yes sir
generally how we do it is we do 36 packs at a time (50 packs for 30th anniversary)
we record the entire thing start to finish for continuity
video is chopped up by software we built so that each pack has a real video of the physical pack being opened
> you buy a pack
> pack is randomly selected so you could get something like pack 14
> you get digital opening experience
> you also get the real video of the physical pack being opened with all cards matching
All hits make their way to the pulls section of our site. Some of the biggest hits recently have been the shinji magikarp from paldea & the monochrome zekrom from black bolt
We do it with small enough subsets to show that even when there is financial incentive we still upload. karp & zekrom were both worth more than the 36 packs we ripped sort of proving we are not doing anything funny
Rip, Ship, or Vault!
We don't care as long as you are getting exactly what you want.
Shoutout traffy for the singles pickups, good luck on your at home rippin!!!
As a company that has a gacha as one of our core products this is a misguided take. Gacha is great but we need to be honest about each vertical of the industry.
Most pokemon/trading card participants aren't doing this for "RTP"
Pack ripping is a mix of fun, nostalgia, community, and the thrill of the chase. In our year of operations, 2 people have asked us to sell cards for them at a convention.
Card investing is about asset selection and long term value. Hold times are years not the 24 hour buy back period.
Gacha is a shot at unattainable products, market wide randomization (instead of per set like pack ripping), and greater/instant liquidity.
No shot at soby or the product hes building. Know its going to be phenomenal and he's extremely passionate about it. Just hate seeing these comparisons
