Neo Destiny and Aquapolis Packs - All Duds?

Bought these packs recently, all unweighed from the same box break. Did I happen to go 0/8 or is it possible for the slight outliers to have something decent in them? These are for a collection, so I’m not intending to ever open them and find out, but was just curious if anyone had experience with weighing and opening packs from these sets.

Also, how do you folks store/display loose booster packs? I don’t want to send these off to get mangled by PSA, but also don’t feel right having them sit loose in my drawer.

3.15% chance to get all 8 as duds, so not THAT unlikely tbh. I’ve opened 2 ETBs with 0 holos so I’m also no stranger to trash luck.

Also I keep mine in psa slab sleeves inside empty cd/jewelry cases.

Thank god you weighed them first. That would have been the most depressing pack opening ever

@david, the Neo destiny can still have shinings though. Shinings are in light packs

Those aquapolis are all light though I just sold a half aquapolis box and heavies were 17.6

Thanks for the tips everyone! You win some, you lose some. Such is life. Maybe I’ll open some of the neo destiny packs in a few years to check for shinings. And yeah, I was definitely reminded of my terrible luck with ETBs when I saw all 8 were probably light.

Have you tried them both? Do you like the top or side ones better? Regardless, they look like a nice display option!

So if all the neo destiny packs are light then you have a plus chance of having a shining card. Pack weights also got much more closer together in the later sets so unless you weighed the “entire” box, I do not think you can be very sure if there is a holo or not.

Regarding the higher chances for a Shining, I saw PokeRev open multiple packs that included a Shining AND a holo. I don’t know how common this is, just saying Shinings can come from heavy packs, too.

Good to know! I might have to give these a shot!
