LOOSE PACKS ARE CHEAPER ON EBAY. WHY?
You will see single packs are cheaper on eBay than they are here. While there is a fair chance those loose packs are un-weighed and not-tampered with, the ONLY way to be 100% sure a pack is safe is SEEING it pulled from a sealed box. Since you cannot see the sealed box, eBay sellers need to sell for a cheaper price to be competitive.
Since these boxes are out of print, we acquire them from the open market - just like you do. A sealed box of Plasma Freeze goes from $3600-$3800 ($100-$105/pack) and we only buy from 2 businesses (they charge more than their competitors, but they also guarantee the box is legit or our money back. Add in the 3% credit card processing fee and small additional expenses and the pack price becomes quite expensive for us (and thus, you).
Our Double-Stream Bank-Bag Method
The proper, secure way to do Box-Breaks:
We do 2 live streams. One to Open the box (07/21 @ 6AM CST) and One to Open the Packs (07/25 at 4PM CST)
On livestream #1, We Open the Box Live and Place each pack in Tamper-Proof Bank Bag with a unique Serial Number. The bagged packs are placed together in a 2nd bag - making them impossible to weigh.

FOOTAGE 2 (MISTAKE CORRECTED: https://youtube.com/live/oyIm4yFSRew?feature=share
We then list each serialized pack on the site (and include the desc of the pack art). This allows you to choose your pack-art and also to choose to keep the pack "sealed" or choose for me to"rip it open" on stream.
On livestream 2 (07/25 at 4PM CST), we open the packs that were requested to open. We show you the serial number of the bank-bag before opening it to prove nothing happened off-camera. For folks that opted for sealed packs, those are also showed on camera and then shipped out sealed - as requested.
Is this method extreme? Maybe - but I think it will bring in new customers who don't know our shop or reputation.
Knowing your packs are 100% safe makes the experience more fun and relaxing for you.
THE 3 BENEFITS OF THIS METHOD:
#1– By having you buy packs AFTER we bag them into bank-bags in a livestream, there is a 0% chance of funny-business on our end. It’s safer for you and less hassle for us if someone makes a stink about pulling a card they don't like.
-
#2 – We’re able to (safely) allow you to choose your pack-art. By opening the box and selling the packs early, we'll know how many of each pack-art is available and won't oversell a certain Pokémon. In the past, we took requests for pack-art and divvied those packs out before opening the other packs. Doing that opened the door to foul play. "If it's not random, there are ways to cheat."
-
#3 – (this one is selfish) By bagging the packs right away, we’re able to sell packs before, during AND after the livestream without anyone having to worry about manipulating them on OR off-camera. That’s good for our bottom line if packs don’t sell out when we’re live.
This idea was inspired after seeing a string of criminal activity between 2022-2023 on a *certain* livestreaming / selling app, Below are 3 crimes I've witnessed on livestreams that will be impossible thanks to my policy.
1 - Streamers opening packs, taking them off screen and replacing cards that were pulled
2 - Streamers strategically positioning heavy packs in the pile so friends/partners end up with them
3 - Streamers ending a stream with a partially filled box, replacing the remaining heavy packs offline, and then starting a new stream with light packs a few days later.
Because of secure nature of our policy, returns and cancellations will not be possible. All Sales are Final so please be 100% sure BEFORE buying a pack.
I hope you guys enjoy this method of livestreams. If it is succesful, we'll keep it up. If not, we'll do things differently in the future. Feedback is always appreciated.
