RE: Skyridge
It's just not as pretty and sparkly as normal holo. Just a bland flare foil. Only people who'd want that are those who complete master sets.

RE: Skyridge

RE: Skyridge
If I got a box, I would open it but if I got two I'd keep one sealed. For $400-$500 a box, you won't get much value by opening it, but would be fun as hell to open one.

On the topic of pull rates, I have seen 2-4 Crystals per box with RH being twice as common.
Skyridge is definitely a desirable set for collectors. The artwork is amazing and it marks the end of the WoTC era. Additionally, this is one of few sets to contain box toppers and Skyridge is also known for the inclusion of Crystal Charizard. That's given it quite a reputation. As if that wasn't enough, Skyridge is a MASSIVE set making it extremely difficult to complete. It's quite common to open 2-3 boxes and still be missing a good chunk of the set, especially so if you are after all the different serial numbers on the bottom of the card.
To those interested in a personal anecdote: I planned to purchase two boxes to open with my girlfriend about two years ago. Back then, Skyridge boxes were only $170 apiece which was still expensive enough to make me really consider my options before making a purchase. I ended up passing on it to get a different box. Ever since that missed opportunity the price of Skyridge boxes has gone through the roof. I am definitely much quicker to respond to a good price now.

Exactly how hard would it be to get all the cards with all serial numbers because I am going to try

Getting a complete master set is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
See, if it were that easy, I was going to make each number link to a different eBay listing. Unfortunately, it is not that easy! For the time being, you'll have to either buy a bunch of packs or piece it together via individual purchases. Good luck!

I figured that im just curious on how many cards have the different serial numbers for the reader
All the scans are here:

It was a very hard set to compete. I did it when prices were very low.
I had a friend who opened booster boxes by the case and I hit her up to complete it and the reverse holo set.
The 3 headed monster (Expedition, Aquapolis, and Skyridge) killed the game.
WOTC took 5 (I believe) sets of Japanese cards and made 3 sets so huge most collectors were too overwhelmed to complete.
It is true, it is the only set where there was reverse holos of the Crystal types.
Kind of a going away gift from WOTC.
The dot codes were cool, when you scanned one it told you the others needed to scan to complete a mini game. Most were kind of lame but some were neat!

I'm sorry, no I do no trade anybody online anymore.
A year ago I got ripped off over $150 in older mint collectible cards.
Ever since I have refused to send anything over the internet.
Ahh that sux sadly I have been ripped a few times over the years as well and more than $150 but it is the risks we take being online traders.
Dose this sound crazy I want to go to the extent of trying to get every different serial number or code of each card.
I don't know if they printed so many of each pokemon with the same code/serial and then moved to another E.G say if charizard had 1234ddfr they would print 100 of him with that code then move to another code could any one clarify this for me?
If it is true were would I be able to obtain the information of how many codes there are per card.

Yeah, I have 10 complete sets... In my dreams, though I liked Daelum's post that made me chuckle.
Ahh ok do you know where I could find info on the numbers I only want to do the skyridge set might as well do the hardest set first .
If only I had knowen skyridge was going to sell like crazy I had fare few of them back in the day then I sold all of my collection four years ago I regret it still to this day.
