Pack Weights Database (post your info here)

Hi, new user here. I saw this post and wanted to contribute. I have data from 215 booster packs from plasma storm I can contribute. It is all in an excel spreadsheet with the weight in grams (XX.XXg), the reverse holo that was included and the rare card that was included.

What’s the best way to send over the spreadsheet?

Hi! Awesome; we’d love to add that. You can PM me a link to the spreadsheet (if you go under ‘share,’ you can generate a link) and I’ll add it to the main spreadsheet :blush:.

Sadness…I guess they can’t all be winners :sob:. Opened two more Dragon packs. First, a 17.29g pack. Reverse holo Magneton (#35), rare Magneton, and two Magnemites (#61 and #62). Nope, I’m not joking. Second, a 17.36g pack. Reverse holo Slugma, Vibrava rare. No Magnetons or Magnemites, though, so that’s a plus?

So pretty lackluster pulls. Also opened 15 POP Series 4 packs (I have too much Troll & Toad store credit), as well as a POP Series 2 pack, and a POP Series 9 pack. Was realllllyyyy hoping to get a Sceptile or Deoxys ex out of the POP Series 4 packs, but I didn’t. Meh. POP Series can’t be weighed so none of that is relevant lol, but yeah, bottom-line is: Dragon is wonky. 17.34g = heavy and 17.36g = light. I recently won a 17.35g Dragon pack on eBay that’s on its way to me and now I’m really unsure whether or not to open it lol. I probably will, though. For scientific purposes, of course.

On our livestream I opened a 1st Ed Base pack that weighed 20.76 on two different scales. Pulled a Holo Clefairy.
I have 18 packs that weighed 20.30-20.49
I had 9 packs that weighed 20.76-20.88. The one that weighed 20.76 was the Clefairy.

Thank you for the data point! Makes me think that the weights for 1st Ed. Base may be different than the weights of Unlimited Base? Unlimited Base doesn’t seem to have many holo packs that are under 21g.

Got my 17.35g Dragon pack from eBay in the mail; opened it + 2 other packs. Unfortunately all light.

  1. Dragon – Magneton #35 reverse (yes, again) - 17.35g

  2. Holon Phantoms – Pichu reverse - 17.42g

  3. Hidden Legends – Ancient Technical Machine: Rock reverse - 17.42g

So there goes like $800 lol. But what are you going to do :/. Time to buy some more packs!

Awesome!! Best of luck. I’ve been on a dry streak recently. I was planning on buying the 17.4g Dragon pack that’s on eBay, but now I’m not so sure that it’s heavy. DA Card World has 50/50 heavy Power Keepers packs for $117…pretty tempting. They also have 50/50 heavy Dragon Frontiers for $375 and 50/50 heavy Delta Species for $290. Just mentioning these in case anyone else wants to donate their money to science haha (and potentially pull a gold star?).

@zorloth, do you know what does DA Card World mean when they sell 50/50 heavy packs?

When they get loose packs in, they weigh them and make the ratio of heavy/light packs 1:1. And then they sell light packs as art sets, I believe. I’m not sure exactly how it works or why they do it, but I’m sure that they’re honest about it.

You can also have them break the pack live; people have done it with Pokemon packs quite a few times and the videos are on YouTube. I watched one recently where they pulled an Espeon ex!

I see that you have sets listed out to Boundaries Crossed. Any idea of these can be weighed successfully?

Hopefully that helps a little. I was pretty surprised to see some >21g packs be NH. These were all sourced from different people and listed as heavy.

Recently opened some ex dragon frontiers packs.

17.51 - Holo Ninetails and reverse Chikorita
17.56 - non-holo energy and reverse Pupitar

It looks like dragon frontiers has multiple weight classes in the mid 17g.

Just added a bunch of data from an xmas opening I treated myself to. Would be great to get some base set 1st ed weights in here too if we can find them! I added a column differentiating unlimited from 1st ed so if anyone has 1st ed specific openings they’re aware of definitely add! I added King Pokemon’s 20.79g Clefairy pull

First post here.

Long stem Base Unlimited - 21.27 - Blastoise
1st Ed Team Rocket - 20.86 - Here comes team rocket - non-holo

These two loose packs were purchased and opened together, but I’m assuming they were not from the same box:

1st ed Team Rocket 21.05g - holo Dark Charizard
1st ed Team Rocket 20.81g - holo Dark Blastoise

These four packs were purchased unweighed and opened together. They all came from the same booster box:

1st ed Team Rocket 20.92g - non-holo Dark Dragonite
1st ed Team Rocket 20.94g - holo Here Comes Team Rocket
1st ed Team Rocket 21.01g- non-holo Dark Charizard
1st ed Team Rocket 21.02g- non-holo Dark Alakazam
