Seriously, Pokemon company could mail me all the Steam Sieges and Evolution packs and simply stop torturing others who already finished collecting those cards.

But hey, look at the positive - we are now getting Burning Shadows. It contains more than 10 Secret Rares that cost over 5 euro, including the extremely expensive Charizard GX. That's not a bad Expanded pack.

Meanwhile, a Steam Siege pack has a 6 euro Volcanion. That's it. This is what happens, when you have two secrets per set.

I actually opened 2 volcanions, one full art and one regular, in my last purchase (I think 4 packs total). didn't know it was 'worth' something.

Is this implying that more SR's are better??

Either way, it's not just having less SR's per set that determines the value. The late XY era ones are quite easy to come across and those sets were overprinted to oblivion. If you compare it to the BW era ones which are quite harder to pull, more scarce, and some of which are MUCH more expensive than the average Rainbow(yet there's only like, average of 3-4 per set).

Yes, because for everyone but people that collect whole sets on principle, that is the case. It makes the game more affordable, it siphons the cost from actual game pieces and into optional collectibles.

Of course, but that's like comparing it to BS Charizard and complaining that cards today "have no value". Still, I would be curious on the EV of BW packs, compared to SM packs.

Wha?? Did you pick up one for yourself? If that’s the case with the packs I might just have to get me one of these...

Yep, just yesterday at Barnes and Noble.
Ooh, cool. I barely have any of the two latest sets so if I end up getting one of these (I usually get these kinds, I think the only one I missed was Blaziken) that’s a huge bonus.
