The Amateur Collector here and today I'm opening up a few POP Series booster packs, 18 of them to be precise, from various different series. Little history now! These are exclusive promotional packs that were usually only available at official Pokémon Organized Play (POP) events, though eventually they were also available with promotional merchandise (but still hard to get a hold of). There were 9 sets released until they were cancelled a few years back, each set only containing 17 cards to collect but due to aforementioned rarity and that fact that each booster pack only has 2 cards in them they're very hard to complete.
Anyways, I managed to get a small amount of them from two different sellers on ebay. I got six booster packs (three Series 1 and three Series 2) from one seller for £2.90 and the rest from another (two Series 7, six Series 8 and four Series 9) for £4.30.
Check out the booster pack opening video for this here.
Here's a picture of each of the booster pack art:
Although the chances of getting rare cards are really low I did manage to get a few, including an ex!
A wonderful Tyranitar-ex from Series 1. A Probopass from Series 8 and a Raichu from Series 9.
You'll notice that none of these are holographic (even the Tyranitar-ex!), that's because none of the rare cards you get in POP booster packs are holographic, regardless of rarity or specialness. But there are alternate versions of some of these cards that are holographic and that you usually got with other merchandise (like in tins).
Well, not much to say really. I'm very happy with these pulls, especially considering the low rare:common ratio in these packs.
It makes me very hopeful for the what little merchandises I still have to open... yep I'm nearing the end of this journey so stay tuned! Bye!
