    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.

    • @Gilliebeany
      @Gilliebeany 17 часов назад

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @zucro691
      @zucro691 День назад +1

      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 😂

    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.

    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.
