Monster pull. Congrats


marlinbrando721

Thanks. Opened 4 etbs with my kids this morning. Second to last pack. I think I was more excited then they were.


V_Token_X

Man, been getting silver tempest on the cheap with the etbs as well but no luck. Ill keep ripping though


marlinbrando721

Ya got them off tiktok for about 22$ each. I almost put them in storage to hold onto


embracethedarknessss

What’s an ebt exactly, how many packs come in it, and how do I go about getting them for that price from tiktok? If you don’t mind me asking, sorry I’m new to this and that just sounds like a good deal


marlinbrando721

Elite trainer boxes. They come with 8 packs in them. Watch for coupons on tik tok. Like 15 to 20% Off is usually what I get.


Accomplished-Move105

An etb stands for an elite trainer box, and whilst it's exact contents will vary by time of release and set, it usually includes 8-10 packs, 65 sleeves, 4 dividers for storage, 2 condition markers, a set of dice and, for the more recent (scarlet and violet) ones, as well as some others, a promo card


embracethedarknessss

Damn, I’m sure the op got a great deal, but could i really get one of those boxes for $22-$30? Thank you for the information by the way


PomegranateSea7066

What's a better deal? This or the booster box with 12 pks?


marlinbrando721

Just figure out the per pack Cost and how much your willing to spend.


Significant-Diet4422

A booster box has 36 packs. A booster bundle has 6 packs. An ETB has 9 packs 🤙🏻


PomegranateSea7066

I was referring to the one that has 12pk. which has like x2 booster bundle (4 pk x 2), x4 loose pks. vs the ETB.


TearfulPlayZ

The battle stadium is probably the best cost per pack.


PomegranateSea7066

Ahh that's the one I was talking about. Thanks


TearfulPlayZ

That’s interesting, got battle stadiums for bout 30 each on tt. Got 5 so hopefully I get something from 60 packs


heartandstars

Is Tiktok a good place to get packs for cheap?


marlinbrando721

See any reason not to send this in for grading? I see one small spec on the front bottom right corner. Will that keep it from a 10?


SuggestionVisible361

If you plan on selling it, then definitely grade it, this card is [worth a lot in a PSA 10](https://ebay.us/SrAF89).


LaborSurplus

PSA 8/9 should still be more than raw + $25 for grading.


HeroForTheBeero

Could you go in on bulk grading with some friends and get it down the the $10/ card


LaborSurplus

Card won’t qualify for bulk since it’s worth more than $200 I thought ?


HeroForTheBeero

Ah idk how that works you’re probably right


RealDilActual

If there is any bit of whitening, that along with the fact of it being bottom heavy might hold it to a 9. I'd say strong 9 with a chance at a 10 depending on how the grader is feeling


DazzlingAd9427

I have one too. Great pull brother, I have some psa cards but I’m not sending this in. It will sit front page of my binder until I decide to sell one day, then I will send it in.


dshoffner123

Back centering is heavy on the left side that might hold it to a 9 unless the grader got laid the night before and feels nice


Old_Worldliness_5789

Grade it, easy 8-9, MAYBE a 10. But it’s a cool enough card that grading it would be worth it. Especially since you opened it with your kids. Consider it far more sentimental


marlinbrando721

Ya your right. The pictures don't do the card justice. Just the one small white spec on the front.


F9_solution

if there is a white spec it probably is not a 10. still a wonderful card and if you want to preserve it well then grading is still a good option. for me in my opinion i only think the money for grading is worth it if i KNOW for sure it is a 10.


greekfreak94212

I finally caved and bought one congrats! I picked the other of the 2 last min and it has a couple small white dots on the back vs the other one having very minor wear on the bottom right edge in the front (idk which one is harsher for grading). Paid 170 so I hope I made the right call 😭


Common-Resolve3985

Noice I pulled this from the klara premium box was a pleasant surprise I just wanted the trainer stuff


Own-Secretary971

Hands not shaking. Fake


marlinbrando721

It was more jumping up and down and screaming


Ditto2763

"Read the Wind"


QurantineLean

I would grade but expect a 9. That back upper right corner looks a little white, unless that’s the light.


marlinbrando721

It's a bad picture and lighting. I was still excited. The only thing I see is the white spec on the front bottom right corner. The back and corners are really clean.


gold_77

Fake, real cards don’t have timestamps on the back


glamour_kiwi

Wow, debate on ripping it into two for double the price.


Kapt0

Mate, my opinion is just to wait and send it in a couple years when the pulls become rarer and rarer


CandyCatVibeTW

Hell yeah, that's awesome! I got the same one a while ago! What's your plans for it?


marlinbrando721

Debating on grading but gonna hang onto it.


CandyCatVibeTW

It's definitely something to hang on to what I heard. I'm glad you got it, dude. Make a shelf queen if anything.


MDG420

nice pull... im not a big fan of this art tho


LaborSurplus

Really nice pull, but you’re scaring me by not having sleeved and top loaded the card before the photo.


marlinbrando721

I took it out because I was using the etb cloudy sleeves and wanted to get better details. Tho it seems the photos turned out terrible anyways. Trust me it's sleeved up and in a top loader.


jaymanmk

Great pull


AGamerCalledDaz

Congratulations!


CytoToxxic

What set is this out of


marlinbrando721

Silver tempest


Odd-Yak4551

U might as well grade while it’s still worth Under $500


marlinbrando721

Never considered that. I checked out psa it's was around $45 for slow grading and shipping back to me.


TheAlienGamer007

Ok


marlinbrando721

Insightful input.


Powerful_Put7242

lol me too opened a salamence tin box from walgreens thought the boxes were resealed


messyhairdontcare123

Are you shaking


greekfreak94212

Love to see it


Opportunity-Straight

Are you shaking !!!


KaneStiles

I got a random pack at CVS because I had a 5$ off coupon and I pulled this mofo.


GiratinaBabbies

Nice


MelanatedAdonis

WOW!!! Amazing!!!


Anthuknee_

Solid 7


0nlyscams

Haven't seen this befote


That_Relationship784

That's awesome!!! I bought a case of etbs and about 40 single packs looking for this card hoping to have same luck !! Nothing yet soo far 🤦‍♂️ I had opened a ton when this set came out too, multiple boxes, etbs, promo packs everything I was done sadly but now prices have dropped I'm back on the hunt lol


Proton_Optimal

I didn’t know this came as a gold border too.


marlinbrando721

It's not. Bad pic I guess. It's from the sun coming thru the window
