The Premium Packs are Booster Packs that were devised by Konami to provide players with the opportunity to acquire higher value cards, at a relatively low price compared to that of a normal Booster Pack. Later iterations of packs also begun introducing cards from past completed anime and manga series that haven't yet been introduced to the OCG.
OCG[edit]
In the OCG, Premium Packs proved very popular. They were met with much enthusiasm, primarily because normal Booster Packs in the OCG are not guaranteed a rare. Sets usually contained Secret Rare and Ultra Rare cards, while more recent sets also contained Common cards.
