In this Pokemon cards opening, I reluctantly bought all of the mystery boxes I could find under "Newest Arrivals" on Amazon. Will these new mystery products be any good?

    • Or the seller advertises exactly what the contents were the mystery will pictures of the cards in there ie pictures of the slabs raw cards and booster packs. I agree majority are deceptive in what is in the bags/boxes. I am someone that is attempting my mystery bag and the biggest thing I’ve received opinion wise is make sure the value is there ie if you’re selling a bag for 50 make sure value is there most eBay sellers that did them had some horrible odds like 30 dollar bags with a floor of 8 or 12 bucks and a ceiling of 175ish out of a 100 bags 30 of them were equal or greater value the other 70 bags were the bottom value. In my opinion if a risk is being made on a purchase in my opinion the most you should lose out on in a mystery bag is 15-20% meaning you get at least 80% of your money back. Getting less than 30% of your money back will definitely make you not spend anymore with that seller.

Everyone has a box full and more. From ETB's etc. I feel that its time that Pokemon can sell those separate and make packs better with some guaranteed hits. Might be a .50 cent card. Might be a 100 card. All in all in the end they still make their money. Just make these damn sets a little easier for the kids to finish collecting. The game in my opinion has gotten away from kids and all around the scammyness of gambling.

  • Worst part with Amazon direct they ship Booster boxes, ETB's and UPC's in bags so if you collect sealed the product always has some sort of dents or tearing. 3rd party sellers get away with murder by opening product and barely reseal and ship it to amazon to fulfil. Amazon doesnt bother checking so even after they get caught and someone leaves a negative review amazon removes the negative review and leaves the same generic auto generated response. "This item was fulfilled by Amazon, and we take responsibility for this fulfillment experience". And nothing happens to the seller and it keeps the ratings high.

Like a $50 dollar bag to get rid of his extra inventory that is street value $20. His cost maybe $10. I get there are complete scams out there that know they arent seeding exactly what they claim. But then again how does anyone really check his seed levels. Ive seen big openings on his cards and noone gets anything big. Then other big youtubers get big stuff from his. Claiming they all order things anon.. Its why I am completely staying away from the mystery packs. Just not worth it in my opinion.

  • I mean that's the point of "mystery". It's basically the same as a lottery. The floor is gonna be super bad, the chase is gonna be super hard to get. And then the average cards are just gonna be meh. It's a way to market products and make money for the business owner. This doesn't even just apply to cards but it applies to many other things like blind box toys, sealed Pokemon TCG packs. I do agree that most of them are kinda "scammy" because the price for it doesn't justify the floor. The better mystery products are ones that the floor isn't too far away. Just remember nothing is too good to be true in life before you buy something. And unless you're willing to gamble and ok with the floor, then don't buy it. Also not everyone reviews products so it's hard to get a completely good idea of the pull rates of these products. I do enjoy your videos and the fact that you'd get these and open it so people will have some idea of what's inside them before they buy. Appreciate that.
