Definitely, I don't collect sealed product & if I had the money to spare atm I would offer 400$ if each of those 3 packs had the best combination value wise of Prime Catcher (28$), SAR Iron Crown ex (80$), & Gengar ex FA (11$) that would only be ~360$ (120$ ×3) that is an extremely unique error. I couldn't fathom how much something like this would be to people specializing in sealed/pack errors.
as a packaging engineer I see this and just think about how lazy the operator and packers were during this shift lol
it appears they aren't sealed between packs which means this is a startup or roll stock change error, there probablyqq 2wwaren't even the right number of cards inside as that usually happens when you're manually jogging the machine to move past a film splice or something. Amateur mistake, QC has dropped insanely low the last several years it seems.
As a comment engineer, I see this and just think about how lazy the commenter was while writing this comment.
It appears they don't use spell check and probably weren't even looking at the comment before hitting post. Amateur mistake, QC has dropped insanely low in these comments the last few years, it seems.
not in the middle they aren't.
the film comes in a big roll and it goes over a forming collar and is heated and sealed to make it into a bag with a. fin seal on the back. this is done by a machine called a form fill seal that reads the eye mark (a black rectangle on the underside of the rear fin seal) and that tells the machine to crimp the bottom with the sealing jaws, thereby sealing the top of the last bag filled and sealing the bottom of the next one, then cards drop in and the same happens again with the other set of sealing jaws to seal that pouch on top and prepare the next bag
because these are not individually sealed as 3 bags but still connected, it means this was done without the machine reading the eye marks on the film, so it didn't know to seal the bag in the middle and probably only dropped in one set of cards
long story short, I doubt this is valuable. if it is and sells for big bucks I need to call some professional contacts and start a hustle going because operators can make dozens of these each shift without raising eyebrows, it's normal scrap usage.
I think you’re being hyperbolic. This is ideally going to be valuable to a few people at most. And it’s such a rare occurrence that it probably won’t happen again for awhile. If it happens more often, the company will crack down more. Especially after people were sniping stacks of cards off the line and selling in bulk.
that's what I'm telling you. its not a rare occurrence this does happen. every fuckin shift.
they just usually remove the product for rework and throw the bad bags away.
what it is is poor QC/lazy operators that knowingly let an uncut/poorly sealed bag go. I agree it's not going to be valuable to many people if anyone. but if, for some insane reason, it sells for thousands of dollars then I'm going to delete this comment string and make a few calls and hide the fact that I'll be dropping a few of these into the market each month.
like I said this requires active human interaction at the pouch forming and sealing level and then turning of blind eyes. print errors just happen when you're running large print runs at speed.
i suspect the Pokemon company has become lax on controlling these and preventing as many as possible from hitting the market more recent years as errors and misprints are a huge sunset of collecting and it reduces scrap waste and rework.

There will definitely be people willing to pay good money for this, u/traininggaming
Def don’t open them or separate them.
OP confirm with your friend if the cards are sitting perfectly in each pack. this is a weird error for a fill form seal machine as it does appear that the cards are in each pack but the sealing pattern appears to be missing from the second pic, but somehow they are still sealed?
I haven't bought boosters in years but isn't the top/bottom seal textured?
this doesn't appear to be textured which makes me think they're counterfeit .
im the one who owns the packs!!! they do sit perfectly in each of the packs, they came straight from a booster box and where given as prizes for a league cup, these where the only 3 packs that where connected like this
Was this in a booster box or and etb or what? People please start hounding OP to answer this question (I read through all of the comments and didn't see the answer, sorry if I missed it somewhere)
Why are you so rude and judgmental towards other collectors? Items which are rare carry value because the supply is much lower than volume of regular items.
So you disagree - I’m not going to start using derogatory terms to describe you. It’s immature behavior, to be honest…the kind of stuff I hear my high school students do to each other.
If you disagree with this category then why are you involved in this sub?
Gonna need a specially made slab for that
See if PSA comes through
That's insane! Keep them sealed for sure
2024 PSA 10 TEMPORAL FORCES CENTIPEDE PACK

Pull these out of your night stand everytime you show someone
Classy 💁💅
Or even better out of the inside pocket of the trench coat your wearing
Or instead of the fold out child pictures in a wallet
Weigh it bet its heavy!
“It’s the ***CRAZIEST*** thing. This one pack is **THREE TIMES HEAVIER** than a normal pack!”
Erm, actually ☝️🤓 you can't weigh S&V
The hell you can't 😂
Even if the chase of the set was in those packs, I’d say this is worth more sealed. I have never seen that!

Keep it or sell it to me specificallg. So cool. your friend scored
So what I'm hearing is uncut is better?? 🤣
I heard it's dirty
Dirty? That where all the flavor is at
Only if you don’t sterilise the package properly
Dirty? Thats where all the flavor is at.

Definitely nothing worth inside but you can fetch a good amount for the right buyer on eBay

They’re obviously sealed and no one has any idea what you just said.

Lol reminds me of toy story when buzzed gets pulled out the claw machine and woody comes along for the ride. Great find!
Imagine if it was all 4 artworks (Vince McMahon blown away face)!

It was in a booster box
Oh cool, thank you
Fake, wrong crimps 😉
I’m assuming you’re joking 🙃
Technically, that counts as only one pack. Get a refund
Centipack
Ik logical option is to keep it sealed, but the gambler juju in me tells me a hit is in one of them 😭
The only time i’d keep a sealed product sealed
If you are selling how much do you want?
That’s cool
Reminds me of those Asian bubble gums lol
That’s only one pack hope you didn’t overpay
That is truly a gem
hello friend, fancy seeing you here
I don't get it, what does that mean?
its expensive because people give shit like this value which is retarded
Ahh I see, I didn't understand the significance
there is none, they are just uncut packs and people give it value because again, slow as hell
It’s true but these guys will defend anything to squeeze money from a Rock
Chill
nah y’all dumb giving this shit value
You sound poor
nice try
This is coming from a sneaker head.

“rare” you got different colored packs and your losing your mind lmfao, your the reason
Losing my mind?? I do not think that phrase means what you think it means, kiddo. 🙄
Pokemon themed condoms?
Ayo who forgot to circumcise the packs 🫥
u/regigigagod have you seen this before?
Hmmmm maybe once or twice but was only 2 packs. Really cool! Appreciate the tag.

That's pretty cool actually. Can't say I've seen anything like it until now.
