SCAMMED out of a Pokemon 151 Booster Box

- It finally happened for me, but i suppose it was always going to happen eventually. The worst has happened for the channel... We got scammed. We got scammed out of a Japanese 151 booster box as we didn't get the guaranteed hit we were supposed to.
I'm pretty convinced this is a resealed box, but I'm curious what the community thinks.

Ok so you're trying to show a LEGIT video of a fake booster box, but decided to cut out several parts. Why? Why not just play the whole thing through so we can see everything as it happens. The side which you showed to be broken and 'glued' was not unstuck during the opening of the video. After a cut in the video, you then show it unstuck. Your argument is that you didn't receive the right pull rates however did not actually show us all your pulls? You did not inspect the pack wrappers at all, or didn't show us them at all, which is a big clue into whether a pack has been opened and resealed. In fact reviewing the way they were being opened was absolutely what you would expect from a normal pack. The packs we saw you open had decent pulls in, and were as we would expect. Why would someone reseal a box but still give you very good cards? This is really inconsistent with genuine fake Pokémon booster boxes. You got a duplicated Arbok EX which is not uncommon at all, and used this as another reason why it could be fake, not sure why that makes sense. The top being popped in is very common, and packs slipping above the sleeve is also very possible in a real box. From the start you were illustrating this as a possible fake box with actually very little evidence of it being fake. Overall acting I'd say was 4/10. I could be wrong but I'm just not buying this at all. DM me to let me know if I'm spot on. This is sussy bussy as you said.
check the serial number on each pack, normally located on the inner center part of the flap. all 20 packs should have the same number and if you see one or two with different numbers then you know for sure they weighed it and replaced it.
Yeah I did this after someone else commented the same thing. I did find 1 pack with a different serial number. half of them didn’t have a code at all, which could also mean tampering. Thanks for your help!
Although that doesn’t necessarily mean that someone tampered with the items, sometimes numbers can get mixed up and they accidentally print the wrong serial number, or they accidentally put different packs into another box, it’s rare, but it does happen
@theyo-kaiguy every box contain atleast 1 pack that contains a SAR or even a SR. He had none. So therefore there should be atleast ONE pack with a different serial number than the rest.
I am skeptical of a box I opened which only had two ar cards. No serial numbers though... does that mean it's resealed?
sorry this happened to you..
thank you for still uploading this video to show how boxes can be tampered with and what to look out for.
So in no particular order in a booster box you get upto 1 masterball reverse holo, 4-5 ex holos, 3-4 SRs of full arts and then 1 either SAR or a Full Art Trainer but not both. The exception is a god pack so far. I have not see anyone pull both a Trainer and then a SAR. In this set yet.
That sucks, they definitely pulled out the guaranteed full art Pokémon, full art trainer, or a special art rare.
Man that really sucks, it makes me so mad that people would do this. People are greedy assholes and whoever does this deserves to have their whole collection burned infront of their face and their money shredded. It makes my blood boil. I have no idea if you can raise a complaint with ebay about it, but maybe that is an option.
You supposed to have ASR in every Japanese booster box and if you didn't have one then you did get scammed of somebody. Weighed the packs and put the light ones back in. That's not right. These people really get away with things and they should never get away with that. I'm sorry that that's happened to you. It should happen to no one
they definitely took out the pack with the third AR and the either SR or SAR.. that sucks
Also missing the 3rd illustration rare card each box have 3
I hate people who tamper with boxes and packs this really sucks sorry that happened to you
Wow..before you took the wrapping off i could tell it was opened. The cut out is already popped out.
Each pack does actually have a serial batch number and all 20 packs should have the same serial code. I actually bought mine without the box but it was a trust worthy seller and all the 20 packs had the same serial batch number plus I got the standard hits 3 ARs and 1 SR. I'm sad you got scammed I hope you find a trustworthy seller.
on Japanese cards common = C, uncommon = UC, R = rare, Secret Rare = SR, and what every god pack is filled with Secret Art Rare = SAR. This is all found on the bottom of the cards so you'll now which is which
So from my experience in one sealed case (12 booster boxes) you will have guaranteed 1 masterball reverse holo for each booster box and only 1-2 guaranteed SAR per sealed case hopes this helps if you haven’t realized this so technically if you buy just a booster box you aren’t guaranteed a SAR
Yes I think I misspoke somewhere in the video. You aren’t guaranteed an SAR, but you should get an SR or above in each box. I’m about to open another Japanese box from the reprint, hoping this time it isn’t tampered.
If any seal is broken with pokemon you have to assume it's a scam or fake. Even if it was an accident. Hopefully you got your money back!
That sucks dude, my advice, just be careful who you buy from off eBay, too many scams going around these days
so you are not guaranteed an SAR or UR but you should’ve gotten an SR at least i believe
3 AR per box
1-2 SR per box
SAR 1 in 6 boxes
UR 1 in 12 boxes
God pack ??
it probably was resealed unfortunately or just a weird box?
Yes sorry, during the opening I was saying guaranteed SAR. That’s incorrect and I didn’t address that.
1 master 4 ar, 1 sr or sar or ur per booster normally
who was the ebay seller?!?!
how much did you pay for one box ?
I WILL FIND WHOEVER HURT YOU
Dang thats sad
I bought the same shit from Japan ( Rakuten ). I have got 12 pieces of BB and there is no hit in any of them I mean no SR. I found a glue of two different colors on the back of the box where you had it ripped. So I am sure they reseal it and they know how to get it back to the shrink.
On the back of the packs on they have a lot number on them and will all match. Tried to read them in video but kinda hard lol. Its a black code on the seal tab.
Really? I did not know this. I’ll do an update since I still have all the packs wrappers.
@@CollectorSky This. The numbers can be erased with rubbing alcohol so if you have packs with no numbers stamped on the inside of the flap, that's sus, too. More elaborate scammers may even go as far as stamping their own numbers in the flap.
Sorry this happened to you. Hope you get some recourse.
I opened 5 and have no special illustration rare
This happened to me a few weeks ago. I opened on stream to provide my seller evidence against his supplier. I lucked out and got a refund.
Where did you buy from?
@@andreasjohn3587 sorry for taking so long to respond, but from a friend. He immediately notified me that the boxes were tampered with and had me return them.
Do you get a refund if this happens to you buying on amazon?
I’ve never personally gotten scammed on Amazon….yet. So I can’t speak on that
I’m looking for a reputable seller of Japanese booster packs/boxes - can anyone help?
Can you let us know who the seller is so we can all avoid?
Komugi-House-Japan , be safe y’all.
If you are buying Amazon fulfilled then it doesn't matter who the seller is as inventory is co-mingled so legit stock from legit sellers will mix with reseals and choosing the seller doesn't really matter at that point. The sellers also ship to Amazon because any negative feedback is automatically removed since it was fulfilled by Amazon so they just keep scamming. Tracking dozens of sellers who are resealing, and have been selling without issue on Amazon for many many months if not years. Reporting them gets nowhere. Go to your local hobby shop, ask them if they accept tcg returns and you're a lot less likely to be scammed. Of course this was not possible with a Japanese release but in that case ebay may be the way to go since you are ordering direct. Sad for the community.
Weren't you suspicious that the top cardboard was pushed down. That's always the first sign of tempered.
That’s true, I didn’t mention it in the video though, I was so focused on the reglued sides.
Your not the only one who had problems 3 boxes no sr and no masterballs In each box but one box had 5 master ball in one box of 151 and was not even shrink wrapped
3 boxes?! Makes my video look like petty theft
@@CollectorSky I totally agree it's so easy to tamper with
Packs removed. Weighed. And replaced with lighter packs.
If You've
got the video !
it's a real evidence, and can help you to back your money !
I’m BACCKK. (I’m super sorry man)
😂😂😂😭😭😭
Rip
I opened 3 booster boxes, in my 1st box i got zapdos SAR, my 2nd box looked alot like your box but i did get a nine tales SR, but my 3rd box i hit a godpack with zard & venusaur
all they have to do is wrap the whole box why doesn't pokemon do that?
Opening and re-gluing the side flaps is a huge issue too
@@CollectorSkywhat’s more shocking is how this happened on a shrink wrapped box, many sellers sell these without shrink wrap I plan to get a shrink wrap for sealed and a non shrink wrapped for opening (I haven’t bought these since they dropped just because of this)
SAR = Secret Art Rare
why didn't they just glue the side back lol
Lazy scammers 😂
Only buy these from reputable sellers guys. NO EBAY NO FACEBOOK NO WHATNOT
Normal Box
resealed. Sorry.
First of all why is the top open 😮😮
The slit on the top is sometimes opened even on brand new boxes from the store
i think you got scammed
Box seems legit to me
resealed dont even need to see the box opened the skrink wrap is wrong
Can you explain how you can tell?
@@CollectorSky You can’t tear JPPC shrink like paper or thick plastic, it just stretches until it rips. The noise of moving the shrink around is also a lot less noisy. JPPC shrink is very thin, the best example of what JPPC is like is cling film wrap you find in the kitchen section for food except it doesn’t stick to itself. The weight of a legit 151 box is 267g-275g. Those are the weights of 25+ boxes that have gone through me since release. Each box you are guaranteed. 1 of either SAR/SR/UR, 1 Masterball, 3 AR, 4 EX & between 7-9 Holos. The numbers on the packs should also match if some don’t have numbers at all from a box that’s pretty normal if one has a completely different pack number then it’s a reseal. Sorry this happened to you dude but hopefully what I’ve said will help you out in the long run.
@@AkitaZeroBS I appreciate it man. Hoping this will help other people!
Super thorough response above for anyone that has questions
This box is legit.
How much you pay
I pay a lot
@@CollectorSkyhow much?
It's terrible that you cannot get a box. That was not taperedwidth. This is nothing but a bunch of rip-off people. And we all need to know who you got it from.
Think it’s somewhere in the comment section already but I’m happy to say it again. Komugi-House-Japan was the seller.
Could always do the rip test. Japanese cards will be blue inside and English cards will be black
I don’t doubt the cards are fake, it’s just the packs being switched out.
