Factory Sealed Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes Booster Pack

This is a factory sealed Pokémon TCG cards booster pack. It contains 10 cards. The pack is guaranteed to be factory sealed.

We make every effort to ship paid orders within 24 hours via USPS.

Single packs selling for less than $20: Eligible orders are shipped using eBay Standard Envelope, which includes tracking through eBay and shipping protection for loss or damage, subject to the program's terms.

Packs selling for $20 or more, and combined shipments: We upgrade shipping to insured USPS Ground Advantage at our cost. If you win multiple auctions and would like them shipped together, please message us before we ship so we can arrange a combined shipment. There is no additional charge for the shipping upgrade.

What to Expect with eBay Standard Envelope

1. Tracking updates can be intermittent. This service uses USPS automated mail-processing scans rather than the same tracking process used for regular packages. Updates may be delayed or missing, and an envelope may arrive without a complete tracking history. Please check tracking through your eBay purchase history.
2. Occasional delays or missing envelopes. If your order has not arrived by its estimated delivery date, or tracking has not updated for an extended period, send us a quick message. We will review the shipment promptly and, if enough time has passed and the order remains undelivered, help resolve the issue, including a refund where appropriate. We handle any shipping-protection claim separately; you do not need to wait for our claim to be settled before we can help you.
3. A “Delivered” update may appear before the envelope arrives. With this service, a delivery update can reflect automated processing near the destination rather than a scan at your mailbox. In our experience, the envelope may arrive 1–3 days after that update, and weekends or holidays can add time. If tracking says delivered but you have not received it, please allow a few days and check your usual mail-delivery location. If it still has not arrived, message us so we can help.

Please contact us if there is a delivery problem. We want you to receive your order and will work with you to make things right. Nothing in this listing limits your rights under eBay's buyer-protection policies.

We weigh and describe all of our auction items as accurately as possible. Please note that a "heavy" booster pack does not guarantee any specific cards or hits. It is possible that the pack you receive does not contain any hits. We strongly recommend doing your own research before bidding on specific packs or sets.

We weigh the booster packs and provide that information in the auction, but we do not guarantee the contents. All booster packs are guaranteed to be factory sealed and are sourced from various official Pokémon products including booster boxes, bundles, collection boxes, tins, and more.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out before placing a bid.

Our weight classifications are based on our own proprietary statistics developed over years of weighing thousands of Pokémon booster packs. We compare each pack's weight with the weight distribution we have observed for its set, taking print-run differences into account when known.

• Heavy: Our designation for packs in the heaviest 25% of the weight distribution we have observed for the relevant set.
• Extra Heavy: Our designation for unusually heavy packs that stand out from the normal weight distribution and are very rare in our observations.

There is no universal light/heavy cutoff for any set. Average weights and the ranges we consider heavy can change between sets and even between different print runs of the same set. Our thresholds are estimates based on the packs we have measured, rather than permanent or official Pokémon specifications.

Examples from Our Own Measurements

• Scarlet & Violet 151: In early print runs we observed average weights around 22.4g, with heavy packs approaching 22.8g. In more recent print runs we observed averages closer to 22.15g, with heavy packs above approximately 22.25g.
• Ascended Heroes: In first-run prints we observed heavy packs above approximately 22.65g. Later print runs showed weights more similar to those we observed for Pitch Black, with heavy packs around 22.3g and averages closer to 22.1g.

These examples describe our observations and are not fixed rules for every pack or print run. We continue to refine our statistics and classification thresholds as we weigh more packs and gather more data. The weight shown in the auction describes the individual pack pictured.

Heavy and Extra Heavy describe relative pack weight, not guaranteed contents. Neither designation guarantees a hit, a particular card, or a specific value. A heavy pack may contain no desired hits, and a lighter pack may contain desirable cards. Please consider the listed weight, photos, and your own research before bidding.

Every booster pack we sell is guaranteed factory sealed. We document the opening of the tins, collection boxes, booster boxes, and other official Pokémon products from which our packs are sourced. This helps us verify their origin and protect both our customers and our small business.

Booster-pack contents are random. Not pulling a desired card or hit does not, by itself, indicate that a pack has been resealed. Weight descriptions, including “Heavy” and “Extra Heavy,” do not guarantee particular cards or hits.

Unfortunately, deliberately false resealing or other claims sometimes occur in an attempt to obtain a refund or free cards. When we have evidence of a deliberately false claim, we will report it to eBay and block the buyer from future auctions and purchases. Honest buyers and legitimate concerns are always welcome.

If something genuinely appears wrong with your order, please do not hesitate to message us. Share the details and any clear photos that may help us understand the issue. If we made a mistake or there is a real problem, we will work promptly with you to correct it and make things right.

At our store, we are committed to transparency and selling only genuine factory-sealed Pokémon TCG products. This guide is designed to help buyers understand how to identify authentic booster packs versus resealed or tampered ones, based on established collector best practices.

Why This Matters

Resealed packs are sometimes created by scammers who remove high-value cards and replace them with bulk commons before resealing. All our packs are sourced from legitimate Pokémon products (collection boxes, tins, booster boxes, bundles, etc.). We carefully inspect every pack and provide clear photos.

Visual Inspection: Key Differences

Original Factory-Sealed Packs:

• Crimp/Seal: Sharp, uniform, machine-pressed edges. Consistent across packs from the same set. May include tiny air holes (some sets have them in corners; older sets may vary to account for temperature/pressure changes).
• Wrapper Fit & Feel: Loose and flexible. Cards inside shift slightly when gently handled.
• Glue/Residue: None — official packs use heat-sealing only.
• Back Flap/Seam: Clean heat seal. Slight lifting on the back flap is normal in some Sword & Shield and older sets.
• Overall Appearance: Even foil coloring, balanced air distribution. No melted or flattened areas.

Resealed/Tampered Packs (Major Red Flags):

• Crimp/Seal: Puffy, uneven, flattened, melted-looking, or overlapping edges.
• Glue Residue: Visible white/shiny sticky spots, hardened patches, or peeling glue.
• Wrapper Fit: Cards feel stuck together; wrapper feels unnaturally tight or rigid.
• Back Flap/Seam: Overly stiff, cemented, or shows signs of forced opening.
• Other Signs: Color mismatches, overlapping text on crimps, or unnatural stiffness.

Physical “Touch” Tests

• Card Slide Test: Gently shake or press the pack — cards should slide freely inside an authentic pack.
• Air & Flex Test: Authentic packs feel balanced and flexible. Slight “puffiness” can occur naturally due to temperature and pressure changes during shipping.

Important Note on Factory Variations

Sword & Shield, older sets, and some Scarlet & Violet packs can have slightly imperfect factory seals or loose back flaps. A single minor imperfection does not mean tampering — look for multiple red flags together (especially glue + poor crimp + stuck cards).
