How we verify
Identical-looking tins from different waves can hold different packs. We identify tins by the front Pokemon, the promo visible through the window where the tin has one, the UPC, and the bottom production code, never the lid art alone. Rows marked as being verified are still being confirmed against sealed examples on our bench.
Watch one opened
Where a clear opening video of the tin exists on YouTube, we link it in the notes column so you can see the contents come out on camera. These are independent collectors' videos. Pulls vary, and a video may reflect a different print wave than a given sealed example.
Tins vs. loose packs
A sealed tin is easier to trust than a loose pack. The factory packaging shows tampering, and the contents are documented here. When you do buy loose packs, use our Pack Weight Database for due diligence and our Pack Trick Database for the reveal.
