In past sets, there have always been a lot of 'print runs', where a series of the same card crop up more often than usual. I know in Invasion, I bought about five boosters and they All had the same six common cards in the same exact order in them.

nevermind the super rares.

when I opened my boxes I noticed that the commons would always be in a specific order followed by the uncommons. the packing is not "random" at all. I noticed at least 8 times that I opened the same 6 commons in a row followed by a different set of the same uncommons in a row.


not to mention one of my boxes only had 3 super rares and another one of my boxes had all 4 supers on one side...

no bueno

this "pattern of commons" have been around for over 2 years. it just took now for ppl to notice this.

if it was around for that long it wasn't a this degree. It was never blatant enough to be in about 10ish packs in two boxes. makes me assume that it was random.

i can remember a few gencons ago opening boxes w/ friends and we were showing each other the patters. this ninja is always w/ this ninja. when you get a SR the uncommons were placed in a different spot, that ninja was always the first one in the pack if that ninja was in the pack. the TPs, for lack of diversity i'm sure, had the exact same order of ninjas almost every time w/ commons, then the uncommons. i have enough of every card out of my boxes that its no big deal. again, even before the new printers i've opened whole boxes and only got one of a common(vanilla hinata), so its not all that new or surprizing. the cards may be in a much more noticable order, but the ratio is still the same.

yeah but ive opened cases before and not gotten anything as blatant as these myself.

also, in the past, it was extremely rare for a box to not have supers in it. this is more common with this company it seems.
