Found Fusion Strike ETB at LCS, I’m not a sealed collector

Went to my LCS to pick up some singles I ordered online for my Crown Zenith master set, the owner had just got in a bunch of older ETBs and had them limit 1 below current market.

I’m not a sealed collector so I wanted to rip it. I asked, “Isn’t the Gengar the chase in that set?, I mean, I’m lucky but I’m not that lucky!” I got home and opened it…stacked the packs by the artwork and grabbed a Boltund pack off the top thinking “Such a good boy”… opened the very first pack I’ve ever had of fusion strike and found it!

Now what!? Do I open the other 9!? It’s already in my “display cabinet” until I can send it to PSA to properly protect my new most prized card.

    No one wants to hear about your Boltund fetish man

    Fortune favours the brave!! Happy for you (and just a weeee bit jealous).

  6. Sheesh, FS had a notoriously low pull rate for thr Espeon and Gengar too, congratulations!

    I’m confused. You’re not a sealed collector but aren’t sure what to do with the remaining packs?

    Do people not know packs are meant to be opened?

    Ripping my non-PC Fusion Strike ETB tonight! Hoping to pull this as well!

    I love the thought of smug pokemon redditors swiping through the pics getting mad that you opened a PC ETB and then getting furious that you came out big! congrats on the pull and thank you for ripping the product 🫡

    Holy crap the luck. To find a box and get the chase.

    An awful set for hit rates, but it doesn’t matter when you get THE card. Congrats sir, I was thrilled with my Celebi 😅

    Op lucky day but why not just buy a normal etb?

  14. ginx777

    Damn the balls. Now that es pc etb is looking at u funny

  15. “Im not a sealed collector”

    I hate that you even have to say that.

    Sealed collecting is such a joke imo.

    Like bro.

    Let the actual fans rip those things

    Rewarded for taking a risk. Nice work chap. 👏

    You did it you madman! I’ve ripped soooo many FS packs and my best pull was Elesa’s Sparkle worth like $4 😂😭😭

  18. puzzledfirebird

    From my experience if you already found the rare card the other packs won’t have anything as good anymore if they’re from the same box.

  19. _Count_Fabulous_

    Rip the rest, there could be another hiding in there

    This is a Pokemon Center ETB which is exclusive to the PC website. So the LCS either bought it themselves to resell or bought from someone trying to get rid of it.

    Congrats! That is an awesome find! Went to my LGS today and there was literally one sealed product on the shelf for Pokemon because of the scalpers. I hope this nonsense passes soon.
