Something I’ve noticed about the Shiny Star V set is how there are 2 different versions of box art and pack art. A small amount of text which promotes the code cards for the SWSH Expansion. Next to the Lapras on the boxes, and next to the Charizard on the packs.
Boxes:
Packs:
EDIT : As other have said, the first print is actually the ones with the logo and the code cards inside.
Would appreciate more information if anyone has any!
I think theres a lot of false information out there, the quantity is much higher than what youd think, and the cards themselves are from a shotty generation mostly
Its actually the opposite lol. They released the ones with the code first (the one with the yellow lettering on top of the V) and gave players a certain amount of time to redeem the codes and after that they started printing the ones with no codes ( no logo) .
I noticed it with the sealed cases first. One has blue printing on the cardboard case that hold the boxes and the other has green. I asked a Japanese seller what the difference was and here was his response:
The green cardboard box is the first edition and the blue one is a new one.
The first edition of the pack includes the campaign code “Phantom Pokemon Get Challenge”.
There is a small description like that in the upper right part of the logo in the photo image of the first edition pack.
The package of the new version doesn’t have that description.
But the contents of the card and the number of cards are the same.
Thank you for your consideration.
