Someone at my locals yesterday hand scaled, ironically, a HAND of the Six Samurai from one of his prize packs xD

personally its good info, but i won't use it. i like the feel of excitement that it brings and i like the normal rares too. Everything can be used, if not now, later. Marionette mite or cheerful coffin for example.

just my opinion 3nodding


Oh I know that there are lots of commons and rares that are highly playable currently, and several waiting for a use. It's just that if I am going to spend $3.99 + tax for a pack of cardboard, I would at the very least like to get something of equal value, you know? xD

Then again, this game and eBay in general is my job as well as hobby, so profiting or at least breaking even is obviously more important to me than someone who plays purely for fun 3nodding

On a side note, I'm glad you find this information helpful even if you have no use for it x3 It lets me know that I did a good job putting it together, and that makes the hour or so I put into typing it up completely worth it :3 My only other wish is that someone, even if just one person, can take this and use it to their advantage, and be better off for it ~ <3


well i've kinda done this anyways using my hands, only i look and try to 'feel' for a lucky one ^^; works 60% of the time.. or if i can't touch them, ask them to pick a lucky one.. O-o those results are scary.. 75% of those are shiny rares with lotsa use (got my Freed the Matchless General and Last Turn that way....).

Heheh. You should feel bad for me, you know. In a society such as this, someone with a sense of Justice as strong as mine is destined to drive themselves mad at their overall inability to change it.

Humans can try to pass themselves off as some great and righteous creature with their laws and religions, but they'll still use whatever underhanded tactics is within their means to get ahead. Self-gain at the expense of another, it's the one thing I will never accept and never forgive!

Disgusting, wouldn't you agree?

Seeing as that notion of personal gain at someone's expense is the entire basis for this thread, I see I shouldn't be here for my own sake and no one else's.The reality of my inability to do anything to better this rotten society is too much for me to bear.

Farewell.

Thank you for once again posting useless, opinionated, biased and moral based crap when I have asked you MULTIPLE TIMES not to. It is quite obvious that you are dead set on having the last word. THAT is the only reason I feel bad for you. So pathetic.

I have been civil and polite up until now even though you have completely ignored my one and only rule for this thread. I'm done. You insist on coming back every time regardless of how nicely I tell you (even though it shouldn't HAVE to be stated) that this isn't the place for you. You insist on posting derogatory statements (whether directly or indirectly) towards scalers that promote confrontations REGARDLESS of how clear I've made it that I don't want that here. This is a place of INFORMATION. NOT a complaint box.

Your presence in this thread is like that of a male in a female's locker room - Unneeded, unwanted, and UNWELCOME. I hope for your sake that the above post is indeed your parting shot. Post here again, and I will report you promptly. Don't think I can? You broke my one and only CLEAR rule for this thread multiple times by posting rude anti-scaler remarks. I let it slide and even tried to be reasonable and just agree to disagree, but you couldn't just leave it at that. Spam this thread even once more, and it will come back to bite you in the a**. That, I promise.

Farewell.

you can also do the elspeth method, buy a box put the packs in a freezer *this will not harm the cards*, leave them in for about 1.5-3 hours, the foils will show bends in the packs the regulars won't look any different. So resell those packs online or w.e and enjoy.

But i did use the scaling option at one point.

I went to target about 4 months ago and got 4 packs one showing a huge difference by 12 grams. Turns out 3 secrets in that pack *toy magician, avenging knight parshath, hand of the six sams*

My local Meijer store has a .1 (or .01, can't remember) scale that they allow customers to use.

But my main wonder is, how can you tell with the blister packs?
I tried last night and only got a normal rare.
It was StarDust Overdrive, with the Security Tab thingy inside.

I'm not saying I'll always scale, but $50+ for a single card is ridiculous.
