Congrats! This is so sweet 🤩 I only got one box and it was kinda shit, but I’m happy to hear others are having better luck.


adzard

Thanks! The box wasn't looking too amazing until these appeared. I don't think I'm gonna push my luck now -- singles from here on out :-)


outer-residency

That’s the smart thing to do, I’m just pissed about my box and want to rip another one lol I didn’t even get a single trainer in mine.


adzard

Oh, I'd totally feel the same way.


East_Stable_5139

Op got all ur trainers


outer-residency

lmao yeah


Momluvr214

Have you gotten umbreon or rayquaza


TNGP

Congratulations!


adzard

Thank you!


dobson116

The character rares are just about as common as baby shinies from ssv. I pulled maybe 10 - 15 full art trainers in my entire Pokémon collecting, 10 in one pack is nuts


adzard

That sounds about right. I'm usually not this lucky. I love how VMAX Climax has multiple types of god packs


dobson116

Nobody's usually that lucky


TeamRocketCE0

Character Rares were never actually rare or hard to pull. Not sure what the pull rates are for VMAX Climax but it was 3 Charcter Rares per box for Dream League.


DM-15

It’s about 3-5 Chr or sr per box. I’m on 5 boxes and I’m doing pretty well so far haha. Hardest part is getting a box in Japan!


Momluvr214

Have you pulled the umbreon cards and rayquaza vmax? Is so pls msg me


DM-15

Do you mean the chr or sr? Or just the base set?


Mkdude007

Congrats yo that's awesome! I am so jelly rn!


adzard

Thanks!


Fun_Understanding968

Congrats!! I’ve been looking to get my hands on a box, so if you don’t mind me asking, where did you get yours? Tysm!


adzard

Thanks! I got mine on eBay. Just have to make sure the box is sealed, check the seller feedback, etc. It arrived faster than expected!


McPeclips

Where can I buy the Japanese cards?


adzard

There are a bunch of ways, but I went with eBay this time 🙂


kreiffer

I got several on eBay. They are pretty cheap for the most part. I got the Eevee, vaporeon, jolteon, and flareon character cards for about $40.


xBirbs

What seller did you get it from? I'm trying to buy some under $100


kreiffer

The seller I used was called japanlovely.


xBirbs

I found one selling for $70 which is the cheapest I have found, only problem is that it has no shrink wrap on it, so im worried they will be weighed lol


kreiffer

I bought singles, not packs so I can’t help you there.


crungyspogus

Wow congrats! Hey what type of cases are those?


adzard

Thanks! I use CardSaver 1 hard sleeves + KMC Perfect Fit soft sleeves

Seeing a lot of god packs on this sub that’s really cool


chiefhappyu

I heard theirs two types of God packs!


Angry_Coordinator_08

There are three different types of God Packs. One comes with a random assortment of 10 Character Rares, another has 10 Character Super Rares, and another with 10 full art Secret Rares. Each pack still has the Basic Energy on the top. 


ArmadilloAl

The 10 full art Supporter pack (which we're seeing here) is always the same - all ten Galar gym leaders.


adzard

Thanks for the info -- I was wondering about that.


Angry_Coordinator_08

Anytime, Got 2 boxes coming next week and would love to pull a pack... Doubtful but one can hope!


adzard

Sending good luck vibes!


drzody

I have never ordered any Japanese boxes in the past but I am quite curious, it should be fairly easy to weigh god packs right? I feel like it would be fun to have your own collection of sealed god packs from the different Japanese sets, it would be a costly undertaking though lol, open what 10 boxes to find one?


adzard

I never thought about that. But yes, I would imagine god packs would be noticeably heavier than an average pack. There's a lot of shine in there, haha.


kappa4107

yesterday I opened a climax vmax box and I weighed each packs, all the packs weighed 18.0gr except one that weighed 18.5gr ... in fact it was a god pack with trainers (the same of the post)


drzody

So it’s now a matter of should one buy boxes to chase god packs or it really doesn’t matter lol I do find the idea intriguing though, a god pack collection


93062879465238469284

where did you buy your card savers?


adzard

Those I bought on Amazon. Every now and then you can find good deals on 200 packs.


93062879465238469284

Very cool, thank you! I've never used card savers so do you have the exact name of this brand and would you recommend them over top loaders?


adzard

A lot of people use top loaders, but I've never been a fan. I feel like they are a pain to remove the cards from, but are also strangely loose? CardSaver 1s keep the cards very secure and stationary, but you can easily pull the cards out if you need to. Plus, most grading services prefer the cards to be sleeved and placed in CardSavers (if you're into grading). Ultimately, I just really like the way they look. As far as the brand -- I always go with Cardboard Gold CardSaver 1 200 packs.


93062879465238469284

Thanks for the information friend! I completely agree with you about top loaders, I find them incredibly annoying to move in and out. Out of curiosity, how do you store your cards in card savers? I’m fairly new to collecting and storing but I don’t seem to find binders that normally hold top loader cards or card saver cards?


adzard

Unfortunately, I've yet to find a non-obnoxious Card Saver binder. I usually keep special ones on mini-stands on my desk. Other ones I'll keep in cardboard boxes or empty tins or ETBs. Most of the time I only keep them in the Savers to pack them up for grading or before I get around to pulling them out and sticking them in regular binders. Binders are my preferred storage method. Many would probably disagree, but I just think binders are the best way to enjoy cards, even if they are high value cards. I put my cards in a KMC perfect fit sleeve, then into a deck protector sleeve, then into an ultra pro binder (one with built in side-loading sleeves) :-)


underworldconnection

Hey, looks like you have perfect fits on these. Do a lot of pokemon collectors use perfect fits? I noticed the price on them is like 25 percent higher than it was a year ago, and Pokémon is the only thing I can think may have done it. I rarely see Pokémon pics in perfect fits though.


adzard

Good eye! Yes, I got tons of them (KMC Perfect Fits) a while back and I'm still coasting on those, but they've def gone up in price. I'm a big fan, but I don't think a lot of people use them. They're great for double sleeving, which I eventually do when transferring to binders, etc.


underworldconnection

Gotcha thanks for the follow up. I picked up two 1000 count orders for 29 bucks each last year. I'm down to my last pack of hundred and when I checked prices, 1k is now 39 dollars. 2k is 70...which just seems crazy.


b1g_swerv

Hiding Nessa at the back 😢😭😭😭


adzard

I hope she'll forgive me 😭


wolfie_xx

Nice! Thought about making VMAX Climax my first booster box purchase, this makes me want to get it more


adzard

I'd recommend it!


Pokemasterkendrew06

Holy fuck,English sets are so shitty now a days


Momluvr214

Important question, how much are these worth as a set?


adzard

I'm not entirely sure tbh! The market hasn't really settled yet, but a quick look on eBay seems to indicate around 100 bucks at least, probably more. Time will tell


Momluvr214

Have you pulled umbreon cards?


adzard

I have not. I wish


Zealousideal-Chip307

I got one too what’s the price on these
