Pokémon Card Game Scarlet & Violet Enhanced Expansion Pack Raging Surf Box (Japanese)
Pokémon Card Game Scarlet & Violet Enhanced Expansion Pack Raging Surf Box (Japanese): Each Box contains 30 packs, each pack contains 5 cards. Of the 30 packs there were 15 that contained standard cards only, 7 that contained a hologram card, 4 that contained an EX card, & 4 that contained a full art card with one of those being a higher rarity card (this is what is expected in every box). We checked the weight of the packs using a cheap scale and were very easily able to separate them; I would not recommend buying any loose packs or open boxes. If you don't receive what's listed above and your box looks at all tampered with it should be questioned. If you do get a mixture of what's listed above but cards you don't like that's just bad luck. My included picture shows the that we were easily able to pull the more desired packs leaving a stack of unopened packs which only include standard cards. We did open the remainder and were able to verify what was expected. We ordered two boxes but at the time of review have only opened one. There were some shipping issues and when we received them the boxes were in rough shape, but luckily all the cards were in good condition. As long as these are shipped in bags from Amazon I see this as a continuing issue, I would not expect to receive these boxes in a collectors condition. If these are shipped by Amazon and you want to add a little more protection to your cards I would recommend ordering these with additional items, or in a gift bag (if the option is available) and hope for a shipping box. I would rate the production quality of the cards as very high, the cuts were clean, the colors were very vibrant, the centering is good, and the edges were all in good shape even after the shipping issues and crushed boxes. I was very impressed by color depth and art quality of the Tapu Koko full art card, and the EX cards I received. This is a smaller collection only numbered to 62, including six EX cards, plus the full art cards #63-#92, because of this it would be very easy to collect all of the standard cards (#1-#62) of this collection, and considering that the box will contain 146 cards which fall into the #1-#62 range expect to get many duplicate cards, I was lucky enough to receive four of the six EX cards in the box I opened. Overall, this is a nice set with some good cards, quality printing and designs. Enjoy, and have fun. Read more
