I recently got one of the random mystery boxes given to me as a gift and was quite surprised at what came inside!
I always kind of assumed that these weren’t really going to contain anything.

The first one I ever bought had a 1st edition Team Rocket pack in it. I opened it and got a Holo as well! Of course my expectations were thrown off and I wasted money on 4 more before calling it quits…
That’s amazing! I’m a little curious of how it works, like where are these old WotC packs coming from.
I don’t understand why they raised the price on these $10 dollars only to include the exact same contents. Does the box still state the chances that you may receive a vintage pack? I swear I remember it only saying “randomly inserted” on these current boxes instead of the 1:25 like it used to be, whatever it was, can’t recall.
Congrats on winning the mystery power box lotto! These suck more and more with every revamp.

Dang so miracles can happen!
I’ve been meaning to ask, and it may be a naive question, but where exactly do the vintage packs come from? Cant be re-printed?
Whichever company makes these “Mystery Boxes” probably started-out with a small hoard of the WotC-Era Packs - and/or had a contact to purchase them in vast quantity I’d imagine.
And just think about it… Let’s say that the odds are spot-on: ONE WotC-Era Pack in 1:25 Boxes. With each of these boxes selling for roughly $10.00; they’re selling $250.00 worth of boxes - and only one of those 25 boxes will actually contain a WotC-Era Pack! They could literally still make money off this business buying booster boxes at today’s eBay Prices!
I think the Fairfield company/MJ Holding have both been around since the early Pokemon days. I’ve seen MJ Holding packs as far back as Gym Heroes iirc.
As a kid I would love to buy those cheaper blisters that had 2-4 packs each and were in the tight plastic that you could never get off lol.
The boxes are $35 not $10.
My friend pulled a neo pack also, told them to keep it sealed. Opened it and pulled a non holo.

From what I’ve seen on Youtube these are now just repacks of EX/GX boxes. All packs are like the EX/GX boxes, the promo they got in it is and so is the pin. So just repack of damaged/returned product. Better to go on eBay for those sealed ‘vintage’ packs, probably cheaper and probably also weighted packs =p
