Pokemon booster box?

Question

If I buy a Pokemon booster box, am I guaranteed to get every card in that specific set?

I am interested in buying one of the older sets. Which set is considered to be one of the best? Or has the most value right now? What are some of the rarer booster boxes from the older sets?

I have the option right now of buying a sealed booster box of Pokemon Neo Genesis First Edition for about 120.00

Am I guaranteed to get every card in the Neo Genesis set? Is this a good set to buy? Is it a rare/sought after booster box? Is the price right? Which Neo set is the best?

please help.

Answer 1

No. That is nearly impossible. Even with a tiny set you'd need to buy at least 5 boxes to have every card in the set guaranteed.

If it is old sets you are looking for and money value then it is easily Base Set. The Charizard from Base Set (120 hp 100 damage burn 4 energy) can be sold for up to $200. Must be mint and 1st edition.

Neo Genesis is not really what you would say a sought after set. You don't really get much rare stuff except the final evolutions of the starter pokemon. If it is rare cards you are looking for then then Base Set, EX Dragon Frontiers, Neo Destiny (not sure. the one that introduces shiny celebi), Majestic Dawn or Mysterious Treasures are the ones you should be looking for.

No you are not guaranteed to get everything although you might if you are extremely lucky. The price is pretty good i guess seeing that none of th eneo sets are being sold anymore.

Best Neo set would have to be destiny. Gives you shiny Pokemon and introduces the "Light" Pokemon and re-introduces the "Dark" Pokemon.

Good luck with your journey to finding the right cards or packs. Hope this helped!

I'm no expert, and I'm not too into cards, but I love pokemon. I would buy it if I had the spare cash. First editions are rare regardless of the series. You are definitely NOT guaranteed every card in the set. But in a whole box, you're bound to get ten or more holographic cards.

Booster packs are all random. Only about 1 in 100 booster boxes contain every single card in the set. Some of them don't even make it possible to get the whole set in just one booster box. In order to have a possible chance in pulling them all then get at least three booster boxes.

They aren't very rare, but if you are trying to get one, then only get the ones from the first or second series set. Otherwise it's pointless sine you will only pull nothing but multiples.

The Pokemon Neo Genesis First Edition isn't that good. It's certainly a good one to get, but compared to other sets, it's a waste of money. Look around for the older series like Hot Foot. That's one of the best. The older series has less holos, but that's what makes the finds better.
