Thanks, City of Tallinn! Shouldn't you be working right now?!? : ) Ito's cards are admittedly amazing, too. 50-50 for me, but would be stoked to have either.

Great question! I never actually calculated it that way. Using the existing data: - ETB 1 = 21.7 % and 85 new cards - ETB 2 = 21.1% and 83 new cards - BB = 59.6% and 233 new cards Then combining: - ETB 1 + BB = 61.4% and 240 total new cards - ETB 2 + BB = 62.9% and 246 total new cards Using some subtraction: - After ETB 1, BB gave an additional 39.7% and an additional 155 new cards - After ETB 2, BB gave an additional 41.8% and an additional 163 new cards Knowing that a BB contains 36 packs with 11 cards per pack, we get 396 total cards... some percents: - After ETB 1, the BB contained (155/396) 39% new cards for the master set and 61% doubles - After ETB 2, the BB contained (163/396) 41% new cards for the master set and 59% doubles

@MrMasterSet would love to see the graph showing new cards at the tail end of the bb after 1 etb. My son and I got a etb and bb and wanted to see your pull rates as now his getting like q maybe 2 new cards with 5 packs in the bb left. His only 5 and gets them as rewards but I want him to get close to a base set but also have fun opening packs

@@cchippyaus That's super cute. Really cool that you can share this hobby with your son. OK... I'll see what I can do and let you know if/when I get this ETB + BB data calculated. Maybe by weekend's end.

Thanks for the guidance, Tallinn City! I totally agree, actually... getting the dual camera action is a great suggestion. I'll see if I can upgrade my production quality little by little.

Thanks so much, Tallinn City Guide! Yeah... the little ones were stoked to get the packs and the cards. I plan on making more of these with my bulk moving forwards...

Thanks! Yeah, I was pleased with the Torkoal IR alright. Fortunately, the 2nd ETB I opened had a better hit rate than this ETB. That video should be out tomorrow (Wednesday).

Hey, Carl! Thanks for watching, and for sharing. Pulling a god pack must have been such a thrill!!! Congrats to you and your partner. And it warms my heart to hear that you have the completion % of your 151 set calculated, haha. I'm not the only one : ) Best of luck to you and your partner on finishing your 151 sets. I need to start refocusing back on 151 and Crown Zenith myself not that I am "caught up" with the current Twilight Masquerade set.

Thanks so much! That really means a lot to hear.

Kinda agree about the Magikarp... It's easily my PE chase card, and I love it, no doubt about it... but without the SIR sparkle. +the general poor print quality, I also think it is a tad overrated now. And yeah... I'm discovering that one of the real benefits of making YT videos is the ability to look back in time to reflect on past thoughts and how predictions panned out. Congrats on breaking 1,000 subs, btw! Very well deserved.

@@MrMasterSet Thank you, I’m very proud of hitting that milestone 😍

I literally cannot wait for that day to be a possibility! 🤑

Yeah, good call! I kept it English only for consistency, but I agree that those play promos are FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥

You know what, @CensorShtTube ... I 100% agree! That's one of the reasons I am prepping myself with knowledge know, so I can be better informed once the new set comes out. Also, so I can enjoy the new set more, too!

:(

I know, right?!? I was genuinely as shocked as you are. Now, if I were to make a list of my Top 10 FAVORITE Gold Stars, Rayquaza would rightfully be number 1!

I kinda forgot umbreon existed lol.

Haha, right?!? This was actually a GREAT exercise for me putting this together, as I was not actively collecting during the Gold Star days so my own knowledge in this area was superficial. So thanks again for the suggestion.

: )

RAYQUAZA!

I had a hunch you would say that! : )

Hey, Hunter! Nice to hear from you again : ) Amazing that you have the Alakazam [I assume that was auto-correct]!!! That Pokémon brings back so many great nostalgic feelings for me. And you know what... you want that video... YOU GOT IT! I've got 2-3 other videos lined up already, but I will add Gold Stars to the list for sure. While I can't 100% promise that Rayquaza will be number one as far as my personal rankings go (but, it probably will be!), even I would be a fool to deny that it's not only one of the best Gold Star cards, there is a strong case for it being the best Pokémon card of all time... period!

Hey again, Hunter... video requested... video made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjWoIqwqMR3ebM

HAHA... too many ultracrepidarians in this world to begin with. As Buffett and Munger would say... stick to your circle of competence.

And I agree that chantey should of been in 151

Right?!? Such a cool little dude!

@@PokeFamCollectors It's almost too obvious, haha.

Thanks Hunter! I was pretty stoked to find the one I did. The cheapest one available on the Cardmarket website right now is like 10 Euros more than what I paid, then... it skyrockets to 46 Euros more than what I paid. So I got in at a good time, too. And the smoking... I'll probably need to make a whole other video about that haha

These were all of the market pricing on the TCG Player website. Other options include local card shops, Facebook marketplace, card shows, and the Cardmarket website in the EU.
