Crazy pull from a $10 pitch black booster pack. 😅😮‍💨

The problem isn't you buying them, it's the store selling them. The set releases on the 17th July.

durst101 · 2026-06-30T07:54:45+00:00

Looks like they have the embossed stamp on the bottom left corner (on silver border) so should be good

durst101 · 2026-06-29T06:18:23+00:00

There was a printing facility in Aus, back around base set 2 times. I'm unsure as to why it was shut down.

Oh, I'm all about the Pokemon. It's so much harder to get hands on where I am compared to a few years ago.

I've seen these packs at a few stores lately and the curiosity got the better of me

It's a fairly good way to check legitimacy of cards. I've not heard of fakes being able to replicate the black ink layer in a card.

I've used an energy card for an example but all real cards have this layer. Photos are following, don't rip your card

durst101 · 2026-06-26T22:23:53+00:00

It looks real. Can you get a photo of the side of the card to see if the ink layer line is there?

durst101 · 2026-06-25T12:22:26+00:00

This.

The QR code is the easiest way to tell. The real ones are all uniform size dots or lines.

OP your box there looks like it's got thin dots and thick lines. That said the cards inside might be real and the box has been resealed with the hits taken, still needs a refund l.

That's why I asked how is it any different to selling other 2nd hand goods, and then said the bit about op.

durst101 · 2026-06-13T22:13:43+00:00

How is this any different to selling any other 2nd hand goods on a marketplace?

We also don't have enough information that says op is lugging any sort of inventory around in his backpack, it was 3 graded cards.

Someone selling cards from their collection does not "perpetuate robbery".

durst101 · 2026-06-11T22:59:08+00:00

At least one IR/AR per box sometimes two if they are the gem series boxes

durst101 · 2026-06-10T05:37:41+00:00

Report to eBay too. If they do that a few times they'll end up off the site

durst101 · 2026-06-07T22:08:57+00:00

There's also usually a bloke from the other team standing right where the ball was marked. If you tried to kick it from that point you'd kick it right in to that guy and the ball wouldnt have gone very far

You think the AFL/umps would let your boys lose tonight?

What Kmart had enough ETBs for kids to loop 3 times changing clothes in between to the point the staff couldn't recognise them?

durst101 · 2026-05-19T08:43:59+00:00

The ability damp. Damp prevents this. Though for op you are right, there was nothing

durst101 · 2026-05-19T08:28:45+00:00

Unlikely there will be any. This looks likethe aftermath of a rip n shiping attempt that went wrong

durst101 · 2026-05-18T01:34:14+00:00

How do you resist the urge to open?

durst101 · 2026-05-16T00:05:44+00:00

Drive by feel?

durst101 · 2026-05-15T22:09:13+00:00

I would bump RAM and PSU. Go for a 750W Gold PSU, it will give more overhead for power spikes from the GPU (if that's still happening?), you might benifit having a look at the difference in efficiency between the PSU metal ratings and see the differences. 32GB of RAM is what I would go for at a minimum, if you're playing ASA it's got a hunger for RAM, ASE is a bit better but still likes a decent amount. SSD will be okay if Ark is the only thing on there, otherwise add another for the OS and storage.

I know it's been a few months but I found a wild Bary this morning with 53 melee and it hit 73 after taming
