The Odds of Getting a Secret Rare in a Booster Box However, you are not guaranteed to get any rare cards in a booster box. Buying a booster box is the best way to get a lot of cards all at once, and it’s also the cheapest way to get certain rare cards. Booster packs are small packets that contain random cards from a specific set. What is a Booster Box?Ī booster box is a product that contains multiple booster packs. In this article, we’ll explore these details more and answer any other questions you may have about finding secret rares in your Pokemon booster box. However, some retailers will offer special promotions that may guarantee you at least one secret rare if you purchase multiple boxes. Generally, the answer is no you’re not guaranteed to find a secret rare in every booster box. But are you actually guaranteed a secret rare in a booster box for Pokemon? The answer is a bit complicated. Whether it was Magic: The Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh!, booster boxes always bring the promise of excitement and potential rewards. They can be satisfying to collect if that is the purpose of buying cards, as completing a collection of the whole set is much easier, and the artwork on the cards us usually especially nice, IMO.Many of us have fond memories of purchasing a booster box for our favorite trading card game. These sets can be their own set, such as dragon vault, or double crisis, or they can be parts of other sets, such as the Radiant Collections in Generations and Legendary Treasures. Some sets are minisets, containing closer to 40 different cards. I previously opened a case of Dark Explorers, which got me one secret rare and 3 ultra rare per box (18 total). 4 boxes have 6 ultra rare and 2 boxes have 5. In total I got 2 secret rares and 34 ultra rares. The variance of each set is smaller than 3-7 though, as an example, I opened a case (6 booster boxes packaged) of Break Point. Generally one would expect 3-7 ultra rares per box, and a secret rare every third box. This is due to many factors, such as each set containing different amounts of cards (110 give or take 30 or so), different amounts of each card of said rarities, and straight out different pullrates, for whatever reason. Each set has it's own variance of the chance to get holo rares, ultra rares, and secret rares.
