Modern Japanese Set are Broken?! It can be weighed! Ruler of the Black Flame

In this comprehensive review, we'll dive into the intriguing world of modern Japanese Pokémon card sets, focusing on the "Ruler of the Black Flame" series. The central theme revolves around weighing booster boxes and packs to determine if the weight of the packaging materials affects the contents of the booster packs. This experiment aims to uncover whether the weight of a booster box can predict the presence of sought-after cards like Secret Rares (SR) or if it's purely a matter of chance.

Introduction

We begin our journey with two booster boxes—one with lighter packaging and the other with heavier packaging materials. Our intention is to weigh these boxes and their respective booster packs to explore the contents within each box. The hypothesis suggests that the weight of the box and the packs may influence the cards contained within them.

Weighing the Booster Boxes

We proceed to weigh the two booster boxes, revealing a significant weight difference between them. The first box weighs 292.5 grams, while the second box comes in at 295.26 grams. This initial step establishes a foundation for our upcoming experiment, showcasing the variation in box weight.

Classifying Booster Packs by Weight

After weighing the booster boxes, we move on to the booster packs contained within them. The packs are divided into three weight categories: heaviest, middleweight, and lightest. The heaviest packs range from 8.77 to 8.79 grams, the middleweight packs range from 8.70 to 8.76 grams, and the lightest packs weigh between 8.58 and 8.69 grams. This categorization provides insight into whether certain cards or rarities are linked to specific weight classes.

Opening the Booster Packs

We open the booster packs from the heaviest category first, progressing to the middleweight and lightest categories. Each pack's contents are examined, and any notable cards are identified. The aim is to determine if there is a correlation between pack weight and card rarity.

Results and Conclusions

The video reveals that weight categories do not necessarily predict the presence of Secret Rare (SR) cards or other high-value cards. In one instance, a lighter box contains an SR card, while a heavier box does not. Similarly, within the same weight category, there are varying results in terms of card rarity.

We conclude that the weight of the booster box and packs is not a reliable indicator of the cards contained within. It is suggested that the material used for packaging may contribute to the weight variance, but it does not guarantee specific card rarities.

Discussion and Analysis

To delve deeper into this experiment's results, it's essential to analyze the implications and explore why weight may not correlate with card rarity.

Material Variability: One key takeaway from this experiment is that the weight variance might be attributed to differences in the packaging materials used. Pokémon booster packs typically consist of a foil wrapper, cardboard packaging, and the cards themselves. Variations in the thickness or density of these materials can lead to differences in pack and box weight. This insight raises questions about the manufacturing process and quality control within the Pokémon TCG production.

Randomization: The Pokémon TCG is designed to be randomized. It's a fundamental principle that ensures the excitement and unpredictability of opening booster packs. If weight were a reliable indicator of card rarity, it would disrupt the randomization process, making it easier for collectors and players to predict the contents of each pack. This could have a detrimental impact on the collectible aspect of the Pokémon TCG.

Card Rarity Distribution: Pokémon sets are carefully designed with specific card rarity distributions. Secret Rares (SRs) are intentionally made rare, and not every booster box is guaranteed to contain one. This rarity adds value to the cards and maintains interest in collecting. If SRs were easily predictable through weight, their value would diminish.

Quality Assurance: While this experiment provides insights into the Pokémon TCG production process, it also highlights the importance of quality assurance. Pokémon International may need to address concerns related to the inconsistency in packaging materials' weight. This can ensure that collectors have a fair and enjoyable experience when opening booster packs.

Consumer Experience: Collectors and players may feel reassured knowing that the Pokémon TCG maintains the integrity of the randomization process. The excitement of not knowing what each pack contains adds to the thrill of collecting. If weight could reliably predict card rarity, it might reduce the emotional connection and excitement associated with collecting.

Conclusion

The experiment conducted in this YouTube video provides valuable insights into the world of Pokémon card collecting. By weighing booster boxes and packs, we aimed to determine if weight could predict the presence of valuable Secret Rare (SR) cards. However, the results demonstrated that weight is not a reliable indicator of card rarity. Instead, factors such as material variability, randomization, and quality assurance play more significant roles in determining card contents.

This experiment sheds light on the complexity of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and reinforces the importance of maintaining the random and unpredictable nature of booster packs. Collectors and players can continue to enjoy the thrill of opening packs without relying on weight as a shortcut to valuable cards. It's a reminder that the Pokémon TCG is not just about collecting cards but also the excitement of the journey.
