Just opened 32/36 packs for a box, ended up with 2 breaks, 6 reg holo, 2 FA (misty and mega venusaur), 1 EX, 1 mega, 3 secret rares, 2 reverse rares and 4 reverse holo rares. One thing I will say though… The card quality for my box was no less appalling, all the back corners have little indents on them, the cut shows silvering from the back of the holos, the holos ALL have factory scratches and most of the cards also have factory scratches/print lines on the back. I would not be surprised if no card in the box graded a 10. I hope for everyone else’s sake that I just got incredibly unlucky.
Makes me wonder, has ANYONE pulled a holo without a horizontal factory line?

If mine had one I wouldn’t mind but most have 2 very close to each other.
Will consider myself lucky that a majority of mine are single lined, though I do have a fair bit with the double. No idea whats up with the left border on EX’s, guess the machine just wants them to BARELY exist.
What are the corners like on your cards? I’ll upload a photo of mine later but they are all over the place and the cut in general all around the card is really rough. Genuinely think I could do a better job with scissors and an uncut sheet.
Funny because my box almost all of my SRs/EXs are PSA 10 candidates.
All have that top corner mark like Generations. Cuts looked all over the place for me as well, I really didn’t look half the time due to centering already killing them, but I will take a peek when I leave the office later.
I’m glad at least some people aren’t having to have similar experiences to a few of us!
The way people are discussing the quality of this set solidifies in my mind that there are at least two major printing facilities, one of which is horrible and the other not too bad.
Has this been discussed before? I’m sure it has. I’m having thoughts it was discussed about 8-12 months ago specifically about the Flashfire set?
I’ve checked through my holos from my pulls and none have factory lines or scuffing? They’re all slightly off centre though, nothing major. I don’t think they’d get PSA 10 due to that - maybe a 9?
But yeah my prints seem to be good, but god, I’ve seen some horrors on facebook. Check this out:

If you happen to see someone post a Pikachu that has a printing defect put me in contact! I’d be very interested in buying!
Hehe, don’t worry, I’m keeping everyone in mind ^^ I’ll let you know.
Bought a booster box to keep sealed, bought 2 loose packs with it for some fun.

Is it weird that I’ve opened 2 boxes and haven’t gotten a single flying or surfing pikachu? I got a few exeggutors and god knows how many doduos. Are the pikachus rarer?
Alright so I caved and opened my booster box, I’ll make sure to replace it. I think my luck has officially run dry.
Also I am not sure if it has been discussed but I pulled 2 of my non-holo Secret Rares in the same pack. 3rd last and last slot.
