Thank you sir for spreading this warning. It's absolutely disgusting that people do scams like this!
This has been happening for a long time. I've seen lots of videos the past few years where people are weary about the wrapping of their booster box, then get little to no hits, thinking it was just a bad box. This totally changes the trust buyers will have with sellers. Keep up the great work! =)
Yes it’s so bad!
A more accurate description of their modus operandi is:
- They weigh all the packs and take out the "heavy ones"
- They proceed to open the heavy packs until they hit the SR
- They return the rest of the heavy packs into the pool of light packs
This is the reason why you still pull holos, Vs, and Vmax from resealed boxes
Very good analysis
I second this. I noticed that many eBay sellers sell tons of SR SA and not even close to that amount of less rare cards. I always found it odd now I totally get it it’s so easy to weigh packs and stop opening packs once the SR is found. I don’t buy Japanese boxes tho only singles
Thanks for the info and keeping all of us collectors aware! Glad Pokémon is implementing a new safety feature with their Japanese boxes! Would honestly love to see this on all booster boxes
Yes! This should make it better for the future
Thanks for the heads up because I have been thinking about getting some Eevee heroes boxes.
You’re doing gods work my brother thank you so much for this information. I’m fixing to pick up a few of these bad boys
Great vid. Just inspected the heroes box that we literally just picked up haha. Real helpful!
Good!
I'm glad I was able to identify the scam one when you first asked for it (the giveaways: the plastic wrap popping out on the side, mostly), even though I wasn't sure. Coming from the world of kpop cards collecting, I'm not new to scams, so it's really good to know how they present themselves in the Pokémon side! I never would've know about the type of plastic the booster packs are sold in, that's great info to have! Thanks a lot for this video!!
Speaking of eevee, I went to my local Walmart tonight and found a huge stock of pokemon. I was amazed to find the flareon, vaporeon, and jolteon alt art premium collections!! I bought 2 of each. I was so psyched!! I've held off on these because of high prices online and didn't think I'd ever find in stores. Was my lucky day 😀 cracking 1 of each and keeping the other 3 sealed.
Niiiiice
Good information for the community. Keep educating us on how to NOT get scammed or cheated out of what we are paying for.
Glad you liked the vid!
Another tip all of the batch codes should be the same. (the number printed underneath the flap of the packs.) If even one is different from the rest you have a resealed box.
Yup!
Thank you for alerting the community with these helpful information! Everyone have to look out for scammer for each other
there is a production code printed on the back of each pack. one box should have matching numbers for all packs, else its not from the same box.
Thank you for the info. I appreciate the heads up!
Holy cow! Thanks for bringing awareness I did not know this
This is very good to know, I’m definitely more into Japanese cards than English. I’m glad they are fixing the box issue. Thanks for the info man!
Yes! Hope it helps!
Am excited to get to know 'bout the scam
Good stuff to know
As someone who just enjoys watching other open packs my first thought to not get scammed was to not buy the box 😂 by anyways glad to see them changing up the seals❣️
They should add a single extra randomly weighted cardboard card, so when you weigh them, All of them are complete random weights due to the randomly weighted card
This is why I’m glad I bought straight from the Pokémon center in Okinawa. Unfortunately though, they unsealed my bb of vmax climax as soon as I bought it
I also only bought one at the time but wanted some more later…all sold out
Thank you for posting this. I was literally eyeing EH boxes the other day
Ohhhhh glad you caught this
Thank you for posting this. These scams are really pushing me away from this hobby.
This happened with my star birth box. Was like a cellophane wrapper and one was soft. One was real and one was resealed. The hits were all holos in the resealed one.
Wow!
@ 2:15 the first thing I noticed was the legit one has a small gap between the lid and the side of the box, the fake is sealed so tight that it actually looks more professional but gives it away
Love your intro and outro. We need more of that. God bless!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks bro. I wanted to let you know that no video popped up at the end where you pointed lol
Hope you get to feeling better man!
i want to buy a booster box but i can only get them online as a live in germany and now im scared :(
Thank you so much this will help everyone from being scammed!!,
Informative video mate, Thanks 👍gotta be careful buying these online, esp. considering the price hike!
Glad it was helpful!
I like you imitation of us saying “oh you switched it up”…very funny…thanks for giving us the details…
Ha ha ha
Thanks for this video! I wish I had learned about this recently since I actually tried to open an eevee heroes box with a friend today, but instead of the "light" packs, I actually got korean eevee heroes packs inside my booster box. Trying to get a refund from the seller and get thigns sorted out.
Wow!!! That’s a new one.
Aren't Japanese packs serialized?
So you should be able to check the serial numbers?
Glad I found your video. Was going to start buying boxes because I wanted to try and pull the whole set but with current prices, not worth the risk.
Nope not at all
I bought a box off of eBay and was amazed that the vmax cards had texture and passed the light test. I ripped one it was literally a sticker on “the card”.
Holy
Crap wow
wow this is just sadge, now I am more skeptical on buying boxes on ebay.. this is scary...
Thanks broz appreciate you💯
Great video thank you for this! It was very helpful. Glad Pokémon Japan is doing something about it now.
Me too
And that goes for others Boxes 📦 of cars from that matter because when you think about it all you’re doing is buying cars that they’ve picked out, so yeah, he’s right thank DR. Applesauce. 👍🏿👍🏿✨✨✨✨✨
Damn all this for a few alternate cards. Crazy
Thank you for the info
Thanks so much for the heads up!
Hope it helps
Damn… 25 years + in the game, and they still produce products that can easily scam an American buyer? 😩💔
Thanks for this vid Will. Dude just ripped an expensive dud box to educate us 💪💪
Hopefully the vid helps people over time
hmm. the problem is that the seals are pretty inconsistent from pokemon themselves. i open cases of boxes and the seals are so varied. some tight some loose. some slightly damaged. the only way to know for sure is to open some boxes and only buy from trusted sources.
the MATERIAL of the seal is noticeably different, and is pretty easy to spot if you’re looking
im pretty sure i got one of these on amazon. luckily my prime benefits came through and i got a refund.
Nice!
Great video man!
It must take so much more work to be sleezy. Imagine if these scammers would use their time on more productive avenues.
Right?!
Do you have any tips on American cards and how to not get scammed on them?
Tons of em! Start with just buying from reputable sites only. This guide I made will help get you started.
ruclips.net/video/5WGKfPKpnMk/видео.html
@@DrApplesauceTwo thanks ill check out the vid :)
do people reseal American booster boxes too?
Just bought two of these boxes from meccha-Japan. I have bought from them before and had no problems. Thank you for letting me know about this, I don’t know if I would have even noticed. Hopefully, I get an authentic product.
I hope so!
Damn, i honestly won't buy any of these boxes because i spent all the. Money that i had on two cardmarket grading 9.5 sylveon v japanese alt art and sylveon vmax English alt art for 230 euro total, I'm honestly super happy, i know that nobody cares lol but i just wanted to share, you got a new sub btw, i like your videos!!
Thank so much for this video. Very informative. I’m about to buy a box so will check as advised.
Is there a way to tell if the boxes are fake?
Not that I know of
Great content! Not into Japanese cards myself. But still good information to know!
P.S. your link for your $60lighting kit is not working. For those interested, I just wanted to let you know to update it!
Have a good one brother and keep up the good content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Appreciate the info!!!
Damn you made me second guess myself from buying a box on Ebay for $350
Hi ! Nice video thank you for the warning ☺️ Have a question, where can I buy real one ? I mean .. I saw on CardMarket some BB for 60€… 🤔
Just like I said in the vid, I wouldn’t buy unless I’m person, or from a shop I trust
I mean I think I’m kinda getting good at this I took a guess and ended up guessing which one was fake 😂 thanks for the helpful tips! 😊
Ha!
@@DrApplesauceTwo 😊
The newer boxs with the rip strip are easier to scam these rats will always find a way
True. It’s really sad
Great video! Thanks for the warning on this.
Glad you liked it bro.
Awesome video 👍🏽Thank you.
Heck yes!
That is why I don't collect Japanese version, you can't trust ebay sellers unless is an actual store.
I got two Celebrations UPC's from stockx near the beginning of the year and im starting to be concerned about their legitimacy...
yikes
@@KingTheGermanShepherd I put them on cases and haven't looked at them since, but im gonna do some investigating here in a bit.
Hmmmm. Hopefully they’re ok
Thanks for the info.
Does amazon Japan sell resealed boxes??? Bc I just order skyscraping perfection booster box
Idk
gosh got scammed too
Appreciate the warning bro. Random question: do you know of any companies who's still buying bulk?
I think most have stopped temporarily
Love the Benchmade mini grip!
Nice eye
Should the packs slide in a sealed box?
Hmmm. Not sure. Usually no, but I could see how it’s possible
You gotta do a video weighing the packs from a real booster box
And thank you for showing us this , I'm actually looking to buy some boxes now I gotta be more aware
Yes! Just look at the boxes closly
Great info, thx for sharing... I would have liked the real legit box opened as well in the video to compare what you would actually get...
Well, I don’t feel like ripping one of my 2 original print Eevee Heroes boxes lol. I’m saving them for sealed collection.
I saw this on tca gaming ! He bought it at a reputable place his distributor and he still got scammed granted they refunded him so I think it’s deeper then we think .
I agree. Its comming from japan like this. So a supplier in japan is doing this.
Good thing I have no interest for this set. No, not the product itself, it’s the price, lol.
Thanks so much for these videos!
You are so welcome! Glad you like them
Is there any risk in getting a case with these of ebay? is there any seal on the case? Thx for the video man
Yea I think that could still be compromised, but I don’t have evidence to prove it
Oh wow! I think this may have happened to me as I purchased two Lost abyss boxes off ebay and I pulled nothing except 3 holos and a aerodactyl v normal. When I hit up the supplier, they were hesitant and didn't really communicate much so yeah :/
Oh noooooo
That’s Crazy and that’s what make people not buy card no more ya make sure your Box of Cards 🃏 are legit. 👍🏿👍🏿✨✨✨✨✨
I went to tcg con a couple weeks ago, only one seller had 1 box and he was selling it for 300. I was like ahhh no lol
Hahahahahahhaha hard pass
Mannn this has me stressed I just bought two boxes coming 😢 geat video abs info bud thank you!
Inspect them carefully and look at what I lined up in this video BEFORE opening. If they seem resealed get a refund and use my video as evidence if needed.
Thank you so much, good to know what to look out for. Can you please tell me where you got your shirt from? I know you’ve worn it in a few videos and now I just want one.
I bought it at a convention 😂
Disappointing to realize Japanese people actually do stuff like that.
Thank you I'm now confident mine is legit. I just got it in the mail today and didn't know how common revealed boxes. Also it came from Texas. Do you sell these on ebay?
I do not
@@DrApplesauceTwo darn that would have been a funny coincidence considering this is the first of your videos I've seen
I just got into collecting and bought a box on Amazon for 220… possibilities of it being resealed set aside did I get scammed ?
I mean, watch this video, I 100% wouldn’t be buying single boxes from Amazon
@@DrApplesauceTwo I appreciate that answer/ knowledge but my question is if it’s a 100% legitimate box do you think I over payed ( I couldn’t word it right the first time)
@@DrApplesauceTwo great video btw
Thank you 🥳
Wow,danke auch aus Deutschland 👍🇩🇪.
woah thats so awful!
Thanks great vid
Does every English pokemon booster box have the white pokeball on the wrap?
Modern ones. Not vintage.
Sad because it's such an awesome set.
Smh i was going to buy this box but im not. I dont care from whom. Im good no thanks and its sad.
Probably too much effort for pokemon to bother doing, but if they just made all their cards weigh the same then that instantly solves this problem haha
just not possible to do. Full art holo cards and full textured cards are sadly always going to weigh more than your regular commons and uncommons
@@DrApplesauceTwo there are ways to do it, 1 example just add X amount thickness, which wouldn't be much at all, to the common etc cards to match the weight of the heavier ones. There would be ways that smarter people then me could come up with but yeah pokemon aren't going to do that unfortunately. No profit to them to change how they make cards which would probably end up being a more expensive way to make them etc etc. Just a shame there are nasty people out there who want scam others. But still, nice work on the video and giving us viewers some more info on this type of stuff and helping us. This is a great channel 👍
As soon as you said you were gonna try and keep it one shot so we can’t say you switched out the packs, you cut and went to another shot😂
I know yur legit tho bro
The box was still sealed at that point.
your content is amazing. how are more people not following you?
Slowly but surly my friend!
Wow, it’s so sad to see this. Would the EH Vmax box be the safer route?
Thank you so much for your videos! I saved a lot of money on SD Charizard because of you!
Yea probably!
no. the eh vmax box are notorious for scams as people can also take out the packs(weight and replace them) from the sealed plastic cover that can slide since its only attached by a tape... So those are one will be the first to avoid.
So I just opened a box yesterday and got like 12 hits, but no secret or alt art. Is it possible to get 0 secret rares?
Yes. Some of the scammers open packs until they hit the SR then combine, reseal, and sell booster boxes. The VS a VMAXS have little value (the sealed pack is more valuable than a VMAX/V) so they don't care about them.
@@MrHous26 So it is possible to get no secret rare out of a legit box?
@@Acta_Non_Verba u are guaranteed a SR in the box i believe
Yes I suppose
You got a tampered box… guaranteed SR or higher in every booster box. I have heard of broken batch boxes where they have pulled multiple SR+ cards in the same box. Hence the term “God Box”… very rare that you’ll get one of those boxes before someone in Japan does.
Lol now people want to listen. SMH
It’s such a shame people do this 😢
It was torn but he still cut it lol
Good point. Lol.
Loved the video it was just funny and thanks for the heads up. 🤝🙏
Thanks dude
Hope it helps!
How many times u keeping saying 🤔
English eevee heroes much better bet. Than Japanese set at this point. You can’t really tell the difference between.
Well you can, but I agree with you.
You know, you would think with those boxes have guaranteed certain hits per box, that at least 9 out of 10 boxes sold the customer is going to complain andeabe bad reviews etc. You would think the cute little scam would unravel very quickly for the scammer
You would think. But these are coming strait from Japan.
@@DrApplesauceTwo They got customer reviews on the site they are sold? If it's like a 3rd party sort of like Amazon. I imagine if they sell direct they don't have comments or they are fake comments.
