That's some nice pulls... 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
You're my feel-well RUclipsr. It's just so soothing to listen to you and the idea with ThriceBakedJake is genius. I's funny seeing you doing different personas.
Ripped 36 packs of Shrouded Fable yesterday and got some really nice hits, including the Duskull and Houndoom IRs. Was very pleased with this set actually. It's small and really accessible to people who want to collect it.
I've had much better luck with the ETBs. These boxes didn't get me anything nice. Can't complain too much cuz I literally bought them for the promos.
from an artwork standpoint that Kingdra is one of the most beautiful pokemon cards ever made in their almost 30 year history. its in the top 10 for sure
too bad they most of them have that defect on the top center. i got three out of five boxes with the same dent from factory
Here is an email I received from PSA regarding the "stricter grading standards": To clarify, the centering requirements have not changed. Our grading guidelines have always specified a 55/45 centering ratio. At the grader's sole discretion, a small variance may be permitted on occasion based on the card's overall eye appeal.
I understand this may be frustrating, especially if you're seeing this reflected now on the website. However, rest assured that this standard has been in place for all previous submissions, and the site has just recently been updated to reflect it.
I had the same experience with the lack of pulls. Opened 3 Kingdra boxes and got nothing out of the packs. Turned me off from the set after that.
The collectible sets, in my experience seem to have less variety. I dunno if that's intentional because they're assumed more at TCG players perhaps? I really don't know, but I've seen my friends have fantastic luck with these etbs
The damage in the middle at the top of the kingdra is very common defect on the Irish market boxes.
Love the Promos‼️🔥💥
I started buying the ETBs seeing they were discounted. Been happy with the pulls and lots of fun opening the packs with the kids. I haven't been able to find those boxes though. Love the Kingdra.
I went to my local Target an hour ago and picked up my first SF ETB @ $40. I pulled two Special Arts (Dusclops & Xerotic’s Machinations) along with 1 EX, Munkidori. A win in my books despite not finding anything else at the store.
NGL watching this made me feel a little better about going 0/6 on packs from the Iono carton last week.
Oh i would love these boxes! Amazing promos
I had my eye on both of these a week before they went wild out of nowhere, but am really showing my newness to the hobby. I was being "sensible" and sticking to my budget, but figured I could wait a week because it was Shrouded Fable. Now it's impossible to get anywhere...
I also think the Kingambit is super nice, but obviously it's just lacking the popularity factor.
They did the kingambit box dirty, it's smaller, has 3 or 4 packs instead of 5, and the promo is nowhere near the other 2. What the hell is a kingambit anyways 😂
@zucro… 4 packs, I got one for $20, so it seemed OK and I bought it.
My ordered Kingdra EX box arrived yesterday. Same scenario with no pulls out of the packs, but at least the Kingdra itself looks super clean and has great centering.
My only hit in my kingdra ex box was the promo, and it too was a binder copy
by time i even realized these existed they had vanished from all local markets lol only to reappear 3x 4x higher , these 2 promos are absolutely deadly
Thrice bakey jakey would be shaking his head at this opening
I have opened a bunch of these and notice unfortunately a horizontal print line runs across the back side of the cards way too much.
Literally saying in the last video that the Persian got bought out, and now saying that the Shrouded Fable cards are rising "slowly" ...
The booster bundles are the way with shrouded fable..1 box 2 sirs!another box 1 sir 2 ars.
You convinced me to go to my local store and not buy any shrouded lol
I bought a case of these boxes to open when it was first released for $180. I had an extra Greninja box and gave it to my nephew thinking I can just get another for $30. I was shocked when I saw the market price. Still, I decided to buy another case at the then price at $250. Now a case is about $500. Really!? It's been like a month. What a craze.
That’s my experience with 4 of these boxes. 😢😂
And that's just about my luck with Dreaded Fable.😂 I've opened hundreds of packs and still haven't pulled not 1 single SIR! I even recently opened 2 Pokémon Center ETBs, still nothing!
They are REALLY good promos!
Cresselia IR is so beautiful!
a wise man once said “keep it sealed” 😂
99% of collectors quit before they get their big hit!
That’s ridiculous. There should be some kind of pull in each box. On to the next!
you know what all the stats say, prismatic and shrouded have the same pull rates
I ordered 2 boxes from GameStop yesterday and orders got canceled😢
standard shrouded fable experience XD
I graded both. I swear they are perfect. I got PSA 9's on both.
Might be worth the resubmission if they are really clean
I just sold my collection for 13k, and a 6k profit. I enjoyed the hobby, but the market speculation has consumed me and it started to impact my day to day, constantly looking for product
Ppl didn’t care about chilling reign or fusion strike at all really and now look how much booster boxes are worth.. I like the temporal forces IR/SIR and you can get booster boxes on Pokémon center still. Bet it goes up in 5 years as they always do
Brutal pull rates. I opened these boxes at release and got one ex 😂
These were at my Walmart for many weeks lol.
I have 12 greninjas, 2 kingdras, and 12 kingambits. My favorite set.
I actually like shrouded fable
I know it is tragic that kingdra is not a psa 10 contender but the way you say it sounds sarcastic 😅😂
I’ll take the promos if you don’t want them. Only half kidding haha
One of my Kingdra boxes had two Kingdras in it.
These restocked at gamestop today lol
That's why he's opening them, The profit went down might as well 🤣
We need to get your facts straight target is charging $139 for them and they’re sold out
THOSE PROMOS!
Had 2 ETBs and 3 of those other sets... had 2 hits..
I do not like any promo cards that come stuck in the plastic like that.i had a promo cards recently and the cardboard cutout was digging into the promo card it's upsetting to see that¡!
recently got a box for 48 bucks after a 15 dollar coupon from ebay hoping to get a good copy of the Promo so I can add to my collection.
Shrouded Fable is not an expensive product.
THAT promo card is the expensive product.
Yet. I’ve been hoarding it. It will grow.
That's why I will never buy shrouded fable. Just buy singles.
Yeah I’m pretty I didn’t get anything when I opened my greninja box😂but l gave it another shot on a booster bundle & pulled the perian😭
The exaggeration for psa 10s nowadays is overrated. 😅 its cool and all but its not the end of the world. It just makes them better for non business owner collectors and players to actually use the cards instead of sitting in slabs on a shelf as a display.
That's not a corner on the Kingdra
This is why Shrouded Fable sucks, not the cards in the set but the pull rates 😔
The hobby is cooked
Reminds me of Darkness Ablaze, lol
I have a mela sir psa 10 with the exact same damage your kingdra has on the top middle. You can even see it in the picture of the scan on psa's cert site. I dont believe that is damage. I feel like its more of a factory cutting error.
sent a mew with a dent like kindra got a 10 was scared for almost two months
Ouch 🙈
Bro I saw these in stock with tons in stock and didn’t grab one. Months ago but still
Its weird that a company has to tell you well your card is a ten worth alot of money whatttt and a little damage is trash lol who cares the card looks really good to me
I thought he said the market is crashing a few days ago so why doesn't he wait for the crash to buy them?
Because he is making content??
@roberthancock6870 so he can't wait for the crash because he's making content? No worries buster 🤣
@@FlickSwitchGo I don't understand your point here 😂
@@roberthancock6870 you told me the reason he can't wait for the market to crash (like he predicted) is because he is making content. If anything I don't understand your reasoning to my question. 😆
@@FlickSwitchGo did he ever say he wasn't gonna buy product? Do you know how much he paid for it? Do you know when he bought it?
All corners are like this under light😄
Not true bro lol
@robinyang7604 I have opened over 200 of these boxes...so yeah...
Just grab the card, hold it under the light, move it and observe it from an other angle.
@ why you self reporting scalping these boxes? And also I opened one kingdra box and the corners were perfect. You might’ve scalped a bad batch bud
@@robinyang7604 I'm scalping nothing. I have connections to distrubitors but that's a whole another story.
Absolutely not, your top to bottom center is atrocious. 🤦♂️
Oh no, my card has some very minor damage! Now I cannot enjoy them at all anymore!
Can't enjoy them for just the art after all. HAS to be in a slab saying it's PSA10 so it's worth a lot of money.
It's the only way to enjoy pokemon cards after all.
Who cares about just having a cool card
first
