Let this image burn into everyone’s brains here… Pack Fresh, Doesn’t mean 10s :neutral_face:

Can’t complain too much since PSA did my order in 6 days… But Pulled these all out the pack, and not a single 10 was given

That’s brutal! Is it edge silvering? Or what knocks them a grade in most cases?

Zero Silvering.

I’m guessing it’s a centering/Factory line issue

Did you open a booster box or were these just loose packs you purchased?

Opened a Booster box lol

I can assure everyone there wasn’t any silvering or scratches, other than Factory lines

Ouch!!! Especially as you cracked a box for these! :slightly_frowning_face:

I hate factory scratches. That happened on my LC box as well. Nothing you can do about it.

So this is the reason, why ampharos and blissey unlimited neo rev are still pop 0. One day gemmmintpokemon, one day…

I recently opened an aquapolis box (all 36 packs) and didn’t get a single crystal card. Not even a reverse crystal. Many cards looked GEM and that is a fairly easy grading set, so I hope I at least grab a few good 10’s or else I will be sitting in your shoes on the quick evaporation of $$$ opening old sealed product. Likely even with a few 10’s I will have lost out fairly badly.

Aquapolis doesn’t have reverse Crystals. Finding one would be more rare than discovering a Prerelease Raichu.

Wow I guess I have never noticed that. Opened 1 skyridge box and a couple aquapolis and am just now realizing it. Still no crystals which sucked. Don’t know what was up with that.

18

Owch, that’s brutal… and gemmint beat me to the reverse holo mention!

19

That’s probably because Aquapolis Crystals didn’t come in reverse, but still I’ve seen 2-3 per box in almost every other one.

EDIT: Didn’t read the other post saying the exact same thing. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Fun Fact: Aquapolis doesn’t have Reverse Holo Crystals.

The more you know.
