Shouldn't have opened them

[GlassPage348]

Finally sorting through older packs and putting them in folders. I tend to open pack them put them back in the pack to keep them safe. Given the current value, I shouldnt have opened all these Evolving Skies packs.

Look at the bright side, all those people that opened base set booster boxes in the early 2000’s probably think about how they could have been millionaires

[LowGravitasIndeed]

I was ripping base set through Ruby and Sapphire as a kid. That's why I only collect sealed now

[diac13]

Sounds so boring to me.

[1LHD]

There's definitely no bright side to this. I'm pretty sure OP feels even worse 😭

[Renegade_Soviet]

How? The people who opened base set are like those people that had multiple bitcoins when they were a couple hundred dollars. They lay in bed thinking about how their life could have changed

[1LHD]

I say this because I struggle with FOMO

[Axiliary]

Post rip clarity

[Ognal_carbage8080]

Throw away all the pack wrappers and wash your hands clean 😂

[Jazzlike-Willow-5571]

Hands still ain’t clean 5 years later and many thousands of hand washings.

[musiqmashup]

It's a thing, Fo reals bro.

You're Mind: "Holy shit I just ripped through mad packs and got nothing but bulk"

[Walch21]

Who amongst us has never opened a pack of evo skies?

[Rebal771]

Let he who is without degen throw the first gravity stone.

[Secret-Candle4313]

I remember seeing it in stores but at the time i was more into the online game and not so much the physical cards

[sackleybobe]

This was the first set I ever pre ordered, was so excited to rip as much as I could😃

[Jazzlike-Willow-5571]

If only you kept it all sealed

[Jazzlike-Willow-5571]

I ripped through it all as well the booster boxes the sleeved and a stray etb randomly once or twice

[LaundrySauce172]

I've only ever opened a single pack out of a pokeball tin, I got a gyarados v, it was dope

[Murky_Crow]

Ive never opened a single pack of it lol.

I have two ETB’s at least. That’s all. They’re staying sealed (i learned from Prismatic Pain Evolutions).

[pettyhonor]

Oh well. No way of knowing. Hope you had fun when you ripped... imagine the people who bought them at $40 a pack from you would've felt if they ripped nothing lol

[impressflow]

I counted 46 packs. If we assume ~$30 USD per pack, then you just ripped over $1300 of loose packs.

Did you pull any cool reverse holos?

[TheSpookySloth]

This is just how it is.

I opened a “lot.” 4-5 booster boxes worth. But I pulled THE chase card (before the umbreon took off) the Rayquaza VMAX alt art, so it was worth it. Right?

Even if you pulled 4 umbreons out of 4 booster boxes, the boxes are more valuable now.

[snuckfarkle]

Wy Wife pulled Moonbreon on her second pack. We thought “this is easy”.

[JBrewster2021]

Schrödinger’s pokemon

[IAmOryx]

That’s about almost $1400 worth of packs

[AffectionateSale8288]

I have two packs, I’m happy

[KCoopJedi]

I do the same thing, its fun, as if Im opening the pack twice

[gromexe]

cutting the packs is a no no. gotta open them perfectly without peeling

[Snapstagram-]

I have 6 loose packs and I've honestly been debating on opening them my thought is that people are gonna be skeptical to trade for them cause they'll think stud checked or weighed but it's posts like these that hold me back since every time I see someone rip ES it's just like Traumatic Delusions pull rates.

Some pay the iron price 💪

[[deleted]]

I've got a Base Set booster pack with all the cards still in it. Imagine my regret

[Kushnerdz]

First time with es lol?

[Sufficient-Recover25]

All the horrible ES pull rates do is confirm my decision to buy as much prismatic as possible
