What Are Pokémon Mystery Packs?

Breaking down the new Pokémon product that gives you more bang for your buck.

Pokémon cards and other trading card games are more popular than ever! Collectors around the globe look forward to new releases, but buying sealed Pokémon boxes can get expensive. Even if you splurge on the newest booster box, you might wind up opening packs and feeling underwhelmed. That’s why many collectors are choosing to buy Pokemon mystery packs instead!

What Are Pokemon Repacks?

Pokémon mystery packs (also known as repacks) are an aftermarket trading card product curated from a variety of sets. Collectors will have a general idea of what they can receive, but the actual cards in the mystery pack are a surprise. 

The contents of Pokemon mystery packs can be a single card or multiple, graded or ungraded. Some, like Mint City, may even include sealed packs. The best mystery packs consistently deliver high-quality cards and packs, often featuring desirable cards from popular characters.

Although the product contents and values can vary from company to company, the price of mystery packs will always fall within the value range of what’s inside. The items in the mystery pack worth the least amount of money are referred to as the “floor,” and the most valuable mystery pack is called the “ceiling.” The rest of the mystery packs are valued somewhere in between. As is the case with purchasing a regular booster box or ETB, there’s a risk that what’s inside doesn’t add up to the price of the box. The appeal of repacks is that, although you may pull the floor, the average value of what’s inside is significantly higher than with traditional boxes of Pokémon cards. 

If you want more excitement than just buying singles but don’t want to risk disappointment from a booster box, Pokémon mystery packs are a great way to experience the thrill of ripping packs while still getting good value.

What Makes Mint City the Best Repacks

Transparency: Before purchasing a mystery pack, it's important to know the floor and ceiling values. Reputable companies like Mint City will always provide a range of values for the items in the repack. For example, the price of a Mint City Elements is $100. The floor for Elements is $25-$30, while the ceiling is a card worth at least $300. Mint City products have 12 mystery packs per case, giving buyers a 1-in-12 chance of pulling the guaranteed case hit of $300+. 

Before you rip a Mint City, you’ll always know what to expect. The floor and ceiling values are always posted with each Mint City product, ensuring transparency and giving our customers the peace of mind that they’ll never walk away disappointed. 

Value: The best Pokémon mystery packs offer the best value, and this is another area where Mint City shines. The case hit (ceiling) of all Mint City products is at least three times the price of the mystery pack, and oftentimes more! While other companies produce their repacks in batches of 100 or more, all Mint City mystery packs are produced in cases of 12. This provides our customers with a much better chance of pulling the case hit and getting more bang for their buck.

Variety: You should be having fun, and that’s a part of the hobby that’s easy to lose sight of when you’re ripping expensive booster boxes and not getting anything worthwhile in return. The variety in our repacks is just one more reason Mint City is the best on the market. In every Pokémon mystery pack, you’ll find one graded card, one ungraded card, and one pack. The trio of items gives you three ways to add to your collection!
