Blisters VS Boosters

[PokemonTrader]

Eww!

But I mean I knew that I'd have bad luck with boosters...
Now to update my trade thread....

I wasn't hoping for anything spectacular.
Just maybe an EX that I seem to keep getting...
xD Registeel and Hooh for life xD

Bad luck with 8 boosters, probably because i bought at different stores and it was 6DGX and 2 DEX

2 holos (1 Garchomp), 2 Rescue scarf, 1 Sableye reverse, 1 Juniper, 1 WLFM, 2 GRPD

[PokemonTrader]

Still those are pretty good pulls.
Where did you buy them at? Local card shops?

1 Garchomp is still $10, if you bought them for $2.50... then I mean, you are halfway outta the hole~!

[PokeCuber]

egg. Its all in canadian, thats why the packs are expensive
2 for 8.96, (4.00 plus tax)
3 for 4.50
3 for 10.96 (3.25 plus tax)

Ill probably buy from the store that sells for $3.25 a pack, I tend to get good stuff from that store

I wanna work my way to $100 store credit using Trollandtoad and Amazon (via swagbucks) combined, to get 36 blister packs of Exalted. (just for a higher pull rate of ultra rares) I wanna complete the set.
OR maybe a booster box. im not sure yet.

[PokemonTrader]

I agree our pricces on packs is expensive.
At least you don't have to go to Walmart and pay $4.79 per pack.

[PokeCuber]

I rarely do that. Walmart does 4.99 (5.59 inclusing tax.) in canada. Toys r us sometimes does a 25% off so im paying 4.19 inclusing tax per pack.
so its like buying them in Oregon.

[PokemonTrader]

Ahh... Well we don't even have a card store here so meh. xD

I haven't seen a booster back NOT in a blister pack in ages! I'd love to buy a whole booster box at some point though... but I do still like the blister packs as well because I feel like it's a little 'safer' lol.

For anyone who cared to read, I recently made a thread about PTCGO pull rates, and a member here posted the following

We are used to packs from booster boxes, or loose packs in moderation as part of a single shipment. An example of the latter would be the blister packs you find in Target. Thus, we expect a certain degree of ORDER to our pulls. For instance, we don't expect to get four EXs from five packs, and we don't expect to pull three Mews before we pull a Terrakion. In TCGO, this is disrupted, because every possible pack combination is in a giant pool. You would get this same seeming lack of randomness if you were to take every single English DRX booster pack and throw them into a swimming pool, mix them up, and take out a group of fifty.

I feel this "rule" is the same that dictates the pull rates for blisters, which is why people get crazy pull rates at times.

As an aside, I was brought 3 DEX blisters. One was opened, I opened the other and a Groudon EX FA popped out. Didn't bother opening the other

Boosters In Australia Are $6

I've had pretty good luck with blisters. I've pulled Magnezone Prime, Zekrom EX, and more recently Giratina EX from blisters purchased at Walmart.

I got a Kingdra Prime from a blister. :)
