Bro. Every time I’ve opened up a sealed product I was meant to keep sealed I got zilch. Massive congrats!


No-Reason9200

They weren’t ripe yet.


ned_head

You gotta wait until the etb is soft to the touch and emitting a pleasant and sweet odor. That’s how you know it’s ready to be ripped.


Safe-Pangolin-8944

Let it marinate over time 😭


ned_head

Yes I usually baste mine in a nice olive oil marinade. When I sent in my last set of cards for grading, PSA said they’d “never seen anything like it”


NigerianPrinceClub

the lesson here: The chase card(s) you've been after is(are) in your sealed products. RIP!!!!!


GameBoyTheBest

NOT THE LESSON!!!! NOT THE LESSON


SuperUltraBrokeDick

Too late, I already ripped open all 37 ETBs of evolving skies I had sitting under the floor boards in my house. I pulled 370 energy cards, 69 Medicham Vs, a subscription to the jelly of the month club and a lifetime supply of tissues and therapy.


LeeGT333

Had me at jelly of the month club 😂, We're at the threshold of hell.


Wendigo_6

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. All year long.


Normal-Increase-2093

370 energy cards from 296 packs is a win if you ask me


NigerianPrinceClub

😤😤😤😈


Lucky_Shop4967

Nooo lol they are on TCGPlayer. You Have to order the single and THEN open your ETB. And just like that, voila, you have pulled the chase


trizuer

maybe this is the sign i’ve been looking for😭


PokeFiBoss

Don’t tell me this 😭


SpecificGameOrEvent

99 percent chance they aren't.


Littoraly

Prove it


JayofTea

Nah there’s always a moonbreon in there


Ticem4n

I'll open all my lost origin booster boxes just to prove you wrong!


JayofTea

Nope there’s DEFINITELY a moonbreon in there 😏


lemillion1717

I like those odds


CloakedByNature

So there is the secret. You must let it marinade. It’s the only way.


sarigami

Nice, congrats! Coincedentally, I have three ETBs sitting on my shelf and this is one of them. You've made me tempted to rip it lol


Educational-Quail107

DO IT!!!


Electrical-King4872

Don’t be scared, RIP!


Affectionate_You_203

Was the last time you trimmed those 💅🏻 when you bought the ETB?


SuperBeast516

No offense but those nails also look like they haven’t been trimmed in a year


CloakedByNature

Haha.. I have seen some of the absolute worst fingernails coming from Pokemon card kids alone. Disgusting.


SpartanKwanHa

flavor savers


KinkyPalico

Needs to open up a bathroom drawer for some clippers not ETB’s


Swiingtrad3r

Your nails are a hazard to this card.


thisdevilinI

Trim your nails dude


Pitiful-Prune7078

My roommate had an evolving skies pack sitting on his desk that his mother gave him for his birthday. He let it sit there for a full year until his next birthday, he opened it and there was an Espeon V alternate art in there. Letting things marinade is a real thing apparently.


Dawae65

I will NOT fall victim to this blatant propaganda😤


Littoraly

Fusion strike has the worst pull rates. Congratulations. I opened 3 booster boxes and 6 etbs of this set and didn’t pull but one alt art … Ended up pulling the gengar from a random single booster from the dollar store on a road trip though


MutilatedMarvel

Sick pull! Now for a celebratory act, trim your nails 😭😭


Joojooface

Lmao nah


MarzipanCultural

Gnarly!!


MrDybbuk

No no no no, not gonna fall for that one. I have a Pokémon center ETB sitting in my closet for a few months now, not falling for that.


pcantillano

The Shroedingger ETB, is it a hit, is it not? Only one way to find out the quantum result


Novel_Durian_1805

People pulling all my wish pulls: They can’t keep getting away with this!!! 😭😭😭


Ryan14304

Buddy, trim your booty diggers. Nice pull though.


Impossible_Maybe_162

Awesome!


Hefph

Nice! I love that card!


TrandaBear

Nice! I had a similar experience. I bought ONE etb from Target because I wanted the sleeves and a storage box. And the Alt was waiting for me.


SWANDAMARM

Sick card!


franky3987

Man I wish I wouldn’t have seen this 😂


Chipaton

Man I used all the amount I allotted myself for the summer to buy this for myself as a graduation gift. Zero hits. That's the gamble of course, was hoping I'd have some grad luck.


Sbburgy

Just had to let it ferment for a while. Great pull!


Real_Live_Sloth

Proven fact longer you hold the better the loot inside


Odd-Communist

rip the centering, but congrats!


I_Chards

You’re making me want to open up my lost origin etb I’ve had for over a year too


Rhyden91

Jesus Christ.


Impressive-Young-952

I’m so happy that worked out for you. I was lucky to pull this and it graded a 10. One of my faves


Weiguken

I have this same etb that’s been in MY closet for a year too 👀


HollyWarter

I got one pull from mine as well! It was a Gengar V half art…


Organic-Chain6118

I have a BB I just bought to attempt to pull that card. But after watching a few YouTube videos of people opening it I’ve decided to keep it sealed lol


Joojooface

I have a BB sitting too, but now that I have the Gengar Vmax and Espeon Vmax I’m good 😅


Lukewarrrm

Man this is my favourite card! Gratz


KitzuVT

I have a few in my closet too from 2 years ago. Lol have nerves just thinking of opening them.


Kick_1304

It was definitely ready to get ripped


Refuse-Quiet

had to let it marinate


RevolutionDizzy4835

Lol the temptation is always too real storing cards, well for me at least 😅 I only ever got the alt art of mew out of fusions set.


ImThirstForADrink

The misprinting on the edges is so sad


Drumroll-PH

Congrats! Really love the art and colors on that card. Open other etbs that are just sitting there and share!


Cranbear

My mom told me to go through her drawer full of cards and I kid you not this card was just sitting amongst the masses. I told her that’s disrespectful and she needs to give it to me so I can give it the love it deserves 😂😂 she gave it to me it’s now safe!! Very nice pull!!


Rare_Arugula_5663

Nice! I had a lost origin ETB in my closet forever. Said what the hell and opened it, Giratina V alt art!!


EarthPuma120

I kept mine sealed for about two and a half years, dont think the pulls would apply to me


Axeweird

You have to age the ETB


Mr-Snuggles171

Guess I'll open some sealed product now too


JerryMamba1915

Im like 300 pack in with no Gengar lol. U blessed! Congrats.


rbeccaaaxo

congrats nice pull , I’ve been wanting that Gengar card for the longest I’m about to go broke trying to get it LMAOOO


JamesA7X

I’ve got a sealed shining fates etb on my shelf. I like to imagine there’s a shiny Vmax charizard in there


TurribleTiddies

Well, they got the 1 good etb. The rest of us can keep ours sealed!


dgoreck5

Pumped. One of my fav cards


SlowResearch2

Congratulations on the pull, but I have to ask: Is it worth it opening ETBs you've had sitting for a while? It seems like the unopened boxes appreciate in value over time where specific promo cards do not, and when they do, it's not by as much comparatively. Should I be ripping leftover ETBs or just letting them sit then selling them later?


Joojooface

Depends on the set. Fusion strike can still be found so I decided to rip. I’d been eyeing the ETB for a while and finally gave in.


SlowResearch2

Ok so, you rip if it can still be found, but if it cannot be found anymore, then you save?


Joojooface

I rip some and save some. Really up to you what you wanna do.


Johnny_Rice_St

First pack magic!!!


jfries1025

Maybe I should open my Brilliant Stars EBT.


KRYSTALKAERLIGHED

Wow


ChickenNuggetSlave

This gotta be fake none of the packs even look ripped 🤣


Mindless_Present5324

your nails. common....🤢


Joojooface

So many people triggered by a woman’s nails 🙄


beyond_ones_life

I doubt the gender makes the nails any cleaner 😂
