After holding onto a Psa 10 Shadowless Blastoise booster pack for some time, I cracked it open. To my surprise, it was Shadowless, although short crimped! Pulled a Pidgeotto as a rare, but I don’t care. Shadowless packs were not available in New Jersey during the Pokemon boom in the late 90’s, and the opening experience was totally worth the $250.00. Have not been this happy in some time.

I love opening rare packs. I recently bought two Japanese Neo Destiny packs for a total of $163…and immediately opened both. I had no intention of keeping them sealed.
No shining cards as of course I had hoped, but two holos (Scizor and Crobat) and some general lovely art–all mint, unplayed brand new. (Really love the Light Flareon I pulled too!)

That’s great! It is kind of hard to hold onto vintage packs, even when they are sealed in a Psa case. I think I know what I would do if I got my hands on a First Edition Base Set booster pack. It may just be worth the $1,000.00+. Or am I crazy?

Lol I mean, I get that by opening the packs it takes the value way down. I get that, I really do. But I like the cards themselves, so I’d rather have my 9 or 10 little pieces of art than a sealed pack. (Plus, ya know, what if you pull “that” card?) Worth the fun to me!
