The quest to pull a Rainbow Rare Pikachu VMAX continues with more Vivid Voltage Booster Pack Openings! In part one of this series we managed to pull some great cards and make a profit on the cost of opening 10 Booster Packs.
The Pokemon TCG Vivid Voltage set is quite hard to obtain due to the fact the packs are in low supply because of the increase in demand of Pokemon Cards. During 2020 and 2021 the Pokemon TCG has seen a new surge in popularity, causing the prices are rare cards to sky-rocket.
Most of the packs we are buying come from Ebay- we are trying to find some in stores too but everywhere is sold out!
You can view Vivid Voltage Booster Pack Openings Part 1 if you haven't already seen are current pulls.
Below you can view the next 10 packs we have opened using our super-cool Booster Pack opening tool.

Summary: TCG Cost And Value
As we did last time, we'll do a summary of the cost and value of each card and figure out whether this set of openings made us money or lost us money. The Pokemon TCG game has seen unprecendented demand in 2020 and 2021 causing the price of cards to go up. Above you can see each card price (current) and then in the spoiler below the price of the cards when we opened them (21/05/2021).
Booster Pack Cost: $5.67 x 10 = $56.70
All Cards: $54.64.
As you can see, this time round we didn't even break-even and we would have been royally screwed if we didn't pull the Pikachu VMAX. I think anyone who has ever opened Pokemon Booster Packs before knows the feeling of not pulling anything good in a session, so I'm actually happy we managed to get at least one good pull.
The search for the Rainbow Rare Pikachu VMAX continues!
