SV10 The Glory of Team Rocket

The Glory of Team Rocket Attached Case opening

• Includes 1 booster box of SV10 The Glory of Team Rocket
• Main cavity can fit up to 2 deck build boxes

[Josh]

What’s the consensus speculation on why TPC didn’t include a promo(s) in the case? Means of dissuading stonkers? Still won’t work.

[koala]

• Deter reselling limited stock modern JP promos by not selling limited modern JP promos
• This case will still sell out without promos
• Japan can sell anything out without promos
• They want to focus on selling sets more than promos (i.e. booster box included instead)

I know this was made maybe with competetive players in mind, but it is actually really funtional. The video does a great job highlighting the aspect and it would be really cool to rock up to some conventions with this briefcase. Lots of space. I wonder if the long deck box space can hold some small binders? Thanks for sharing the video.

Cheers!

Incredible that of all the ones that have gotten ones, only Froakie and Frogadier didn’t get cards in SWSH.

Chikorita, Treecko and Popplio are basically going 2 generations without a card whilst Snivy and Chespin would be the same if not for Serperior and Chesnaught V.

[Taigataipan]

Nice, they pretty much copypasted Plasma Storm Moltres EX in this set.

[joponnes]

Damn, so many good arts, i’m guessing they are saving a lot of art rares tho since i don’t see a world where koffing/weezing isn’t getting some sort of better card in this set. Also, a weird choice to give sneasel holo treatment over weezing

[Drew12]

I’m glad we’re getting an sar moltres before sv is done, but now it feels a bit uneven that articuno only had an ar. I’m sure the 3 will look nice side by side in the binder anyway!
