If graded you could get way more than that. I don’t know much about the newer cards, I wonder the condition of the Masaki and how many no rarity cards there are. Oh and those crystals!!! also didn’t realise how many unopened packs there was ---

I.E roughly 1:16packs For Japanese Neo Destiny (Neo 3) the pull rate was 1:30 packs. Neo 4, supposedly was 1:60. They were at a lower pull rate then the English variants and harder to get, however the Japanese did better with holos than the English variant. 😛 I heard a rumor of the 1:300 but it was said that it went with the idea of getting a Shining card for every 300 cards, not packs, so that’s consistent with the idea of getting 30 packs, full of ten cards, you had 1 card out of 30 packs of obtaining it. ---

The prices in Japan for the cards reflect that rarity, they´ve always been quite expensive over there. > > In the English set the Neo3 Shinings weren´t Ultra Rares, they didn´t even have the triple star symbol there. The Neo3 cards were printed on the regular holo sheet. > > Absolutely no clue about Neo4 Shining though. As there are more Shinings in the set, you´d think the pull rate would be higher, maybe 1:75? As 8 x 75 = 600? So you´d end up with a complete set as well with one case here. > > But until someone opens a sealed 10 box case of one of these sets we can never say for sure unfortunately 🙁 Hmm… I read it somewhere in a Beckett magazine a long time ago on the original release of the Japanese and English variants, but I’m guessing they could be wrong, or I might be forgetful, or hell, I might be wrong! At least we know for sure that the pull rates were much harder in the Japanese variants. I’m still skeptical of the idea that it was a 1:300 PACK chance. Just because someone didn’t get a Shining doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s not untrue. I think every person here has experienced some terrible luck on different accounts. I couldn’t find an official source either to say what it was. 🙁 ---

I normally feel strongly about not paying over a certain amount, but i recognize how rare these are getting and see the future proving to be extremely difficult if I waited. That’s why I paid a little more than this list price earlier in the year and went ahead and grabbed one. Anyone that feels this could be a staple part of their collection, or that has a desire to finish a collection in any sort of a timely manner, I’d advise you to not feel bad about this price at all. I wouldn’t urge anyone to buy one if they weren’t going to be happy with it. But no one should feel bad paying this price either. ---

> [@bagoly14](#): > > That price is very reasonable considering I saw 1 pack for 280$ sell about 3 years ago…since then all I saw was the ridiculous 1000$+ sale and now these. These packs were handed out and literally opened and thrown away at E3…nobody cared about them and chucked them or they opened them in hopes of finding the winning Kirby e-reader card. I still feel awful for having given away the cards inside just last year. ---
