Is it me or has this seller suddenly disappeared now? Suspicious...

He is still there for me selling boxes of Break Through?

Got some more Break Point boosters earlier, oops. Not many, got a couple of holos but one I have already but did get this beauty. Secret rare! 123/122.

Nooooooooooooo I wanted to be the first to get this one! What a pull! Im bidding on it now on ebay too!

But....

Which set?

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Now, this begs the question, do I buy more?

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Fates Collide. I assume thats what youre asking. I havent bought pokemom cards since the originals so I have no clue what Im doing!

That Mewtwo is cool as feck, but with my love for cute Pokemon and the cartoony designs, I have to say I think I prefer the Chespin.

Edit: Ok, that Houndoom is my favourite.

You bastard, enjoy. Sorry about the Gyrados...

Didn't even realise this set had a secret rare until I read the card number, was well hyped.

The Radient Collection from Legendary Treasures is all cute, I'm like you as well which is why I got so into that set!

Christ that's cool!

I just looked them up, and yeah... they are rather cute. I want them!

Edit: Damn.

That's one of the 3 cards I'm missing from that set, I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and buy them as singles. The rest of the cards I have duplicates in almost all of them!

 

[Havak]

Nice pulls guys!

@Ady87 you might as well stop now haha

 

[Ady87]

Love this card. Check out the cards in the new generations set they are the cutest yet by a mile!

 

[Ady87]

3rd card was a rare Typhlosion holo. Im on a run that suggests the next 6 could be blanks at least! Or ive got one of those rare crazy boxes?

From my quick search those booster packs seem rather expensive compared to the rest

 

[Damien]

Hehe nosh.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

Damn, I haven't got a clue what boosters to look up with all these different set names

If you can even find them to buy, pretty much out of stock everywhere now, so annoying.

 

[Ady87]

Pack 6

[Snowjoe]

Ffs what are you like

Well that's a bummer.

 

[Ady87]

Oh shiiiiiiiit wait till you see what I just pulled.

This is killing me.

Trying to save for a house and pay for a wedding does not sit well with indulging in such vices! My other half will kill me...

Didn't even know this card existed! Secret Rare

the artwork on some of these is incredible!!

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

So, how many individual Pokemon cards are there in total from the very beginning?

And does anyone plan to try and get them all?

 

[Ady87]

Hmm. So far:

15 of 36 packs opened, and they say you get on Average 12 Holos per box.

Typhlosion Holo
Mismagius Holo
Zoroark Holo
Yveltal Holo
Xerneas Holo
Houndoom EX
Houndoom EX Full Art
Mewtwo EX
Mewtwo EX Full Art Secret Rare

Also pulled Empoleon and Magneton in Rare Reverse Holos too.

Am I really only going to get 3 Holos in the next 21 packs? Is it the way the packs have fallen and im doomed from here in, or is it the holy grail of boxes?

 

[Earthquake]

Google says in 2010 there were 9200 or so.

 

[Ady87]

Very next pack...

Spoiler

I'm going all in boys. Wish me luck.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

Sounds doable!

 

[Ady87]

Spoiler

Those that have gone through the pain of paying £10 for 3 packs and getting nothing recently will understand just how silly this is getting...

 

[Snowjoe]

You are the worst kind of person.

 

[Earthquake]

Sounds doable!

Wonder how many were added between then and now?

Wouldn't be surprised if it beats Magic and their 15k cards.

Surprisingly, YuGiOh only has about 8k cards, I'd have expected a lot more.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Very next pack...

May the force be with you.
