    Seems like the issue has to be addressed with new Japanese sets, maybe its time to have a "holo" in every pack - similar to English packs?

    didnt know this was a thing! explains why there is a guaranteed reverse to make the detector useless these days with new sets and well as stopping the weighing with the extra weight on all packs.

    Very interesting experiment at least for Japanese packs. Buyer beware of buying loose Japanese packs from stores that are not trustworthy. Very eye opening! Great video. You should try it with older English sets that don't have guaranteed holo Sword and Shield and earlier era

      I tried it with some. Gym challenge, gym heroes, jungle and fossil packs beep regardless of no holo, except for team rocket. The foil for most wotc era packaging must be a different kind than modern Japanese packaging foil. I tried it with empty packs too and verified it was the packaging that set it off. I reloaded the empty team rocket pack with cards (not to fake seal it, just for the experiment) and that one only beeped when I put a holo in it. But I also didn’t have a big enough sample size for this to be 100% reliable data.

    For us packs couldn’t you just scan the parts where there wouldnt be any holo normally and then if it beeps it’s a full art or something, or would it not work because possibility of reverse holo?

    It would be interesting if you could find the Secret Rare alone with this method.
    It should have more metal than the other cards.
    Otherwise i don't see why someone would use a metal detector when you can weigh japanese packs anyway.

      More awareness is DEF necessary this is just sad that Pokémon hasn't addressed these issues yet! People that are scammers already know these methods and other shady practices. It's the innocent buyers that need to be aware when buying loose packs in general until Pokémon company addresses this issue because until they do its going to continue unfortunately.
