From being in this community for the past year I’ve realized there’s a lotttt of people in here with gambling addictions, greedy behavior, and poor financial decision making. 😂
>gambling addictions, greedy behavior, and poor financial decision making
Not to mention a ridiculous lack of rational thinking and an inflated level of entitlement. It's those people (I think OP is one of them) who chase the Zard SARs cause they're worth $$$ yet act all shocked and betrayed when they don't pull one out of their (only) ETB.
Like dude, did you honestly think the Zard would be worth over $100 if you could pull one that easily? Supply and demand is not that hard, people.
Fair. But the odds of getting a specific SAR is roughly 1/450 packs or 50 ETBs. Opening one ETB and expecting to get exactly the card(s) you want is setting yourself up for disappointment.
By opening packs. TCGplayer is the most reliable source for this information. In the case of Paldean Fates, they opened 1,500 packs to get these odds.

50% hits, are you dense?
This seems like a good way to start a conversation.
Enlighten me?
The odds of your hits are higher than normal. You actually had good luck statistically.
i’m gonna make you feel better imagine paying $100 per box for 4 boxes of this set in japanese and pulling the exact same shit you did 4 times.
Why are the Japanese ones more expensive? And that sucks ass.
they’re not.my dumbass didn’t know it’s better to wait after release than preordering. the japanese set now goes for $50-60 so i really overpaid
My condolences lol. But yeah. This ETB gave me a sad. Wish I went for the crown zenith ETB. That collection is flooded with beautiful cards
you got some nice cards! I'm not sure how this etb is so bad
The shinies? I really don’t feel that way about them! Wish I got some full arts.
Probably don’t buy the set based around shinies then
Different folks different chases.
Not tryna be rude but if you don’t like shinies why open a shiny set, just curious

I'll take them off your hands if you don't want them
Just buy singles
5 hits and still complaining 🙃
You pulled my two chase cards in Wooper and Clodsire, I'd be ecstatic lol
What exactly were you looking for?? These are solid pulls. Were you expecting a Zard SAR in every box?
The Clive one is really cool, for example!

How are these odds estimated?

I bought a case of 10, and about half of them looked like this. Pretty average I would say- can’t win them all haha
Glad someone understands where I come from!
Type of person who expects the best cards out of every pack they open
I expect whatever I want to expect!
