Got this box for my daughter. We saw they were cheaper than most and needed a lot because she earns a pack by doing chores. We were kinda hesitant because there are a lot fakes out there trying to scam you with these cards. Well she got a Gengar Vmax hollo. We sent it off to get graded and it was graded a 9! Will definitely be buying more.

I have had issues in the past when purchasing new/sealed Pokemon products off of Borderland Vault, and was very happy to see that this was not the case and everything was factory sealed/in-tact. I was super happy with the cards I got out of the box I received - a full-art secret rare Espeon VMAX, alternative/full art Mew, Cinderace VMAX, one full-art trainer, five ultra rare V cards, along with a good amount of regular holo cards and reverse-holo rares that I did not have. Overall very happy with this purchase and have already ordered another!

Package came in a little damaged but its expected when traveling through the delivery system. The hits were amazing, I attached a few of my favorite hits but its definitely worth buying from Borderland Vault. Shipping was quick and there were updates for it constantly. Makes life easy and its a trusted source.

Everything was sealed, actual booster packs don’t seem to be bent or damaged in any way. Price was great and came exactly as described. Will definitely be buying again.

I've ordered sets before on Borderland Vault. This set appears to be like the others. I don't see anything that makes me think the package was tampered with.

Concern that it would not be with the original wrapping, but it is 100% legit. A small dent but nothing horrible for a sealed collector. Highly recommend this seller.

I bought this and did not know how much I was going to get. I got six hollows, 3 normal GX cards, 1 Lapras GX full art and 1 hyper rare Umbreon GX so 11 total value cards. But be careful you can get a box that was opened.

I was hesitant based on other reviews, however those people are full of it. Neither the box or the packs are tampered with. Open 6 packs so far and got 1 GX and bunch of Holos.

The product came fast and my son had some great pulls. The only thing I would suggest is putting some bubble wrap or something to keep the product from shaking around. We had a blast opening them and the price was fair compared to other sellers.

It was marked up a lot to be fair but was clearly sealed and it’s exactly what it claims to be. I even pulled 2 of the best cards in the set from the 9 packs. Def recommend if you don’t mind the steep price tag.

Legit and comes with pokemon TCG Live redeem cards. Got this two days ago on July 28th 2025 and everything looked legit. This was worth the value. Will be buying more from this vendor.

I was concerned about ordering it through Borderland Vault but it came in on time, looked legit and once I open the box, everything was there, including the promo card and the packets were sealed. I got lucky I pulled the Misty card so I was happy with the results.
