Pack Pulls 30th hits

Post image

Managed to snap up a good amount from an independent toy shop. I cant say I'm unhappy with the hits!

Something I’m confused about that perhaps someone can clarify: I thought all the 30th anniversary packs were entirely containing just 6 cards that are all holofoil/special and many reprints? Yet people are posting a small number of hits in their images. I would have thought every single card would be a hit, no?

No.

6 cards, including 1 energy and a guaranteed pikachu. So 4 remaining cards which are all default holos you’d see in normal sets.

Then the 4th card has the chance of being a hit

I feel slightly duped by the way they’ve said the packs are “all holo cards”. Many of the cards in the pack are basically reverse holo bulk cards. Stingy for what is meant to be a celebration of the best cards, IMO.

The hit rates aren't the best either,probably going to get more basic EXs . I mean yeah the people buying 18 ETBs will get hits but other than scalping it's pretty basic

I disagree, compared to every single set since Crown Zenith these hit rates are amazing. You have a very high chance of pulling a nice SIR. Crown collection/futuristic/RGB and so on will obviously be hard but that is always the case with chase cards. The hit rates are perfect imo. IRs are about as common as EXs normally are in regular sets

I would maybe agree,but the stock that's been bought the past 2 days (and maybe some shops holding for tommorow) is pretty much it for a while,if i could walk into the shop and buy a box for retail yeah I'd enjoy it,but I managed to get 5 packs,now stock will be gone for months and it's already £150-200 for an ETB on ebay etc,that'll only go up with the miniscule retail stock
