However, after it became known that there was a theft of hundreds and perhaps even thousands of rare cards from the expansion Fusion Strikethe community that consumes these products was shrouded in uncertainty as to whether this massive theft affected the probability of rare cards appearing in the packs they purchased.
There are users who imagine that the theft was considerable, but in the end not big enough to affect all the products that The Pokémon Company sells. There are others who imagine that the letters were removed long before they were packed, and that their place was replaced not by a common letter, but by another similar one; so in the end the theft would not have affected the rate of appearance in the packs. However, there were those who were not calm about it.
