Last years 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection blew everyone's socks off, so we started work on a sequel right away. In order to get it out as fast as we can, we've made some changes to the configuration while leaving all the good stuff (and value!) intact.

25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II packs have twice as many Ultra Secret Rares per pack, which gives you twice as many chances at luxury rares per pack (Quarter Century Secret Rares, Prismatic-style Ultimate Collectors Rares, and Platinum Rares)!

We've cut back on the packaging, so there will be fewer packs you'll need to open (and fewer foil wrappers to throw away) to get the same number of the cards you're looking for. (And with double the cards per pack, about two-thirds of packs should have at least one luxury rare, this time, and around a third should have more than one. You could even get up to SIX luxury rares in the same pack, this time around!)

If you missed out on the first Rarity Collection, here's how it works: Every card in the set is available in every rarity, with 3 standard rarities (Super Rare, Ultra rare, Secret Rare), and four special luxury rarities: Quarter Century Secret Rares (celebrating the 25th anniversary with tons of sparkle and a watermark logo!), Platinum Secret Rares, Prismatic-style Collectors Rares (previously available only overseas), and Prismatic-style Ultimate Rares (with special 3D varnish, and also available only overseas until recently).

Opening Rarity Collection packs is a rapid-fire waterfall of high-powered cards, in seven of the games most popular foil rarities. If you haven't experienced this all-foil extravaganza yet, you're in for a treat!

Each pack will contain:
* 2 Secret Rares (each with an individual 1-in-4 chance of being upgraded to a Platinum Secret Rare or Quarter Century Secret Rare)
* 4 Ultra Rares (each with an individual 1-in-6 chance of being upgraded to a new Prismatic-style Collectors Rare or new Prismatic-style Ultimate Rare)
* 3 Super Rares
