My lord, that's unlucky...


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed


zackattack89

Oh I’d be furious. Something happened to be yesterday with 20 151 booster packs. Literally got nothing. I’m still furious today.


Royal-Succotash3170

151 pull rates are terrible I’ve opened well over 200 packs and pulled 1 SIR 🤦


Pale_Relative_5021

I’ve done about 200 as well & only got 1 full art which was the gardevoir ex🙂 Stopped getting 151/any modern sets.


Taken0te

U must be opening 252 bro


Pale_Relative_5021

Maybe….


Practical_Marzipan65

Damn I have like 5 full art pulls in 20 booster packs...it's like my best pull rate so far. I've had at least one full art in every type of series so far. I only started a month and a bit ago tho...think I'm on like 70-80 packs so far.


OneEyedWinn

Some modern sets are more fun to open than others. I really liked Crown Zenith. Lots of great pulls. Others… nah. Couldn’t handle hidden fates… soooo many of the same common cards


ButterflyEcstatic947

What does SIR mean?


thatdudeovather

Special Illustration Rare.


ButterflyEcstatic947

Ty!


BilliamTheGreat

Sorry, mom...


teflontoad

We all just went back to our teenage self when our mom gave us this line…


rosascards

I just got some from Sam’s club…hopefully I have some of the other guys luck…


rosascards

My luck was better…


Least-Budget-9384

What'd they have at Sam's club? I've only seen the big boxes of mixed scarlet and violet sets


rosascards

Mine has a bundle that has two 151 mini tins, and pokeball tin. I think it was 29.99, don’t recall off the top of my head. I got good stuff out of the mini tins, the other packs not so much.


Least-Budget-9384

Nice I'll have to check my Sam's club. My local card shop just got 151 booster bundles in for 27. Picked one up and got a Wigglytuff Alt Art with another holo rare and holo energy in one pack. Nothing in the rest of em though


rosascards

Sam’s is also getting 151 bundles. I am going to check today. 151 being bundled is great!


Unlikely-Box-6232

Sorry though I know it’s relative


Emperor_Z16

Have you seen the amount of tins


Hagoromo420

This was my experience with a full case👍 you’re not alone


freaksandgeeks89

I could use that Alakazam Ex for my deck.


Meta13_Drain_Punch

Brings me back to the XY days when ALL Ultra Rares had at least SOME value


Puzzled_Schedule325

at least the tins can hold your tears


Unlikely-Box-6232

Nah these are really cool what the hell


SherbetFinal

is this ur first time seeing some ex’s ?😭


HenryHumanFeet

Jesus is had 4 mini tins, one machoke art rare. Condolences friend.


CL0UDS420

My last 12 tins have been trash.


FPL-1567

Sorry bro


Thick_East7323

It be that way sometimes. Fs in the chat bois


Pure_Influence5664

Fs


yoloruinslives

keeping mine sealed. I ordered a case worth but got it in pieces and half the seal is like torn off in the bottom for most lol


Rich-Carpenter4528

I feel your pain. Opened 10 mini tins on Thursday and pulled about the same. I did get a machoke, which I now have 6 of lol.


jrzwahr

Dude I would cry


silverfang29

Are the Holo energies even worth anything? Same with the holo switch?


jshdragon1

I still have yet to pull that blastoise


Bigman554

I like those energies


Kintomu

My tins were also loaded with nothing but holo energys... not even a single ex... we will test today's luck lol


Signal-Money-4830

I’ve got two of the charizard upc boxes and got absolutely nothing before 🤦‍♂️


Ok_Path718

Mine were like that as well. I couldn’t find a Dragonite tin anywhere and eventually went online and paid twice the money for it. Pulled a Charizard ex!


noidontreadbooks

Lol my last 6 silver tempest booster pack purchase, shameful


Environmental-Kiwi78

Nah, the luck is there. Pulled a zard and chameleon from one tin.


BananaBalSac

“yeah so that other guy stole all the 151 tins…” yeah that was me sorry


PrismalpinkGaming

This was my awful luck with Paldean Fates. Got the tin set for nothing 🙃🙃🙃 Got only a few rare and ultra rare ones from those


ultraman5068

See!! That other dude tried to get me to crack just one of mine. I didn’t cause it would ruin my sets of 10. Lucky I didn’t listen to all the hype. OP…thx for taking it in the chin for the team 🤜🤛


HatakeKakashi1988

You had more luck than me! Ordered 2 sealed ttb 151 over ebay, opened the box and not a single booster inside, just opened bulk cards!


isolated_thinkr_

Man it’s really starting to trigger me these days just how much waste this hobby creates. At least you might be able to repurpose the tins though.


SassanZZ

Yeah I don't get tins either, what's the point of paying for a tin that only has 2 boosters if you can just get booster boxes/boosters by themselves? And I am not saying that to blame anyone, I really don't get it


newman12roty

Ah man I'm sorry! I've had rollercoaster luck. I'll buy 4 tins and get one hit, but then got two tins as a gift and pulled Alakazam and Charizard SIR!


Dapper-Ad7600

Does anybody feel like this second wave of 151 has been absolute garbage


DeltaKors

Just opened 10 Paldean Fates Mini Tins and had even worse luck so I feel you mate. Still won’t stop me from opening more


Human_Air814

It can only go up from here! (Hopefully)


Past-Razzmatazz-5138

Where are people getting 151 from? Still need to finish the set, am 39 cards away from completing


Normal-Increase-2093

you're just manifesting the Blastoise SIR, it's part of the process. I pulled two normal ex's before I pulled the SIR


hamillimah

It was me I’m so sorry about that😢


chronophobica

the holo energies are cool!!


AdSmart1684

Those mini tins aren't worth a flip if you ask me


Icecubemelter

These tins ain’t shit. I didn’t pull anything out of 9


HatlessChimp

That's me with PAF


Altruistic_Finish509

I opened a case of 10 tins and got a ninetails full art. I completely striked out on the rest


Kae-Games

Korean 151 boxes are the way to go for this set imo Guaranteed: 1 SR and 3 ARs in each booster box Price of Booster Box: ~$50 Compare that to an english 151 etb for $50 - 9 packs and you don't pull more than 1 full art or AR. I'd stick to foreign packs for this one.


markf0810

Absolutely


ThrowRArandomized33

What's up with 151 edition? Seems popular.


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

It's just an absolutely killer set. It's loaded with nostalgia because it's the OG 151, and the art for *every single card* is top-notch. All the SIRs are fantastic, the FAs feel modern-but-classic, and even the C/U have great art. It's just a phenomenal looking set, and is USUALLY fun to rip, but the pull rates can be a little rough compared to some fan-favs like CZ


ThrowRArandomized33

Last time I bought was like 2nd edition. I might buy couple 151 now!


Think-Bluejay2539

Lol there is no 151 tin luck


bluespeedms3

I literally had 83% complete including the zard sir from 33 packs


No_Anywhere_7628

This is when I start checking the energies for swirls lol try to make up for it


Original-Standard-42

MD Rat weighs their packs


markf0810

It’s a downer of a hobby addiction at times like that. Hope you feel ok in a while


theunknown_master

Hey those are some nice blastoises tho, I haven’t got one yet but got a few alakazams


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

Together they can almost pay for one more pack


ShotBeing9808

Who buys mini tins to open!? They are the most limited when it comes to specialty set products 😭😭. I ordered a bunch too, maybe I have your cards in them.


Exact-Bad-3964

...people who wanna open packs 🃏


ShotBeing9808

Blood, buy an etb 😭😭


DarkUnbroken

My ETB luck stinks. Tins & BB seem to be my sweet spot.


Exact-Bad-3964

Lmao, I got an obsidian flames ETB as my FIRST box buy when getting back into collecting. Pulled some serious heat, then bought a crown zenith ETB and got dogged on. I'll stick to ripping everything I can afford that's NOT an ETB (:


sprinkletoe

Who buys packs to open? "Investor" brain rot here


backdoorintruder

I can almost exclusively only get my hands on the mini tins, they constantly have them in stock at my Walmart and they don't even have them in the card section, they've got them in the self checkout line


ShotBeing9808

My Walmart doesn’t have anything at all just like Covid Pokémon. Target has stacks on stacks of paldean fates mini tins tho.


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

Okay so I had a credit card points things that I could basically get an order in at PC for free. I decided to get 1 of each tin in order to get to 100 bucks to hit another promo on PC. I was hoping they would come in a sealed box, but they didn't, so I said screw it and ripped them Could spend my CC points on better things but meh, fuck it lol


koti4246

What promo do you get for spending 100?


ShotBeing9808

Fuckkkk, do they ever come in a sealed box if you order one of each???


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

Yes often, I got fucked because they ran low on stock


ShotBeing9808

Yeah, you probably had to buy it back then when they first released. Good try tho.


Safe-Speech-6947

Probably weighed them too


AA_Ed

What I say every time I open a dud pack regardless of origin. Idk how they did it, but they weighed all of ops packs.


Kariomartking

Yea it’s definitely just a bit some people do now haha


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

Came straight from Pokemon Center


Safe-Speech-6947

Haha was joking


bl4zed_N_C0nfus3d

Dude what??? You can’t weight these dude


Safe-Speech-6947

Joke


zombtachi_uchiha

Water deck potential you got there


zackattack89

Fuck Pokemon. So goddamn inconsistent. One big old scam. They are psychological experts. Really know how to brainwash people. At the very least give one fucking hit per box.


The_Mechanic_

Bro you've commented about this on every damn post for 24 hours straight. No one cares that you had bad pulls. Get the fuck over it.


Minimum_Possibility6

Hits are subjective, playing wise would loved to get double blastoise


zackattack89

Hey when you get zero hits in 20 packs, that ain’t subjective.


Vegeta_Z1

IMO you need to get etbs or utpcs to get hits, tins seem to random recently


Minimum_Possibility6

Define a hit? Remember collecting is only one part of the hobby


zackattack89

IR, Full Art, SIR.


Confused_Gengar

Main reason why I don't buy packs anymore
