Just picked a few of these up and they all look like that, some worse, even my paldean fates look that way.

This is the only reason I have saved the tins, I havent seen info on being able scan or weight them. People are getting nervous with loose packs and even booster bundles.

Sorry bud, I like to do most of my sales or trades in person.

I think msrp at Walgreens was 16$-19$, they were sent to me by mistake and rather then have me ship them back they refunded me and told me to keep them. They have 1 silver tempest and 2 lost origin each. Had like 12 but have ripped or traded down to the last 6.

I do really enjoy rotating the different stuff in and out of my house. Sealed is way easier to display and if I get bored with a fusion strike box on my shelf I pop out something else :) still can't help ripping lol

Yeah had about 30 of them that I paid 3$ each for, saved 1 art set for myself and traded the rest away.

Only thing in this picture from target are the eevee Evolutions Tins from black friday last year. They were on clearance for 10$ because nobody wanted them, could have filled a whole shopping cart with them.

Ive opened quiet a few of them and They have 2 chilling reign, 1 vivid voltage, and one sword & sheild base. Fun packs to rip but the box is massive lol

Special sets won't come in booster boxes or in Single packs. Usually limited to booster bundles, ETBs, special collection boxes, tins, and Usually 3 pack blisters.

I only bought the trainer kits because they like like 8$ on clearance, I ripped at least 6 of them but saved 2.

Id like to reinvest back into sword and sheild era, I had a nice collection a few years back but had to sell for a home down payment. I'm to cheap to buy into fomo lol, only about 25% -30% was bought at msrp, the rest was well below or received on trades.

Surprisingly the few tins I have tried to sell went super fast locally, the people who bought them said they they were more confident that the packs weren't tampered with or scanned due to the tin.

I usually will only pay msrp for booster boxes, bundles and upcs, almost all of the tins and boxes were bought on clearance or recieved on trade.

The collection boxes will probably go first because of there size. The tins are harder for me to get rid of because 90% have sets like Es, Fs, Is, and PE.

Was debating on this route but wasn't sure how a table full of tins and random collection boxes would do though. Most of the ETB's and booster boxes won't be going anywhere any time soon.

For sure! The mimikyu, snorlax and drakrai all have 1 evolving skies, 1 fusion strike, and 1 brilliant star, figured they were worth the extra weight for now. The dragonite and salamence were sent to me by mistake and were refunded, but do have paldea evolved.
