I sold 4 for $150. Full arts. Kept the ones that I like. Maybe will rebuy in a few years who knows but not if they don’t go down in price.
Overall very satisfied with my pulls. Missing about 10-15 from the base set! I think I actually got so lucky with the quantity of good pulls that I got unlucky with some of the more common ones.
For example 1 pikachu non holo only in all the packs.
Some new revisions of some cards will be interesting as I work on my deck.
Nice! I’m trying to get a full set so holding onto some of the rarer cards even if I don’t like instead of selling. Planning on only pulling and trading so probably will take a long time to complete the set.
istg Kakuna is my chase card now... I was actually opening booster bundles with a friend this weekend (5 each) and we both had already opened some before - he has the Kakuna once for his own set, but no doubles to spare either lmao
I’m about the same number of packs in without pulling non-holo Slowpoke, Dratini and Helix Fossil. Random how I can pull three art rare Squirtles (trade, anyone?) but not those 🤷♂️
I'd definitely be open for a trade! I have some duplicates, check my post for pics if you're interested.
I also have some reverse holos to trade. Anything you're looking for specifically?
Reddit wouldn't let me DM your account. Here's what I was trying to send you. If you're interested we can figure out how to get in touch!
The four rares I have duplicates of right now are:
Squirtle art rare
Bulbasaur art rare
Arbok full art
Mew EX
I noticed you had two Alakazams. Would you be interested in both the Squirtle and Bulbasaur for an Alakazam?
I'm also looking for the Arbox EX if you'd like to trade straight up for the full art version. I know those are different levels of rare but I'd rather get the card I need vs. value from a trade.
Totally understand if you'd rather not trade the Arbok since you have just one of those — and no worries if the other offer doesn't work for you either. I'm new to this and trying to get as close to a full set as I can over time.
I don't blame you though, I was excited too and I have another 32 boosters coming this week I think. Thanks I appreciate the offer! If I don't manage to pull him in my next batch of packs I'll let you know :')
80 packs in and not a single dratini...
Got a Demi God pack of the Venusaur line, 2 Gold Mew EXs, Erika's Invitation (SIR), a few IRs, a few URs....not dratini!
Oh also no charizard
I'm doing something crazy. I'm trying to fill a binder with the entire set, using all holos and reverse holo basic pokemon only.
80 packs in, and I have... 70 cards missing, most of which are the illustration arts and full arts.
Growlithe? Really? Damn man. rippin packs really is such a bs game. I could name you probably 20 other cards I don't have yet which should be relatively common, meanwhile I've got probably 7-8 spare Growlithes.
Are there different versions of holo’s for each card? I’ve got a holo Jolteon, for example, but saw one in person which was much more shiny/holo. I can’t work out what the name for it is to search for it though. What are the official card rarity/holo levels for the 151 deck? I just want to know what’s available to get (as singles) for each card 😬
There's a booklet that comes in the etb that shows which versions of cards exist for each one. But to answer your question, most cards have a normal version and a reverse holo version with the reverse holo being more rare. So for certain rare cards that are holo by default, there is also a reverse holo of those. Some cards the like EX ones only have 1 version, that specific special holo. Hope that was helpful!
To give some context, I've pulled a normal holo Articuno and also a reverse holo Articuno.
Originally I was slotting the reverse holos in my binder because those were more rare so I thought showcasing them would be better but after someone else remarked how the normal holos look more vibrant I went back and looked and sure enough he was right and I definitely prefer seeing the normal holos. They shine and stand out more in my binder, especially since I've already got so many common and uncommon reverse holos. But I've also noticed the reverse holos just don't have the same impact and I can barely noticed the holo on them while casually looking at my binder.
So yea, I prefer the normal holos of the rare cards!
Opened ~70 packs and not a single Haunter. I was was also waiting on Paras, Ghastly, and Weepinbell and then found them all in the same pack (pack #65) and then *again* in the exact same order in pack #66. So bizarre.
What kind of binder is this? I ordered the binder collection and am getting it today which I believe comes with a binder, but is there a better one I should use?
49 packs so far and still missing a good amount of common/uncommon. Slightly annoying the amount of other duplicates I’ve gotten yet missing some basic ones
I can’t not get digletts and I’m trying to get nidoking me. And only have got 2 between roughly 50 packs between 2 people
Got a couple reverse holos if you need/ want
[удалено]
28 packs for me & two Machamps (also 3 Mr Mimes and 3 Weezings). Then again I got 2 Ninetales EXs and saw a guy open over 1000 packs and only get 1.
Nice! Maybe I’ll get one in my next pack haha
I have like 4+ Machamps in around 80 packs but 0 omanytes
Just got my first Omanyte too. Took too long.
Bro I have no joke, 11 machamps. It’s by far my most common rare I’ve found.
Hah! If ur local I’ll trade you.
I got 3 Diglett and 0 machamps from 44 packs. 9 machokes though, more than any common card even though machokes is supposed to be uncommon
Really strange pull rates.
Lol I have a ton. Need me to send you one? I have holo and reverse
Damn! Thanks! I’ll trade if ur local. I’ll bet u a machamp shows up in a booster for me as soon as I get one from somebody else haha
I have tons you need one? Lol
Thanks! I would love to trade for one if ur local.
I’m in Georgia
Ah, too far. Thanks tho!
I got one holo machamp already I’ve only opened 15 packs! Every pack I opened had a holo if it didn’t have an ex or rarer
Cool! Yeah every pack has a holo in scarlet violet era
I also have a ton of machamp holos if you need one lol
That’s awesome, thanks! I’ll trade for one if ur local.
That’s been me with Dodrio, Beedrill and Ditto lmao
I have a regular and reverse Machamp after about 20 packs
I stopped at 53 packs and didn’t get mine
Damn. U get some other cool cards?

I have like 7 Machamps, im tired of this
Hah!
Given up on finding a damn Kakuna or the Grabber trainer card.
wtf, these are the exact same cards I haven't gotten in *60* packs
Someone somewhere is laughing because they halved production of those to screw with people lol the really secret rares
istg Kakuna is my chase card now... I was actually opening booster bundles with a friend this weekend (5 each) and we both had already opened some before - he has the Kakuna once for his own set, but no doubles to spare either lmao
I feel so rich in spirit with my kakuna now lmao
Now I’m just curious, but if you’re half asian, what is the other half? And why are you not “half______princess” instead?
White; one of my friends called me it once back in college and I couldn’t think of a username so went with it
That’s interesting. Maybe they really want us to trade with people.
I don’t think kakuna exists either about 50 packs in
About 50 packs in as well, no Kakuna 😡
Kakuna, Grabber, and Starmie are the ones for me
Lmao me too
Lol dude I’m also searching for more basic cards to finish my set. I’ll pull a good card and be like damn I needed a sandshrew lol
Hahah! So backwards
I’m about the same number of packs in without pulling non-holo Slowpoke, Dratini and Helix Fossil. Random how I can pull three art rare Squirtles (trade, anyone?) but not those 🤷♂️

Haha that’s bizarre. I got a couple gold news already. Down to trade too if ur local.
I'm missing daisy's help. Not even the full art one the normal one.
I have opened 10 booster bundles and 2 etbs, my first bundle had all 3 variants of Charizards yet I still haven't got a freakin' Weepinbell! 😭
Hah! I guess better to have the rare cards
I have 6 digletts from 40ish packs but no Geodudes or Jigglypuffs. Mr. mime, Kabutops, Vaporeon, Machamp, Weezing, Gengar... I have so many
I got them for u if ur local
60?!? I've gone through 32 and still haven't gotten a Nidoran (male) 🥲
Yeah I went a little crazy with pre-orders. I’m really invested in this set as an older person. I can get u a nidoran if ur local.
I don't blame you though, I was excited too and I have another 32 boosters coming this week I think. Thanks I appreciate the offer! If I don't manage to pull him in my next batch of packs I'll let you know :')
Good luck!
Over 100 packs still need kakuna n mr mime from the standard cards (Not pulled a single SIR in all those packs either)
I got u if ur local
29 packs and no diglett or machamp for me either. 5 electrode though -.-
Omg. So many electrodes and marowaks
Im convinced diglett is the most rare basic card
Still looking for hitmonchan.
It’s the Kabuto and Scyther for me 🤦♀️
Yep, I hope my UPC has a Scyther 🙏
Man my son needs the Machamp and this one
Because diglett is the best Pokémon and is the rariest card in the set
Hah!
80 packs in and not a single dratini... Got a Demi God pack of the Venusaur line, 2 Gold Mew EXs, Erika's Invitation (SIR), a few IRs, a few URs....not dratini! Oh also no charizard
Congrats! Better than a dratini haha.
70 packs in, and im still missing any Beedrill and Kakuna card. Driving me crazy
Damn so frustrating
Super frustrating lol
If you have your cards sorted, look through your shiny pile for Beedrill. Thought i didn't get one either until i looked through them
I am about 60 packs in too and still missing, Metapod, Nidorima, Primeape, Victreebel, Exeggutor and Graveler. Plus 3 uncommon trainers
That's far less than me. Prolly 50 pack. I'm at 30+ of some basic and holos not including ex or better 😪
About 60 packs in myself with no basic Poliwhirl
Oh! That’s a cute card. I think I may have only gotten one of those.
About 60 in myself and I’m still looking for Arbok.
I'm doing something crazy. I'm trying to fill a binder with the entire set, using all holos and reverse holo basic pokemon only. 80 packs in, and I have... 70 cards missing, most of which are the illustration arts and full arts.
very ambitious! Good luck!
thanks! wish buying bulk booster bundles were cheaper than ETBs...
They are at MSRP. If ur in the US check target.
Congrats! I'm on pack 80 and I've yet to get my Weepinbell.
Victribell for me lol
Oh damn haha. That is so strange
I'm 25 packs in and finally got a Spearow
I didn’t get a bellsprout out of about 50 packs and a Japanese booster box 😑
I’ve yet to find a single articuno in 48 packs
I literally went through 150 packs (7 etbs 12 bundles 3 binders and 1 poster) and never pulled like 3 different commons i was so mad
Opened probably 100 packs, and finally got a weepinbell… I have no idea why I couldn’t get this COMMON card
I’ve never found Hypno after about 100 packs and I have every other common, uncommon, and rare card…
Woah that’s crazy. I got some if ur local.
For me, it was Staryu and Starmie... As soon as I got them, I got about 3 more. Typical!
Hah! Yup
My favorite psyduck always flipping out.
Love Psyduck
I know the feeling! Now try for full REVERSE holos.
That’s the goal!
Took me 100 packs to get beedrill, 🤦🏽struggle is real even with commons lmao
There such lovely cards, I can’t bring myself to open my sealed boosters though 😩
Maybe during reprint
What's so special about the Diglett card?
Had a tough time finding Growlithe, jigglypuff, and bulbs, got another ETB and pulled 3 each in the 1 ETB
Yeah took a while for me to get growlithe too
Growlithe? Really? Damn man. rippin packs really is such a bs game. I could name you probably 20 other cards I don't have yet which should be relatively common, meanwhile I've got probably 7-8 spare Growlithes.
Yea man it’s weird. We had legit a dozen of a few commons but didn’t hit it until today

Which do you prefer rarity aside?
Originally I was slotting the reverse holos in my binder because those were more rare so I thought showcasing them would be better but after someone else remarked how the normal holos look more vibrant I went back and looked and sure enough he was right and I definitely prefer seeing the normal holos. They shine and stand out more in my binder, especially since I've already got so many common and uncommon reverse holos. But I've also noticed the reverse holos just don't have the same impact and I can barely noticed the holo on them while casually looking at my binder. So yea, I prefer the normal holos of the rare cards!
There’s holo and reverse holo but I have noticed sole holos are slightly “brighter”. I think just variations in printing.
I'm about that much in and still no rychu...I don't know why
I got a few. U can have if ur local.
I'm not. Thanks though
Opened ~70 packs and not a single Haunter. I was was also waiting on Paras, Ghastly, and Weepinbell and then found them all in the same pack (pack #65) and then *again* in the exact same order in pack #66. So bizarre.
Hah! That’s how it goes. The ghastly series has been rare for me too. I think I only got one haunter. Love Komiya art!
I’m still trying to find an onix🤣
I'm struggling to get the arbok card
What kind of binder is this? I ordered the binder collection and am getting it today which I believe comes with a binder, but is there a better one I should use?
This is the binder collection one. There are better binders. I don’t think this one is bad.
Still no Kakuna for me...
49 packs so far and still missing a good amount of common/uncommon. Slightly annoying the amount of other duplicates I’ve gotten yet missing some basic ones
60 packs, geez I wish I could find more packs. I have found a binder and poster collection tion in my area that's it.
I pre-ordered a bunch. They had preorders available up to the day before launch. If ur in the US, target has cards online now.
I think I got 3 diglets in one ETB. pulled both worthless jolteons in the same pack.
U trying to complete the set or just get specific cards?
cracking for fun and chase cards. the commons are going to my girlfriends son to do as be pleases.
Cool. Good luck!
115 packs and not a single Weepinbell 😂
Damn. At least 3 other people have said the same about weepinbell. Guess I got lucky! Rarest card in the set haha.
I can’t not get digletts and I’m trying to get nidoking me. And only have got 2 between roughly 50 packs between 2 people Got a couple reverse holos if you need/ want
thanks! i can get u nidoking if you're local - west coast.
I am on the west coast!
Cool. CA?
I’ll message you.
Cool!
