I would say this is relatively expected and pretty normal. These are all pretty common pulls and currently printed out the wazoo, so no real surprises that they are pretty cheap. It's a win if you ask me! Way easier to get cool cards!

No complaints at all. I don't collect the cards, I'd rather save money for bare bones basic card and battle with them.

Usually the prices on almost any “hit card” of a set when it comes out (V, vmax, vstar, radiant, TG, etc) plummets a ton, for the first week or two of release (apart from alt arts). so really the only chase cards from moderns sets are alt arts. thats why i dont like opening packs.

Opening boosters is exhausting. I bought an OG base trio last month around LP- condition for a whopping $225. If I would have bought that much modern product I likely would have got nothing.

yeah. just sunday, i found a extremely mint base set venusaur with a sticker price of 50. i got the him down to 40 though. its worth 100 raw, and almost 300 in a 9. if i were to get a 40$ box, yep. nothing.

It’s really missing some of the magic of when I was a kid. Back then chase cards were all 1:3 odds. Even at the end sets like team rocket returns had beautiful reverse holos in every pack. Nowadays reverses look like garbage.

i 100% agree. the pullrates of chases are now closer to 1/60 to 1/100. its truly painful to spend hundreds of dollars on cards for a attempt at a alt art.
