Are there any patterns you can see in those boxes?
Watch next: Testing if graded slabs cause damage to sealed packs ruclips.net/video/bqSh20Kr7Ho/видео.html
Only pattern i saw is that all SR were on the right side of the box. Maybe its a thing?
You're bad for this hobby, making videos like this for clout 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Every Japanese and Korean box can be weighed, they are very easy to weigh. I don't normally do the insert ones though. Been doing it for years. Before anyone comments mine are always labeled light when selling.
Pat what's your po box address
Is it just me or did the first 2 have 15 hits?
I find it weird how Japanese packs no longer contain card inserts that prevented this weighing situation. I know people got around it but at least it made things a bit more difficult. Now it turned into a free-for-all. Also, Pat. Don't lie. We all know you just wanted to open more of this awesome set! Lmao.
Haha, it was a double duty video - reveal the truth and open more of a fun set! 😁
The answer is Japanese cards didn't really start to be faked until recently I started with Japanese after my vintage days and when I started just about a year ago boxes were going for 50$ plus 24-30$ shipping and you never had to worry because it came directly from Osaka from a reputable distributor
The Japanese market it totally different to the international 1
those code cards did nothing to help
I just got back into Pokemon cards after about 25 years away from it. Its absolutely insane how dark the underbelly of this hobby can get. As far as people scalping, stealing etc..
yes it takes away a lot of fun just because you always have to look behind the offer and hopefully it will be a sealed original product without scalping or manipulation through weighing etc. :(
YESSSS, please weigh evolving skies when it comes out, cause I see people locally selling single packs of English sets and I feel like they could be weighed, even though a green code is heavier than a white code, I still wonder!! Thanks Pat this video was awesome!!
I got scammed a lot buying singles, packs were weighted for sure
I think that only works at japanese sets, what scammers do at ours sets is open a booster box (wich usually has a certain number of hits) and when they take the hits just sell the other packs, so if u buy single packs u still can have a hit but is way difficult because of that.
You can still weigh them I'm pretty sure that the packs that contain full arts are still heavier, could be wrong but.... The way they make the textured cards makes them heavier still, so unless the code cards in those are even lighter they probably weigh a fraction more
Can’t weigh. I did a test with my brother. The code cards are weighted to throw it off. One I opened a holo on a “heavy” pack that was 1.5 grams heavier than a rainbow rare. What actually happens is these people buy a couple booster boxes. They grab a random pack and open until they hit the rainbow or full art trainer. Then sell the other 15-20 maybe even 30 packs depending on how “lucky” they are (I say lucky because F*** people selling out their booster boxes knowing the only valuable pull is gone)
@@chiefbig6459 u have to determine the variables.they most definately are weighable.heavy is only guaranteed hit in 3 card packs.10 card packs is more tricky. you have to figure it out.
As always, the transparency and honesty rocks. Thanks for passing on the info and keeping it real.
You can absolutely weight any and all Japanese packs from modern era. I have done it for my own self to see because I wanted to make sure I don’t buy from someone scamming me and ya it’s extremely easy to weight them so PSA do not buy single Japanese packs from eBay please don’t you will get light packs!
I sell loose packs on eBay and I would never recommend anyone buy loose Japanese packs from any source.
I have one source on Amazon that I buy japanese packs loose from because I always get hits, I'm afraid to buy anywhere else
only detective pikachu promo packs because of all holos :D
I've been getting Japanese Sun and Moon booster boxes for a month or two and completed sm10, sm10b, sm11a with one booster box each! Not including secret rares, I was incredibly surprised
Honestly the realest Pokemon tuber out there! You always ask relative questions and ones which benefit the community. You are always looking out for the smaller guy which is rare for someone as successful as you, we all appreciate you man ❤️
No
Realest?
Thank you so much for that!! The wife and I are new to the scene but always thought this was something that was do-able. We eventually got a scale because we got screwed here now there. Now we’re only buying Lost origins, silver tempest atm but did notice when ST first came out we weighed every pack in 1 box and they were weighable. I heard they fixed that but who knows for sure.. thanks!!
This really helped a lot man, thanks! Know I can be more careful when buying singles.
People gonna start getting weighing scales when they gonna buy Pokémon cards now
They already have
Thank u for spreading this knowledge; u have been a huge boost to the pokecommunity here on RUclips! 💪
Buying in box or on store will be the safest way, if your planning on opening some packs.
Hey mukKi!
@@ihpokemonopenings Sup Isaiah !
I watched a couple of your vids, but today you've earned my sub! Your vids deserves bigger ranges! All the best!
Thanks so much!
I appreciate all that you do for the hobby I just recently got into it for my grandson I’m also here in Florida so grateful for all the Info you’ve been giving me keep up the great work
The third box you opened had 2 SR cards which is possible but rare, nice box! Also thanks as always for this information and congrats on the hits.
This popped up on my feed, glad I watched it was very informative and helpful!!
Holy cow. Thank you for this information. Ive been thinking of getting specifically eevee heroes packs and am glad i didnt now. Was already cautious about things online and this just shows more why.
Thank you Pat for another very informal video! I also hope this brings a lot of awareness to the community so that buyers can be careful. Appreciate you Pat and keep up the great work!
Hi
Amazing video! I always buy sealed boxes never singles but I know people that buy singles and I’m going to share your video with them. Keep them coming!
I like this video!! Thanks so much Pat! This was informative, but I enjoyed it a ton!
Great video. I just started collecting and this was very helpful.
Thanks for the heads up! I was gonna pull the trigger on some English Pokémon GO loose booster packs. Guess I'll have to stick with the boxes/sets/tins....
Love your mystery box videos, can't wait for it to come out!
I appreciate your channel because you are more informative about how packs are and cards.
I’ve thought about getting some Japanese boxes to open on my channel! Something about Japanese cards are just so cool to me.
Great video, Pat. It's really got me thinking about the Final Fantasy TCG packs I open. There's a foil in every pack so individual packs are probably similar weights, but as there are 1 or 2 full art packs in a 36 pack booster box, can those specific packs be identified? It usually uses a plain foil rather than having a holo pattern, so does that have a weight bearing? You've got me thinking about it... but i'm guessing they'll all be too similar to tell.
Definitely good to know. With Rayquaza being my favorite pokemon, I've been thinking of buying some Blue Sky Stream. I've never been into japanese cards so it'll definitely save me some money not getting scammed. Love your vids. Keep it up!
This kind of info is greatly appreciated. Scammers already know all the tactics to rip people off. Newer collectors need to educate themselves with this kind of info to protect themselves.
Another step beyond what you showed here is that most Japanese boxes usually only have one "special rare" card, whether it be an alt art or rainbow. The scammers weigh the packs, rip the heavies until they pull that one card then they may pepper in one of the leftover heavies per X amount of packs they're selling so they don't blatantly look like they're ripping you off.
PSA: If you're going to buy loose packs, make sure it's from a reputable source like a trusted game shop or subscription box. Always safer to save up those extra dollars and just buy a sealed box.
Thanks Pat! You always deliver epic content! Both entertaining and educational.
Thanks for letting us know about this issue.
Thank you for such an in-depth video! I opted for a Japanese fusion strike box recently, have yet to open.
Thank you for the info! Can't imagine how many people have already been sold light packs...
I haven't collected pokemon cards since the 90s but i still enjoy watching theses vids.. you do it with so much passion and authenticity im glad i found you 😁
Why I personally dont like to buy loose packs.
Thank you very much for going thru that experience for us, it shines light on a huge issue and therefore we'll have to rely on purchasing from more honest sources going forward.
If this is true, I’m not buying packs on eBay ever
You should never buy loose packs online anyway *unless* its from a seller that you really trust that has a reputation to uphold.
it is. He did it right in front of us. make me wonder about pretty much every other set......
Ye lol
Werid how I pulled multiple secret rares from lots of single packs I bought off of eBay a few months ago.
@@blueyfilmzz thats awesome and great that you found an honest seller but implying it doesn't happen is foolish.
Now that we know certain boxes have sr and certain boxes don’t I wonder if people are weighing boxes to se which ones have a slight heavier difference.
I think that wouldn't work. I think overall the weight of the box wouldn't change very much by such slight differences
Great video and thank you for the information!!
I'm looking to start collecting Japanese cards again and I'm at a complete loss to where I can buy them from a reputable source. Where do you get your boxes from?
Great idea! You should do it with all the sets. 😁
I saw some info about this a while ago with Magic cards. At least with Magic, I believe once box patterns had been mapped, those using the system would open a couple of 'reference' packs in order to find out where on the map they were, and once they had established their position they could figure out which of the rest were the high value packs.
Just subscribed! Huge collector and always looking for more!
That's very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for the transparency 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello deep pocket monster, but man your vids are so awesome to watch and I enjoyed every second of the vid. Your so good in making vids and talking and making people happy. Keep up the good work!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
10, 12, and 28 all had hits, but we would need more data to confirm these to be hot spots.
and 5
Great video!!I've noticed more Japanese packs for sale recently,
Love this. Subscribed
youre vids are like science experiments! it helped a lot thanks
Love this!! Thank you for the great information
Omg I love the vids keep up the great work!!
The english cards usually have different weighted code cards to make the weights similar, since I didn't see code cards that could be a reason for the weight differences we see
I guess a justified use for weighing packs could be for youtubers to sort of stage their videos in an entertaining manner if that makes sense
Wow that’s crazy thank you for showing this 💯
Great experiment to help dispel these myths! Interesting watch brother 🔥
Yeah, some vintage sports cards sets you can predict what’s in the box and where by opening the first pack because the sheets were cut and inserted in order. I still remember being excited to see a Duckworth card because that meant Jordan was next in the pack back in like 1989.
Vmax cards tend to be sorted pretty close to one another and also the stack that the Vmax containing packs also contained a full art card pack as well in 2/3 boxes you opened. Also the Holos seem to sort together as well, so if you have a lot of holos in the stack, you likely won't get a Vmax or a full art card pack in that stack.
It makes sense for it to have heavy packs. I’m very curious if you going to weigh Evolving Skies. Good vid once again 👍🏻
Really interesting video to watch. All modern Japanese packs are weighable. There is no need to map this box. Only buy loose packs if you’re doing art sets. Stay safe everyone!
Thanks for the heads up!
It didn't show that the box was mapped but it definitely showed that the secret rare comes on the right side of the box and after 18 usually,just what I noticed.
Just found you! Really enjoy your videos!
Thankyou for doing this video.Its nice to know
Thank you for this insight . It makes me very unhappy the way people treat each other now with this pack weighing situation 😕
I have done this myself with booster boxes I open. Although it's not 100%, the lightest packs pretty much have nothing good in them. I really don't like it (been burned hard when ordering a bunch of individual booster packs from Japan), but it is cool when I open a box and can save all the cool cards for the end so the pulls just get better as I open more.
i love this channel because good quality pokemon cards and it got me back into pokemoning
OMG this vid was awesome keep up the great work!
Cheers for the heads up Pat
Love the feeling of opening packs
same but now im obsessed
Dang! Righteous video Pat!
The first video I saw of you wasn’t Pokémon related so I had know idea you were a Pokémon channel
Shocking, and kind of sad. Thank you for your lesson👍
I appreciate the videos keep it up😊
Hey I love your vids but where do you get you’re Pokémon packs?
I LOVE your Snom skateboard! He is my favorite pokemon, he is just so cute! 🥰❤
unlike other youtubers who just mention what to collect for best investment or how much money made out of selling cards. you are so great to mention the dark side of the hobby. keep up the great job!
With your first method, if we are talking strictly in terms of hit, we would need to open at least 10 Boosters to see if there is any pattern, and the second method of sorting the packets is scary.
I often weigh packs and sell the light packs as light packs for a cheap price.
I already knew that you can weigh packs for hits because I had 2 packs of the same set (i forget which one at moment) where one was heavier than the other, the lighter one was a standard hollow, the heabier one a hollow palkia
Amazing content bud!!! You are amazing!!
Great vid, Pat. So lucky with that Medicham SR. My son just started collecting the Panini Fortnite cards and they're actually pretty cool. Does your son collect cards as well?
He does, he's more of a Gold Card collector versus sets or even specific types of pokemon, which is a pretty cool niche.
Love this idea.Another great vid Pat.
Awesome Video as Always!!
Thank you for this great information.
I would love to see the packs all weighed and ordered from heaviest to lightest, to see if there is a specific weight that you could say that anything lighter is a dud and anything heavier is a hit. Primarily as a frame of reference for people buying single packs. Because if I bought 10 packs, it would be hard for me to know what is heavy and what is light for each individual pack.
Chiming in late, but I opened 3x boxes of Korean 151 set, 1st box I didn't pay attention, but 2nd and 3rd box were very obviously mapped exactly same. I noticed weird pattern already with 2nd box, and then I opened 3rd box exactly the way so that I would open the SR pack as final one of the set, and it was exactly as I assumed it would be. Obviously I won't say how it was mapped but it was mapped.
Another thing scammers do is open packs from box until they hit the SR and then rest of the packs are set aside and sold as loose packs. Rule of averages says that most of the time they hit SR middle of the way so they can still sell half of the packs as loose packs with no SR. This is why Japanese and Korean packs should only be bought in sealed boxes and never loose packs. Good thing is sealed boxes are much cheaper than English counterpart and you're additionally guaranteed some hits in each box (but also limited number of good hits).
It really sux that people open and sell the packs that there's no hits in. Me and my daughter can't afford a full booster box and we buy loose packs instead makes sense now that we pull really bad cards 🙄
I am sorry for you man...I know how you feel I bought a bunch of singular packs and they were all duds... :(
Thanks for the info brother I had no idea
That speed up sound of opening a pack is so satisfying
Hi, not sure if you've already mentioned it but WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR SHIRT?
Some people used to take scales to the walmarts and targets.
Some random guy with a printing machine: "Okay guys we need to print some common cards and less rare cards."
People on the internet:
the same thing actually happened to me. i ordered 10 eevee heroes packs from someone because booster boxes for eevee heroes are expensive as we know and when i got them i was very disappointed. only came out the other side with 2-3 holos
I'm not going to deny I made a huge mistake with this! I live in Japan and the packs sell like hot cakes so hard to buy anywhere. Found a small shop selling individual packs behind a glass cheaply and thought wow! Bought a bunch of them to find they'd all be duds....I was so disappointed. I thought people that opened the packs only for the rare ones and sold off the dud packs but didn't know it was so easy... :( Now I have a massive ton of singular common cards lol
There use to be a card shop near me that would weigh packs. They'd opened the packs and sell the cards and keep the lighter packs in the box for sale. They'd also knowing buy stolen cards to. It got out that one of their employees was stealing from kids and selling the cards to the shop and they knew he was doing it. So they shut down to try to avoid being sued.
You can use pipeline metal detectors on the Japanese packs and those that the detector reacts to, are usually the ones with the rares or higher.
BTW Pat i found you can Weigh modern sets i did a test run of this on Chilling Reign case i found if you know what weight your looking for you can hit about 90% of the time the only cards i could not 100% map was the SR or ult art its weight can very alot from lightest to mid range and was not found often in the heaviest packs i always suggest buying sealed be it single blister or 3 packs.
At the start the edit was brilliant
Another idea you should of done with the scale was write down the the weights of each pack with yellow sticky paper to see if it made any difference if it was heavy or light that would of had a rare card in it.
Pat while modern era English cards are not able to be weighed efficiently, the recent reprint of DAA and VIV for various collection boxes have the code cards rushed and not properly filtered. That means that you can get a UR in green code packs and a regular rare in white code packs. This is not a for sure way of weighing them completely but, allows for about 1/3 URs to weighed out because the heavier green code is in some of the UR packs and the lighter white codes being in some regular rare packs.
Yeah I've seen that in some of the Chilling Reign packs - green code cards, but an ultra still inside. Not sure what to make of that on the Pokemon company's side of things.
Thanks for the discount at tcg stadium!!
So interesting... Never realized that
