Hmmm…that’s not much of an endorsement lol.
So it is confirmed that there are no no rarities in all short packs?

Yes that was a guy I was talking to, confirmed short packs are not guaranteed to contain no rarity cards.
Here is a picture he showed me of the two different packs, proving he opened a short pack. He says the regular packs have a brail like silver edging, where as the short packs have horizontal lines in the silver.
Granted the card pictured above his pack aren’t from base set, it’s the only picture he took;
Yep. These packs are about as likely to contain no rarity cards as any other base set packs. Nothing special besides the short top. A rare pack design, but it shouldn’t be advertised to possibly contain no rarities in my opinion.
Your video would be a great addition to our new Video Thread:)

It isn’t confirmed that ALL short packs contain regular base set cards, therefore there is still the possibility of some short packs containing no-rarity.
Just like it is possible some base set packs could possibly contain jungle set cards…

Well that is why we will donate. At the end we all win or we loose. We aren’t 100% sure if some do or don’t. Have we seen any YouTuber open a short pack? I did see the listing for the guy who has the Gem Mint NR Zard saying he didn’t get it from a short pack but he doesn’t remember where he really got it. It is a mystery where they came from. We just know they exist but wouldn’t it be kinda great to open one on camera to see if even one short pack can have them. I would drop 10 dollars to buying a pack. We could even raffle off the cards in the pack. Just have to have someone trusted to buy the pack with our donation.
EDIT My app didnt show all the replies after my post.
Let’s not do the pack idea if it is for sure they do not have NR cards in them

So do I. Great sentiment.
What a difficult situations… It means Ill probably never get someone to open and confirm for me before I can buy a box from them… Secondly Even if they confirmed no rarity in one of the packs before buying, what if the other 59 packs be not of no raritys inside!! Such a tough ass situation.
“Base set pack contain jungle cards” is not a fair comparison. I don’t think we have seen enough short packs opened to draw a conclusion of probability of pulling a no-rarity card.
The conclusion we can draw is not all short packs contain no-rarity, but some short packs may still contain no-rarity. It’s just a matter of opening enough packs to calculate a probability.
A possible situation is like the shadowless base set booster packs, where we know that not all shadowless booster packs contain shadowless cards, but the probability is much higher than that of a regular booster pack.
We know this fact only when we have seen enough of the packs opened. Imagine if only two shadowless booster packs were ever opened, and by bad luck they did not contain shadowless cards. Then it would be wrong to draw the conclusion that all shadowless booster packs contain same cards as regular booster packs.

I feel the exact same way haha. Just a blastoise instead
But the problem is, you’re running with some kind of fact that is imaginary at best currently.
No one has come forth and said “I’ve opened short packs and pulled no-rarity cards.”
Until then, short packs contain regular base set cards. It is impossible to draw any other conclusions at this point.

It’s hardly imaginary. It’s been confirmed that no rarity cards have been in base starter decks. If you were to open 100 base starter decks you probably would NOT get any no rarity cards. If you were to open 1000, if be surprised if you got 1 box with no rarity cards in them.
So opening one or two or two hunderd short packs and finding zero no rarity cards would t surprise me.
That’s not the evidence that’s going to convince me. I prefer logic to be used in the argument.
Short packs were the first packs, no rarity cards were the first cards.
Ratios of no rarity card lists support booster pack pulls rates, not starter deck pull rates.
I do enjoy knowing that the likely hood of me findin no rarity cards in short booster packs is vertually non existant. I’ll take that info and save my money, but to speculate that there’s no chance seems short sighted to me.

What actual facts do we have to support either claim (No Rarities are in decks and/or short packs)? Genuinely curious.
the person who got the PSA 10 charizard no rarity charizard said he got his charizard out of a deck so confirmed you can get them out of a deck 
so i guess its like the UK base set packs, some may contain holos with the year 1999 and some may have 1999-2000 but its not guranteed
hmmm oh ive said that wrong he said when i asked he was got no rarity symbol cards from decks before and his opened a shorter boxs saying not one card was no rarity symbol
there are some decks that contained no rarities, no question about that, here you have the proof:

Do these articles mention if they were found in a silver stripe or gold stripe deck?
