud you deserve it keep killing it! Really enjoy your videos and those mystery packs are fun even tho it’s not ideal but always fun in my opinion 💯
@@KantoKurtI agree with the people who talk bad about that company. I’m pretty sure they reseal their packs. Not even weighing them. The packs in north California opened really funny.
Oldest pack I’ve pulled from the Walgreens mystery packs was a Black & White era set. I think the link is in the bio of this vid Not the best product to buy for sure, but I enjoy a risky mystery pack/box now and then.
These are borderline criminal. There are no chase packs. And most are 300% msrp... you cna watch someone open 1000 of these and hit nothing. They definitely weigh the packs too. I know you said they probably don't but they have so many other mystery products that they need hits for. These guys should literally be in prison
Any loose packs are suspect and mostly weighed I don't buy any. Think about it where are they getting the loose packs most ones you see for sell are ones people broke open boosters etc weighed out the hits then the sell all the non hits and idiots are buying them. So yeah why wouldn't some less honest people do that makes pack openings a lot more affordable. Old vintage packs same shit with even more risk it's an almost certainty they have been weighed. Even sleeved booster packs I seen possible to be weighed as well.
Absolutely loved the video... loved the vibe, the energy was calming and easy to chill with... but what I can't understand... is how you could spend over 110 dollars on garbage, pull nothing, and then IMMEDIATELY think "I've GOTTA go back and grab some more".... your attitude towards the quality of product, was dishonest and misleading... you almost made a fan out of me dude, shame... work on respecting your subs and community, the transparency could do nothing but help man.. trust
The transparency is that you can see how bad they are and choose to buy them or not buy them, just like every Pokémon card product. For years I've talked about how much I like mystery boxes because they provides an extra layer of excitement for me.
you are so chill to watch no screaming just some chill openings
thank you!
Welcome back! Saturday morning TH-cam viewing is fun again! 😊

That makes soooo much sense !! I always wondered the possibilities

39.9k!?! Almost close to 40k 😮 I recommend ripping packs from your most favorite set!
loving the set up!!!! glad to see ya back !!
Gotta love that burning shadows “chase” pack… a whole $9… wait how much did they cost? Sounds right for MJ holdings
Those packs should stay sealed , awesome video friend .
I actually pulled the Sylveon Vmax chase from ES from one of these brand mystery packs
Welcome back man, hope you and your health are all better! The community has truly missed you ✌️
Thanks so much Josh! thanks for sticking with the channel for so long, it means a lot!
Literally just saw some of these at my local Walgreens and had to come home and do some research 😅 Glad I didn’t impulsively buy a bunch
Love watching your videos! Glad your back!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much!
I pulled the most expensive rayquaza from evolving skies from these mystery packs
Rough pulls man dang! Welcome back :)
Thanks bro! They always get me with these mystery packs lol.
Nice to see you back man. Mystery packs are great but I never get anything, no magic for me lol
Great to see you back on YT. Congrats on hitting 40k !!!
thanks so much Billy!
Great video and content! Keep up the awesome work!
Cool interesting video. Walgreens mystery packs are tough. Imagine pulling the rainbow Charizard from random burning shadows pack!
That would have been wild! I did pull rainbow Pikachu vmax from a lightening pack. Not really a mystery pack but pretty wild for a 3rd party repack product. Link is in the description of this vid.
Congrats on 40k!! 🎉 Definitely do a milestone video 👏 Glad you’re back ❤
Thank you so much!
Woohoo! Stoked for another vid! Happy to see ya back in action and killing it! Congrats on the 40k!! 🔥😊
Thanks so much Pat!
Always excited to see a video from you! Bad pull luck, but I feel like all of those Evolving Skies packs are a pretty nice consolation prize when you don't hit a chase pack!
There are no chase packs... burning shadows was a chase pack. Worth about the cost of 1. These are criminal
So nice to see you doing more full fledged pack opening videos again! Welcome back my friend! I'm glad you're doing better! 😊
glad to see ure back fav youtuber. missed ur long videos venturing stores for card openings 😆🙌🏽
Thank you that means a lot to me. More store searching videos soon!
can you buy the mystery pack you got from online?
im not sure, but I would guess no.
Great video bro love the mystery packs don’t sell stuff like that in Glasgow 👍🏻
So so so happy to see you posting a video! Been wondering how you’ve been doing. Absolutely love your content please keep it coming! ❤
Thanks Andrew! More vids on the way 😃
Nice video bro!! We’ve been seeing those boxes float around now. Thinking of trying them out.
Don't buy these... they are never worth it , there are no chase packs. That burning shadows was a "chase pack" which is worth what you pay for one of these.

bruh, Silver Tempest individual packs were 11.99 at my walgreens in DFW, Texas. Why are they inflated? the hits are low price too
what! that's crazy. I think around $9 is the most I've seen for a sleeved pack. dfw walgreens needs to chill
i pulled an alt art aerodactyl v from one of those lost origin 3 pack boxes. (mj holdings)
I opened my first pack in a long time what does it mean when a card has 2 rare stars at the bottom?
Evolving skies in that $25 4 pack

No I don't think they weigh packs. I was commenting on how other people think that. I've had great pulls from these in the past.
@@KantoKurt Did you see what I mean about the resealed pack at 2:55? I'm glad you got some hits from them in the past though!
THE LEGEND IS BACK!! hope all has been well brotha, God bless you man. Always fun to watch
Thanks so much bro! You’re the real legend!
Welcome back! 🙂👍 Love your videos! 🫶👍🙂
Thanks Jake!!
Let’s gooo Kurt videos are back!🔥
if they did have a old pack . i bet the cards would be like a 2 or less on the grading system =(
These packs had to have been weighed, there is no way you didn't pull anything.
for sure not weighed, just the way it goes sometimes.
I'm glad you're back
I would just like to know if they really put fossil or the "chase" pack in there and if so how many 😂😂
I saw a video on twitter of a Gym Challenge pack pulled from that last round of mystery packs so I'm sure there's some fossil packs in these but no clue how many.
As long as you trust the creator of the video then I I'd assume it's possible. The best luck I've ever had with these packs are guardians rising and burning shadows
They put 1. 1 out of 10,000
Brutal
Every Walgreens?
Should be. Check in the photo department if the display isn’t put out
Mystery packs are so hype!
Great to have ya back, Kurt!!! Looking good, bro! Hope you feeling good, too.
You know what wasn't looking good? The hits in this vid, haha. That was rough, bro. Especially at the price per pack.

Welcome back Kurt.
Welcome back and wtf how does your Walgreens stock up on these smh???
Welcome back!!
Thanks Pika!

Open up some burning shadows and cosmic eclipse for 40k think that would be a great way to ring in that milestone congratulations on everything bud you deserve it keep killing it! Really enjoy your videos and those mystery packs are fun even tho it’s not ideal but always fun in my opinion 💯
Thank you for doing this
no problem Andrew! thanks for supporting the channel for over a year!!
I got a base set from the fossil mystery packs lol
what!!! that's insane!
Future me did he get a “vintage” pack?
No, oldest was sun and moon
😭
welcome back!
thank you!
Yeah they are definitely weighing the packs
I feel lile either you've been gone or youtube hasnt been showing me your vids!!
Took a little break for some health reasons but I’m back now 😃
Welcome Back Kanto🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Nice Channel 👍👍 keep up
🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
$110??? no thanks but thanks for biting the bullet, appreciate the rip!
$10 per box for these is absolute robbery LOL
Yeah I think 7-8 would be better
@@KantoKurt maybe $10 for at least 2 packs but not one, esp if you're not getting any great early packs
@@KantoKurtI agree with the people who talk bad about that company. I’m pretty sure they reseal their packs. Not even weighing them. The packs in north California opened really funny.
Rough stuff man! Keep going🤘❤️ am I gonna see you again at CP2?
Thanks dude! As of now I wont be attending CP2 but things could change. Its going to be awesome though, I hope everyone has a blast!
These mystery packs have gotten worse 🙁 I remember getting a dragon majesty pack back in 2020
This video made me sub 🙋🏼♂️ Hello
Never seen anyone get anything out of those.
Oldest pack I’ve pulled from the Walgreens mystery packs was a Black & White era set. I think the link is in the bio of this vid
Not the best product to buy for sure, but I enjoy a risky mystery pack/box now and then.
Hello Everyone
What’s up!
@@KantoKurt love the videos.
40k subs ➡️ 400k subs

Shit I just found these myself in my area and grabbed 3 no vintage packs but got a 2012 holo loose card 😅😅😅
MJ holdings suck all the way around, never once have I got anything half decent out of their products
All those Evolving Skies packs and no hits, maybe they really do weigh the packs😭
10 a pack seems awful high with majority being around 4$ mj holdings always knows how to tempt us card degenerates
wb!
Thanks Kat!

Damn those are a rip off like almost everything else in Pokemon
