No Rare Booster

Post by pickle.69 » Thu Jul 15, 2004 12:41 am

Hi
I bought half a display revised booster of a freind  in 1997 and opened all but two of them. In the whole display there was not eaven one Rare as he allready told me.  He checked them all and sold the ones he did not want to me. I was happy to get some mint unc, and com. for my sets.
One is on the hold for Eric and I`ll keep the last. Did anybody open Boosters with no rare at all too?
The pack contained 14 cards.
please lmk till then

By the way I look for empty displays:

mentioned it a few times, my dad and I opened a box of revised with no rares.  We sent it to WOTC and got a new one.
I can't believe I ate the whole thing

did WotC have any way of knowing that you didn't switch out the rares with other commons?

Sad you did not keep a few boosters
think eric would have been happier
then getting one of my scanned packs.

Did it only happen in revised or does anybody know of other editions?

One happier thing that happened in Italy (Rome) was with Mirage starters (not boosters) in English... one day a store sold about ten containing ONLY rares  ;D

No, it was 5 years ago... I had no refund from Wizards and/or the store... I wasn't a collector at this time. Couldn't imagine that some crazy people would look for this kind of stuff... ;)

Seen a box of Revised that was ALL rare. There's where your cards went  ;D. I've recently seen Revised w/ no rares opened, but I question the honesty of the store where they came from, people got absolute garbage. I question how easy it is to modify the packs for their gain.

I've personally opened starters w/ 6-9 rares in each. Funny thing: I purchased one to get mint BASIC LAND for my set when Onslaught first hit. Got 6 rares, bought the rest of the bunch, & came out way ahead. It helped promote the draft that weekend ;)

Oh yea, I got my basic land I needed for my set too.

I had many cases in earlier foil sets (like mercadian masques, prophecy, etc, not as early as Urza's, but not too recent either). Where I would open a foil rare, and still get another rare. Since then, if you get a foil rare you usually don't get a normal rare (from my experience drafting).

Once, I also got a Foil Uncommon, 3 more uncommons, and 2 rares in a pack.

I think that when foils get inserted, the order and packs are more likely to be messed up.
