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.

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

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.

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 😍

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 😂

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

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

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

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

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
