You’re a brave dude opening up those packs worth thousands. I don’t even bother buying heavy packs anymore because prices are too crazy and mainly because of two reasons below: 1. You never know if the hits like Dark Charizard were already pulled from that box. There can be more than one, but the chance of that is very unlikely. If these packs come from the same seller that sold you the packs containing the secret Dark Raichu, then for sure you won’t get that unless the seller is selling heavies from several different boxes. 2. Vintage cards are tough to grade. I sent in 6 1st edition Fossil holos from heavy packs I pulled myself and got one gem mint grade. I suspect PSA is controlling vintage cards’ population and grading them much tougher than three-four years ago when those cards weren’t worth much. I’ve definitely seen older graded gem mint Fossils with worse corners and edges than the 6 I sent in. Fortunately for me I paid $170ish for my heavy packs in 2019 and the one PSA 10 I did get more than made up for that in today’s market. I would love to see your PSA, Beckett, or CGC returns if you intend to grade them.
I found a 1st edition team rock pack that weighs 21.44g. Is this too high? I found another but not a 1st Edition that weighs 21.32g. Would this have a holo?
I would think if it as the heavier the pack the more likely to be Holo and the lighter the pack the less likely. I’ve found 1st edition team rocket can be the hardest to work with. I’ve seen holos come out of packs lighter and non holos come out of packs heavier, so there are counter examples in this set.

Team rocket Pokémon cards are freaking awesome! The artwork on them is bad ass. Huge fan of them all.

For real
I first booster box as kid was 1st edition team rocket
Do you know if the weights are similar for unlimited rocket?
I found a 1st edition team rock pack that weighs 21.44g. Is this too high?
I found another but not a 1st Edition that weighs 21.32g. Would this have a holo?
What do you think is a acceptable price for psa 10 graded boosters?
I'm not sure. I haven't graded any of these packs or bought or sold them graded. eBay sold listings or PSA provides pricing.
@@artalertstv Allright thank you :) you do a great job in your channel :) go forward 👍
So a 20.86 would be a light pack?
I would think if it as the heavier the pack the more likely to be Holo and the lighter the pack the less likely. I’ve found 1st edition team rocket can be the hardest to work with.
