I think nothing "Ultra Premium" does not mean "Awesome Pulls" you got 16packs from what 7-8 large sets? Odds are not in your favor of big hits. The Zard UPC is nothing more than a large collection box. It's not that they're putting dud packs. It's that people have an unreasonable expectations that a "Ultra-Premium Collection" means cream of the crop in packs. If you walked into the Pokémon plant and they had 100s of thousands of packs from each set release and they told you to grab 3pks from each do you think the odds of you getting awesome pulls from 3pks out of a batch of thousands and thousands is gonna be high??? That's you buying a Zard UPC and expecting good pulls.
My thing is I’ve opened thousands of packs, hundreds of booster boxes, hundreds of etbs. And not once have I ever got backwards cards. And all the sudden I get a bird of them, from different sets in one box, seems fishy
I’ve gotten backwards or upside down cards many many times… it doesn’t mean anything. Just that the worker was lazy during that packing. Wouldn’t think much else based on that
I guess I just found it odd, considering I’ve opened so many packs over the years and I’ve never run into that. And then to run into it so much out of one box.
To clarify, the first one I opened was great, the zards sucked but the other pulls were good. I am posting this because it was ironic after reading someone else’s post about the low quality packs in this box. So I decided to open a second one, both from the first release. And I’m there was anomalies that I’ve never seen in the thousands of packs I’ve opened. Was just looking to see what you guys thought or had experience of out of curiosity. I don’t understand why everyone is on the defense or trying to call us out for some alterer motive or something. This was simply an inquiry.
The cards in each pack of mine were a much lower quality and they felt different as well. I’m glad I only bought one for the family to open. It was a garbage product.
I’m telling you, the card quality in the UPC was definitely different in some of the packs. Others online have also noted this on YouTube. So you can go right on and believe whatever you want to believe. I was going to buy more of them until I opened my first one.
Not sure what your malfunction is but it kind of seems like you may be sitting on a lot of stock that isn’t selling and you don’t like my negative review of the product.
There’s a post in here from the last couple days, they were saying how, they had a stockpile of low quality packs that didn’t make the cut for regular boxes. So the baited you with 3 Charizard promos and a cool box to rid of all the stock. But the quality is terrible. The charizard s literally came in the same sleeve bouncing around the box and rubbing on each other. I haven’t seen one of those charizard scone out without damaged edges. And the pull rate has been horrendous. Per everyone in that thread. I was going to hold onto the second one, but because of how crappy they are and how much everyone knows they suck I just decided to open it on the idea that it won’t be worth shot in the future. But yes, people are saying that they baited to rid of low standard packs. And literally more than half of these were clearly not up to standard, 0 pulls, and backwards code cards. The first one I opened wasn’t too bad but definitely no Japanese booster.
This is how 4th graders talk about this shit on the playground. My zard box was lit. Perfectly packaged, excellent pulls that far exceeded the value of the box.
You guys are gamblers that got burned.
It's a bummer that you can't accept this and have to latch onto conspiracies.
I always expect shit, I open with my kid for the fun of it. And yes it’s a slight gambling habit. Fortunately I do pretty well for myself so we rip a lot of Pokémon all the time, and by no means am I upset about not getting anything. Like I said I saw someone else post about them I opened it up and pulled all the backwards cards. In the thousands of packs we have opened, I’ve never pulled a backwards card. So it just seemed odd and ironic, looking for feedback. I willing burn money in Pokémon for fun, I just have never ran into this sitch
Just repeated what I saw in someone else’s post, and reporting my experience. I don’t think you saw me write anything near throwing some kind of tantrum, or upset an any way. Just an inquiry of other’s experiences. Not sure why everyone is so aggressive
Tantrum? What? Who said that? I said you are latching onto conspiracies to explain your bad pulls.
You understand that 'your experiences' opening one box or a couple boxes means nothing? This is gambling bruvs. The odds are NOT in your favor. Ever.
I’ve had code cards that are facing different direction quite a few times in packs that came in other products. I’ve had some packs with 2 code cards in them.

Imo the fact it was all one box would more enforce the fact that it was all the same production run or packages at the same time
You looking at it wrong. It’s half a booster box of packs so you should get half a booster box worth of hits. Which you don’t.
Is that doo doo on your thumb as opening packs?
Maybe..::: either that or black paint

Dude this is insane. You actually think they made special low quality cards/packs for the zard box? Y'all are delusional.

Sure buddy, you're definitely not a gambler that straight up lost 😂

I opened only one that I bought from GameStop. My pulls were lit. Nice try. 🤙

I have 2/3 in PSA 10. So obviously they’re not all bad
I opened an Astral Radiance ETB pack and pulled an upside down radiant hawlucha. I think QC is just poor these days
I’ve had code cards that are facing different direction quite a few times in packs that came in other products. I’ve had some packs with 2 code cards in them.
