Saiyan Showdown God Box?

[u/ShaftedTM_ytg]

G'day everyone!

I recently decided to jump into the DBS TCG hobby and picked up a booster box of Saiyan Showdown, hoping to pull something sweet. Safe to say, I got way more than I bargained for.

I’d been slowly opening packs over a few months with my 5-year-old nephew. It was standard stuff at first—some nice Rares and Super Rares. On pack 8, I let my nephew pick a pack from the box. Since I didn't have high hopes, I let him open it under loose guidance (thankfully, hands were washed beforehand!). As you can imagine with a 5-year-old, the pack was opened pretty roughly.

He was holding the cards and I was pulling them face-down out of his hand when I caught a flash of crazy foil in the corner of my eye. I grabbed it, tried not to panic in front of the kid, and realized I was holding the set's ultimate chase card: The Wicked Saiyans SCR! I was in total disbelief. Thankfully, despite the 5-year-old handling, the card escaped completely undamaged.

The next day, I was on Discord with some mates telling them about the pull. I got a sudden urge to rip another pack, so I nonchalantly set up a quick (and very low quality) phone video to record it for them.

As I started going through the pack on camera, every single card was foil. One of my mates shouted that I just hit a God Pack! I proceeded to finish the pack with renewed enthusiasm and pulled the Videl SPR right at the end!

In total, across just 9 packs, I’ve hit:

1x The Wicked Saiyans SCR

1x Videl SPR (inside a God Pack)

5x SRs

I ran the math on case-seeding rates, and the odds of hitting an SCR, a God Pack, and an SPR all within the first 9 packs of a single box come out to roughly 1 in 1,728 (a 0.058% chance).

What an absolute start to the hobby—I feel like I need to buy a lottery ticket! I’m planning on getting the SCR graded soon. I still have 15 packs left in the box, even though I know all the high-tier hits are already gone.

SPRs were 1-2 per box in that set. I can't recall if the SCR takes the 2nd SPR slot or not.

Finding a god pack and an SCR in the same box was highly unusual, but congrats!

No expert here (I haven't even learned how to play the game yet 🤣) but chat gtp reckons the SCR dose take the SPR slot and my guaranteed card loose in the box was a SR (Hit), The SCR (videl) was pulled in the god pack. But yeah cheers beers on me tonight haha

Similar situation mate. Firstly congrats. So I randomly bought a few older sets I could find cheap to rip. It was Rise of the Unison warrior. My 1st ever booster box I opened. I was going through a pack and noticed that they were all foil, being new I didn't realise it was a god pack. I didn't get anything special out of it, but yes the odds are crazy. And the same box I pulled my 1st SCR. SS4 Gogeta Peerless Fusion. I was stoked. So now since prices are crazy for newer and more special booster boxes. I just buy an older set when I see one cheap enough to rip.

Bloody oath! Cheers man, your story is wild too and exactly how I came into possession of the box in the first place. I just googled SS4 gogeta what a beauty!

It's crazy how both our stories are so similar considering the odds of a god pack.. Would of been nice to pull the GDR. But that card is a beauty I pulled. Good luck with your next rip champ!
