They are both worth $29, you could've gotten a better deal on the Secret Rare, but you weren't ripped offMegaCharizard said:

Is this a good deal on a complete set?
So Collector's Cache is selling the complete set of Dark Explorers, including all ex's/full arts and secret rares for $379.99. (I'm not sure if it includes reverses)
I recently found a Dark Explorers box online selling for about $143.00/about 170.00 after taxes/shipping which seems to be the cheapest for a box I've seen, actually I've never seen a box of Dark Explorers for less then 250 before now. But since a box of DE usually contains 1 full art and 2 ex's it doesn't seem like a box is worth 250 dollars. Actually I probably wouldn't pay 140 for a box either, but if you were looking to spend 250/143 dollars on a box it seems buying the complete collection for 370 is a good deal. At least with this set which is harder to find(boosters seem to be going for 8 bucks online) and pull ratios are terrible. I mean i would never do this with any other set I collect since they are so easy to buy/find, and also pulling the rares is fun. But this set is difficult to find/buy cheap. And I think it would be fun to open the box and have the complete set gem mint just looking at the cards(Assuming they are gem mint of course).
I don't know, maybe buying the full arts I want would be easier since I don't really care about collecting the set but they are expensive.
Edit: So I just added up some things. I took the prices from Pokeorder single cards so prices can vary.
5 Full Arts I want(Darkrai/Entei/Raikou/Groudon/Kyogre) - $206.95
5 Full Arts + 3 SR's - $292.92
Complete Full Arts/Ex's and Sr's - $473.85

Haha, sorry guys, not willing to give them up. I'm gonna open a FF box sometime today, but Lucario is one of my favourite pokemon, so even if I get duplicates, I'll probably just keep it
Hello guys, I've 292 PTCG, and I dunno if there is any valuable card in that.
Yesterday I spend a time and take a photo of every card, if you wanna see it, here's the link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/98899941@N02/
Is there any valuable card here? Most of them are from 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2004.
Thanks!

How much is the secret rare Charizard from Plasma Storm? It's the only card I want from the set, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to buy here in Australia (I've only seen one for sale) or to buy from America...

Faded cards in Furious Fists
After opening my box of Furious Fists today we found a bunch of discolored faded looking cards. I'm assuming this is pretty common with the set since we found about 20 cards throughout the box that didn't look quite right. Just wondering if other people have noticed this with their packs as well.
Some of the most noticeable ones were a few various trainers where the word item was purple not blue, and a couple water pokemon (poliwhirl, amaura) that had a much lighter blue all around the card.

RE: Furious Fists Damage Cards
These sorts of things can happen when the print heads run low on ink. Some cards at the end of the cycle will look significantly faded or otherwise discolored, but usually those cards will get removed and destroyed. This is just some poor quality control. Sadly, these sorts of things can happen.
If you still have the receipt(s) for the box, you can contact TPCi's customer service and potentially get a replacement. Go here for some more information.

RE: Furious Fists Damage Cards
I don't understand what you're trying to say here. Could you please explain?
Also, as bad as TPCi's quality control is and has been historically, going on cynically commenting in every thread in which they're mentioned doesn't really help anyone. Contrary to your apparent belief, they do sometimes send out replacement products to those that actually submit valid proof that the damage is on TPCi's fault (which it almost definitely is, in this case).
As with any customer service whatsoever, there's no guarantee you'll get anything out of it, and the experience won't always be smooth (especially since you're going to start off with an inherent negative disposition anyways since you presumably just payed for something not as described), but if you don't at least try you're not going to get anything.

Thanks guys, I figured it was something to do with the printers being low on ink.

RE: Furious Fists Damage Cards
I've yet to receive scratched cards right out of the pack, but most English cards I've bought from post-Wizards sets seem to come with whitening already -.-
I don't remember it being such a big issue with the older cards.

RE: Furious Fists Damage Cards
I contacted customer service. I described the problem. They had me send in
UPC on the package
Picture of the packaging
A mailing address
Picture of the cards
Proof of Purchase
They did nothing about the problem.

RE: Furious Fists Damage Cards
I recently bought a Dragons Exalted booster box and all the cards were fine except for one card, the Giratina Full Art. The Giratina's body has two different textures, the silver parts has this cement like texture which looks flat but with little ridges, personally I hate when full arts use this texture. Anyways in the exact same locations on the back of the card as the ridges on the front are white spots. The entire card has this problem, but it's the only card in the box that had the problem. If I sent pictures and proof of purchase would they send me a replacement Giratina full art or just a pack or nothing?
