Hi,

Is there a difference in pull rates for the 1st print box vs the other prints?

Thanks!

There is no difference in pull rates, the first print wave of Shiny Star V has a code card in each pack

Thanks! Should I pay the premium to purchase the 1st print box? I’m looking to buy one to hold long term (10+ years). Not sure how much of a value premium that will have in the future for sealed collectors or breakers.

The code cards are for redeeming points to unlock a Pokémon (Genesect, Volcanion, Marshadow) or Pokéball in the Sword & Shield game. Beyond that, I don’t see how it adds any value to the box. Unlike 1st edition boxes, the cards from you pull from this first print is identical to any other print

Any other modern Japanese boxes you recommend collecting that weren’t printed into the ground? Seems like newer sets just keep on getting printed more and more. Giratina from from VStar Universe was graded twice as much as Charizard from Shiny VStar which is my best proxy for print run with my limited knowledge.

Unfortunately I don’t have an answer for that with modern. VSTAR Universe and 151 are safe bets as they’re the most popular, but nowadays everything in modern is already optimised both in price and print-to-demand
