> [@fourthstartcg](#): > > @bagoly14 I’m assuming @soulwind was being sarcastic…what’s the deal with this seller? This seller’s auctions nearly always go a good bit over market price. He provides good customer service and nice extras so many people really like him. ---

> [@darkrai](#): > > I personally think that the pull rate of 1:300 packs might be true, because there were 600 packs or 10 boxes per case. So you would get one complete Master Set from a case back then. > > 1:30 packs definitely isn´t true, I´ve seen mutiple boxes of Neo3 opened which didn´t contain even 1 Shining, and no boxes that contained 2. The prices in Japan for the cards reflect that rarity, they´ve always been quite expensive over there. I agree. I opened one of my sealed boxes of Neo 4 a year ago, and there wasn’t a single shining in any of the packs. After that, I decided to leave all the remaining boxes sealed and let others try their luck. ---

> [@fourthstartcg](#): > > @bagoly14 I’m assuming @soulwind was being sarcastic…what’s the deal with this seller? I actually like that seller (they provide great service and mint cards). That said, there is some wizardry at work because their auctions ends high every time. ---

I will. I’ve also been eying those Mint EX cards for a long time. They were priced very high and I wasn’t sure if they were worth it. I just bought nearly $500 of cards from Professor Oak and I returned 2/3 of them. I like the guy and the service. I’ll leave it at that. Can anyone explain to me why 1st ed Deoxys is so rare in japanese. Feel free to answer via PM. ---
