Ever wonder why you always get those regular rares and miss out all the holo cards from booster packs you buy from regular hobby stores no matter how many packs you buy? Be aware, you might be the victim of scaling.
Full credit goes to JerichoPojo from YouTube. I did not make any part of this video at all.
Our regular hobby stores might be scaling their packs before they put them for sale. What do I mean by this? When you buy a booster box and open it up, you can each individually weigh the packs and find out which ones has the Super and Ultra rares even without opening the booster packs. In this case, the store might have already acquired the holos of the box even before the regular customers has the chance to pull them from the packs.
Buying factory sealed Booster Boxes will help circumvent this problem because you are assured that the products are not searched yet and you still have the chance to pull those hard to find holos. The disadvantage to this is that you are forced to open up more packs than you should and get many useless copies of commons for that particular set instead of buying multiple packs from different sets.
There are other methods of finding out where the rare cards are and some of them are freezing, foiling, but the most rampant method used is scaling. This does not apply only to Yu-Gi-Oh but also to different card games.
When buying booster packs, always keep this in mind. Let the buyer beware.
