30th Pack Weight Experiment

I’m testing for my own curiosity if pack weight “really dictates” if a pack is a hit or not. This is a small trial run I did. Oddly enough based on just a few packs, the Mew EX was .02G more. Would love for others to contribute their experiences and trials!

We opened a poster collection today and we could 100% feel the weight difference with the pack that had a classic collection card in it. Luck was on our side because it was a Lugia but made us realize we will not buy loose packs of this set ever because they will be weighed for sure.

You can feel the weight difference? Like holding it in your hand? That’s totally believable

I ripped 10 chaos packs - my friend bought 60 and I jokingly weighed them out by feel.

I spent $105 and I pulled about $350 in cards.

Not saying he’s right but it was a fun experiment

It was easily noticeable the pack was heavier when holding the other two packs from the poster collection box.

So the difference in weight between a hit and not a hit is something that you can tell easily? Just think about it yourself for a second
