If anyone noticed, that first pack he opened, that Vulpix is worth some money. Not only because it's 1st Edition but its an error card, it says HP 50 not "50 HP" which is the standard format of Pokemon cards. I'm sure someone has posted this in the comments somewhere, and if that person was you, kudos! I actually had an error card Vulpix as a kid.
man these were the highlights of my child hood, yugioh was also popular at one point in my childhood. funny thing is im 33 now and still have my pokemon binder from when i was ten. i should get my cards graded but being so young i for sure mishandled my cards, if i only knew they might be worth something.
I remember buying a box of this back when they first came out,and nobody was buying them whenI played magic,and the guy at the LGS sold it to me for like 150$----Had never played it before,as it was just the newest game back then. Organized a quick mini-tournament that night with 18 people who all payed 10$ for 2 packs,and we drafted and went at it. Wish I would have kept it of course,but back then these weren't even looked at twice in that crowd...but the memory of that night is priceless to me. ❤😊
you a opened a complete box like that as a kid? damn, spoiled af, i did pull 1st edition cards when i was 7 but no more than a couple packs a week at most
Watching this, I feel so dumb. I had so many SO MANY first edition cards. And I just gave them away like a moron. Seriously, youth is wasted on the young. Parents, make sure your kids don't just away whatever cards they're collecting right now. Lol, this episode makes me face palm so much. 😢
Honestly tho don't feel bad they prob would get you maybe 10k used but if it's not psa 10 it drops off hard everyone had these but no one had true hindsight to keep them in perfect condition
That's unfortunate... my dad threw away his first edition comics, as a result he never let me get rid of any of my collections of baseball or comics....50 years later and none of the ones I have are worth shit..lol You never know what fads will catch on... And which ones won't.

@@Dopest209There's nothing sus about it in the slightest. It happens all the time with base and there's only 16 holos of which you get 12 in a box and generally don't get duplicates although it's possible.

I like watching people that KNOW what they're looking at. Thank you for being delicate. These cards are very precious cards for the early 2000s and 1999 era. Very nice seeing them being taken care of. I can tell you have a big heart for this and not faking your emotions here.
The only thing I'd recommend for this, and it may sound a little nuts, but I did watch a special that deals with this kind of thing, getting your nails cleaned like a manicure. Or wearing gloves or something. The people that do watch commercials and whatnot, they all take very delicate care of their hands so they are really nice and presentable for live audiences. Just a suggestion. Obviously you have guy hands, I have guy hands, we fart in our hands sometimes, I get it, but if you've got hyper zoomed in cameras on your hands, it's just going to benefit you more to do that.
OMG I wish... I remember the very first pack of cards I bought I was in fourth grade back in the 90s these were the coolest thing that came out during my time as a kid I remember getting my game Boy color too and playing the games Non-Stop I felt like I was ASH😎
I never saw the 1st edition packs for sale anywhere when I got into it, I don't think I knew anyone who cracked 1st packs, but unlimited were around and I knew 1st existed because of the Machamp. Starting with Jungle I always made the point to prioritize 1st editions. I still have all my original cards, was putting together a bulk grade when they raised prices. I've got 12 1st ed cards from base, and some shadowless. Lots of very clean 1st editions from then on. As I got older I was buying packs in secret for my birthdays and Christmas, people had long abandoned the hobby so no one was going to get those things for me. It's strange trying to complete some old sets, with the values as high as they've gotten, and it's not like I should be taking binders of these out and about. I catalogued all my doubles indexed by number and resleaved into however many original wrappers as will fit, it would cost me money I don't have to grade them. I even still have some unopened packs of Fossil unlimited and a pack of 1st ed Rocket. Still have the ebay history of those older purchases, $13 for 11 packs. I don't look back with "I wish...." I did well sticking to what I like and not bouncing around fads. Hoping to get some of my wilder finds graded someday. Grew up poor, sold candy at school to take the bus to the mall, it was some good times. Cheers to the 1st edition Dragonair, when I went to get one as an adult it had already gone too far.
I've opened loads of 1st edition packs from the age of 6 lol had charizard blastiose the whole set in a waller binder with doubles gave them away in my teens to another young lad on my council estate hey ho life goes on haha
i was born in 1995, i had dozens and dozens of first edition cards, holographic zapdos i had all of those first edition cards, my neighbor was 11 in 1999 and collected from day 1. and in 2002 he threw out every single one of his cards (hundreds and hundreds) out of his window, and all the kids ran and scooped. i had binders full of pokemon cards 1999-2002, these videos haunt me
Lol I was spending 500$ a week of my dad's coins on 1st ed, we all had tons of Charizards in proper cases, lol all got rid of those for nearly nothing, If I remember like 100$ for Charizard
I dont, i had so many hollows from this pack. Almost all of them. My mother threw out my cards when i was a teenager because we didnt use them. Over 10,000 cards in the trash. Crazy right?
@@jansentrichas8635I never got into Pokémon, but I did collect sports cards starting when I was about 11 years old. If either of my parents threw out something that I had collected or really valued, I would've left immediately... yes, even as a kid. Luckily my parents respected other people's property and weren't freaks.
Man I remember when I was a kid Pokemon cards were gonna be big. Probably the first time I learned a bit about business. I saved a couple weeks allowance, bought a pack, and started trading at school. Found a music store in town that dealt with individual cards. After about 4 years I had accumulated a nice collectiin of holigraphic (at least 6 Charizards included) 1st additions along with about 50 unopened packs that I planned to stash away just like my dad did with his baseball cards. I came home after a weekend stay at my dad's house to find out my mom's boyfriend rummaged through my room and swiped all of my cards to buy meth. That killed the hobby for me, but wow I wish I would have had the opportunity to stick to it.
@wahmaster2788 Thanks man. I still love Pokemon but it's just never been the same since, you know? Now that the meth head is way out of the picture I'm finding joy in card collecting again. Since the vintage has left a bad taste in my mouth with all that, I've decided to work on collecting Japanese SIRs as a breath of fresh air. I love the artworks. This is my first venture back into collecting since that whole theft issue which was back in 2005. Would love to try to replace my first edition collection but I'd have to pay 10x nowadays lol
Sounds like your dad made a good choice leaving your mom. Now that you're older im sure you see it, also now that your older its a good time to beat the brakes off your mom's bf.
It's so wild seeing these old packs being opened. I remember my 10th bday in 2000, my mom gifted me 3 1st edition base set booster packs. In 1 of those packs was a 1st edition Charizard. All the kids were screaming and hollering. 1 kid offered his whole collection for the card lol.. I'm not sure what happened to the card but it disappeared not long after. We had a sleepover after my bday party that day and I think one of the kids stole it. Wish I would have given it to my mom for safe keeping. Oh well... At the time, the card was worth $150 according to the Beckett pricing magazines.
My brothers had 4 first edition charizards at once as kids. My dad has a picture of them all side by side. Before they moved out of our childhood house, they gave 2 of them to their friends, lost one in the move. And kept one eventually lost. Life is crazy!!
I was 12 and 13 years old in 1999 and 2000, and I was so into Pokémon and Pokémon cards! I had so many good cards that would be worth well into the 10's of thousands' worth of cards, if not more!
@@Lozanofineart sorry for spoiling it for you but the last place I’m looking before watching a video is the comments. I’m not the only one who’s commented this. There’s hundreds like mine. Sorry trio
That would take forever to tally up...also depends if you're talking raw value, or graded value in say PSA 9 or PSA 10. But just the Charizard holo alone goes for $4-5k raw, and $220,000+ in a PSA 10
Idk bro, tbh just started watching some of his videos cause the collection he reviewed just recently of all the Charizards. I would like to believe a defect brings value like older money, but that’s debatable.
@@UnknownPCstream Every shadowless - 1st edition English base set Bulbasaur has this error. It isn't just this card. So no, it doesn't change the value.
this is an unbeatable comment and scenario... this is true, on my life... I had, like so many others, a 100 page binder full of insane cards. Between my sister and i, we had 4-7 Holo sleeved shadowless Charizards, at least 5 Holo Blastoise, and several other very rare cards..... The day the first Charizard sold for over 40k, i immediately called my mom, and asked where my binder was.... long story short, she sold it at a garage sale because we were very poor, for only $5..... Someone bought over 250k in cards for $5..... i still cannot swallow this fact. genuinely i feel nauseous everytime i think about it..... congrats on the pull.
Your story is almost the same as mine except for one thing....I have no idea what happened to my old Pokemon cards. I had so many! I'm thinking that my mom got rid of them but I don't really know. Either way still sucks loool 😂 but it's all good since I've gotten back into Pokemon. I'll collect many of them again. I think me and you have time to collect and just have a good time. I know it's easier said than done but, try to not think about the past that way. Let's try to have fun now! Cheers bro
I had a similar story. Except instead of being sold at a garage sale, my mom gave it to my aunt for some stupid time capsule for her work. They're all buried somewhere until 2100 or something lol
Sold my 15 Bitcoins during the 2020 down turn for 7500 Dollar and never got back in. Missed the biggest bull run. Biggest miss ...Almost took my life because I couldnt bare the pain and stupidty. Now finally got over it but it still hunts me now and then. Everything happens for a reason... If you sold your cards for 250K you might have gone on a trip and got killed in a car crash etc... stay positive brother. Life is precious. Live life, call your mother and tell you love her. God bless
@frantix22 i can imagine how it drove you crazy. I didn't get a house when they were 200k for decent started before they went up. Now I dont believe I will be able to afford one. I beat myself up a lot over it and felt like I left my wife down sjnce she wanted one. But Im better now.
I know I'm a little late to watching this, but out of everything that was pulled. I feel like the best part was when he looked his kids in the eyes when they went off camera and said we will open cards together later. 37min in. That is what got me. What a true friggin man, and a great parent. Kudos rev, you got more than this channel to be proud of.
I gave away a pretty big collection including first addition Charizard, Blastoise,Alakazam , and a lot more, for a bag of weed, was a long long time ago but it was a very big expensive collection for like a 9 year old when they came out, kept them in 1 of those books too, could have been worth a fortune
My grandparents have a summer home where my grandfather was born, on a small island in Nova Scotia Canada. My uncle and aunt lived there year round with my 2 cousins. There was a kid we used to hang out with named Jason. In 1999 when Pokemon was hot we all had our card binder with some cards inside. Long story short, I stole Jason's base set Charizard and it caused a family disaster between my grandfather and my uncle's wife (who weren't too friendly with each other to begin with and it was only a matter of time). Will never forget that. I remember trying to hide it under my bed and thinking I would get away with it. When I got caught I had to go through the whole thing with Jason and his mother and the apologies. Never stole anything ever again in my life.
There was a high chance for a Charizard in every box. Not sure why everyone gets so excited when they get one. I'd be more shocked if you didn't get one in the early boxes of boosters. Sure, a PSA 10 is awesome, but it wasn't exactly rare. Every kid back in 1999 who collected had like 5 of them. They're rare now, cuz all the ones from back then are destroyed from kids being kids
Not really, not in every country, at least in my own charizard in 1999 was rare card and most expensive there, It was cost of 100 big milks icecreams in my childhood.
Kids nowadays have no idea what it was like to save and save and save to buy 1, maybe 2 packs a week, only to have several weeks of just trainer cards with no rares 😩
Seeing Electabuzz and Hitmonchan pulls really takes me back. I was 14 when this TCG came out and played it a ton with my buddies. Ran a deck that was known as "Haymaker" that used Electabuzz, Hitmonchan, Scyther, and Tauros. Whole deck ran on Fighting and Lightning energy with Double Colorless being incredibly strong on Scyther. Bill, Professor Oak, Energy Removal, Gust of Wind...the deck was so ridiculously strong. Thinking back on my collection, I'm probably sitting on thousands of dollars in cards in my card vault in the basement, haha. Thanks for the nostalgia PokeRev!
I bought a dozen of these boxes as an activity to do with my two boys back in 1999. We had so much fun opening and sleeving them. We had complete sets and 8 Charizards.
Yes, people pay for the packs and the cards are sent to them afterwards. I think it might be a bit cheaper than market value because he makes money from the video/stream. But I’m not sure.
@@Bertza00 thanks for answering. I would find that very difficult to do, opening a box like this it would be so difficult to sell or give away the packets like that 😄
Watching this made me realize. YOU are the REASON Pokemon BOXES are priced so high. Why waste $200,000 on a box when you can spend it on your car or house? Much more useful things
here's me showing up like 6 months late to the party. i was just randomly in old school pokemon mode and ended up here and holy crap is this invigorating. im not too far into the stream/video yet, little over 20 minutes, but i was all over pokemon when it first came out and was all the time buying, trading, and battling. i tried to get as many as i could but basically stopped after the legendary collection (mid 2002) they ended up being stolen and i couldnt recoup what i had lost so i guess i just moved on. out of the 1300 or so individual cards that were out at that time i probably had around 700 individual cards but several duplicates throughout. me still having all of my toys and gaming consols still to this day from the 80s to the late 90s just means that i would still have them all today (possibly even completed sets) had they not been stolen.

It's strange trying to complete some old sets, with the values as high as they've gotten, and it's not like I should be taking binders of these out and about. I catalogued all my doubles indexed by number and resleaved into however many original wrappers as will fit, it would cost me money I don't have to grade them. I even still have some unopened packs of Fossil unlimited and a pack of 1st ed Rocket. Still have the ebay history of those older purchases, $13 for 11 packs. I don't look back with "I wish...." I did well sticking to what I like and not bouncing around fads. Hoping to get some of my wilder finds graded someday. Grew up poor, sold candy at school to take the bus to the mall, it was some good times. Cheers to the 1st edition Dragonair, when I went to get one as an adult it had already gone too far.
I was spoiled as a kid I had first editions. Need to get some graded . Dad loved me very much
I've opened loads of 1st edition packs from the age of 6 lol had charizard blastiose the whole set in a waller binder with doubles gave them away in my teens to another young lad on my council estate hey ho life goes on haha
@@KH-zd5ivsame here I gave them all away…crazyyyy
i was born in 1995, i had dozens and dozens of first edition cards, holographic zapdos i had all of those first edition cards, my neighbor was 11 in 1999 and collected from day 1. and in 2002 he threw out every single one of his cards (hundreds and hundreds) out of his window, and all the kids ran and scooped. i had binders full of pokemon cards 1999-2002, these videos haunt me
Lol I was spending 500$ a week of my dad's coins on 1st ed, we all had tons of Charizards in proper cases, lol all got rid of those for nearly nothing, If I remember like 100$ for Charizard
Could that box have been any better? Not only the big 3 pulled, but several starters, 5 red cheeks, 2 alakazams and many other holos. Insane.
Just missed mewtwo! But this box was insane!
Sus
Yes it could be better centering all the cards
All the cards were off center
Card especially the holos all way off centre left to right. None would be a 10.
I regret opening every first edition packs I had as a child now lol
I dont, i had so many hollows from this pack. Almost all of them. My mother threw out my cards when i was a teenager because we didnt use them. Over 10,000 cards in the trash. Crazy right?
@@jansentrichas8635I never got into Pokémon, but I did collect sports cards starting when I was about 11 years old. If either of my parents threw out something that I had collected or really valued, I would've left immediately... yes, even as a kid. Luckily my parents respected other people's property and weren't freaks.

Has to be the best base set box opening ive ever seen in terms of pulls. First edition just makes it that much sweeter. Crazy.
Man I remember when I was a kid Pokemon cards were gonna be big. Probably the first time I learned a bit about business. I saved a couple weeks allowance, bought a pack, and started trading at school. Found a music store in town that dealt with individual cards. After about 4 years I had accumulated a nice collectiin of holigraphic (at least 6 Charizards included) 1st additions along with about 50 unopened packs that I planned to stash away just like my dad did with his baseball cards.
I came home after a weekend stay at my dad's house to find out my mom's boyfriend rummaged through my room and swiped all of my cards to buy meth.
That killed the hobby for me, but wow I wish I would have had the opportunity to stick to it.
Man im so sorry to hear that
@wahmaster2788 Thanks man. I still love Pokemon but it's just never been the same since, you know? Now that the meth head is way out of the picture I'm finding joy in card collecting again. Since the vintage has left a bad taste in my mouth with all that, I've decided to work on collecting Japanese SIRs as a breath of fresh air. I love the artworks. This is my first venture back into collecting since that whole theft issue which was back in 2005. Would love to try to replace my first edition collection but I'd have to pay 10x nowadays lol
Sounds like your dad made a good choice leaving your mom. Now that you're older im sure you see it, also now that your older its a good time to beat the brakes off your mom's bf.
It's so wild seeing these old packs being opened. I remember my 10th bday in 2000, my mom gifted me 3 1st edition base set booster packs. In 1 of those packs was a 1st edition Charizard. All the kids were screaming and hollering. 1 kid offered his whole collection for the card lol.. I'm not sure what happened to the card but it disappeared not long after. We had a sleepover after my bday party that day and I think one of the kids stole it. Wish I would have given it to my mom for safe keeping. Oh well... At the time, the card was worth $150 according to the Beckett pricing magazines.
Those magazines were awesome
welp.
Brought my Charizard to school for show and tell. I guess I deserved to have it stolen out of my backpack while we were at recess. Oof

Nice job on the back up camera! Great save!
It’s so satifying to watch someone open cards I’ll never be able to afford
yeah 😂 but sometimes we gotta live through other peoples lives 😂
Of course you can, u're still young... work for it, man! I believe in u
Unreal! Highlight of the decade being the 90s relived in 2024! Standing ovation!!!👏🏼
1:41 length length error kakuna!
My brothers had 4 first edition charizards at once as kids. My dad has a picture of them all side by side. Before they moved out of our childhood house, they gave 2 of them to their friends, lost one in the move. And kept one eventually lost. Life is crazy!!
Crazy to see this being opened all these years later

A classic PokeRev 'last pack magic' ending to a monumental opening 🔥 💎 🔥
I was 12 and 13 years old in 1999 and 2000, and I was so into Pokémon and Pokémon cards! I had so many good cards that would be worth well into the 10's of thousands' worth of cards, if not more!
The zard being pulled was straight history. This was the absolute best live stream I ever seen.
@@Lozanofineart sorry for spoiling it for you but the last place I’m looking before watching a video is the comments. I’m not the only one who’s commented this. There’s hundreds like mine. Sorry trio
@@AlexWhite0221How much is the charizard worth?
About 900-100 ungraded but if it graded and gets a 9 or a 10 it’s between 6800 and 280k from the prices I’ve seen lately
@@AlexWhite0221 so 100k ungraded?
No about 900-1100 ungraded
What’s the value of all the cards together from that hole box?
I’m scrolling the comments for the same thing lol
That would take forever to tally up...also depends if you're talking raw value, or graded value in say PSA 9 or PSA 10. But just the Charizard holo alone goes for $4-5k raw, and $220,000+ in a PSA 10
12:31 Pokémon cards be like: (sometimes) a tiny little one right here- MINUS $4,000 PRICEEEE
Did the algorithm hide this? Just now seeing it
Did anyone notice at 44:10 the bulbasaur had a manufacture defect? It has “Length” listed twice.
pfffff... wth
@@kahleeb8232 what?
That’s gotta make it super rare no?
Idk bro, tbh just started watching some of his videos cause the collection he reviewed just recently of all the Charizards. I would like to believe a defect brings value like older money, but that’s debatable.
@@UnknownPCstream Every shadowless - 1st edition English base set Bulbasaur has this error. It isn't just this card. So no, it doesn't change the value.
I remember being young collecting Pokemon cards having them perfect in a binder, some of my best memories ❤
Seriously- unreal stream and opening. Rev, you are solidified on the Mt. Rushmore of Poketubers. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do for this community.
Maybe he reuses the cards he already got lol and seal them in a new box 😅

Amazing the Top 3 cards have been pulled in 1 booster box. Just amazing
Also error bulbasaur and red cheeks pikachu. Definitely one of the most insane openings ever.
@@Demolition91I've seen one with 3 charizards but it was unlimited not 1st Ed obvi
this is an unbeatable comment and scenario... this is true, on my life... I had, like so many others, a 100 page binder full of insane cards. Between my sister and i, we had 4-7 Holo sleeved shadowless Charizards, at least 5 Holo Blastoise, and several other very rare cards..... The day the first Charizard sold for over 40k, i immediately called my mom, and asked where my binder was.... long story short, she sold it at a garage sale because we were very poor, for only $5..... Someone bought over 250k in cards for $5..... i still cannot swallow this fact. genuinely i feel nauseous everytime i think about it..... congrats on the pull.
Your story is almost the same as mine except for one thing....I have no idea what happened to my old Pokemon cards. I had so many! I'm thinking that my mom got rid of them but I don't really know. Either way still sucks loool 😂 but it's all good since I've gotten back into Pokemon. I'll collect many of them again. I think me and you have time to collect and just have a good time. I know it's easier said than done but, try to not think about the past that way. Let's try to have fun now! Cheers bro
I had a similar story. Except instead of being sold at a garage sale, my mom gave it to my aunt for some stupid time capsule for her work. They're all buried somewhere until 2100 or something lol
Sold my 15 Bitcoins during the 2020 down turn for 7500 Dollar and never got back in. Missed the biggest bull run. Biggest miss ...Almost took my life because I couldnt bare the pain and stupidty. Now finally got over it but it still hunts me now and then. Everything happens for a reason... If you sold your cards for 250K you might have gone on a trip and got killed in a car crash etc... stay positive brother. Life is precious. Live life, call your mother and tell you love her. God bless
@@frantix22 this is about Pokemon….. not bitcoin
@frantix22 i can imagine how it drove you crazy. I didn't get a house when they were 200k for decent started before they went up. Now I dont believe I will be able to afford one. I beat myself up a lot over it and felt like I left my wife down sjnce she wanted one. But Im better now.
1:39:23 is where he pulls the CHARIZARD
1:42:05 in, you’re welcome
I know I'm a little late to watching this, but out of everything that was pulled. I feel like the best part was when he looked his kids in the eyes when they went off camera and said we will open cards together later. 37min in. That is what got me. What a true friggin man, and a great parent. Kudos rev, you got more than this channel to be proud of.
1:39:21 PokeRev used ROAR!
I sold a 1st edition Charizard for $90 on Ebay in 2010. Never thought they'd come back. RIP me
I gave away a pretty big collection including first addition Charizard, Blastoise,Alakazam , and a lot more, for a bag of weed, was a long long time ago but it was a very big expensive collection for like a 9 year old when they came out, kept them in 1 of those books too, could have been worth a fortune
@@ciaranfox2925was the weed good at least
My grandparents have a summer home where my grandfather was born, on a small island in Nova Scotia Canada. My uncle and aunt lived there year round with my 2 cousins. There was a kid we used to hang out with named Jason. In 1999 when Pokemon was hot we all had our card binder with some cards inside. Long story short, I stole Jason's base set Charizard and it caused a family disaster between my grandfather and my uncle's wife (who weren't too friendly with each other to begin with and it was only a matter of time). Will never forget that. I remember trying to hide it under my bed and thinking I would get away with it. When I got caught I had to go through the whole thing with Jason and his mother and the apologies. Never stole anything ever again in my life.
THAT WAS AN EPIC 1ST EDITION BOX I’M GLAD THAT I WAS HERE, 🎉
That box was honestly trash. Go watch Logan’s Paul’s.
The OG three pulled 🎉🎉🎉
I found a 1st edition holo Charizard in 4th grade in 1999. I told my mom how much it was worth ($300 back then) and I never saw it again. Good times.
Dang bro this channel is FIRE 🔥🔥
@OzdarzPokeArt I love your profile picture😊
@@paulavera1979 thanks 🙏
Everytime you had a fighter energy card, you pulled a holo right after.
1:39:18 Pokerev: come on now it's time we pulled in the big boy himself, let's go baAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Imagine being ONE pack off from that Charizard pull...oof lol
This is a golden moment in history though. Thank you all👌
There was a high chance for a Charizard in every box. Not sure why everyone gets so excited when they get one. I'd be more shocked if you didn't get one in the early boxes of boosters. Sure, a PSA 10 is awesome, but it wasn't exactly rare. Every kid back in 1999 who collected had like 5 of them. They're rare now, cuz all the ones from back then are destroyed from kids being kids
Not really, not in every country, at least in my own charizard in 1999 was rare card and most expensive there, It was cost of 100 big milks
icecreams in my childhood.
My brother is also a big Pokémon collector🎉❤
Kids nowadays have no idea what it was like to save and save and save to buy 1, maybe 2 packs a week, only to have several weeks of just trainer cards with no rares 😩
Love this. Best opening of all time
true facts
Seeing Electabuzz and Hitmonchan pulls really takes me back. I was 14 when this TCG came out and played it a ton with my buddies. Ran a deck that was known as "Haymaker" that used Electabuzz, Hitmonchan, Scyther, and Tauros. Whole deck ran on Fighting and Lightning energy with Double Colorless being incredibly strong on Scyther. Bill, Professor Oak, Energy Removal, Gust of Wind...the deck was so ridiculously strong. Thinking back on my collection, I'm probably sitting on thousands of dollars in cards in my card vault in the basement, haha. Thanks for the nostalgia PokeRev!
The fact that I can remember cracking these open as a kid man this was a walk down memory lane…and a good chance to kick myself in the ass again lmao
this whole box is way off centered
Glad I wasn't in it
I know
i mean it feels like everyone has a fist edition charizord

So sad. Just finished the second three part now.

RIP Yummy cards
I enjoyed my Pokémon cards but seeing how much unopened packs go for I wish I would’ve kept them all sealed 😂
Stop saying "oh my god" I want to slap you. Great box.
god i wish the kid me in the 90s had the knowledge to not open any of these cards..
Right I had all this and I had no idea of how rare this would be.
That laugh when he pulled the 4th red cheeks Pikachu 😂😂😅
Sorry new here. Did he buy a $200k box and donate the cards? Or did people pay like $5k for a chance at the cards?
I want to know too.. I dont understand who the people were before he opened each pack. Did they get to keep the cards from the packs?
Yes, people pay for the packs and the cards are sent to them afterwards. I think it might be a bit cheaper than market value because he makes money from the video/stream. But I’m not sure.
@@Bertza00 thanks for answering. I would find that very difficult to do, opening a box like this it would be so difficult to sell or give away the packets like that 😄
I think this is just a high roller rip and ship.
Watching this made me realize.
YOU are the REASON Pokemon BOXES are priced so high. Why waste $200,000 on a box when you can spend it on your car or house? Much more useful things
You have to spend money to make money bro, chill
…well I mean Rev is literally rich so there’s no difference anyways
He invested 200k. This video will make him that money back in due time plus the resale of cards
cry baby lmao
here's me showing up like 6 months late to the party. i was just randomly in old school pokemon mode and ended up here and holy crap is this invigorating. im not too far into the stream/video yet, little over 20 minutes, but i was all over pokemon when it first came out and was all the time buying, trading, and battling. i tried to get as many as i could but basically stopped after the legendary collection (mid 2002) they ended up being stolen and i couldnt recoup what i had lost so i guess i just moved on. out of the 1300 or so individual cards that were out at that time i probably had around 700 individual cards but several duplicates throughout. me still having all of my toys and gaming consols still to this day from the 80s to the late 90s just means that i would still have them all today (possibly even completed sets) had they not been stolen.
ABC 123 I liked my own comment because nobody wanted to be nice to me😢😢😢
I am nice
Wayyyyyyyyy too much talking dude just open the cards
I know right, made a 30 min video into a 3 hour long movie 😂
