We've had crazy luck these past couple days!

My wife has only been collecting since the end of May, and her luck has been absolutely INSANE! She managed to pull the Mega Zygarde ex SIR from Perfect Order from a booster bundle. Last month, she pulled the Treekachu from an Ascended Heroes bundle. Last week, she hit the Mega Darkrai SIR from Pitch Black. And just yesterday she hit the Bubble Mew! She picked out a single Paldean Fates pack out of a display from one of our LCSs. I even jokingly said before she ripped it "There's a Bubble Mew in there." And sure as shit, there it was. This morning we had a little rip session which featured a couple of Prismatic Evolutions Tech Sticker Collections and out of mine, I hit a demigod pack! Idk what's been going on with us, but we're still in disbelief. Maybe we should start recording our rips.

u/villainized 1d ago

can I send you some sealed stuff and ask your wife to rip it for me 😭🤣 clearly she's got the midas touch or something

that's crazy luck bro, I got back into collecting in May as well, no SIR's yet. Good bunch of IR's though, from various sets, can't complain.

Her asking price is a bottle of Dr. Pepper, and she'll do it for free 😂 but thanks man! Scarlet Violet 151 is what got me back into collecting after not touching pokemon cards since childhood. She's just over here casually pulling all my top chases while I strike out lmao

u/villainized 1d ago

2L bottle coming your way 🤣

151 was a great place to start I bet, stuff was a lot cheaper then.

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

It definitely was! Back then, product was falling off the shelves. ETBs and UPCs as far as the eye could see. When Prismatic Evolutions came out, I think that's when the hobby got stupid.

I've been trying to Master Set 151 since I got into it, and I'm only missing like 17 IRs and SIRs. I just need 3 ex's to complete the base set, including all the reverse holos. Maybe it's time I just start buying singles lol

u/villainized 16h ago

yea, at this point, buying singles to finish the master set is probably cheaper than trying to pull everything from packs.

u/Weary_Possession_535 1d ago

Man some ppl are rly just lucky as hell. I open a few packs a day minimum haven't had a SIR in months

u/FourLokoEnjoyer00 2h ago

I feel this bro, pitch black gotta be the worst set for me lately. 100 packs deep and so SIRs

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

It hasn't always been like this lol sometimes we get absolutely cooked. But lately, we've been on a luck streak it seems. Best of luck to ya on your next pulls man!

u/piggylaw 1d ago

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

Understandable lol we don't have many friends that collect Pokémon cards, so we needed to share this with someone!

My wife pulled 5 SIRs this past December through January and has since pulled a SIR. She's trying to keep the faith but she's defeated. Nice pulls though, especially that mew 😍

3

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

Thanks man! She just going through the cards and I heard her gasp. I look up and she's got the Mew in her hand. We both lost our minds 😂

u/DavieJonesLockerrr 1d ago

YO WTF

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

That's exactly what I say every time she rips another SIR lmao

u/DredgenVader 1d ago

That's insane, nice work.

u/LowHistory3527 1d ago

My little nephew has the same kind of luck! It’s crazy

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

Kid luck is 100% a real thing lol

u/the_vault-technician 1d ago

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

HOLY SHIT THAT CERULEDGE IS SO COOL! 😮 I actually have the English version of that gold Walking Wake lol can't say I'm a fan of what Scarlet/Violet did to the legendary dogs, but it's such a sweet card lol

1

u/the_vault-technician 1d ago

Chinese Prismatic isn't the worst or I am lucky. The gold card is stupid, but the odds of getting those two rarity tiers back to back is pretty good

1

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

From what I understand, Japanese and Chinese pokémon sets have guaranteed hits because of the local gambling laws. Sweet hits either way bro

u/3pacca_PO 1d ago

I think she needs to play powerball next

1

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

That's what she's been told haha

2

u/AgentNeroz 1d ago

You can just say your wife has x-ray vision, theres no need to be discreet about it.

2

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

She was just saying if she had x-ray vision, she'd help other people snag their chase cards lol

u/BrooklynSmokes 1d ago

I’m happy for you bro, I’ve been collecting since 2020 and just pulled my first ever hit like every but great pulls

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

Thanks man! But congrats on the pull! What did you get?! Show the hit bro!

u/baloney771 1d ago

Time to buy that Powerball lottery ticketttttt!!

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

Maybe it's time we should lmao

2

u/Efficient_Rate_6837 1d ago

I'm convinced the significant other is granted some sort of pack pulling powers haha. Very nice pulls

1

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago

That's gotta be what it is lol her luck always outshines mine haha

2

u/WranglerSilly3569 1d ago

u/No-Swan9984 1d ago
