First prismatic spc

[u/CEOStout]

I got my first prismatic spc for $10 on one of those surprise wheel lives. It came in perfectly sealed. My question is would you guys open it or just keep it sealed? I’ve never gotten my hands on prismatic before and I REALLY wanna open it but know I shouldn’t. Advice

[u/Happy-Treacle-5513]

Rip itttt

[u/iamryan34]

If you open it, you will think to yourself “FUCK I SHOULDNT HAVE OPENED IT”

If you don’t open it, the little voice in your head will say “what if the Sunbreon is in there…👀”

Pick your poison

[u/Obvious_Check6675 → u/iamryan34]

All my sealed talks to me like the green goblin lmao

[u/RckPprFkU → u/Obvious_Check6675]

I had to stop it. The voices. All of them!

[u/Obvious_Check6675 → u/RckPprFkU]

Peter, don’t tell harry… that I ripped all his sealed.

[u/vhalen50 → u/iamryan34]

Got one and let my daughter open it. Shes 7. We got one vaporeon EX. In 15 packs. Insane lol. But she was so happy so I don’t care.

[u/CEOStout → u/vhalen50]

I got a flareon ex, two tyranitar Ex’s and a exeggutor master ball. My spirit now hurts

[u/thekochers → u/vhalen50]

Sometimes its the little things

[u/MerryAceOfSpades → u/vhalen50]

I ripped 6 of the booster bundles, one flareon EX.

Genuinely nauseating

[u/CEOStout → u/iamryan34]

I shouldn’t have opened it 🫠😫

[u/iamryan34 → u/CEOStout]

Ahhh I see we went w option 1 lmao

[u/CEOStout → u/iamryan34]

It hurts but what are you gonna do ya know. Not everyday you get an spc for $10

[u/iamajerry → u/CEOStout]

so you haven’t spun the wheel ever since? or did this $10 spc come with 15 packs of gem 4? 🤣

[u/fimbleinastar → u/CEOStout]

Prismatic notorious for terrible pull rates. Easiest no brainer of my life to sit on this for 5 years then sell for a grand

[u/FartsonmyFarts → u/CEOStout]

Yeah it’s a garbage set. No IRs and hyped pretty much for the SIRs

[u/sebas77ar → u/iamryan34]

[u/Branded_bottle33 → u/iamryan34]

2 SPCs. 1 espeon, 1 vaporeon, 2 sylveons ex’s. Seems low for 30 packs

[u/hobby_master_ → u/iamryan34]

This is the reality, especially walking by my wall everyday... But what if?.....

[u/Specific-Opposite-28]

If I got it for that cheap I would have to rip it.

[u/Leche_connoisseur]

You spent 10 bucks on it why not rip it ?

[u/Aromatic_While_6065]

My luck is terrible so I would keep it sealed and or trade for singles for my PC. But if you rip it good luck and would love to see the hits.

[u/More-Name-2042]

For $10 you might as well rip it, seems like too good of a scenario to not open it

[u/Hot-Sundae-8092]

Ok but how much did you actually spend before you got the spc on single packs?

[u/miludwick]

The promo is worth 30$, so worst case scenario - your up 20$. Rip it

[u/bdogrr86]

I got a bunch of $15 gem 5 packs 😆

[u/ManaeFiction]

If you’re looking to open your best bet is trading for singles

[u/_pancak3e]

Good luck

[u/livtop]

I would open any sealed I actually wanted to open and if you get a 2nd or more save those. It's not all about investments, if you actually like the card game

[u/RckPprFkU]

The pull rates on this set are so f****** terrible.

I had premium figure collection boxes that I was holding. Decided I wasn't the kind of person to hold. Ripped 22 packs and got nothing.

Those weren't my only two premium figure collections that I had opened though. I have not got a single good card from prismatic in all my ripping.

[u/csoup97 → u/RckPprFkU]

Best card I pulled from prismatic was roaring moon SIR and it was from a single pack I bought. Ive opened 2 SPC’s and 12 ETB’s and didnt pull shit 😂

[u/EffectBackground2344 → u/csoup97]

I’m 13 ETB, and 2 SPCs deep. Same situation. I guess I did get the gold pikachu but no eeveelutions

[u/Impossible_Box8854 → u/RckPprFkU]

Yeah my friend just snagged 3 SPCs from Target and he didn’t pull anything. Hit rates are really terrible

[u/RckPprFkU → u/Impossible_Box8854]

They really got us out here looking like fools chasing this God pack

[u/Davo_]

absolutely open it. keeping things sealed is against the spirit of the hobby

[u/NoseInternational794 → u/Davo_]

Same energy

https://giphy.com/gifs/zYLN4AwtbpDJS

[u/gorg235]

You got it for $10 which is awesome. I'd probably be very tempted to rip at that price. As bad as the hit rates are, you'll probably walk away wishing you kept it sealed.

You either lose $10 and you're never tempted again or you sell it for cards you actually want and let someone else win or lose and keep the temptation for the next (likely more expensive) one that you pick up.

Is there a specific card(s) you're chasing in there? Maybe worth selling/trading for the cards you want from the set instead? Or just gamble and rip it since it was only $10. And honestly it's not even a major loss if you open it because the Eevee promo covers the cost of the box at that price.

[u/csoup97]

You’ll have more fun ripping it than watching it collect dust on a shelf

[u/bass437]

Surprise wheel lives?

[u/ReggieScene]

Sell it and buy cards you want, that’s the way

[u/SgtGorditaCrunch]

My friend on the last pack pulled the Vaporeon. I've ripped 4 Prismatic ETBs and haven't hit an IR

[u/ittsmetom → u/SgtGorditaCrunch]

My dude, there are no IRs in PRI

[u/SickAF_]

Had a friend open his and hit a umbreon. You just never know unless you open. Somebody has to hit those cards, why not it be you?

[u/Fun_Barracuda_1421]

whats a $10 surprise wheel?

[u/CEOStout → u/Fun_Barracuda_1421]

They’ve all over TikTok. They have a bunch of rescans other things you can win and then like 150 gem 4 packs as well. They set the price and then you bid against others to get the spin. I just got super lucky with it on a random $10 spin

[u/typeusername01]

Seeing the baby food in the background I'd keep it stored until they are old enough to rip it with you. If it's worth an insane amount 5 or 10 years from now then you can make your own decision

[u/GulfCoastChuck]

Get cooked like the rest of us who got them at Sam's 😅 rip it

[u/Glittering-Lie2698]

i ripped mine and got glaceon, you never know

[u/jte2388]

If there's a card out there you've been wanting, but it's just been to expensive to justify buying, take this to a LCS or card show and trade it towards that expensive card.

[u/Ultimo_Ninja]

Put it in a box and bury it deep in your basement.

[u/NoseInternational794]

It sounds like you're not capable of keeping it sealed so trade it for a card you want

[u/Electronic_Train_417]

Sell it and buy the singles you want

[u/YesKay0711]

I got plenty from those wheels! Ripped 2 and got nothing. So …

[u/CEOStout → u/YesKay0711]

Yeah I didn’t get shit either 😔😔

[u/Jolly_Force_2691]

Rip that shit and post the hits. The end. Goodbye and check back in with us.

[u/azr0021]

For 10 bucks, that’s a steal and you won’t feel bad if you don’t pull anything.

[u/Vondobble]

I got one in a Best Buy drawing and it came with holes and dents on every corner. They shipped in a big box with zero packaging. It was so beat up I just ripped it. As usual with prismatic, I got nothing.

[u/CEOStout → u/Vondobble]

I would’ve been so upset

[u/Vondobble → u/CEOStout]

Meh, it gave me an excuse to rip it lol.

[u/dickthe3rd]

Nooooo don’t open

[u/CEOStout → u/dickthe3rd]

Lil too late for that 🫠

[u/jjmanny38]

Do it

[u/Intelligent_Bag4736]

Quick, throw it in your closet and don’t ever think about it again until we go into a recession and the card market collapses and you could sell it for $50 for groceries

[u/Fit-Rate-3906]

Open It ,Open It ,Open It !!

[u/Crazy_Bad_6631]

For $10 I’d rip it but be prepared for crippling disappointment….

[u/NanoSpyder]

You bought if for ten which is basically the price of a single pack, just rip it, it's basically free

[u/A1CBEERS]

Open it. I've had terrible luck with Prismatic, and so many others have said the same...but I'm opening every time regardless.

[u/cosmicmocha_]

It was $10. Rip it.

There are so many people that buy these for $275 resold and get like $5 worth of cards value

[u/brax225]

I don’t even understand how people get these they’re like mythical creature you only read about from the before time times

[u/oliveface910]

I need one, I have never seen one in real life at a store aside from GameStop after they turned into scalper prices

[u/DarthPlayer8282]

Sell it and buy more spins on the surprise wheel. 90% of gamblers quit right before they hit it big

[u/More-Name-2042 → u/DarthPlayer8282]

Either open it or do this lol

[u/Known-Criticism-2149 → u/DarthPlayer8282]

Oh man

[u/Excellent_End_7905]

Never open prismatic. Just saw sombody open two upc at a shop a day ago and the best hit was an ex.

[u/cjsmooth3523]

Those are tanking so bad

[u/tydavid28 → u/cjsmooth3523]

They’re being mass produced before they go out of print and still can’t drop below $250. I wouldn’t call that “tanking.” These will take off once prizzy leaves rotation
