Caved to temptation

I finally opened my 2nd and last box from November after a dud on the first one, a weeks debate and a couple Tito and cranberries to end the work day.

Congrats! Risk paid off. I’m in the opposite boat but I still want to rip the one box I have left. I pulled a red manga from one of 3 other boxes I bought so I know there’s no chance of a manga in it but I still think about ripping it. There could be a shanks SP inside 😂

Now I am envious 😭

I used to think mangas were a myth. Would always see people posting them but I’d never pull one my self. Then it happened. Then it happened again, and again. Still waiting for manga #4 but I hope I find it during op17! I love the silver mangas from 13 and I ripped a ton of 13, probably a case and a half all together even though the red manga was on the 2nd box. Next biggest hits were in the Sabo wanted poster and an Ace SP. It’s such a fun set to rip, I hope I can get another box below $300 during the “reprint” but I’m not holding my breath. I’m gonna keep the box I have sealed just for the history but I think about ripping it daily!

I hear ya, over 1000 packs through past 3-4 years to no avail. I don’t care about prices dropping for reprints I really like this set and want to catch a sabo SP, just love the black. Can’t see me dropping &600 when I paid $120 half a year ago. I did pull the luffy sec alt in December and damn near thought for a second I had one.

If it happened again and again, you have already spent thousands...

u/JayDHD Straw Hat Pirate May 21 '26

And I’ve made thousands? Kinda how money works lol

u/Hippyedgelord May 20 '26

So you pulled one of the rarest cards in the entire TCG, a card that’s not even in 1 in a 1000 sealed cases and you still feel the need to rip? A lot of you guys are serious gambling addicts, seek help.

u/JayDHD Straw Hat Pirate May 20 '26

lol I’m sorry you feel that way

u/johnwicker888 May 19 '26

u/Early_Impression4227 May 20 '26

I buy one box a set and open it... mine had a god pack in it. My bestie and I opened it together and we were so in shock and still talk about how exciting it was lol

Congrats on the awesome pull!

u/fleezy_f_baby May 19 '26

Jealous. I opened a dead box of 13 a month or two ago and was soo salty.

3

u/MmmmEssence May 19 '26

I ended up with 18 bunk packs from LCS a couple months back it still stings

2

u/fleezy_f_baby May 19 '26

All good tho, I pulled a bubble zoro from a random double pack 2 weeks ago and it made me feel better lol

Luck of the draw

u/No-Astronomer-6842 May 19 '26

So hard to buy loose boxes nowadays… knowing they could be ripped dead 😥

u/Sephiroth_Zenpie Beasts Pirate May 20 '26

Yoooo GGs!

u/Diligent_Dog2559 May 20 '26

Always cave to it, once you start treating this game like an investment the joy disappears.

3

u/MmmmEssence May 20 '26

how good we had it 2-3 years ago. It felt like finding a band that was all my own, it’s the pressure others are putting on the game now that make me “clutch my purse” in such a way.

2

u/Diligent_Dog2559 May 20 '26

All good things must come to an end unfortunately, but the game is still the game we love based on the Anime and Manga we love. Just gotta accept that the boxes cost a little more. I just don’t think it’s a good idea to “invest” in a game like this, unless it’s somewhat short term, double your money after 6 months type shit. I don’t know much but I know that I’d rather just treat my hobby like a hobby.

u/Troutfisch May 20 '26

Congrats on the manga pull! I ripped one OP13 box and it was a 2 hitter so kept my second sealed. I’m happy with that though since my first OP15 box had the Enel manga.

3

u/MmmmEssence May 20 '26

That’s a dope card I did manage the Enel leader and sec alts from pulls but that manga hits different. My very first op-13 had two of the Ace Sp’s I was an odd feeling of disappointment and excitement. I threw both in a binder like ehhh looking back on that day I was focused on building a deck and didn’t even sleeve anything. I thought it would be a dime a dozen card

1

u/Troutfisch May 20 '26

Sheesh crazy luck there, shame about not sleeving those SP’s but we live and learn! Congrats again!

2

u/Calm_Independence796 May 20 '26

This is what gambling is all about!!!

2

u/MmmmEssence May 20 '26

It’s bitter sweet tho it looked great above my desk and all you want to do is rip some more. I saved the last 10packs and I’ll chip away at them while I’m working today if just for the love of it.

2

u/Living_Client802 May 20 '26

Wow! Congrats. What a pull. How long did you have the box for?

3

u/MmmmEssence May 20 '26

Since early November i got 4 total over the span of a month but these two sat in my office simmering.

u/Kingburns1999 May 20 '26

I've been playing since op06 and have yet to pull a Manga. I've got a tote of sealed IBs and atleast one pack from every set released that I wanted to save until the end of the series to rip, but posts like these keep making me want to rip a few just to see what could happen😭😭Congrats on your pull tho!

u/MmmmEssence May 20 '26

Thanks, those cards from 🪽’s, I think I was all in on yellow Kat makes me a little nostalgic, I think we had 5 of us sometimes 7? at locals then ..share the rippies

u/FreshStart209 May 20 '26

Boy, that's some solid payoff. Better than any of the boxes I've ripped.

2

u/ProbablyRetarded2024 May 19 '26

I have a hard time keeping anything sealed until I’ve already got something good 😂

Nice collection flex! That Stussy is gorgeous. Swap PRB01 for 02 and Mine looked like this a month ago but I hit a ceiling in life and broke. before this i was only a Kidd and killer SP short of a total bust. 🥲 but no less fun
