Yeah I'd imagine they'd be around 15k by now. I bet some mental bastard out there has most of them.

Last pack was this...Mega Houndoom EX Full Art!
Last pic, all the pulls together. Actually got through a huge chunk of the set here, definitely going to be finishing this and BreakPoint over the next few weeks as and when I can pick things up.

Jesus that full art Houndoom is ridiculous! I want it!
I would quite like to open those.
Jesus who owns those, how can they resist 
It's a seller on eBay, so understandable that they haven't opened them.
There must be so many sets I haven't heard of, I don't recognize any of the ones in that picture.

Bottom right is 'Legendary Collection' one of the most expensive and rarest older English sets.

Ah cool. Do you have any of those ones?
Seeing you all go mental over opening these packs makes me reminisce over opening Yu-Gi-Oh packs. Never got into the Pokemon sets but they all came out a little bit before my time. Loved me some Blue Eyes though...
How come there are 4 different Mewtwo cards all in the same booster set?

I have a sealed box that I picked up last year. As much as I'd like to open it and become interested in that set, it's worth too much for me to want to do that. It's the first ever set that had 'reverse holo's' (seen in this video) and you get one in each pack. Plus at the time people weren't that interested in the cards any more so it wasn't produced a whole lot so it makes them quite desirable nowadays.
I love some of the reverse holos, you still get one in every pack these days, but it kinda makes them a little too common in some cases. But some of the background artwork for them is ace.
The eevee in thy video you just posted is ridiculous!
Just realised I pulled that Brigette Full Art trainer from a tin last week that was from this set so one less to get. And a Marowak Break!
I think there is actually 8 Mewtwos!
2 Ex
2 Mega Ex
2 Full Art EX
2 Full Art Mega EX
2 Secret Rare!
They do 1 of each excluding the secret rare for most of the new sets just this one is excessive. Don't mind because Mewtwo is a boss.
Predictably I'm not really a huge fan of reverse holo's. The only ones that kind of appeal is Legendary Collection because they're classic cards and I'd like to see one of those in person at least. From e-series onwards though I pretty much dislike them all.
You're such a grandad
Theres so much within my parameters to enjoy and appreciate though so I don't lose any sleep over it. I've breached into the territory of seeing the Japanese versions as the originals and very best, with English being immitation knock-offs. The difference is very apparent!Hard to say they're few and far between. The ones that do appear seem to be listed for £1700+ now.
I got a couple of packs of Japanese cards last time I was into this and the art and look of the cards were pretty great. Just a bit pricey and I don't know anything about them!
Oh, wow. That's... a lot. I don't blame you for not opening it
Are Korean cards any good? They seem to be quite cheap.
Broad question. People collect all sorts. Korean unlimited base set for example is one of the rarest base set languages. I can't speak for newer cards.
Ive seen those booster boxes on ebay very cheap. Guaranteed holos in each pack I believe and the packs carry fewer cards than English sets. Might be worth a look.
So if anyone sees any Legendary Treasures boosters anywhere please let me know!
I've realised the set I wanna complete has these two secret rares in...
Haven't seen them for less than $30 each at the moment. Ugh.

Yeah, there's only five in each pack from what I've seen.
Saw these earlier after you mentioned them - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pokemon-B...703208?hash=item33ba2adc68:g:ChsAAOSwOVpXb9wDSo if anyone sees any Legendary Treasures boosters anywhere please let me know!

Fecks sake can't justify £30 a booster! I have like 30 cards left I think, I'll probably be best just buying singles from here on in as most of them aren't too bad.
The worst part is you just know some clueless mum has sold the cards I need at a car boot for about 50p.
I think it's for four packs. I'm not sure, but the title seems to imply it to me.
If anyone has any of these from BreakThrough, let me know...

Ohhhh shit, I get paid tomorrow so I'll try. I have a bad feeling they will come back out of stock as it says it's fulfilled by someone else but we will see! I might try and buy 10 tomorrow.
I have the Golduck BREAK and Gyrados EX Secret Rare but I don't think I can bring myself to part with them

Will swap you that Darkrai EX for the Golduck...top deal that! Sleep on it! Not even gonna try get the Secret Rare off you

Alright I'll have a think, I do love that little Golduck fecker!
Yeah that Gyrados is going nowhere
I think you'll be alright. They seem to be in stock now since they let me go through 90% of the checkout process to check the postage cost, and since Game.co.uk isn't very popular I doubt they'll sell out before tomorrow.
Wow nice! I'm personally not a fan of Japanese sets (or any other language set really) but you definitely picked and completed some of the better ones! Loved the Neo Sets, I'd try to get the boxes eventually but they're an £800+ purchase if you can even find them.
Thinking back, over the recent months I've always been tracking booster boxes on eBay (but will only buy from UK sellers due to customs, and now the weaker pound too). Cheapest I have seen (other than my steal of a base set) are:
Base Set Unlimited - £1,000
Base Set Shadowless - £1,300
Fossil 1st ed - £950 Best Offer
Jungle - £499 Best Offer
Base Set 2 - £800 Best Offer
Rocket 1st ed - £800 Best Offer
Neo Genesis 1st ed - £1,299 Best Offer
Neo Revelation 1st ed - £1,499 Best Offer
Neo Revelation - £1,000 Best Offer
Gym Heroes - £485
Skyridge - £3,500
I check most weeks but its going to be a few months before I can spunk £500+ on a box.

Also, moving away from cards for a moment. Seven new Pokemon have leaked (potentially) and have images on Serebii.net (spoiler tagged). There is to be a reveal on July 1st, so odds are this leak is going to be what they show tomorrow anyway.

I'm haggling to death with eBay sellers here that give the Best Offer option.
Managed to get a Full Art Glaile EX for £4 with free delivery and a Full Art Mewtwo EX for £5.50 with £1.50 postage from America (will get this in about 6 weeks probably ha).
Also got my eye on a few others I'm missing due today and waiting on a few other counter offers for bids I put in. Looks like I should be able to complete the BreakPoint set for between £100-£110 which will include all EX, Full Art and Secret Rares. BreakThrough is different, the fact there are 2 Mega Mewtwo EX Full Arts as well as the 2 Secret Rares is going to make it difficult to finish for under £140.00, but I should be able to command £180.00-£200.00 for the set on eBay...at which point I'll start on Generations!
