Card not found was a rare, that benefited both players
In modern SV sets you see rough guides like a Double Rare around 1 in 5 packs, an Illustration Rare around 1 in 12, an Ultra Rare around 1 in 15, a Special Illustration Rare around 1 in 90, and Hyper Rares in the 1 in 300 to 700 range, and any one specific card runs far longer than its rarity band suggests
Pull rate from Regular Packs: 1.60% The estimated pull rate for Charmander (Genetic Apex) from a Regular Pack is approximately 1.60%, meaning you might need to open around 63 Regular Packs to obtain it

Not only did I have business relationships with many regional distributors, I also purchased hobby boxes and cases directly from the manufacturers like Topps, Upper Deck, and many others
