Get Ready: The Graded Poké Pack Bundles Are Dropping Soon—And They're Built Different

We’re about to drop something special.  
No gimmicks. No filler. No garbage slabs.  
Just pure heat—and the kind of chase that actually means something.

Introducing: the Poké Pack Bundle from Mankey Business.  
These aren’t your average mystery bags. They’re carefully curated, high-quality, and collector-approved—built from the ground up by someone who’s been in this game since the Red & Blue days.

What’s in the Bag?

Let’s start with what you will get:

✅ 4 Japanese Pokémon booster packs (1 pack guaranteed to be from the last two sets)
✅ 1 guaranteed English or Japanese Pokémon full art card
✅ 1 guaranteed graded Pokémon card—BGS, CGC, CSG, PSA, or TAG
✅ A real shot at a chase slab worth significantly more than the cost of the bundle

All packed into a shiny gold bag that hits different from the moment you hold it in your hands.

Let’s Be Clear: This Is Not Junk Slab City

We’ve all seen it before—mystery packs stuffed with bottom-barrel cards in beat-up 7s or off-centered promos that got a pity 8. You rip it open, you see the grade, and you immediately regret it.

That’s not what we’re doing here.

At Mankey Business, every single graded card in these bundles is either personally graded or hand-curated by me—a lifelong collector who knows what feels good to pull. I’ve been in the hobby for decades, and I wouldn’t put a slab in these bags that I wouldn’t proudly keep in my own collection.

And here’s a hard rule:

Absolutely no slabs graded lower than a 9. That means no 8s. No 7s. No “technically graded” but spiritually disappointing cards.

Whether you hit the chase or not, you’re walking away with a clean, well-centered, high-grade slab that belongs in a real collection.

Don’t believe me? Check out some of the slabs that will be included in the first drop. They may not be big money, portfolio movers, but they’re thoughtfully curated by an avid collector, myself, who would sincerely be proud to add them to my own collection. 

But Let’s Talk About the Chase…

We like to keep our drops tight. That means small batch runs, intentionally limited, so the odds of pulling the chase card aren’t just some far-fetched fantasy. Every time we do a drop, we want people to feel like they have a real chance.

The chase slab isn’t just a headline—it’s a valuable, carefully selected banger that justifies the cost of the entire bundle, even if you’re chasing and miss.

🟨 Graded Chase Tiers Explained

If you’ve been eyeing the currently out of stock 4-Pack Poké Pack Bundle – Graded Chase Edition on our site, you might notice it’s currently on sale. That’s not random—it’s intentional.

The price of each drop will vary depending on the chase card value we build in. Here’s how it breaks down:

• 💸 $59.99 price point → Chase worth around $100

• 💸 $69.99 price point → Chase worth around $200

• 💸 $79.99 price point → Chase worth around $300

At those higher tiers, we’re talking absolute bangers—especially if the chase is a Japanese slab. Think:

• PSA 10 Bubble Mew from Shiny Treasures ex

• PSA 10 Flying Charizard from Pokémon 151

• PSA 10 Red’s Challenge from Tag Team GX All Stars

🔥 These aren’t filler slabs. These are showpieces.

And if you’re thinking, “I’d rather have an English card,” do this: grab a Japanese and English version of the same full art card, hold them side by side, and tell me you don’t see the difference.

The print quality, color, the texture, the centering—it’s not even close. Japanese cards are simply on another level. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it—and you'll forever be irritated about the abysmal quality control in the English market. 

So when we say it’s a hit, we mean it. This isn’t an eBay fire sale throw-in. It’s a card worth showing off on that special shelf that you've got. 

We’ll always reveal the chase card ahead of launch, but rest assured: the chase hits hard, and the rest of the slabs hold their own.

Why This Works

We’re radically transparent about our costs—that doesn't change when it comes to what it costs us to build these bundles—and that’s intentional. At Mankey Business, we want you to know that you can trust us! Here’s a rough breakdown:

- Grading with TAG or PSA averages $15–$30 per card, depending on submission method . If the non-chase graded card is sourced, we spend somewhere between $20-$30 to acquire it. 
- Japanese booster packs average $2–$7 each landed, depending on the set. I will be paying almost $7 per booster pack for The Glory of Team Rocket set—I know, it's insane. 
- AR cards that are hand-selected, costing us somewhere between $2.5-$5

In other words: we don’t make these bundles cheap—we make them good.
Each one is built to deliver real collector value, not just a spin of the wheel.

What About the Standard Bundle?

If you’re not ready to chase a graded slab, we do have a standard Poké Pack Bundle that, depending on the variant, includes:

- 4, 8, or 12 Japanese Pokémon booster packs  
- 1 Japanese AR card  
- The same shiny gold packaging

It’s a solid option for those looking to rip for fun without the graded component—but make no mistake: the Graded Edition is the star of the show.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t about throwing a random slab in a bag and calling it a mystery.  
This is about crafting an experience that collectors will remember.

When you open a Graded Poké Pack Bundle, we want your heart to race.  
Not just for the chase—but because even the “misses” feel like wins.

Drop coming soon

Small batch. High quality. No shit slabs.  
Don’t miss it.
