Pokemon TCG: XY Evolutions Sealed Booster Box

Obviously this is going to be different for everyone, but this is my absolute favorite set to come out since the original base set. I thought I was stoked with the year long 20th anniversary boxes, this just takes the cake. Not only are there the reprints from the original base set, but they made sure to throw in the Mega and EX so it's nostalgic as well as exciting to see what new cards are in the set. There are 108 cards in this set, but there are actually 113 including the 5 secret rates. Speaking of the secret rates, they are completely different than any other set I've seen in 10+ years at least. The gold border and guaranteed to be a full art was what I was expecting but the new ones aren't even holographic, and instead of being super sweet Pokémon, the cards are pretty silly with 2 of the secret rares being a flying pikachu and a surfing pikachu. No gold border, not holographic at all and no way to tell their the secret rare unless you look at the number on the bottom. It will look something like 112/108 showing that the roster number is past the "last" number. The elite trainer boxes all come with a book that lists every card in the series, even the secret rares. I did manage to pull 2 of the secret rares out of this box, and I feel like it was almost too easy. Definitely nothing like the elusive solid gold secret rare Reshiram and Zekrom from one of the early X and Y sets. This box is by far the best way to go. Buying each pack individually would cost almost twice as much so a couple friends and I each threw in $30 and we each get 12 packs, which is half the price around here at least.

GREAT PRODUCT! Now I was extremely leery going into buying this box. Its always scary buying cards from someone you don't know because fakes and tampered merchandise is EVERYWHERE! But yet I still bought it. It arrived this morning and I ripped open the box scared to what I would find. Looking at the box it wasn't in perfect condition. And the pokeball clear wrap almost looked like it was resealed so I was worried. But after looking at the box further and the packs everything seemed untouched inside. So I opened my first pack and checked the cards and they were legit and my first rare was the full art mega charizard everyone is looking for when opening this box! Great pulls great value and other then the outer packaging great quality! I will be sending some into psa and I truly think they're will be 10s or 9.5! So glad I bought this!

This was the ultimate nostalgia trip, and the boxes had great pulls. There's so much in this set, it's the epitome of awesomeness for a collector. It has full arts, ultra rares, secret rares, reverse holos, regular holos and non-holo rares ALL from the base set. It is, IMO, much better than the Japanese version of this set, which had a lower full art pull ratio. Here's how the ratios for my 3 boxes turned out (Box 1, Box 2, Box 3): Full Arts: 3, 3, 2 EX (non-FA, non-mega): 4, 5, 3 EX (non-FA megas): 1, 1, 3 Holo: 6, 5, 6 Secret Rares: 5, 5, 6 BREAK: 2, 1, 2 Reverse Holo Energy: 4, 2, 4 Reverse Rare: 8, 7, 9 Overall, I only got 1 duplicate Full Art, and there was only 1 holo rare I didn't get (Gyarados) but I got him in reverse. I received 2 holo Charizards. I received M-Charizard Full Art in the box with only 2 full arts. Highly recommend these boxes, all 3 were very, very nice for one reason or another. Not a single mediocre box.

I love the artwork style of the original cards, so it is fun to get a remake of those, even if many of the cards are not competitively viable in the current format. Also, the addition of EXs, Breaks, and Abilities has made some of these cards viable, along with the inclusion of several staple trainers and reverse holographic energies makes the set worth buying a box of. I got some really great pulls of Full Arts, EXs, Breaks, and more from this set. After opening just one box set I had just about all of the cards except a couple EXs and about 2/3 of the Full Arts from the entire set. Great purchase for a collector or someone looking to sell rare cards as a business!

This was super nostalgic to open up due to the retro art from the original base set. Being an avid collector of the pre-2000s set back in the day, this was worth every penny and would gladly do so again. The package came undamaged with the pokemon plastic wrap untouched. Naturally, I ripped a common card in half to verify the black layer/film showing that the cards were legit and not fake. In the end, I pulled a total of 25 varying holo rares (2 Mega EXs, 5 EXs, 2 Breaks, 5 standard holos including a Charizard, and 9 reverse holos). I haven't seen the likes of these cards since 2000 or before that which was a blast from the past. Definitely recommend

Pretty good value. It's a booster box what can I say? Had some good pulls had some bad pulls. I had an issue with a mew foil being damaged on the back? No idea how, rest of the cards in that pack(s) were fine hence 4 stars. For those of you saying it's fake you clearly didn't do your research into the cards Example- one person said that he found it was a fake because the artowork was slightly off. Provided no pictures nore disclosed the fact that there was 2 different prints of the card. Example b- one person said the his charzard ex was fake because the horn was on the hp NOT REALIZING that it was also one of the prints sent out and did not do reputable research. Please post PROOF if you think something is fake so people can SEE it for themselves. Did a few hours of digging and comparing and could not find any signs of fake cards. Time to send some in for grading for a definit answer.

The package was delivered on time and is exactly what I expected. The display box was sealed in the branded plastic. The display box had very minimal damage, but the individual packs and the cards themselves were fine. I had such a wonderful time opening each pack of cards and sorting through them. Seeing those original artworks from my childhood was such a huge rush of nostalgia. It was really cool seeing all the new EX card designs and artwork. I got a pretty decent variety of holos. I don't know why I see so many people complaining in the reviews about duplicates. If you do the research and know what you're buying you'll know how many cards are in the set and know that duplicates should be expected. TL;DR: In all, I had a fantastic time opening these cards and would recommend them to any new or old collectors wanting to expand there collections and to anyone who wants a rush of nostalgia from the old cards.

So Happy I finally got the Original Charizard back in my hands to add to my collection! I spent so much money buying these individual packs at the stores hoping to get that Charizard and never got him. I finally decided my best bet would be to buy this Booster Box. I'm so glad I did. I got both regular Holo Charizard and reverse Holo, Charizard ex and many other really awesome original cards and newer ones. Sure, I could have bought the Charizard card by itself online for cheap but for me it's way more special when you get a card from a pack you opened yourself and you are the first owner of the card. Very pleased with this purchase 😁

Came really quick and in perfect condition. Got some great pulls so well worth the money. x2 -Breaks, x5-EX , x3 secret rares & lots of Holos. very happy !

I love these cards, almost complete my collection. Decent price, if you are looking for some nostalgia with a little flavour of current pokemon TCG this is a great set. The set includes "full-art" style foil cards and "reverse shiny" foil cards in additional to many classic foils including Charizard, Zapdos, Nidoking and Machamp! The "secret rare" cards are not rare at all, I have many duplicates. Cool cards but rarity is a bit disappointing.

It's a bit pricey but overall the product was good, some minor corner damage probably from shipping on the box. The packs were all legit and not resealed like plenty of others i have gotten from Amazon in the past few months. the hidden fates ones seem mostly fake on amazon. Pulled the best cards you could pull so im happy and was relieved they were all legit!

Ich habe mir das Display aus nostalgischen Gründen gekauft. o Positiv: Viele der Karten sehen den Base 1 Karten von früher zum Verwechseln ähnlich. Ich hatte auch ein paar seltene Karten mit in den Boosterpäckchen. o Neutral: Wie bei allen Boosterpäckchen muss man aber einfach Glück haben. o Negativ: Auf dem Transportweg wurde das Paket angeeckt. Ein Paar wenige Karten waren deshalb leicht beschädigt.

Sehr gutes Bomben Display alles top mega zufrieden :)
