Triforce rules Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Has anyone ever bought a pack of cards that were errors? I bought one yesterday and I opened up a pack of Magic Ruler to find all Metal Raiders cards. i didn't even get a rare. I asked the ownerif these were real and he told me he ordered the box from upper deck . other times I've gotten regular raes that were not silver at the top.

Hyper Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Well in one of my booster boxes I got to rares. Both super rares. (Fairy Meteor Crush and Nobleman of Crossout) 25 beats 24. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posthumous Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I bought a Metal Raiders pack and all of the cards in the pack were Super Rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G/S/B Master Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I got almost all of my cards rares and super rares in one Magic Ruler pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBug Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Getting all rares and super rares isn't actually an error; it's just a statistical improbability. You know the statistics for getting the rares? Well, you can calculate the odds of a single pack containing nothing but rares based on that. I could do it myself, but I'm too lazy. The point is, I can theoretically pick up a PSV pack with Jinzo, Thousand eyes Restrict, Premature Burial, Call of the Haunted, Ceasefire, Goblin Strike force and others, but the odds against it are very high. As you've clearly demonstrated, though, it's not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 [color=darkblue] I don't think I have many things that have happened to me like that, but I got a Time Wizard in Magic Ruler, although it's supposed to come from Metal Raiders.

DeathBug Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 You can't actually do it; what you could do is calculate the odds of finding a pack like that. I know, vaguely, how to do it. Next time I buy a booster, I'll write down the stats of finding the rare cards they print. Factor that in with the number of cards in a booster, and the number of boosters in a box, and you should probably be able to calculate it; it's simple statistics. Of course, the odds against you will be very disheartening, but it's not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triforce rules Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 As my rare,I got a Leogun. They could've gave me a Mirror Force or a Magic Jammer! Not fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posthumous Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 If it's not an error than I would of been really lucky. That's cool. Ahem... Triforce Rules only click the "Submit Reply" button once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Huh, you all are lucky, because I have never gotten lucky errors in whih I got all rares or anything... Once I got a metal raiders card in Pharoah's Sevant, that's oit. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toon_world Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 you gotta be more than lucky to get all super rares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyphir Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 statistically on average its best to buy all your cards via singles and never buy a single booster pack =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gouf Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by HyperShadow [/i] [B]That would be usefull. Exactly how can you do this? [/B][/QUOTE] You can go out and buy this scale that cost 50 dollars i think then this tricky part you have to open a pack so it dosen't look as if it were open put in 9 cards 8 commons 1 super rare three commons 6 rares you can use anycombos its best to use the super rares that way you can get etheri secert or ultra rare but you would have to do this at like a traget or wal-mart because other stores have the packs behind the counter and when you ask to buy the cards they just give you a pack.

Alexander Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 ...I have a Flame Swordsman that had some printing problems, plus the Gaia the Dragon Champion that has Gold Lettering despite it's rarity...I don't think the latter's a misprint, though.

Triforce rules Posted February 11, 2003 Author Share Posted February 11, 2003 I got a gaia the dragon champion with gold lettering too. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ryo Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 no this is luck people, but i was only this lucky once in my life i bought a dl crap pack to my amazement had all 5 peices of sealed exodia, imagaine that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WuFei Chang Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 gold Gaia - is it not SUPPOSED to be? I thought it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circ Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Gaia is an Untra Rare, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 No, it's definitely a Secret Rare. I think they weren't sure what to do with Secret Rares back then, and released a bunch of Gaias with Gold Lettering. The most recent printings of Gaia have the correct Holo-Text. My friend has 3...lucky rich kid. Though having 3 Right Legs of Exodia's kinda sad...when he's still missing two of the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ryo Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 yup im 100% sure that gaia the dragon champion is not an ultra rare it is indeed a secret rare so that means it looks like video game promo cards, and no gold letters, gold lettered ones are misprints and worth more than the reg ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G/S/B Master Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Don't be so sure. I've seen Yu-gi-oh card stickers. My friend has the dragon champion card sticker with silver lettering and a holo picture on it......The stickers are very true on what they look like in real life. I don't know if this is considered a pack,but he also got 2 Dark magician in one Yugi Starter deck when he bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
