Every box has a SR so not guaranteed a Alt art but full art trainers are SRs and that aroma lady was your hit of this box! Even with the weird numbers being missing that box was fine because the SR is the full art trainer!
I wanted to add something to this because you are correct what you said but with the serial number stuff! In each and every booster box from what I know anyways they do that because I think if I'm correct they need to have the same matching serial number for each booster pack in the same booster box if the serial numbers are different than that means that the booster box was tampered with and they mixed up different packs from different booster boxes in that one. I hope this makes sense! And hopefully I am not just telling lies.
@@miguelsosa9084 The box certainly was tampered with. For all we know is that they messed up putting these back together and never meant to hit it with the Korean. The people doing this are doing this EN MASSE and probably are working round the clock with thousands of boxes to filter out the hits. The box could have had a SR or Alt of any kind and replaced with Aroma(doubtful) but the box was tampered with and the person could have slid that card into the box. I don't know why they would do that but I know the full art female trainers prices have dropped off a cliff. I myself am obsessed with Aroma Lady, but I don't know if she is even medium tier price point as she is basically a side NPC in the handheld Pocket Monster games.
Howdy, Japanese collector here. Your guaranteed 1 SR or better in each box. The trainer SR is your box hit. Missing codes don't always mean its a scam box sometimes that just happens. Identifying scam boxes is pretty difficult for new people so the only way to tell if its a legit box before opening one is.. Box weight (each set has a different weight), Wrapping Seal line thickness & placement (a rewrap seal line will be thicker compared to a legit box & the seal line placement on a legit box will 99% of the time be exactly the same on every box). Finally the wrap itself, scammers are yet to fully replicate the plastic wrap the Pokémon center uses. There's will be a thicker plastic & shiny, usually very tight on the box, it will rip like paper once removed. Legit wrap is thin. loose on a box 80% of the time, it will feel like a slightly thicker saran wrap & be stretchy. Main point is always buy from a good dealer & always use reference photos of a legit box before purchasing. Hope that helps
I did some quick napkin match and can estimate I’ve touched between 70-80,000 Japanese booster boxes in the past 3 years - never received a complaint from a customer about a resealed box … had one (new) supplier send me resealed boxes one time and I swear they even have a different smell - I fired him immediately… with the background out of the way…. I Can confirm with chat- guaranteed SR or UR (or equivalent) and that’s it. It can be a trainer card or a pokemon or a golden energy/item … you got a SR trainer here as far as the codes go on the packs, they should all match each other BUT sometimes packs don’t have a number at all. Just bad quality control. We’ve opened boxes from sealed cases and have looked at packs - some just get missed The only thing regarding the serial numbers that you can be SURE of is there should only be one serial number per box…if any packs in a box have a differing number from each other , tampering occurred If you ever get into Korean cards, they do not have any guaranteed rates- and the newer sets don’t even have plastic wrapping anymore. Not sure who had that bright idea
that aroma lady is your one SR per box. Not a bad hit, but once you see one full art or better, thats your one big hit per box with japanese, unless you get VERY lucky and get 2 full arts or better
So you have 3 boxes, your first box don’t have a hit(scammed), second box korean( scammed), your third box, aroma lady was your hit, japanese boxes is guaranteed a sr or sr or scr for old box so, .aroma lady was your hit. Overall, you got scammed on the first and second boxes, and the third box( in my opinion i think its also been re-sealed but aroma lady is not a big hit so they just leave it there) is legit.
It sucks to see, good people get played like this and yet, he’s still starting so positive and giving it to us, raw. Keep your head up bro, good things come to those that are trustful, loyal and amazing hearted people. 💯
Eevee Heros as well as every single set from Sword and Shield back through any and all sets, that 1 SIR or Special/Secret Rare card is guaranteed per box, and 3 RRR or Ultra Rare cards V/VMAX/etc. I bought and have sealed every box from the Best of XY up through Sw and Sh Space Juggler. I immediately dipped out of collecting Japanese prior to the pandemonium hitting these products. I've opened thousands of Japanese booster boxes and never once had a opened box or resealed box.... granted I bought and ripped from 2015 - 2021. You can EASILY weigh the heaviest 3 - 4 packs out of the set to pull the SR/SIR out. I wouldn't buy Japanese product for nothing and NEVER and I mean NEVER EVER EVER buy loose Japanese booster packs.... EVERRRRRR. The are all weighed if they are singles. You got the SR card which is the high rarity.
You got the SR! That box is legit. That's so strange with the serial numbers being rubbed off. It's possible that the box you opened in this video had a double hit. The person that sniped it didn't realize it. I'm sorry that happened to you. I would never want anyone to experience that. I appreciate you making this video and spreading awareness and knowledge. Stay safe and see you Card Party!
@Poke Vault: you're wrong on the SN thing...i'm a japanese collector and it happened few times that the serial number were either missing or so barely visible that seemed to have been tampered with, but the boxes were fine. SN sometimes are not well printed.
Hey, Sean. Another thing that kinda threw a wrench in the whole thing was grabbing giveaway packs from the same box that was being broken. I think if you're buying into a break, you wanna see all packs be opened in that same sitting. That way there's no imaginations running wild as to what those packs that weren't opened contained. It's only right for those who bought into the event to get to see everything that box contained.
Every box of japanese Eevee Heroes is guaranteed a SR, which in this case happens to be the full art Aroma Lady. Some boxes may have double hits, usually an alt art and a full art. And it comes with 3-4 Vs and 2 Vmaxs. This box seems legit despite some of the packs serial number being rubbed off for whatever reasons. Korean boxes on the other hand are not guaranteed a SR. Small percentage of boxes have no SR hits.
I lived in Japan for 5 years and my wife was born and raised in Tokyo for 30 years, scamming is on the rise, the special boxes the ones that are smaller with ten packs ( shiny star v, vmax climax etc) are being filled with rectangular boxes of milk or juice that fit perfectly and being resealed. Def becoming more common, I’m actually going back to Tokyo in 4 months to visit the in laws if there is anything you want me to look out for.
I just went through this with the mj holding holiday boxes... literally you can tell they opened them took the good stuff and sealed it back up. I bought 14 boxes from 2 different locations and it's all over the reddit and the better business bureau. Super sad man.
im presuming the reason you got weird serials is people opened up boxes to maybe weigh the packs and then just bundled them back in whatever order and resealed the box.
I have personally never opened a Japanese box and NOT got an SR or higher so I do think it's still guaranteed. With the serial numbers on the packs, each one from the box should match. I have seen them rubbed off or simply not printed before though and still got an SR or higher. There are some really dirty tactics in japan for searching packs & resealing boxes, even worse than in the USA/UK. Some of the scammers use weighing/lights to determine where the hits are and reseal boxes with the dud packs to sell on Mercari etc (possibly where this one came from.) Also, recently boxes have been observed to be almost 'mapped' so it can be easier to guess where the hit is. Some of the reseals also look super legit and it can be hard to tell even with the box in hand. If risking buying from Mercari/rakuten etc, check seller ratings and check the seal/wrap against a box from a trusted source. If the price is too good its gonna be sketchy. Finally, it is possible to make buying from these sites safer but it is still risky so do it with that in mind
So to help you understand, with Japanese you can find the hit with texture by weighing very easy since there is no code cards. Which is why you don't ever see loose Japanese packs having a market like with English. You did get a SR so perhaps that box had 2. Believe it's garenteed to have at least 1. Full art trainers are SRs for Japanese so it won't be SAR only or alt arts like you were saying. Gotta buy from reputable sellers for sure when it comes to the volatile Japanese market
SR+ ARE NOT GUARANTEED IN EVERY JAPANESE SET! TOO MANY PEOPLE THINK THIS IS THE CASE!! In *most* of the japanese sets, you are guaranteed an SR+, but some (ie: Blue Sky Stream, another part of the evolving skies set besides Eevee Heroes) you are not. I am not sure about Eevee Heroes, but wanted to note the distinction in case people start immediately assuming they were scammed on any and all japanese sets if they dont pull one. Edit: Would also note, I have opened japanese sets that do not have a super clear serial on all of the packs. I would say that is less reliable...however if any packs have different serials, that has been messed with.
The boxes with Korean you got scammed.. That aroma lady is a box hit ( alts are not Guaranteed) That's why Japan put pull tab at the bottom of the boxes now cause of this
I was there for the live and I was shocked to see it but not surprised.. Just part of the hobby these days and it's not likely to get any better. Be safe when you're buying things out there folks.
the seller was cooltrainerryan lol. btw another pro tip for authenticating a box is if the plastic seems more crunchy and not soft, it's resealed. noticed resealed boxes will use a different plastic. buy from reputable sellers but more importantly, buy from sellers that actually get sourced boxes from the distributor so you have peace of mind. if they are not distributors ask for receipts of where/who they purchased the box from, just one of many ways to not get caught with your pants down like mr vault.
Unfortunately this hobby has many lows just as it has many highs..but overall you absolutely did the right thing shutting the break down! Appreciate the transparency throughout this whole situation and raising awareness to those that might not be aware of scams like this!
I've never seen you so sad opening a box of pokemon cards it was hard to watch. Thank God you could settle things with the person you bought the boxes from! Hope you can give it a place after this horrible experience 👏 Still this video of this scam is very teachable for people who are gonna purchase Japanese sets. But I feel terrible that you of all people get scammed during a live break 😔
No lie I bought a Japanese box of paldean dates recently opened it up and each pack was nearly cut in the bottom. Each pack had all shiny full arts and holos removed lol
Refunding was the right move. Box seems legit but if you feel funky about it then better safe than sorry. Enjoy your content ! I’m trying to get up there with you bro. Trying to make every video better than the last.
It's not your fault man. There is no sure way of guaranteeing authenticity until a box is opened. People are definitely exploiting Eevee Heroes cause once it's shipped overseas it's a lot harder to get your money back. Just try and stick to reputable sellers the best you can. That's all anyone can do.
sounds like a shiesty WhatNot deal initially. i have heard mostly negative things about dealings on there. although im reading that the origins of that deal were through CTR according to the comments below lol
The integrity that you've shown throughout this entire scenario FAR FAR FAR outweighs the perceived clout that pulling an alt art would bring. Good on you sir. It's all ready in then past for me. Live and learn. #VSFL
I bought a Korean box of eevee heros on tik tok and I ripped one of the cards and it had the correct ink. I got a rainbow umbreon vmax and an aroma girl.
Im sure you have seen it already, but you ARE guaranteed an SR, you are def not guaranteed an ALT ART. SR's can range from full arts to trainers to alt arts
Was the comment about every serial number on the inside of the pack flap needing to match every pack in the box accurate? If so, did you check them all? I did see that most were faint or none visible, but it also seemed like if you held it at a certain angle you could still read what was once there. Id be curious to know.
You are NOT guaranteed any alt arts in Japanese boxes ancient Sean’s. You ARE guaranteed 1 SR, which the aroma lady you pulled in this video was your hit of the box.
Your bugging out for no reason on that box I know you don't know any better but that Sr aroma lady was your hit i am 1000% sure but the other Korean box is definitely a scam
the amount of people scamming with eevee heroes really puts ... a really bad impression (even for those who are willing to pay) like why do people do that such a douchebag move to do to someone
I have opened a ton of korean eevee heroes! I have only ever pulled ONE! The Jolteon FA(Full Art).. got it graded; she’s a PSA10. There are so many repeats of these holos, just opening another pack of Korean Eevee Heroes would be a waste of my time; i spent too much money. I could send you a PHOTO!! Of all the Korean Eevee heroes booster boxes I opened. And i can also show you my PSA10 Jolteon V FA #079🎉 sorry for that experience 😮
The Japanese box was fine with the Aroma lady (SR) being the hit of the box. Kinda crazy you don't even know that 😂 Sucks for the Korean packs being thrown into the Japanese box tho
Every box has a SR so not guaranteed a Alt art but full art trainers are SRs and that aroma lady was your hit of this box! Even with the weird numbers being missing that box was fine because the SR is the full art trainer!
Can confirm, I bought a few boxes last year and my hit in one of my boxes was a full art aroma lady
I wanted to add something to this because you are correct what you said but with the serial number stuff!

Explain the Korean pack out of a Japanese box?

For Eevee Heroes, I opened about 9 boxes in total - only ever got one hit SR and above
So many scammers in this industry it’s crazy
So you have 3 boxes, your first box don’t have a hit(scammed), second box korean( scammed), your third box, aroma lady was your hit, japanese boxes is guaranteed a sr or sr or scr for old box so, .aroma lady was your hit.

Isn’t a SR or better per box, not a guaranteed alt art
He's thinking of the newer product I'd why he's bugging out like that but your 100% right!

The full art aroma lady was your guarenteed SR or above so it was an okay box unless there were 2 hits originally and they removed 1.
I just went through this with the mj holding holiday boxes... literally you can tell they opened them took the good stuff and sealed it back up. I bought 14 boxes from 2 different locations and it's all over the reddit and the better business bureau. Super sad man.
You did not get scammed ALL Korean cards are bright yellow borders. Any the Japanese set have not be tampered. You got a good hit with the Aroma Lady.
The Korean packs came from a Japanese box. Please reiterate how he didn't get scammed?
This sucks. I've been scammed before and it's a headache to get your money back. Sorry this happened to you buddy!
WhY aRe ThEsE CaRDs YELOOW??!
that sucks dude even the idea that it could of POSSIBLY been tampered with is unfortunate and hope it doesn't happen to anyone
When Rainbow Rare Gordie pops up, you know its a party.... LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
the aroma lady is the big hit, cards that are full arts in english count as the big hit spots in japanese so that was your guaranteed 1 card
im presuming the reason you got weird serials is people opened up boxes to maybe weigh the packs and then just bundled them back in whatever order and resealed the box.
That box was fine. The other box they probably got the big hit on the second pack then resealed it with two Korean packs. Alts are not guaranteed

That's why Japan put pull tab at the bottom of the boxes now cause of this
I think the aroma lady was considered a SR, you’re guaranteed a SR in an eevee heroes box and that includes full arts and trainers
This sucks, I've only experienced a scam once & I lost out on a $200 pack because of it 😓 sucks people are put here scamming. 😤

Don't think that umbreon vmax is a $50 card.. more like $3 or $15 around tournament times, at least last year
I've never seen you so sad opening a box of pokemon cards it was hard to watch. Thank God you could settle things with the person you bought the boxes from! Hope you can give it a place after this horrible experience 👏 Still this video of this scam is very teachable for people who are gonna purchase Japanese sets. But I feel terrible that you of all people get scammed during a live break 😔
the SR hit was Aroma Lady, atleast you didn't get Gordie'd - not guaranteed an alt art per box
When Rainbow Rare Gordie pops up, you know its a party.... LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
Secret Rares in Japanese product can be anything from a Full Art up to an Alt Art.
Looks like this was a legit box Aroma Lady full art is considered an SR. You’re not guaranteed an Alt Art.
I remember back in 2016, japanese boxes were the safest alternative way to get pokemon cards it's sad to see this happen
No lie I bought a Japanese box of paldean dates recently opened it up and each pack was nearly cut in the bottom. Each pack had all shiny full arts and holos removed lol
Refunding was the right move. Box seems legit but if you feel funky about it then better safe than sorry. Enjoy your content ! I’m trying to get up there with you bro. Trying to make every video better than the last.
Thank u for the education, scamming is just getting worse and worse
Alt arts or SARs are not guaranteed but you did pull the SR which is guaranteed in a box.
From what I’ve seen the guarantees are 4 Vs, 2 VMax, and 1 SR
That was crazy, people suck! I saw the live, i cant stand scammers!
It's not your fault man. There is no sure way of guaranteeing authenticity until a box is opened. People are definitely exploiting Eevee Heroes cause once it's shipped overseas it's a lot harder to get your money back. Just try and stick to reputable sellers the best you can. That's all anyone can do.
sounds like a shiesty WhatNot deal initially. i have heard mostly negative things about dealings on there. although im reading that the origins of that deal were through CTR according to the comments below lol
Was in this break, thx for the quick resolution! I’ve been super observant with all products since then ever more so lol.
Korean cards and Indonesian cards are made in the same factory as the japan cards. That was probably a quality control problem
The integrity that you've shown throughout this entire scenario FAR FAR FAR outweighs the perceived clout that pulling an alt art would bring. Good on you sir. It's all ready in then past for me. Live and learn. #VSFL
Worse part of this hobby, wish we didn't have to deal with so many scams! Thanks for taking one for the team, PokeVault!
Did the wrapping on the boxes have little vent holes in the plastic?
We didnt see you pull the pack from the box. Looked like there was another Korean pack in the box. What happened to that?
It’s always tough to see when people get scammed but, you you handled it wonderfully. We learn and move on! Keep up the great work Vault!
Dude the scam world is crazy and unreal
I bought a Korean box of eevee heros on tik tok and I ripped one of the cards and it had the correct ink. I got a rainbow umbreon vmax and an aroma girl.
Aroma lady means the box had the hit and the Japanese box (not the Korean pack one lol) was possibly legitimate.
This video is real box. First box obviously fake looking at the outside shrink before you opened it. Only order from trusted japanese sellers.
Seems nearly impossible to trust overseas products with so much scamming happening
Im sure you have seen it already, but you ARE guaranteed an SR, you are def not guaranteed an ALT ART. SR's can range from full arts to trainers to alt arts
This should make eevee heroes prices plummet. I wouldn’t buy an eevee heroes box now after watching how they can be repackaged.
Nothing wrong with this box only get 1 secret rare pre box (aroma lady) and there a chance it’s a alt art
Was the comment about every serial number on the inside of the pack flap needing to match every pack in the box accurate? If so, did you check them all? I did see that most were faint or none visible, but it also seemed like if you held it at a certain angle you could still read what was once there. Id be curious to know.
Yes serial numbers on the packs should match if they are from the same box
Hats off Vault for sorting this mess up in a god way!
NO, JAPANESE BOOSTER BOXES HAS A GUARANTEED SR, IN FACT IT HAS A GUARANTEED 5 PULLS IF LUCKY, 6.
Never an Alt art guaranteed. !! Your SR. Was Aroma lady. Box seemed legit. 🤘🏼
Don’t feel bad g, we love we are rooting for you and just keep going, lesson learned❤️
Respectful call you made don't ever question you gut feeling 💯 ❤
knowledge is power, more added to the elderly powers.
You are NOT guaranteed any alt arts in Japanese boxes ancient Sean’s. You ARE guaranteed 1 SR, which the aroma lady you pulled in this video was your hit of the box.
where did you buy that box?
Your bugging out for no reason on that box I know you don't know any better but that Sr aroma lady was your hit i am 1000% sure but the other Korean box is definitely a scam
the amount of people scamming with eevee heroes really puts ... a really bad impression (even for those who are willing to pay)
like why do people do that such a douchebag move to do to someone
The Full art trainer was the SR! I think the box was good!!!!
Always super sad when this happens
Does it count as Scam?!
I have opened a ton of korean eevee heroes! I have only ever pulled ONE! The Jolteon FA(Full Art).. got it graded; she’s a PSA10.
There are so many repeats of these holos, just opening another pack of Korean Eevee Heroes would be a waste of my time; i spent too much money. I could send you a PHOTO!! Of all the Korean Eevee heroes booster boxes I opened. And i can also show you my PSA10 Jolteon V FA #079🎉 sorry for that experience 😮
The Japanese box was fine with the Aroma lady (SR) being the hit of the box. Kinda crazy you don't even know that 😂
Sucks for the Korean packs being thrown into the Japanese box tho
I don't blame you for your decision, you could have easily made a different decision and potentially made multiple people uneasy about it.
This is why I'll never touch jp. It goes through too many hands before you receive it in the us.
It's bound to happen right? And the silver lining is you now have come across it and are better for it in how to handle it
Really like the Korean cards mainly because of the yellow borders
Nowadays it is almost impossible to prevent all scams. Sorry it happened, not your fault
Thanx Pokevault for debunking the junk! Taking the hit for us all to learn from. Appreciate you. ✌️
I want to open some Korean packs for my PC. But sucks that you got ripped off
The aroma lady was the box hit.
Handled it well Vault. Good for exposing it.
Makes me worry little bit as I have roughly 100+ packs of Japanese 2 open in April hope they are legit
Thanks for content and the insight

Legit box, you had an SR that’s all your guaranteed, not guaranteed an alt art.
Sean you did the correct thing you are appreciated for all the great things you do
Truly sucks bro. In my opinion you dont need to apologize. Scumbags are out there and all we can do is are best to avoid this.
SR is guranteed every box. lucky if u pulled 2 hits.
Stay strong! From the ashes, the VSFL rises stronger!

Regular Umbreon VMAX is worth $50?
Sorry again Sean, you’re a class act and rest assured the community is with you!
What? Where can I sell all my Japanese Umbreon Vmax for $50???
That was not fun for you I'm sure. I think you handled it perfectly though. Proving you are professional when the time requires it.
The umbreon vmax is like 3 dollars
