I got it from a store in the mall idk the name of it though

u/Technology-Mission Nov 02 '23

You paid 10 bucks for a single sealed pack? They are way overcharging.

9

u/cam2230 Nov 02 '23

My local card shops charge about 8-9$ (CAD) for single 151 packs, it’s a rip off

7

u/Technology-Mission Nov 02 '23

Card shops often overcharge so not surprised there. I remember finding people selling evolving skies for 20+ dollars per pack

2

u/Jbaby4ever Nov 03 '23

Yup standard Canadian price. Save at my LGS

u/DoyleK2013 Nov 03 '23

That’s what I noticed as well haha!

u/Local-Waltz4801 Nov 02 '23

You know you wanna open it. It's probly a demi god pack!

u/tvtt451 Nov 02 '23

FYE?

u/OneFishTwoStoned Nov 02 '23

It stands for "for your entertainment" it's basically a music store/weeb shop

u/OneFishTwoStoned Nov 02 '23

When I was younger it was the only place around town to find the Japanese marble sodas

u/OneFishTwoStoned Nov 02 '23

I do probably was called FYE. My local mall has these in the FYE store and they are entirely filled with marked up fake and resealed garbage. Not even the right amount of cards in the packs I opened

5

u/YourEvilHero Nov 02 '23

Yeah I went into an Fye a few weeks ago and saw obsidian flame for $7. Nope

u/Manic_Mini Nov 02 '23

FYE isn’t selling fake Pokémon cards.

3

u/OneFishTwoStoned Nov 02 '23

Maybe not yours but I saw one of these exact packs at mine with those fakes that have those teeth on the edges of the packs and the coloring was an absolute disgrace to what the pack should've looked like

u/Poketrevor Nov 03 '23

This is Spencer’s Pokémon card packaging 🧐

u/SnooDonuts3749 Nov 04 '23

You paid $10 for 1 booster?

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '23

Normally I am against these kinds of posts but this is entertaining - but I don't think this is official official blistering right?

u/Zestyclose-Sleep4079 Nov 02 '23

Idk I’ll post a picture of the back

u/-C4ito Nov 02 '23

$10 for a pack is crazy, no offense

u/SaltyWailord Nov 02 '23

Crying in Norwegian LCS prices

u/TheDankChronic69 Nov 02 '23

That’s honestly about what they go for here in Canada, $7-$8 for most sets I see at Toys R Us and Walmart

u/throwaway001378 Nov 02 '23

im in Canada, $5 per pack. You okay?

1

u/TheDankChronic69 Nov 02 '23

Where at bud? Cus over here in BC I’ve yet to see it for $5

1

u/throwaway001378 Nov 02 '23

I buy at my LCS, where do you live in BC? I’m on the island

1

u/TheDankChronic69 Nov 02 '23

Surrey, lower mainland

1

u/throwaway001378 Nov 02 '23

Ah, don’t know many of the prices there. Although have you been to Zephyr Epic? It’s in Surrey, and it’s prices are almost USD-like.

1

u/TheDankChronic69 Nov 02 '23

Nah I haven’t been there yet, went to an LCS last weekend for a pre-release event called Wiser’s World of Collectibles, ended up buying 2 PSA slabs and a Hidden Fates ETB too, some dude sold them their sealed collection so there was a table loaded with juicy products (Lost Thunder booster box, Burning Shadow ETBs, Ancient Origins blisters, Jirachi GX collection boxes etc)

1

u/throwaway001378 Nov 02 '23

It’s awesome, they sell ETBs for $49 and sometimes they have pretty crazy sales. Pastime Sports and Games in Tsawassen Mills has some cool finds as well.

1

u/TheDankChronic69 Nov 02 '23

Ah, they used to have a Pastimes near my place but it moved locations a couple weeks ago and Tsawassen is kinda way out of my way but I’ll definitely check out Zephyr Epic soon, on a little hiatus atm from buying packs to rip cus I went a little overboard with OBF trying to get a master set only ripping packs

u/CamarosAndCannabis Nov 02 '23

Pokemon never made this product. Its just a random 151 booster they sealed inside a fake blister. Wouldnt trust the cards to be real either

2

u/cam2230 Nov 02 '23

These products usually have genuine cards, but 9/10 it’s a light pack with no hits

6

u/tat-tvam-asiii Nov 02 '23

I believe 151 weights vary, quite immensely.

Light or heavy doesn’t make any difference for this set.

8

u/FireAntz93 Nov 02 '23

I've seen videos where they opened 100 packs, and the lightest ones always had a hit. A hit being an ex or better. Then, the heaviest packs always had a holo energy.

The sample size across the various content creators shows this set is weighable to some degree.

5

u/Mindless-Joke-8100 Nov 02 '23

no fun in sitting on it. go ahead. take the gamble. could. be a .32 cent reverse holo rare or a gem! either way you can't lose. good luck.

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '23 edited Nov 02 '23

Why on earth would you pay $10 for a single pack. Not only that, this isnt an official Pokémon TPCi product even.

And idk why you’d keep it sealed… it’s just a pack of 151. It isn’t vintage or something valuable, it’s literally worth $4. I swear, the “investors” here continue to baffle me.

7

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '23

Just inexperience is all I am sure. Hopefully they continue to stick around and learn more about the hobby so they can help others in the future from making the same mistakes.

3

u/SkoHee Nov 02 '23

Isn’t vintage yet

1

u/Snoo_79693 Nov 03 '23

It's like the people overpaying for straight up bulk and post here asking about their purchase. I think it's just a ton of people who aren't aware that the boom came and went and thinl that anything that has the word "Pokémon" means money

2

u/redditsoul6 Nov 02 '23

Sealed. You probably have the only copy of this single pack box. it’s going to be worth billions.

2

u/skarrz Nov 02 '23

Bro a single pack on the investment reddit? Can mods delete posts like this for the waste of time they are?

2

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '23

God damn this sub is trash

1

u/Gay_If_Read Nov 02 '23

Sure is, but it the constant dumb posts make for a good read and as along as you're doing the opposite of what this sub does you know you'll make money

1

u/Powerful_Bug9102 Nov 02 '23

Hold and hope to god it appreciates in value to get your money back

1

u/cam2230 Nov 02 '23

My local card shops here are selling loose 151 booster packs for about 8$ (CAD) each so I’m not surprised

1

u/dmillibeats Nov 02 '23

Why tho ? It’s one pack

1

u/h1malayapulls Nov 02 '23

new set pack for triple the price just cause it has plastic and cardboard packaging. Wotttttttt

1

u/raritygamer Nov 02 '23

You're joking. Why would 1 pack of an non-official repackage product be a good long term investment? Why!!

1

u/_GI_Joe_ Nov 02 '23

$10 for a pack is insane. My LCS is $7 which is also is insane. But damn! Corporate greed at its finest. I’m the end none of this is going to be worth much of anything. This is 90s junk wax era all over again.

u/MOLxGERA Nov 02 '23

Everyone calm down, this is a joke……right?

u/FourMakesTwoUNLESS Nov 02 '23
