[@TheFriskySquid]

In SV era the light packs are actually higher hit rate. In 151 the holo energies are pretty heavy, they can still have hits of course but it makes it harder to know if heavy packs are just energies or if they are hits. That said, from my experience there are hits throughout all pack weights.

[@leosc24]

Given the different foil pack variations as well as the randomly inserted cosmo holo energies, I feel they made weighing 151 almost impossible to find guaranteed hits. With a holo and a double reverse in every pack makes weighing almost impossible as is but the extra precautions should make it for next to impossible

[@randalls9422]

We had this issue back in the day at less than reputable card shops with original sets. There would always be open booster boxes on the counter with all light boosters. The shops would weigh them, open the heavies and put the holos in the case, and put the lights in the box to sell for $2.99. I was way too young to realize or know about this back then but I'm glad it's less common now. Source: older friends that i have now, who worked in card shops and did this. They said it was common practice and talked about between shop employees.

[@aliwooz913]

Thats super shitty to do. But i get it. America was built on this

[@DivinePonies]

The weight difference is probably mostly due to paper density not being 100% uniform, and the foil layer could be affecting in other cases. Remember that reverses and regular holos use the foil too. Then there's also different dye weights, so if certain dye in pack is prevalent it might tip scale for 1g or more. Ofc there's also package weight and scale precision in play as well. Too many variables in play and it still comes down to gamble at the end of it all.

[@yourtypicalshadowlurker]

My guess was that the SV sets have code cards of varying weights with identical prints on them or that it’s something to do with the pack itself (I’ve noticed some packs feel different from others). The fact all the medium packs had holo energies is definitely neat and a great equalizer.

[@JeremyB8419]

It is highly plausible that they offset the weights with the code cards or the packaging.

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

It sucks that the regular holographic cards are not considered to be rare anymore. To me, they're still hits, because regardless of how everything is done now, they're still holographic. And weighing packs just ruins the whole surprise, but once in a good while is alright, I think. I wish they still had regular rare cards, and I wish secret rares didn't take up 1/3 of the set. But all that aside, I do love how beautiful a lot of these new cards are, especially up close in person. :)

Should’ve weighed the code cards and compared that to the hits. And weighed the hits vs regular cards. Data like that could be really useful for people interested in this

[@TechSasquatch]

Not sure what channel did it but they weighed each individual card of every type and using a excel spreadsheet to calc you could take the weight of a pack and figure out what combination of cards were in the pack based on the weight

[@Mogeyman]

The weight varies drastically between the pack foil, energy card, code card, Ex, and RH so it’s impossible to predict. The SIR and UR and C/UC have predictable weights but that’s

[@nocapnate]

From a printer point of view, I believe it’s completely random and a myth. Darker colours like deep blues and navy’s require more ink to print making the card itself heavier. Whereas yellows, lighter greens and pinks for example use much less ink resulting in lighter cards.

[@testtest8399]

Doubt the weight difference is because of ink, maybe foil or something else, but really doubt its because of ink.

[@nocapnate]

A colour with a larger percentage of cmyk can increase the weight of a printed surface by up to 1 gram. Like I said, I’m a print technician using print terminology. Who knows if it’s correct or not, but pokemon cards are PRINTED (and foiled whatever you say bud)

[@MyClaws76]

Pokémon switched the whole game up to get back at scammers and give back to people victim of it lol

[@timeslikethese52]

im pretty sure that most packs are going to have hits in them considering the fact that they just printed the new 151 set in english

[@Mogeyman]

Energy cards, code cards, and pack foil all vary. Similarly the RH actually have two different weights. Therefore, even if you know the weight of the SIR/UR you’ll never be able to guess. The only thing you can know is the heavier packs will have the holo energy.
