Before you buy

  1. 1

    Do not pay extra for a heavy pack. Every pack in this set has a holo, so weight tells you nothing.

  2. 2

    Check the front of the pack, not the back. The holo is the first card behind the wrapper, so scratches or heavy handling on the face can damage the chase card.
