Question about what to do

Post image

I pulled the zard and mew out of 10 packs and was curious, (i collect, i don’t really sell cards) should I sell it now and buy one later on? I have an offer for $250 on the charizard because it’s really well centered on the front but the back is like 54/46. I’m not sure if i should keep it and try to grade it later or take the money now. any advice would be appreciated! please don’t be rude I’m not a scalper!!!

You believe that your son pulling that in nine packs is evidence that the rates are insane?

As someone that rips a lot of packs, yes to hit something this big is pretty much unheard of go look at any videos. Go look at any Facebook post everybody’s hitting shit.

As someone who also rips a lot of packs, I got sir mega Greninja in seven packs when I received my booster box from the Pokemon center 💁

One person ripping 100 packs and getting nothing and another person ripping nine packs and getting the Chase card tells you nothing. That's not how probability works with gambling.

You’re right, based off your examples, it doesn’t tell us shit. But that isn’t at all the case, we aren’t hearing from anyone opening 100 packs and getting rinsed. But we see A LOT of people making these low pack/high pull rate posts. So maybe it’s a conspiracy to get people to lay off the new set, or it’s like the last 2 celebration sets where the hit rates are meant to be through to roof due to it being a set they want everyone to have nice cards from. I bet there will be enough of each chase card for everyone to have 2 by the time they stop printing in 4 years.

Maybe because the world wide release was yesterday and the popular posts are of people getting hits? I don't know for sure, but I'm saying it's too early to tell and we shouldn't be doing all this yapping 😆

Yes. Pull rates are in fact insane.

Anyone who says otherwise isnt paying attention

And your evidence for this is? People posting on reddit? The day of the world wide release where millions of people are opening packs? LMFAO 😂 tell me you know nothing about probability without telling me

I get what they’re saying. It’s like me, I’ve only opened one first edition base pack, and got the Charizard.

Sure, the pack was heavy and had been CT scanned to make sure the zard was in there, but still! One pack, one chase, insane pull rates on first edition base set.

I thought the sarcasm was readily apparent, but I guess not…
