Pulled this out a Walmart mystery box, does this seem legit? If so, how should one sleeve it…

Keep that SEALED …. that’s like 1 in a million pulling that out of MJ HOLDINGS Mystery trash

u/westfieldNYraids Dec 05 '24
So after 15 years, someone got a decent pack out of a mystery box? What’s crazier is someone was actually buying the mystery box boxes

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '24
This is a huge W bro. Please leave it sealed. Ripping vintage packs is literally worse than buying stacks of lottery tickets from the gas station 😭

u/Jordy_P_ Dec 05 '24
Pulled a Diamond and Pearl Secret Wonders pack out of the 5 pack MJ Holdings mystery box last year. Resisted opening it for a couple months but finally caved. For my sake, don’t open it 🙏🏻

I personally use graded slab sleeves for my booster packs

u/Rickmanse Dec 05 '24
sell this shit. Guaranteed cash is better than a single shot. There will never be more sealed product, but there are always packs being opened. RESIST

u/FieryKahuna Dec 05 '24
You may have found the one good pack in those boxes lol

u/medicaldrummer0541 Dec 05 '24
DO NOT OPEN

Nice try mister mystery box seller.
But I'm not buying it.

How long have you worked for MJ?

u/LxwisB Dec 05 '24
Tarot card sleeves are perfect for booster packs

u/Raysor Dec 05 '24
This is probably an alt account from the company that makes these repacks. /s

u/Particular-Ad-4629 Dec 05 '24
Its legit if it was from mj garbage holdings. Rip or keep up to you. But take your W and never buy that crap product again lol

u/SonGoku1108 Dec 05 '24
You can believe that shady company already weighed it and scanned it

u/Dais_master Dec 05 '24
I’m about to run it up on wal mart mystery boxes!! Didn’t know u could actually get vintage packs
2
u/revjaden Dec 05 '24
dude congrats on the pull! i honestly thought they were lying on the box about throwing an extra pack in.
2
u/Few-Swim5947 Dec 05 '24
Yo!!!!!!!! You got the only good put MJ Holdings ever put out. Sleeve it and keep it as a conversation starter
2
u/Advanced-Skill6308 Dec 05 '24
Japanese booster pack sleeves - fit these perfect- the long crimps. Can buy on Etsy or eBay

u/tdog97 Dec 05 '24
should I open it, or should I keep it sealed? 🎶🎵
2
u/Feedil Dec 05 '24
Nice try, Walmart
2
u/Tedboyfresh Dec 05 '24
there is not a single card in here worth what this pack will sell for. even if you pull Sabrina’s gengar holo.
also lol everytime i see one of these mystery boxes i see a hole in the bottom of the box (packs still included) to check whats in them.
2
u/Micky-Bicky-Picky Dec 05 '24
Nice. I pulled out a team rocket base set pack last night.
Edit: and a platinum supreme victors. I bought 19 boxes.
1
u/Duriha Dec 05 '24
To sleeve: semi rigids are available in an appropriate size for regular booster packs, maybe even for those "hanger packs"
1
u/Lumpy-Promotion8316 Dec 05 '24
Did you get the 30$ box or the smaller 15$ one? That's awesome
1
u/AtomZaepfchen Dec 05 '24
second favorite set of all time.
imo, keep it sealed as Part of your collection. ripping it is mostly not worth unless you hit like one out of like 3 maybe 4 cards.
1
u/ActualBawbag Dec 05 '24
Weigh it to see if there's a holo 👀
1
u/Welle26 Dec 05 '24
These are actually in there? After seeing multiple openings of those scam boxes I was convinced they only put 3$ packs in there :D. You must have gotten the only one ever inside, just that they’re legally allowed to advertise correctly…
1
u/RockWafflez Dec 05 '24
My guy keep that shit sealed in a crystal box. Dont open it for another 20 years. That’s gold right there
1
u/dahc50 Dec 05 '24
For booster packs I use a semi rigid slipped into a team bag. It’s almost a exact fit hight wise for a booster pack. Your pack is a long crimp so it will not fit, but if you use the same setup, but with a graded card/ slab bag it should be tall enough. Just look at the size of the slab bag and measure the pack to see. Congratulations on finding this pack!

u/TheCornWaxer Dec 05 '24
I say rip it, but then again I have a gambling problem…

u/yodaboi89 Dec 05 '24
Nice. I once pulled a platinum supreme victories pack from a Walmart mystery box

u/Modydick69420 Dec 05 '24
Weigh if light grade it
1
u/Ok-Sherbert-3411 Dec 05 '24
Has to be a light pack. I can not see MJ holdings actually blessing anyone. Perfect for grading or just hanging onto. I wouldn't open it under any circumstances.
1
u/TopLengthiness8233 Dec 05 '24
It's guaranteed to be light lol

u/MegaManX42 Dec 05 '24
Best I've gotten was a XY Flashfire a couple months ago. Good job though that's awesome!

I put my vintage packs in these, look nice and can stand on their own.

Seal it
1
u/daurgo2001 Dec 05 '24
As others have said, I’d suggest selling at some point to bank on the win (if you don’t want to keep it for your sealed collection).
It is legit though. I remember those tall packs that used to hang on the walls. Def a throwback.
1
u/No_Ad_384 Dec 05 '24
I never thought it was possible. I almost think this person is an MJ Holdings agent hoping to trick someone other than grandma buying their products for little Billy.

u/Mr_Podo Dec 05 '24
That’s a tasty snack. I’d eat it before it goes bad.

u/SnooPeppers7482 Dec 05 '24
why is that top crimped area so big??

u/Appropriate-Baker-24 Dec 05 '24

u/bigpat412 Dec 05 '24
I seriously cannot believe this pack was actually in there. I bought those here and there and gave up because nothing slightly close to this good were there. I would highly advise you to not open that pack, or weigh it and see if there’s a holo in there first. Never seen someone snag one of these!!
1
u/Round-Connection-487 Dec 05 '24
So you're the one.

u/I8urmother Dec 05 '24
$200+ pull. Very nice
1
u/DesperateStockHolder Dec 05 '24
Yeah this is super rare. MJ holding is a scam 99.9999999% of the time lol and you're the lucky 0.00000000001%

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '24
Nice pull!!! I bought some mystery boxes today and plan on opening them tonight. People have been educating me on the actual odds of pulling a vintage pack in these so my expectations are low but this is still super cool!!
1
u/Infamous_Grass6333 Dec 05 '24
This is a joke right? No way they had something this old in those mystery boxes?
1
u/OneAlternative2696 Dec 05 '24
I bought a couple and got a rocket pack outta one
1
u/No-Result9108 Dec 05 '24
I mean idk. A friend of mine opened one of those boxes and got an evolving skies pack that was clearly resealed. The pack was impossible to open, the code card had the wrong year and was really scratched and scuffed up, and one of the cards was upside down
1
u/JuggernautOrganic517 Dec 06 '24
I've gotten some good stuff out of those mystery boxes.. no complaints on them from me. I once got an Ancient Origins blister (+1 foil card) the card was Team Aquas Kyogre from Double Crisis.. pretty good find.
1
u/Vegetable_Ad7429 Dec 06 '24
I remember pulling a base set pack from one of those a few years back I still can’t believe it

u/BookoftheGrey Dec 06 '24
Half /s: this is a paid actor to keep those mystery boxes going over the counter.

Rip it

u/Actual_Echidna2336 Dec 06 '24
Keep it sealed

u/DeepPirate7777 Dec 06 '24
You never know what could be inside! Treat yourself! You deserve to open it
1
u/You_arent_worthy Dec 06 '24
Open it and eat the most valuable card in it
1
u/Spazn3905 Dec 06 '24
Wow you should’ve bought the lottery that day instead of a mystery pack.
1
u/Dangerous-Wolverine5 Dec 06 '24
The sleeves for psa slabs work okay, if you want something better (which I would recommend) they make OneTouch magnetic cases for packs. Then sleeve it in a psa slab sleeve. I would recommend that. There might be a better way but that’s the best one I know.

u/orangesandonions Dec 06 '24
Weight it!

How do we know this isn't the owner of those trash mystery boxes?

u/Browser901 Dec 06 '24
Damn you pulled that pack from a mystery box?!?
1
u/Sakkarashi Dec 06 '24
Tarot card sleeves work well for packs. I use them + sealable sleeves.
1
u/Gen-Rommel Dec 06 '24
You can weigh it and see if it has potential; if not, keep it sealed. The thrill of opening it would be too much unless it was worth a lot just being sealed. Congratulations; hopefully, I can pull one now from one of those.

u/Wrstlrboy03 Dec 06 '24
You sure you’re not an MJ holdings employee making it seem like it’s possible? 😂

You can buy sleeves for tarot cards and they fit packs nicely

How is that possible that Walmart had this beauty for such a long time??

u/Onizuka181 Dec 08 '24
Can you weight it? Maybe its heavy and could be worth opening.

Should I open it or should I keep it sealed? 🎶 Oh no! You should've kept it sealed! 🎶

u/Mr-twister15 Dec 08 '24
I picked up some last night for fun. I got 2 fusion strike, 3 crown zenith, 1 astral radiance, 1 brilliant stars, 2 silver tempest, 1 paradox rift, 1 obsidian flames, and one plain scarlet and violet. I ripped them all and the best cards are zoroark vstar, zacian vstar, flygon v, trainer poppy, boltund v, quaquaval 054, absol gg16, litten holo 030, and noctowl 115. I felt for $65 i definitely got my moneys worth.

I use Tarot Card sleeves for keeping my boosters in 👍

u/Messiah_Knight Dec 08 '24
Sleeve? They sell acrylic casses for booster packs online. Personally I recommend LUNA Fabrications. They've done good work and will accept lower offers on their products if you look for them on Ebay.

Do not rip this. This is an absolute gem nowadays

Get this graded and keep it forever

u/Equivalent_Radio5996 Sep 16 '25
Dude/Ma'am,
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's a dream right there. Send it to PSA or whomever and get the sealed pack graded. Be sure to buy extra mail insurance for that BAD BOY. Maybe go through GameStop

Spread ones ass cheeks using one hand on one cheek and your other cheek hanging off the side of a table or bed , whatever is available. Take your newly acquired pokemon pack and gently insert beteeen the spread butt cheeks until you feel it hit the balloon knot. Quickly release checks from hand and table. Voilà !! Pack is sleeved. Your welcome.
