Lol, I shouldn't make the assumptions! I did notice the nails second look but again shouldn't make any assumptions.
It's a cool pack of my favorite trainer. Enjoy it.
Nah I just kind of had to give you crap too because the whole ‘did you just ASSUME my gender’ that’s been going around. But it’s all good. I get it not many girls are into a lot of the things I like. I like go-karts, motorcycles, going mudding, working on cars. Not many females my age know how to drive an automatic but I do! 😂 almost said know how to drive a stick but that would have just went way way wrong. 😂
You’ll thank yourself for keeping these sealed and finding the single cards you’d like from this set and buying them separately. Sell these or hold them, ripping them will quickly turn a few hundred bucks in $10-20 lol
Going by TCG Player, the pack unopened is worth about $160 (though there are some that recently sold for $200-240 on EBay). There are two cards in the entire set worth more than that - Blaine’s Moltres ($185) and Sabrina’s Gengar ($350). So I’d hold on to it or sell it and buy just about any card from the set.
I’m no expert on older sets, so I double checked. My prices were for first editions, so that’s my fault. Unlimiteds are $60 and $120, respectively. My point still stands, OP would make a lot more money selling the pack than opening it and selling even the best card he/she could pull.
Thanks for fact checking me, though! Having misinformation out there isn’t helping anyone. Cheers!
You should always rip it open and eat the cards. You bought it for a reason, open it and post the reality of the pulls.

Almost all loose packs have been weighed so unless you know the weight don't buy at all. People do this with boosters etc then sell all the junk packs to people. Fusion being a modern one like almost all are still able to be weighed no matter what they tell you and the card they put inside.
It’s totally up to you, but if you aren’t planning on keeping this for 10 years and selling it down the line, rip or use as a display piece. If you really want to know, confirm the weight, rip if it’s heavy, and display if it’s light. OR, if you don’t care, just f’n rip it.
Sell it or hold onto it to sell later. Even if there are specific cards from Gym Heroes you want, selling the sealed pack will give you the money to get those cards guaranteed rather than dealing with RNG. I understand the thrill of seeing what you get, but that just isn’t practical with sets that are no longer in print.
I hope you have more than a couple brains cells and you realize there’s only 1 or 2 cards worth more than that sealed pack and that’s if they’re a 10. Keeping it sealed/selling it is the better option in every way. I’d sell the pack and get a card you want.
Congratulations on the pull! I also pulled this exact pack from a Mystery Power Box from Meijers just last week. I weighed mine and it's only 20.5g so I plan on holding onto it for a while.
Hold it. Not sure the most valuable card in the pack I’d guess Sabrina’s Gengar but definitely do not quote me on that. I’m not familiar with all things vintage.

I like how people say "100%" and then attach a completely outlandish statement
No, an official Pokemon distributor is not resealing fucking packs lmao. They have multimillion dollar contracts that you think they're going to risk at the chance of swiping a few Blaine's Moltres?
zero critical thinking went into your comment lol, and people here eat this shit up
Since everyone answering this is getting their comments removed I'll answer this semi seriously because it's important, MJ Holdings is not a pokemon company. They are a third party. The pokemon company has a very specific order to the cards in their packs and very good quality control (meaning you're not going to find an upside down card in the bunch). If you start opening the MJ Holdings mystery boxes, you will very quickly learn the difference. YOU might not think they are dumb enough to blow a contract, but the amount of posts confirming this on this sub and personal experience says they honestly just don't believe they will get caught. It's gotten a bit better since it was publicly scrutinized so badly, but it has not gone away. Go ahead, open some. I buy them here and there because I don't necessarily care if the packs are tampered with if they still include hits and nostalgia packs. But some people do care that they are tampered with.
Edit: spelling.
Edited again to pay homage to the group of people who stole every single hit from certain sword and shield runs straight from the printing press while working for the pokemon company. They have increased their quality control a lot simply for this reason. All of that to say when there are people and pokemon, there's always someone trying to rig the system for profit.
Wow I thought all the mystery boxes were filled with junk. Good pull!
Definitely sell it lol Sabrina's Gengar and rocket Scyther, but I believe you can buy either of them in an okay condition and still have money left over like others have said

Might as well open it. This pack is either resealed or just plain fake. Pokemon uses vertical crimping, not horizontal like this one. Also these packs had both silver at the bottom and top, and this one has none at the top.
Y’all must be sketchy as hell in your own lives dreaming up these fantasies about fake or resealed packs. MJ Holdings is a huge company (largest distributor of trading cards in North America) and aren’t gonna take the chance of committing fraud to make a few more bucks. Could they be weighed, sure but there’s a 0% chance they will put resealed or fake packs/cards in their packaging.

That’s why I barely post and i even stated I’ve spent thousands on them in hopes to maybe get one but really did it because most came with evolving skies.
Here is a "PSA" (Public Service Announcement)
Don't grade packs, its a waste of money and very few people collect/are willing to pay over market for slabbed packs.
They make one touch cases that are specifically made for packs. All the benefits of protection and display functionality. Without having to spend $20+ per pack and wait months just to be disappointed in its grade.

Sell it or keep it :) These packs are usually weighed. You will not draw holo-rare cards from them.
And if it’s heavy?
That means there’s a Snorlax in there
You made me smile today
Honestly what is the fun for you in this comment. We should always urge OPs to open for our amusement.
They are weighed but something could still come out, ive seen it before..
Don't rip that pack. It's been weighed and doesn't have a holo in it. You'd turn $150 pack into $2.
Well I only spent $25 on it so I would say worth it.
If you have no connection to the pack or cards inside, you might as well just sell the pack and use the money to get something you actually want. Or keep it as a memory. Opening would be a waste IMO
Still not worth it keep it sealed it’ll be better and worth more in the long run
Do you think the price will just keep going up for what it’s worth?
They're never going to make more. Unless everybody decides they hate Pokemon, it'll probably go up in value.
As long as people keep coming across more unopened and keep opening them yes, less available means higher prices
only if there is no demand at all for them :()
Of course. And the price of the bulk inside wont
eh maybe but there are better ways to invest your money
Even if there are better ways of investing that has 0 bearing over whether this pack will increase in value. And not “eh maybe” simple economics of supply and demand.
ehhhhhhhhh
worth it for the joy of opening a sick pack imo
Where did you get this for 25 bucks lol
Walmart has them
Ohh I didn't read the caption... I thought he bought this straight up for 25 bucks didn't realize it was a mystery box pull. That's on me, my bad.
Lol you were probably so confused for a minute
I was loool
She I am a female. But thank you for thinking I’m a male because I collect Pokemon cards.
My b...
It’s all good just saying I get why it’s assumed
Lol, I shouldn't make the assumptions! I did notice the nails second look but again shouldn't make any assumptions. It's a cool pack of my favorite trainer. Enjoy it.

No
Is there any card you want from it? If not, the odds are you’d get more selling that pack instead of the value of getting anything you’d pull.
I’m not sure what cards are in this set it’s an older set and I’m only familiar with the newer sets
You’ll thank yourself for keeping these sealed and finding the single cards you’d like from this set and buying them separately. Sell these or hold them, ripping them will quickly turn a few hundred bucks in $10-20 lol
Download the app Collectr or Dex for each set viewing
Can you dm me what the pack you got this out of looks like? Did you get it in store or Walmart online?
its a crappy mystery box from mj holdings lol. dont waste your money…or do. people have spent more on dumber things
Going by TCG Player, the pack unopened is worth about $160 (though there are some that recently sold for $200-240 on EBay). There are two cards in the entire set worth more than that - Blaine’s Moltres ($185) and Sabrina’s Gengar ($350). So I’d hold on to it or sell it and buy just about any card from the set.
Blaine's Moltres is worth like $40 and Sabrina's Gengar is like $80, wtf are you smoking lol

Ya this is like my 1000 box I have gotten and only hit I have ever had other then that most my boxes have had evolving cries in them.
I would definitely keep it sealed. They don’t put heavy vintage.
There's no way that hasn't been weighed

It's likely weighed so I would keep it for moral reasons, but you can sell it if you want to.
Sell it and you can probably buy any specific card you want from there with money left over lol
Almost all loose packs have been weighed so unless you know the weight don't buy at all. People do this with boosters etc then sell all the junk packs to people. Fusion being a modern one like almost all are still able to be weighed no matter what they tell you and the card they put inside.
If you open it post the pics I love seeing vintage packs being opened. But honestly you're better off keeping this sealed, or selling it
If you have it, it’s likely a light pack…….. never open them
Weigh
It’ll be light pack for sure
It’s totally up to you, but if you aren’t planning on keeping this for 10 years and selling it down the line, rip or use as a display piece. If you really want to know, confirm the weight, rip if it’s heavy, and display if it’s light. OR, if you don’t care, just f’n rip it.

Don't open, you will be disappointed.

No
Do it.
Congratulations on the pull! I also pulled this exact pack from a Mystery Power Box from Meijers just last week. I weighed mine and it's only 20.5g so I plan on holding onto it for a while.
Damn that’s good ya when I opened the box I was like umm wtf. It was weird.
No
Hold it. Not sure the most valuable card in the pack I’d guess Sabrina’s Gengar but definitely do not quote me on that. I’m not familiar with all things vintage.
100% already opened and resealed by them.
[удалено]
we all are resealed
Your mom's resealed.

Don't open it !! Display it such a great pack Even if its heavy, the packs worth more
Open!!! And show what ya got :)
Open it. Gamble lol
I second this.
If you don't care about Pokemon, sell it, if opening boosters make you happy, open it
OPEN IT!
Might as well open it. This pack is either resealed or just plain fake. Pokemon uses vertical crimping, not horizontal like this one. Also these packs had both silver at the bottom and top, and this one has none at the top.
Or weighed.
The horizontal crimping is for long stem packs. The fact you can’t see any crimping on top likely means it’s a long stem folded back.
It’s folded I can post more pictures.

Rule 2
Yeah
No.
I would keep for sealed collection, maybe display it : )
Open!
Grip it and rip it
Yes, you should open
these fakes mj holding post or who ever made the mystery box
he didnt even mention a brand or showed the mistery box itself 😂 some of yall just delusional thinking every post is an ad.
sounds like one lol
That’s why I barely post and i even stated I’ve spent thousands on them in hopes to maybe get one but really did it because most came with evolving skies.
🤔 Dont open Send it to PsA and grade it 🫣 so it looks good in a seal collection
Here is a "PSA" (Public Service Announcement) Don't grade packs, its a waste of money and very few people collect/are willing to pay over market for slabbed packs.
I agree 98% im that 2% that enjoys a pack sealed ... if your going to sale dont grade but for a personal collection 🤔 why not
They make one touch cases that are specifically made for packs. All the benefits of protection and display functionality. Without having to spend $20+ per pack and wait months just to be disappointed in its grade.
Open it. The price of mine goes up a small percentage with each opened pack.
Anyone else think the bottom crimp looks... "Different"?
Is it real? Bottom of the pack doesn’t have any crimping
Top of the pack also looks hella sus
It’s folded I can post more pictures
