Paid $179 which is more than retail price. Cards are in the original packaging, but shrink wrapped rather tightly causing the packaged cards toward the front to be slightly bent. Packaging seems flimsy for the price. Bought for teenaged son for Christmas. If you are buying for your little one who’s obsessed with Pokémon then you may not care. If you are a collector (or wannabe) hoping to have cards rated for value, not sure. Son opened the box and checked each card. Fortunately, the cards appear to be in good shape and he got a good selection of cards.

I was weary at first when the powder was coming off the plastic pokemon print. I inspected and counted all the packs and made sure it wasn’t resealed and non were.
I got 7 rareish cards in total ranging from $2-$7 in value so I may have about $35 in valuable cards. Overall you won’t recoup the cost of an entire $150 box unless you pulled 3 x $50 Charizard VMAX cards which you will never achieve.
My 9 year old son was happy with all the packs regardless but I could have gotten him 2 boxes of the cheaper sets instead but I wanted to gamble on the rarest Charizard card haha. Something for everyone with each box!

I was scared to buy this bc of the little reviews that said resealed. But i just opened 4 packs and got this so far and got these cards, so safe to say its a trusted sauce.

While I still got a couple decent pulls, I was a bit suspicious of resealing due to a few things:
1. Flaps were firmly glued down (I’ve not seen this before when buying direct from Pokemon)
2. Code cards had the code facing outward (again, I’ve never seen this when buying direct)
Other than those things, everything seemed okay, but with so much resealing going on, I feel it necessary to give my caution. If this is a normal occurance, feel free to let me know.

Let me start off & say this right off the bat.
Any 3rd party seller you risk the fact of resealed packs. Especially is this day & age where so many people want to scam.
I made sure I was buying straight from Amazon. The pictures I attached were taken as I received it & open it up. The package itself was in good condition. Only a few dents on corners & small dent at top on front of box. Kinda is expected not to be perfect. The shrink wrap looked a little like it was resealed. Though I have a good idea why.
I live in Tx near Houston. We still had crazy humidity and heat in December. The shrink wrap that is with these does not handle heat well especially in a warehouse for a long period of time which is where mine was stored in Katy Tx.
As I opened it up you could tell that the packs were a tad too big for the box. The front left pack & back right pack had some damage to the bottom probably due to box being a tad small. I even tried to carefully fit the packs in without damaging them & I couldn’t get them back in without risking any damage.
I inspected every single pack before opening. Since I’ve gotten back into collecting recently you can easily tell factory sealed packs after opening up 30 prier to the booster box from different sets & other box’s I received through reliable ebay sellers, walmart, target etc.
I can say in my personal opinion there was no clear evidence of tampering other that outside seal resealed due to heat / humidity here tearing it / other warehouse issues.
All the cards I got were in great condition. Few packs, maybe 4 tops the holos have a little wear on top where you can see a lil holo peaking through. I would assume it’s because other things might of been set on top of it & those packs were sticking up a little compared to others.
Overall I am very satisfied with my transaction. Saved a little money too since if you buy individually it’s $4 plus tax a pack. That’s $144 not including tax.
I paid $134 & check out the pulls I got. Added some of my favs from the reverse holo & regular holo’s.
I highly recommend this product if bought from Amazon directly or a RELIABLE 3rd party. Always do your research.
Hope this helps any potential buyers. Enjoy your day or night whenever it may be when you read this.

Probably like many if you guys, I read the reviews and was pretty skeptical due to so many bad reviews of the items being resealed. Still I went ahead and tried my luck. The packaging seemed untampered with, but upon opening, the packs had little slits that seemed as if they were resealed. I did a little bit if research and it is possible for factory sealed packs to have these small slits, so I went ahead and opened them up. As shown in the pictures, I got a few decent cards. Nothing spectacular but the pack didn’t seem like a dud as I still had 8 total v and vmaxes including the rainbow rare butter free which was my favorite.
If any if y’all are looking to buy, I would go with the one that is sold by Amazon and not from the other sellers.

When I read all the reviews, I must admit that I was nervous about buying this product. I decided to just take my chances and hope for the best. When it arrived, I was surprised it was actually factory sealed and was in very good condition. I opened up the first pack from the box to see if it was real. On the first pack, I pulled a eturnatus Vmax. I opened up the rest. When I was finished, I got 1 full art trainer, 6 v cards, and 3 vmax cards, 2 of them being a secret rare.very satisfied with this product and would recommend for everyone.

There are a lot – A LOT – of reviews here that pretty much boil down to ‘I didn’t get the picks that I want, so these packs have been tampered with, resealed, or outright fake.’
I’ve ordered this twice, and both times got exact what I paid for and it has been superb. As someone recently getting back into collecting, it’s been pretty neat to be honest. This product can get somewhat expensive, but Pokemon cards fluctuate a lot and being the oldest available set in stores right now this one is marked to increase as soon as it finished tapering off of the shelves, so while it’s a bit pricier than fusion strike or chilling reign it might be worth it in the long run.
