Inside The Shrouded Fable ETB Scandal

[@RionRobinson-s6f]

It can be worse. I opened a Pokemon center etb with 11 packs and didn’t get a single hit. Not even an EX. After that I promised myself I wouldn’t open anymore PC Etbs. I just collect them now.

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Ahh 😣 I just started collecting and it’s so hard for me to keep sealed products. But from what I’ve seen the PC ETB are the ones that sky rocket in price. Good investment especially if it’s something like Surging Spark or Prismatic Evolutions.

[@doompyhq4319]

Don’t worry, usually the pokemon centre promo comes to be worth more than the ETB itself

[@bumdia3002]

i just got into collecting tcg and the first thing i bought was a shrouded fable booster bundle, and i really enjoyed it, going to buy the etb next going for the full collection 🙏

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

I think it’s a great choice. I haven’t had luck but really like the art work on this set. And it’s easily available.

[@ukaszgowka2349]

I was very lucky with this set. I bought kindra and Greninja boxes, pulled Persian from there and later I bought 2 buster bundles. One for my son and he pulled golden ethern wesel, 2ex and xerosic. I pulled Cassiopeia and a full art beware and okidogi ex.

[@josuerosado2136]

I got a Persian too form this set!

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Nice! Congrats! I’ve said it to someone else who left a comment but seeing this makes me want to try again to complete the set.🎉

[@fictixn]

This set being so small makes pulls especially difficult 😭 Just finished my Shrouded Fable master set last week after months of chipping away at it! I really like this set, contrary to popular opinion 😅

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Congrats! I really like this set as well, I thought it being a small set would make it easier but it’s just as hard. Still debating if I want to complete it.

[@loopseeker]

its not a bad set in terms of whats in it but it is misery to rip

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

@@loopseeker I think the set is great but the hits are hard. Still considering revisiting this set.

[@Pokegainz93]

It's always hit or miss with pokemon cards

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

That’s so true! The thrill of the chase is what makes it exciting though!

[@813Coog]

Pulled 1 ex out of the 9 packs, the promo and storage make it worth it enough for me, sadly not enough hits compared to stellar

[@yungxbreen923]

Only etbs I’ve ever had any good pulls out of was crown zenith. Seems like it was at least 1 alt art each box for the most part

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

I regret not getting the Costco deal. But did manage to pick up the Sky and Sea collection, looking forward to opening it soon.

[@SuperSleeper921]

SF is my 1st set and i'm about 99% done on my master set. It was a tough battle. After opening 200 packs. I started buying singles. SF pull rates are seriously so bad. I bought a PC ETB on release only go only 2 t non full art EX. Only reason to buy the PC was for the stamped promo

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Congrats! I was excited for this set too, but after seeing and experiencing how bad the pull rates were, I decided to take a step back. After reading all the comments on this video, I might have to revisit that decision!

[@SuperSleeper921]

​@@PokeTrainerRicky keep it up. You might want to open some newer packs next video.

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

​@@SuperSleeper921 Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it. I'm playing catch-up and trying to upload my older videos.

[@kyky121911]

I think etbs are like the build and battles a hit or miss i opened 2 obsidian flames etbs and not hardly anything 2 full arts and the gold zard thats it

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Haven’t open a build and battles yet. But yeah it’s definitely a hit or miss. Was really hoping for more especially since I paid full price.

[@Mr0erick0]

I love this set. Put those Night stretchers over to the side. Sell sets of 4 at $7.95

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

😳😳 I’m still new haven’t even sorted by bulk yet, I’ll make sure to put the stretchers aside. But love this set as well just wish the pulls were in my favor. Might have to try again 😉.

[@TropicalMint808]

yup this set is fire, the Persian and houndoom 👍👍👍 let the haters hate i keep accumulating sealed

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

@@TropicalMint808 I agree! The Dusknoir line is also nice, and it's easy to find in stores.

[@GermnGuy84]

I've had a few bundles, tins, and 3 pack blisters with 0 hits, so I know the feeling, man. Then you see others pull multiple crazy hits from the same product.. i feel more and more like batching and hit pack distribution are a problem. Pokemon is creating a few very happy customers and a lot of very disappointed ones this way. But maybe it is all just random, and this is just the harsh reality of opening Pokemon packs 😄😭

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Tell me about it. I’ve honestly been doing amazing with Fusion Strike packs. But these Shrouded Fable packs have been killing me. It might be luck of the draw.

[@SolaScriptura21]

My son has had decent luck with shrouded fable, he has pulled the houndoom and the monkeydori

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

That's awesome! The Houndoom was one of my chase cards. I'm sure he was super excited about pulling it.

[@SolaScriptura21]

@PokeTrainerRicky yes he was. it's not centered but still a super cool card.

[@Tlstarr]

ive never had luck with any etbs

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Yeah some ETBs have been good for me but my best hits come from the tins or blister packs.

[@Suiax]

Just because you got bad luck, doesn't make it a "scandal". It happens to all of us.

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Thanks for the comment! I didn't mean it literally; I wasn't actually scammed. I just felt that way because the pulls were so disappointing. To pay $50 and not get anything is tough 😭

[@andyzhang3050]

I’ve opend way worse. When black kyrum ex was yr best card with no aspec. U hit rock bottom

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

Rough but gotta keep going 🤪🤪! You just never know.

[@acefstripe]

dang that hurts…

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

I know, tell me about it! 😭

[@B.V.Luminous]

Wasting my time watching. You literally loaded this video a MONTH BEHIND THE OPENING, why the hell would anyone watch?

[@PokeTrainerRicky]

I’ve been opening packs faster than I can upload the videos-trying to catch up! Some days the pulls are amazing, and other days, it’s just a wreck.
