[ragingkraken]

This really makes me want to get a booster box. Maybe I should see if my Tenso account is still active…

This set is amazing. Cannot wait!

Is it true there are God Packs for this set?? That’s a first for a non high class set, no?

[Dyl]

Yes, it appears that God Packs are found in this set.

So 1 reverse holo master ball pattern per box. That is the same rarirty as an SR. Crazy!

How are you guys going to arrange your binder? I am leaning towards pokedexing everything, including the AA, but not sure.

[Hitmonhops]

I just want the Erika, Mew, Alakazam and maybe the starters to start.

this [Item] Trainer has been printed in every era since Base Set

I normally go by card number but I could be swayed to go by dex

[inertgeometry]

whatever looks best in the binder is always my goto

[Filthy_Casual]

The dot work on the card reminds me of the art in where the wild things are

Are you a distributor licensed with the Pokémon center in Japan? I buy enough stuff from them that I wonder how easy it is to go down this route, and if it’s even possible. Would be much nicer than having to deal with lotteries and whatnot all the time.

[Schileru]

I’m hoping over time they’ll release art rares for every Kanto Pokemon, and then I’ll do a Pokédex binder.

[smpratte]

Most pokemon center product is typically restricted. I have access to certain items that go through them but anything promotional like nagabas, poncho pikas, etc is exclusive to the Pokémon center.

Hopefully Alakazam doesn’t come flying out the gates. My Shinya Komatsu collection is the only artist collection I have managed to get all full art cards for so far.

Pardon if someone did the math above already - but with the Master Ball reverse holo set…that makes a master set a total of 516 cards??? And there’s one MBRH per box???
