On one side yes they should be hard to pull since they are shininig cards, but at the same time i dont want to have to buy multiple boxes for one shining card like it was in the past. ---

On one side yes they should be hard to pull since they are shininig cards, but at the same time i dont want to have to buy multiple boxes for one shining card like it was in the past. But in the past your chances of a Shining card, in say a box of Neo Destiny, was roughly 1:9-1:12, depending on your luck. These current Shining cards are 1:10. How is this any different? We have to remember, the Shining cards in this set are not even the highest rarity tier. ---

It’s different because there are probably a lot more people now who are buying these boxes and TPC are producing much more than WOTC was producing Neo Destiny. So if the pull rates are going to remain the same as they were 15 years ago then there are going to be a lot more of these shining cards than there ever were wotc shinings so the market isn’t completely flooded and are selling for $5 a piece. I’d rather the pull rates be much more difficult than that. Just my opinion though. ---

I’d rather the pull rates be much more difficult than that. Just my opinion though. That logic is flawed because there are far more people opening the product, meaning there is far more demand. You can’t artificially inflate the rarity of an item simply because more people want them. Why does this have to be about you and not everyone? Serious question. ---

Obviously there is far more demand with more product being opened which is why I think they should be harder to pull. Implying i’m making this only about me and not everyone is saying I am the only person with the opinion that shinings should be more difficult to pull and have a higher rarity value. Just because I don’t share the exact same opinion and view of it as you doesn’t mean I’m making it all about me. Ignorant. ---

Just because I don’t share the exact same opinion and view of it as you doesn’t mean I’m making it all about me. Ignorant. Perfect explanation of this in this video: [![](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/4/e/4ec848f75f8a789cde4c986ab3f6cd71335710cf.jpeg "smpratte - Are New Pokemon Cards Too Easy To Grade?") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uJewlSrjac) Its quite clear there is people out there that enjoy the hunt, they enjoy the challenge. AND they enjoy the dissapoitment of pulling 6 wallys and no rayquaza from xy6 ![](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/2/b/2bb941eef079b388aeabee5c1398ff4687776fc4.png) Its what makes it fun. But its just an opinion, or a feeling. Nothing more. Its nothing personal either. All the rare cards arnt really obtainable. Making things like they where back from the gold star days and BW days would give alot of collectors the chance to have some real nice rare cards for a much cheaper price. People cant be spending thousands on trophy cards, shinings, no rarites ect. THE BW ultra rares had a good sytem, and so did the gold stars. Every body loves them, and alot of people have them. Theres nothing wrong with that. [Next page](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/buying-shining-lugia/17128.md?page=2)
