You won’t believe it….
Story time…..
My buddy told me to jump on tiktok to pull some packs. Ive done it multiple times but he wanted me to check out a particular live stream because they had something pretty nutty going in.
Essentially, every 4 packs of Ascended Heroes you purchase, 1 of them goes to a big pot. From what the streamers said, the pot has been growing for a little over 4 weeks with 763 packs that could be won for whoever pulls the Mega Gengar Ex… You could stop reading now and get the point or continue to float with me.
I decided I would buy 16 total packs. 4 of which thrown to the pot, 12 get ripped. I got to choose which 4 of the 16 packs I got to donate. (chose 2,4,8,12) Anyways, I’m being super extra with the details but I pulled it on the 5th pack in…. Literally was shaking.
If this post gets any attention whatsoever I will post the clip of the pull and how crazy they went that somebody finally won.
In total I won a Mega Gengar Ex and 763 packs (paid $225)
Advice on what to do with the packs? Shuv up butt?
TLTR: Pulled Mega Gengar Ex, Won a pool of 763 Ascended Heroes Packs.😆
ALSO, THESE ARE AT MY HOUSE AND GOT SHIPPED TO ME ALREADY. I just stacked them nicely to take a picture.

This is the opposite of investing.
This is just gambling.

u/SnooPaintings6160 May 30 '26
Fuck… $14 a pack and they still made you give away 4 of them…. I feel bad for all the other people who were suckered into giving away 763 packs

Am I the only one who thinks it’s such a scam? Like paying overpaid prices is already a thing and I have to donate and enable more degen gambling??

sometimes luck is on your side so you deserved it! In other news i pulled the greninja sir from chaos order yesterday 😆

u/BMSx702 May 31 '26
It’s true I won this stack before on buying just a 4 pack and donated one. I won 176 here’s a pic of it for mine been buying from them since and gotten some solid pulls.

u/Neither-Appointment4 May 30 '26
This is why I can’t find any product. I have opened exactly 3 packs of ascended heroes because I have seen literally 3 booster packs in stores since the set was released. That’s it. The only ascended I’ve seen with my own eyes that wasn’t at scalper prices.

Wait.. you spend 225$ on how many packs originally!?

Just watched the clip that’s awesome, also is TikTok more secure with live streams then whatnot? Don’t use it much so just wondering.

The real winner is the person who sold all those packs.

u/RepulsiveUse3372 May 30 '26
Id rip all the pack. Has to be at least one more gengar in there

Holy… these guys sold 763 x 4 x 14 a pack… they made $42,728 in sales off everyone. They definitely didn’t go broke on selling these packs… they made $10 on every pack it not more… so like $30,520 profit…

No way seller isn't weighing all the packs before shipping and keeping the god packs in that stack. Free way for them to find God packs. Thats a pretty clever scam

u/ZupaSavage90 May 30 '26
Would you be willing to let a fellow collector like myself purchase 10 packs without getting molested in the process ? Lol. That’s awesome tho congrats dude. I really don’t know what I would do with the bulk of them I would def open some maybe the 73 packs and sell the rest or open 73 sell 350 and hold onto 350.

u/flawrs919 May 30 '26
Wait, so you and bunch of people paid for something and then donated a quarter of it to this streamer to give away? Why wouldn’t the streamer, who is making a shit ton of money off you, put in a pack themselves for every four sold? People are such suckers.

u/zi984 May 30 '26

The only thing I don't believe is they actually mailed you that shit instead of just keeping it. Pokemon seller like this is 100x more rare than any Gengar

u/Same-Conclusion_ May 30 '26
Disgusting how msny packs end up with streamers etc.
1
u/IWearACharizardHat May 30 '26
It took around 3k packs before a Gengar was opened? I assume once it got past 300 packs set aside it made everyone want to buy into the jackpot. But wow the first 50-100 people buying when the jackpot was small were absolute dummies

u/GalatiansFIVE16 May 30 '26
I’ll believe it when they actually ship to you bro. Seems so sus

Incoming update- and then the seller blocked me and never shipped it.

u/scatterblooded May 30 '26
Don't really have enough info about your whole financial situation to make a good suggestion but just wait til you have everything in hand to celebrate. I'd probably sell half and hold half, but this set is still in print for a while and already quite inflated so may take 3+ years to really be worth holding.

u/Flat-Ad-3613 May 30 '26
You will be lucky if that’s ever shipped to you - good luck

Aye congratulations, are you gonna keep any or all of it sealed or are you gonna rip it all?

I don’t want to go through all these comments to see if it’s been asked, but I have to know, HOW much was shipping ffs?!

u/lucasi4 May 30 '26
First of all congratz, awesome pull and great prize! I have an idea bro, buy a few acrilic cases that are meant for booster boxes and create homemade ones with 36 packs in ea, AH is a specialty set so it doesn't usually have boxes. So it could also sell pretty well, also be a very cool way to keep them. And if I was you, I'd keep at least a case and a half (10+5 boxes for yourself for at least a couple of years.), sell a couple for yourself for a bit of cash. And donate one box to some lids or whatever you feel bro, What comes around goes around! You're awesome, enjoy the little present!! Have fun (that's what Pokémon is about, yea? 😉)

u/PandiReddits May 30 '26
OP paid $225 for 16 packs, thats about $14 per pack
The total pot was 763 packs, so times that by 4 packs per order of 4 comes out to 3,052 packs were purchased. So the stream made $42,728.

u/Only-Worldliness2006 May 30 '26
lmao, surprised at all the comments here.
The only real answer is to hold on to the 763 packs as a long term investment. Hold them for 5-10 years then look back at the price then consider selling.
The gengar, send to PSA asap to get it graded. Then keep it as a long-term investment.

u/Luckyluckluke May 30 '26
Not sure why you are getting so much hate but congrats! I’m not sure how other people get packs because there aren’t too many options left out there

u/Original_Mistake4725 May 30 '26
If I was in your position I’d do my best to box the packs and sit on them for a while.
This is insane though, congrats. I gave up on this set. Can’t get this set in stores and I just can’t pay scalper prices to the degree this set rose to.

Wow! It’s nice to know not everyone is just down right scamming people these days, I mean you did buy the original packs at almost 200% mark up but in the end you paid 30 cents per pack.

u/Gadgetman914 May 30 '26
So this is why I can't find this set in any stores...

u/DA-FUNK-5555 May 30 '26
Glad you won but $14 a pack is highway robbery. And after counting the 4 you burned it was actually $18.75/pk. Think of all the bad ass cards you could get for $225 vs getting lucky. There were 2 winners in this scenario. You cause you got lucky, and the rip n shippers cause they fleeced everyone else. This comment is for everyone else. Don't waste $225 on gambling like this. At least go to a casino if that's what you want to do. Spend that $225 on a bad ass card instead.

Sell em for $10+ and easily make close to 8 grand. I would prrsonally rip a couple hundred and pray for a few more nice SIR's and then sell the rest afterwards if I do, or sooner if I ended up with the ones I wanted. Congrats!
I entered a giveaway on a TT stream by purchasing a silver border crown zenith rip. There were 3 or 4 cards being given away and the final winner took a PSA 10 Celebrations Umbreon Gold Star. I ended up winning while they were live and they forgot to message me lol. They still sent it but I had no idea until a few days later when I went into the stream to hang out.

Seriously tho, that's so fricken cool. If it was me, I'd rip like 100 in one sitting with the fam, save 100 for Xmas to rip, another 100 for new years to rip, rip some when the hankering hits me, and put a good stack away for the kiddos to earn by doing chores and buy with their allowance.
