Is there actually some way to know if you are getting a holo out of a pack of cards(Yu-Gi-Oh)?

I want to know. I choose packs simply at random, but there are just some people who get good cards without even trying. But, that got me thinking, is there some way to actually tell if you are to get something good or not?

Is there actually some way to know if you are getting a holo out of a pack of cards(Yu-Gi-Oh)?
theres 3 ways i know of, scaling, bending, and freezing.





scaling would use a small diamond grade scale to compare weights of packs. the heavier pack would most likely contain a holo. holo cards have extra material in them which wil make them weigh more.





bending is slightly bending a pack to feel for resistance. the more resistant packs would have the holo. the holo material makes that card thicker compared to others making it less easier to bend.





freezing is putting a pack in the freezer for a hour or so. the holo pack will inflate and get puffy. i never tried this, so i dont know the logic behind it.
Reply:You actually can tell...


On the holo packs, there is something different with the pictures. This lets companies pull holo packs, and guarantee they are holo. and secret rares from what i remember are supposed to be 4th from either the top or bottom on the left. Report Abuse

Reply:Not really to tell you the truth. If you are really that concerned I have two websites that will help you. Yugiohmint.com is there for you to purchase cards. Yugiohcardguide.com is there for you to look at all the booster packs and see what are in them. Those to go hand in hand. Look and the card guides and see which boosters you have been getting and see what is actually in them. If you don't want to buy any off of Yugiohmint you can still use the card guide to your advantage and buy the certain booster packs you are looking for.





P.S. You are also garunteed with a Rare card in every booster pack.
Reply:some say that if u buy the 2nd or 4th last packs of a booster box u can get either a super rare or possibly a ultra rare, some say the best cards in a booster are near the bottom of the box





also its not that easy either... some ultra rare cards curve an sort of bend after awhile... so if the packs are old then feel if the packs are slightly thicker or bigger then the rest, then u'll have a rare card in it... well "Rarer" card in it... but that is pretty hard to know...





i know the 2nd and 4th last packs usually do have better cards, i did that with the Chazz Princeton boosters, and i got Ring of Defense out of the 4th last pack, and a Armed Dragon Level 7 out of the 2nd last pack... i got Destiny Draw out of the 2nd last pack in the Aster Phoenix packs and Eternal Dread





i might of just got lucky, but i always do that, cuz i just recently got Chythonian Emperor Dragon in Tactical Evolution by choosing the 2nd last pack of the box, and Dark Horus in the Phantom of Chaos booster packs





anyways thats all i can say, some say the best cards are in the middle, but hey u never know right? i might of just got lucky
Reply:riddle me this guys.


if you can tell in yugioh then would the same be true in magic.


now since they make mana or lands that are holo.


it doesnt mean that you will get anything good just because its holo.


just saying that your plan might not always work.
