    I think I was looking at the wrong receipts, the pokemon center etb was 54$ after tax with free shipping. The Pokémon go etb is around 70 after tax. Thank you to those who caught that!

    Oof, PC etb was rough. We have to pay a premium to get them here in Australia (specially shipped in by middlemen) at around $120-$150 each, so I 100% would never open it and keep it as a sealed item!
    Great comparison video!

    Bro, that Pokemon Center ETB was a kick in the nuts. I've never ripped one myself but you're not the first person to say the pulls from them, regardless of the set, have been lackluster.

    Wow!!
    Yesterday, I got into two Pokemon Center ETBs, one from Gamestop and one from Walmart... what I pulled that's worth noting was the Starmie TG , Gold Origin Dialga and the Darkrai V-Star, and two of each of the radiant cards!
    Hope you're able to find the Starmie soon!

    Out of all the videos I've watched for AR, it seems you're better off just saving your money and buying a booster box or two. ETBs currently have an awful pull rate. Then again someone could pull something Epic out of each pack and the test of us get a box like that PokeCentre one 😂 Great vid!
