I noticed that there is always one booster pack separating the two booster packs which contain the rotom and Lv.X

Now, this booster pack separating them has a sort of fold right at the bottom... It's hard to explain but when he picks up the left hand side of booster box packets there is a significant fold underneath the separating booster pack:

watch the video bearing this in mind:

What does everyone think? I'm I right or what? (This box break thing discussion has been going on for a long time and the only one thing I've learnt from it is that its not to do with the barcode and therfore the answer lies elsewhere!)
 
I'm going to a league today where boosters are sold through boxes. I'm going to prove this.
But it's also knowing what he will pull out. He knew what he was going to pull out. But, then that may be a question that we will have to discover.
 
Whoa holy smokes! Now I don't think Pokemon Inc. (or whoever prints the cards) made it to be this way. I think it is something that happened in the factory when they were boxing it. Maybe they print and set the packs with the super rare aside so they make sure you get your 2 X per box!

Gliscor, I think that was just a lucky guess.
 
Yeh only guessed it once what exact card was in there and since they open so many they are bound to get one right
 
Here's another still which backs up my theory; the box breaker holds the left hand side of the booster box packets firmly down in other box breakings which suggests that one time where the "fold" was revealed was a slip, look:

Can you say that a bit more clearer? I don't understand what you said so much*_*

The box breaker only opens a booster box once where we see the left hand side of booster box packets' have one significant "fold" at the bottom of a packet which separates two packets holding the rares.

Other times, he holds the left hand side of the booster box packets firmly down so that we cannot view the "fold". And this suggests him making the "fold" visible was a simple slip. Clear enough?
 
As in, he tries to hide "the fold?" Sounds like newspaper....

So, he does reveal "the fold" once to find out where the Lv.X is, and then hides it on the next side, knowing where "the fold" is.

Yes, he tries to ensure that the "fold" is hidden. And no, he reveals the fold unintentionally once and in other times the "fold" is not visible as he firmly holds down the booster packets.

Basically: in booster boxes (well, Rising Rivals atleast), there is a significant fold located at the bottom of the left hand side booster box packets. This packet which has the "fold" separates a reprint or other rare with a Lv.X. I can't get much clearer - sorry.
 
So, "the fold" is what seperates the Lv.X/secret rare/Rotom, and the same happens on the right side.

You got it now! Yes, the "fold" separates those rare cards BUT only on the left hand side - I'm not sure about the right hand side since I couldn't find a video showing the bottom of these packets for a significant "fold".
Although I'm sure it's a similar rule - the only difference is that on the right hand side there is an extra rare: a pikachu reprint.
 
Your theory is wrong. In the second screenshot, there are two folds. Boosters number 10 and 11. However, the Rotom and Lv.X are in packs 15 and 17. Pack 16 is normal.

No, there is one clearly significant fold throughout! If you took the time to watch the video in full - you will notice that the booster pack with the "fold" at the bottom is inbetween the rares, separating them.

There were no such folds in my two booster boxes, by the way.

Be honest - were your booster boxes of RR? This theory only applies to RR booster boxes.
 
ha ha haaaaa. i know which pack has lvx on the left without having to pick the box up. had 8 lvxs in the last 8 packs i've had.

ORLY? Of course it could've been another set of 8 packs, but the resemblance is significant. Also, how cool is that each time you get 8 packs you get 8 awesome cards? undoubtfully you'll need to pull these from at least 4 boxes when you get 8 Lv X's, so a LOT of store scuttling I guess, hm?

He has no proof to build up his statement(s), but neither have you I'm afraid. it IS possible what he suggests, however, you must be THE most luckiest guy getting packs so far.
 
Are you sure this "Box Breaker" guy isn't just setting his boxes up to make it look like they haven't been opened, but they really were, he just put the packs where he wants them?
