Besides 2 commons and 1 uncommon you get a nice Ad Card i guess its called I got 2 different ones so I hope there isn't a third or more version.

Back side of both as the front sides were the same.

I don't even know what to make of this. Are you sure this is legit? Wait, why would you post something like this if it WASN'T legit? I guess I just answered my own question...

Well, 2 Commons and 1 Uncommon? How much did it cost?

I guess that the new version of the sampling packs that they would include in some of the checklane blisters in BW. Those were always 3 commons and a checklist, though.

Seems that way to me also :)

Was hoping it would have a checklist in these.

I hope its only just these 2 versions for the Advert card :)

I realize its been over 2 weeks but this is my thread and im sorry ;_;

UPDATE:

I got 3 more packs of these in my stocking and out of the 3 packs i pulled a Reverse holo common card.

So I guess these are a legit product then :)

Even for a buck six this seems like a ripoff.

Kinda cus no Rare or Rare Foils but they sold good.

My Mom says last time she was there the box for them was empty :)

For the same reason YGO's Star Packs sell. Little kids see them, and the parents get them one since they're so cheap. It's why they're sold in the first place, to get more people into getting Pokemon cards.

I've seen people open them on facebook and they seem to have EXs in them, of course not every pack have an EX but the chance is there :D

What part of the store would those be located in?
Might have to check nearby (like within walking distance) at the Dollar Tree...

$17 for a Xerosic FA is pretty steep. Hope you got some other foils as well....

DT have a smaller 4 sided display at the front of the store (mine anyway) with various other cards too, TMNT, Bball, football, dtagon ball Z, 1D to tickle your fancy.

A single booster pack is 4.19(4.99 at TRU), so I bought 17 of these for 17 dollars, the equivalent would be 5 regular packs but they would be about 20 dollars. I bought these because I saw someone on Youtube get a Manectric Ex and thought maybe an ex was the best you could get and Manectric is the only ex I'm still missing from the set. Not that I expected an ex. I was pretty shocked to a find a full art and a full art I needed. Especially since I just grabbed a handful from the back of the box.

I don't know what the pull ratios are for an entire display box, or even how many packs are in a display box. Maybe 100 packs and 1 full art every 3rd box. I've opened up 32 of these, 15 from 1 store and 17 from the other and didn't get any regular holos, I did get some reverses of holos(Hydreigon/Pyroar) though as well as new reverses and a bunch of non holo rares. The Xerosic was the only ultra rare.
Or maybe they are the same as a regular booster box. If that's the case then 1 dollar for 3 cards is about how much you are paying for 3 cards in a regular booster pack. And it would be insane to get an ex and only 1 common and 1 uncommon in a pack, much less waste.

I think these packs are worth it if you are looking for reverses, I've pulled maybe 4 new reverses. And it's pretty easy to tell if there's a reverse or holo or ex in the pack. At best I'd go to your local DT and bend the packs(Not enough to damage the cards) and buy the ones that are not flimsy just to see what you get. Since the holos are only holo in one location on the card they may be flimsy like the non holos, I'm not sure.

These packs kind of remind me of the Japanese packs where you have less cards per pack but still the pull ratios of a regular pack and the possibility of getting a rare or not getting a rare. I kind of wish English packs were smaller and cheaper. Maybe 7 cards (3 commons, 1 rev, 1 rare and 2 uncommons)

I was just at a dollar tree and seen the 3 card packs for $1! I was convinced they were fakes so of course I Google'd it and stumbled upon this post. I ended up buying a single pack and to my surprise, I pulled a holographic aegislash. Not bad for $1.
