What you get
1 booster pack opened live on YouTube, plus 2× RevPack One Rip. Current availability: In stock.
How a live pack opening works
These listings are for live openings, not sealed packs shipped to your door. From the listing: each quantity is for 1 booster pack, and your place in line is set by when you purchase. The box is opened live on YouTube, the packs are shuffled, and packs are then opened in order-number sequence — left side down first, then right side down.
The listings do not give a stream date or explain how pulled cards are delivered after the stream. If either matters to you, email us from the About & contact page before you buy.
Authenticity
The listing does not include grading or a certificate for this box. The opening happens live on YouTube, so you can watch the pack being opened. For what to look for in vintage product generally, read our authenticity guide before you buy.
