thought i’d share my first booster opening in a looong time. Last time i opened a pack was about 16 years ago.
i opened 1 and a half box so far and got these, rest packs i’m going to keep sealed and open at a later time.
Well pleased with what i got
A quick question though, the bottom left two charizards are the same art but different numbers, one is 13/106 and the other is 107/106. Any idea why, my eyeballs hurt trying to play spot the difference, we apart from the numbers lol
M Charizard EX 107/106 is a Secret or Ultra Rare (not sure, I am bad with modern English cards). It is considerably more rare than the normal M Charizard EX 13/106.
Yeah the charizard 107 is a secret rare, much harder to pull. You may also notice a gold border around the edge of it, which shouldnt be on the 13/106 one?
Flashfire was an extremely generous set as far as FA/Secret pulls were concerned.
The average for most sets during the BW/XY era has been 2-3 EX 1-2 FA and 1/3 Boxes a Secret
Flashfire was more like 2-4 EX, 2-3 FA, 1/2 Boxes a Secret.
I’ve opened two FF boxes that I pre-ordered few days before release and I had AWFUL pulls: 1st box: Charizard EX (11/106), M Charizard X EX (69/106), M Kanhaskhan EX (79/106) 2nd box: Magnezone EX, Charizard EX (11/106), Charizard EX (12/106)
Both boxes were from one case.
No secret rares, no full arts - nothing. I guess I had pretty bad luck with this set.
I myself opened a Plasma Freeze Box. The only Ultra was a Latias Ex Regular Art. I bought it from LegacyCards. He fixed the problem by sending me some free cards. He gave me the choice of a Latios Ex FA or an Shiny Empoleon. I took the shiny empoleon.
