Luck tends to happen to those who have just started collecting again, I've noticed. I had intense luck with HGSS packs back when I seriously started collecting again, and then I've had dry spells since, while I've seen other people get crazy lucky with booster pulls in PC's booster pack thread after starting to collect for either the first time or getting back into it. Of course, then they start to expect such luck in every booster they buy, which just isn't realistic.
