I open packs for a living…so far, far too many.
Anywhere from 8000-20000+ depending on the product since the Sun and Moon era began.

I think about a booster box each of cosmic eclipse, burning shadows, and evolutions. 3 each of ancient origins and roaring skies. 3 tins, 1 etb, and a premium collection of hidden fates. After that, nothing. I’ll probably rip the english shiny star v since I loved ripping hidden fates but I prefer just buying singles for most releases now ![]()
Explain yoself
I haven’t opened any Sword & Shield main set booster packs partly because of covid but more because after Unbroken Bonds I mostly lost interest in modern cards. Nothing really stands out any more and everything feels like filler. I only picked up the Champions Path boxes because my fiancée enjoys opening packs, otherwise I’d have likely not opened any of those either.
Love opening modern for the fun of it, from the ones you mentioned I didn´t open too many:
Evolutions - 18
Burning Shadows - 216
Shining Legends - 0
Hidden Fates - 0
Champions Path - 60
Vivid Voltage - 36
But I definitely opened a ton of the tag team sm boxes, still opening them to this point, love the artworks.
Evolutions: ~25
Burning Shadows: ~25
Shining Legends: ~40
Hidden Fates: 46
Champions Path: 23
Vivid Voltage: 201
My typical opening is one booster box + 1 ETB and then buy singles. Vivid Voltage is the first set I ever did a larger opening for myself because of the Pikachus, and the amazing rares were a cool bonus. Was very satisfying to fill a binder almost perfectly up until full arts by just my own pulled cards, but I’ll probably only do larger openings like that about once a year going forward and stick with my roughly 44 packs for most sets
English sets
Japanese sets:
You might think that’s bad, but then there’s me who opened (almost) no packs at all. Jumped straight to graded cards.
I opened Hidden Fates with a friend of mine some weeks back, 24 packs each, can’t say I enjoyed them very much.
0 english or japanese ![]()
3 boxes of korean double blaze and 3 boxes of korean night unison.
5-10 max
Assuming modern is XY Evolutions and further, here the ones I can remember:
One Japanese Korean CP6 box; one Korean CP6 box; three Korean Fairy Rise boxes; one Korean Detective Pikachu box; two English Unbroken Bonds pre-release Build & Battle boxes; one Thai First Impact Set A box & one set B box, as well as seven First Impact GX Starter Decks; one Chinese All Stars Collection Set A box & one set B box, as well as one Random deck.
Apart from those I opened a bunch of blisters and loose packs in a lot of different languages. Mostly Japanese and Korean, but also some Portuguese, and one Spanish I received as a gift with an order.
And I now have an English Vivid Voltage and 13 Japanese Shiny Star V boxes incoming (not sure yet how many of those I’ll open).
Apart from that I also opened a bunch of Korean and English Yu-Gi-Oh booster boxes in the past two years.

Been ALOT of fun !
It’s fun to open packs but I would be too depressed to tally it up. For the most part, it’s throwing money down the drain unless you get lucky
I usually open about a booster box worth of each modern set. Since almost all of the time I don’t get the best card pull, I get salty and stop buying that set lol. It’s really hard to justify spending so much on modern sets when I can buy vintage products. But that’s just me ![]()
Shining Legends 100+
I’m not much for modern unless it’s nostalgic or Japanese promos =).
Assuming we’re only talking about English packs
Evolutions - 250+
Burning Shadows - 0
Shining Legends - 8? maybe 12
Hidden Fates - 0
Champions Path - 0
Vivid Voltage - 0
Get anything cool in the Thai First Impact decks? I’ve opened a couple in hopes of a Charizard, but no luck. Bought one for a friend, he got a Charizard of course. ![]()
