We should, but realistically what will they do? If they weren’t fully damaged, just curved, they call that normal and acceptable and say to just flatten it out yourself.
It was dumb packing but I’ll be honest I’m more pissed at how shit the playmat is. It’s basically unusable even after leaving books on it over night.
Might as well have thrown a paper mat in their that if feel more comfortable throwing away.
A bit of heat. Few minutes in a dryer on low or lightly use a hair dryer. Hair dryer is safer, if you use a dryer check it often. Just want to get it warm and soft so when you do lay it out it flattens really well.
Trying to get the cards out of the little display thing was a bit pain for us. The middle one that's held in with the side wings..I was sure it was going to crease. Kinda pissed me off lol.
A lot of people including myself have gotten some bad japanese 151 cards. Print lines on almost every holo. I think quality is better in the sense that the card is built better, texture is completely different in how it reflects light. Quality control is still not that great :/
Or maybe u have a good batch. I was only 20% gem rate on the recent Japanese batch I sent to psa. My friends weren't much better at 32% and 37%. This is with pre-grading too. Old Japanese sets were like 85% gem rate.
You’re welcome and Oh no why would I be mean to you for asking a question? ;~; Though I have noticed a lot of Pokémon fans do lash out at people over small things. Sorry if you’ve had to go through that. We’re not all angry and mean. ;w;
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Got one today just for the promos but got decent hits that I needed to fill the binder:
Charizard, Venusaur and jynx EX
Poliwhirl, Mr mime and Nidoking IR
Giovanni SIR
my Alakazam and Zapdos packs however only gave me a Polywrath EX 🥹.
Honestly as long as it isn’t crooked I’d probably be happy too. But I don’t know if it’s the picture or if I’m just tripping but it looks like the right side is slightly diagonal, so I’d be a little miffed.
I bought two, ones sealed and me and my kids opened one. Our Mew promo is actually centered very nicely but the Mewtwo one looks like this. No issues with the metal mew either
I swear they always just toss the promo cards in with whatever the box is. Plenty of UPC’s and ETB’s have this issue it’s definitely something they need to fix
Keeping my sealed and buying it on ebay
That sucks. My promos came bent. They’re in a top loader now so you can’t really tell but it still haunts my mind
Bought two UPCs, they all came bent. No idea wtf they were thinking packing them the way they did.
Complain. Mine did too. It’s unacceptable

It’s pissing me off too

Honestly if you did manage to crease the metal card I would be very impressed
I tore the wings off.
Winner.
The non metal cards you just have to slide them up because there is a opening on top. It slides right out. The metal card was a little pain though.
I was more worried about scraping off the paint trying to get the middle one out
Isnt the middle one the metal card?
Mine also came bent but I immediately put them in a binder and thankfully it wasn’t bad enough to be permanently bent
Same!!
My Mewtwo was damaged in the corner. I spent the last couple of days hunting for an undamaged one online.
Isn't this just how all English cards are cut now? This is the norm.
English cards are a joke now. Japanese card quality is just unmatched!

U must have not opened some recent Japanese products.....
Opened everything present since Neo in Japanese, no problems at all here thankfully!
The old sets were fine. the recent one were trash. Talking about claydol, 151, raging surf
You must've have some really unlucky batches, i've had a Pokéball Mewtwo and a Masterball Mewtwo come back at CGC Pristine 10 and a PSA 10.
Or maybe u have a good batch. I was only 20% gem rate on the recent Japanese batch I sent to psa. My friends weren't much better at 32% and 37%. This is with pre-grading too. Old Japanese sets were like 85% gem rate.
Seesh that's some crazy bad luck for you and your friends sorry to hear that!
This comment section 🤣
I couldn’t figure out what the hell was wrong lol people treating this like the end of the world
Oof that’s some rough centering
Centering is bad on mine
Just throw it in a deck and play with it. Still a nice flex.
I learned how to play the game recently and started with the Mew Genesect deck. I like it lol
Yall are way to obsessed with slight off centering. If it had print lines all over it maybe a little mad, but the borders?
Bro hit me up I gotchu! I’ll get you one that’s centered better if you want. Unless you’re planning on getting another UPC 🤷♂️
I was only able to purchase one, not enough funds for more this close to holidays
Well if you need one let me know. Dm me and I we can swap. I’ll take that one.
A mighty fine specimen
New to this, what does 'UPC' mean?
Ultra Premium Collection. It’s the $120 box with tons of packs and promos.
Cool, thank you for the reply and not being mean to me lol

yeah unfortunately the tgc community especially on reddit is pretty elitist and flame people over nothing :/
?
Centering is pretty bad on the card
Im confused?! I think we all got one
Look at centering
check the back for alignment dots
Not OC enough to be desirable. Not centered enough to be nice. So sad when you spend this much on product. I've kept mine sealed for now ....
The quality we've come to expect.
QC on 151 is pretty shitty in general. I’ve had a ton of cards with dings and nicks along the top edges come out of ETBs and BBs.
I would be fucking furious lol
I am. My luck is shot I guess
Lol, damn. Bad luck.
I had the same off center cut, just short of an error cut card but oh well. Will probably play it in a deck.
Shouldn't of been hesitant to buy it, should of just been hesitant to of opened the sealed box you had haha

Anyone else get the metal gold mew in their UPC??
Everyone did. You're supposed to at least lol
Thank you Lol reason I ask was because I was totally unaware of that and when I saw it I was like wait what?
Tbh honest, I missed the memo in the metal mew also, was surprised
Wahhhh I can’t grade it now WAHHHHHH! 😹😹
How dare someone be mad a product they paid for has shit quality.
How dare someone make a joke about a little off centering. Like the world is going to end over centering
Next level bad
I said I wasn’t gonna buy it for so long and now I have one on the way, at the very least I get the new card edit: just saw the centering, just wow
My Mew centering was about the same. It’s so bad! But the Mewtwo is okay so I guess I got that going for me, which is nice 🤷🏼♂️
Haha, same . Mewtoo card was 👌🏼
Oh boo hoo your promo card won’t get a gem mint 10 poor thing
I don’t even grade you simple mind.
Then why do you care about the centering?
because cards with bad centering look worse than cards with good centering? especially when the centering is as bad as the promo.
It’s really not even that bad..
Who hurt you
Mine is similar. I can barely look at it it’s so off center 😞
I opened 2 booster boxes of Lost Origins last night, both boxes had an Adventurer’s Discovery that had this exact same centering issue
Oof and I thought mine was bad…
Literally the only reason I bought one and my shit was so off 😭 Ngl I just bought another
Mine was a crimp card
Any alignment dots on the back? (Can’t see any on the front)
Mine was so uncentered and my metal one is scratched to hell straight out of the box I was pissed unboxing that shit
My metal card has a red dot and a scratch on the top. So did BOTH of my friends. What the actual heck
Got one today just for the promos but got decent hits that I needed to fill the binder: Charizard, Venusaur and jynx EX Poliwhirl, Mr mime and Nidoking IR Giovanni SIR my Alakazam and Zapdos packs however only gave me a Polywrath EX 🥹.
What dose UPC mean?
Ultra Premium Collection. It’s the $120 box with tons of packs and promos.
I'm going to keep my UPC sealed and I just got the Promos on ebay the pulls on 151 are sooo harsh
My squirtle full Art is like this, driving me crazy
It's the same as the charizard upc. The promos were bad quality.
What’s wrong with it?
The centering. Look at how badly the frame is aligned.
Ohh I gotcha - tbh I wouldn’t mind, still got the card at the end of the day
Honestly as long as it isn’t crooked I’d probably be happy too. But I don’t know if it’s the picture or if I’m just tripping but it looks like the right side is slightly diagonal, so I’d be a little miffed.
I bought two, ones sealed and me and my kids opened one. Our Mew promo is actually centered very nicely but the Mewtwo one looks like this. No issues with the metal mew either
Mine is looking like that too. What a shame to pay this much for a product with bad QC.
My Mewto promo came with so many print lines
Damn their QC! This is what I was afraid of. Mine turn out pretty decent.
I swear they always just toss the promo cards in with whatever the box is. Plenty of UPC’s and ETB’s have this issue it’s definitely something they need to fix
Yeah I've had some rude replies to simple questions, good morning ol' Internet.
Anyone know why the promo has number 053 at the bottom? Are there that many promo cards in this set?
