Nice steals. Did any crystals come with that Aquapolis set? The best deal I ever got was paying $450 for 45 Base Set Booster Packs, and all of them were Blastoise Art-work haha ---

Wow those are great deals. Mine isn’t in the same league as yours but I recently picked up a Rocket’s Zapdos ex, Raikou ex (TMTA), Pop 4 holo Mew and Flareon gold star for the equivalent of $12 US. There were a couple of other holos too that weren’t worth much, but overall I think that was a lucky catch. ---

I got this in the mail today! I’m gonna crack them open. Wish me luck because I am going to need it… Thanks to a certain UPCCC member’s hard work in tracking them down and resisting the temptation to open them. ---

> [@elam18](#): > > Are you opening all 6 booster boxes? I think I might… But it felt like killing a baby opening the first box. I don’t really collect sealed stuff but I know others do but also it is near impossible to buy these single cards anywhere. ---

Looks like I am 5 cards short I opened all 6 boxes. I just weighed out all of the heavy packs because there is no sense opening packs that someone might want to keep sealed. I got jipped one heavy pack. The first 5 boxes had 5 and the last only had 4, so I may have missed one. It took me forever to get all the trainers, two in particular. ![](http://i.imgur.com/QpqkV9O.jpg) ![](http://i.imgur.com/rG68ZBJ.jpg?1) ![](http://i.imgur.com/v9nTvYG.jpg?1) ---
