  • Pulling Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare from Evolving Skies - Pokemon TCG
    When I got back into collecting Pokemon in 2021, there was only one card on my list that I wanted to pull instead of buying as a single. With each set, I set a limit of how many packs I'll open before stopping and then buying the other cards I want as singles, so I don't waste my money. But not Moonbreon. This one needed to be pulled. 17 booster boxes, two 144 ct single blister cases, about 50 packs from other collection boxes and tins, and about 250 packs purchased from PokemonCenter.com in May (which I've had INSANE luck with, pulling either a secret rare or alt art V every 1 in 10 packs), and it finally happened. I've been dreaming of this day for 7 months, and now I can finally stop opening Evolving Skies!
    I record pack openings for personal use, but since I open so many packs I recently decided why not upload a few of the big hits? Quality has gotten better since I began recording openings (I won't even share those because the quality is so poor), and should be better in the future as I get a better microphone do more than super basic edits. Enjoy!

    I feel so bad watching this, knowing that earlier my husband and I pulled the alt art Umbreon VMAX from three Evolving Skies boosters.

      Crazy! It was a ton of fun opening packs of Evolving Skies and worth the journey, not to mention I stocked up on booster box cases when booster boxes were $95 and still have a bunch leftover in storage that I'll sell someday to recoup what I spent on the packs I opened! Cheers!

      Smart move buying it! With every other Pokemon card, I'll buy the single of if I don't pull it within the set amount of packs I plan to open for a set (I always set limits on how many packs I'll open for fun before stopping and buying the cards I want), but with this particular card, probably my favorite card of all time, I wasn't going to stop until I pulled it just so I could get my reaction on camera and re-watch it from time to time. Umbreon is my favorite because it reminds me of my black cat, Dr. Fink. Why is Umbreon your favorite, Nate?

    Man I’ve been wanting this card so bad! I’m like you where I really really really want to pull one from the pack myself, but I’ve slowly come to the realization that it would be much more efficient to just trade for it. Seeing all these ungodly pull rates on this bad boy is just unreal. I’ve managed to pull two alt art sylveon v’s (out of like 100 packs give or take) luckily but this still eludes me: awesome pull man just got a new subscriber 👍

    • @gregdoh
      @gregdoh  Рік тому

      Thank you!! This was the only card in modern Pokemon that I "needed" to pull so I could get it on camera. For every other set I usually only open 50-100 packs for fun, then buy the singles I want since that's almost always the most cost-effective thing to do. So I'm with you! Trade for it! And enjoy it!!

      @@cj1613 Agreed! I only paid about $2.65 per pack (stocked up Dec 2021 when booster boxes were under $95). And fortunately I've been able to break even by selling duplicates and bulk from the set. I would never recommend anyone open packs to pull their chase cards unless they have a plan for how to make their money back or equate the "fun" factor into the equation, because just like gambling in a casino, "the house always wins".

I would only send them to one of the big 3: Beckett, PSA, or CGC. Watch a few UA-cam videos about grading Pokemon cards. I think that just like collecting, as you learn more about grading you'll figure out the companies you want to use, get a better idea of what cards to send in, figure out the best time to send them in to get the most bang for your buck (they all seem to run sales at various times), etc. Good luck!

      @@DonnieEls I'm glad there are still ways to get Evolving Skies packs at retail. Is the Umbreon V alt the only alt you've pulled? Or just the only Umbreon alt you've pulled? In my first 900 packs I pulled 12 alt arts, then in my last 315 packs I pulled 13 alt arts- crazy lucky pull rates on those last 315 packs. I definitely don't want to encourage you to keep opening them until you pull it, but I'm rooting for ya!!

I don't know how you haven't thrown the towel in yet. I stopped opening Fusion Strike after opening 100 packs and my best pull was a regular Gengar Vmax. Evolving Skies has so many awesome alt arts though that it makes it more fun than any other Sword and Shield set to open so many packs to chase those alts.

    I just started collecting cards around Christmas time 2022 and I found Evolving Skies here in my home town and I pulled the MoonBreon today. I was definitely feeling the Evolving Cries effect not getting anything until bammm. After 25 Packs I pulled it and Now idk what to do with the rest of my Evolving Skies packs left over. (20 packs) I'm thinking of Giving away the sealed booster packs out the the kids here in my small town. The Next kid Pokémon fan I see gets it.

      Ha, thank you! It was getting out of hand! But, I spent about $2.90 per pack on the first 900 or so packs (bought most product in Dec when prices were low), and $4.22 per pack on the last 315 so not AS BAD as that! (just under $4k total) Plus, I made back over $1k selling duplicates already, still have some duplicates to grade and sell, and also have a bunch of sealed booster boxes I paid $92 each for back in Dec when prices were low that I'll sell in a few years and use the profits to recoup the rest of what I spent back. I'd vomit if I straight up spent $6k on a $300 card! For me, it was the most fun set I ever opened, so even if I don't come out on top (which I already know I will unless Pokemon crashes VERY hard) it was still worth it!
      (I'm really just explaining all this in case someone comes across this comment and wants a little more insight so they don't foolishly open pack after pack trying to chase cards for every set. With Evolving Skies, there is/was a way to make your money back, but the biggest part of it for me was stocking up on booster boxes when they were $92 and then getting very lucky with the $4 PokemonCenter packs where I kept pulling alt arts and secret rare duplicates that I've sold and still have some to sell.)

      No, I usually prefer booster boxes just because they are slightly less wasteful, but for sets where I plan to open a lot of packs I like variety and usually open 1 144 ct sleeved booster pack case along with booster boxes and other products. The only reason I opened so many sleeved packs for Evolving Skies was because that's all that was available to buy for a while.

Right before seeing your comment here I was reading through a post on the Pokemon World FB group where a guy got a Black Label Umbreon and in some of the comments there were people talking about them being the most strict for grading (which is good) but also having the worst quality control.
