- In this Pokemon cards opening, I reluctantly bought all of the mystery boxes I could find under "Newest Arrivals" on Amazon. Will these new mystery products be any good?

Buying mystery is the notorious scam of some one tricking a buyer into paying for a lot of worthless trash 😂 NEVER BUY MYSTERY. Automatic rip off. Crumbling a pokemon lovers excitement up into a pile of wigletts lmao
It's called business.
For every 1 amazing one there will be 200 bad ones ..
Amazes me how people can't work this out ..
@@charliesmith7256 uh ho we found a seller
yea
Or the seller advertises exactly what the contents were the mystery will pictures of the cards in there ie pictures of the slabs raw cards and booster packs. I agree majority are deceptive in what is in the bags/boxes. I am someone that is attempting my mystery bag and the biggest thing I’ve received opinion wise is make sure the value is there ie if you’re selling a bag for 50 make sure value is there most eBay sellers that did them had some horrible odds like 30 dollar bags with a floor of 8 or 12 bucks and a ceiling of 175ish out of a 100 bags 30 of them were equal or greater value the other 70 bags were the bottom value. In my opinion if a risk is being made on a purchase in my opinion the most you should lose out on in a mystery bag is 15-20% meaning you get at least 80% of your money back. Getting less than 30% of your money back will definitely make you not spend anymore with that seller.
@@charliesmith7256 not all business is good business. You act like calling it a business even though it's meant to scam buyers with the idea they will get good cards
Its good to have videos like this showing what bad mystery products are out there and what you might get out of them. I personally would just stick with official booster packs, they're enough of a mystery product for me.
Yup never buy mystery box, even big n popular RUclipsr/Streamer never buy lol
If you need videos like this to u understand .. you are not smart are you
@@dorzy207 Videos like this are helpful to people that are new to the hobby and don't know any better, that's the point I was getting at which was clearly over your head.
I avoid these things in general. I explain to my son that you have to watch out for scams. He's learning at an early age that not everything is what it seems. Good lesson to learn.
I’d like to see a video where you do order with your name just to see if you do get better pulls. That would give more insight to the quality of these products
LMAOO "oh noooo dude the fire dragon got us.." 😂😂😂 12:58 killed me
lol 4:34 literally was the same packs I ordered and rev said “oh no” I immediately frowned
That shiftry had me laughing just like it did when you saw it for the first time 😂
These are my favorite kind of your videos! Thanks for taking one for the team, every time!
it's good to see a youtuber that's showing what can actually happen with these types of products, not many do that. Plus it's very entertaining!
Hello, where do you recommend buying pokemon cards?
I definitely feel like cards off Amazon are very hard to tell if they’re real or not
Only Mint was honestly surprising. Especially when a zoo pack immediately follows lmao.
The code card was white in the Scarlett pack 6:27
The biggest scam is the grading companies you guys allowed to operate during covid. LOL...
So you say that getting $15 worth of cards from a $45 mystery box is a scam, but you also sell your own mystery packs with 5 boosters for $50…
*EDIT: 6 boosters for $55
I don’t have anything against that, it’s a gamble for the buyer and a business for the seller and I’m ok with that, but why trashing other mystery packs while selling the same product?
His actually have good hit rates though, I've gotten some really good things from his packs
7:57 bruh why is someone's username daddy😂😂😂
I have never bought anything that said mystery on the label ever and I’m still shocked that anyone buys this kind of product.
It’s the element of surprise which is dumb. I bought one mystery slab ONCE for 30$ and it was a rayquazza V that’s worth a 1.50
Loving the videos Rev! Thanks for all you do!!
Love how informative these videos are
i think we are all better off just buying a pack or two
Just not fusion strike
It’s really sad to see many companies put basic cards in mystery packs that don’t even come to half the value of the pack.
Very similar to official Pokemon booster packs :p
😂@@SenatorAri
@@SenatorAri
No the official packs are truly random with what cards and fair probability of what you get, some third party companies remove the high rarity and cards from their own custom made packs so you literally have no chance of winning.
@@mng8680 Ah yeah sure.
@@mng8680 I wouldnt exactly call it fair probability. The probabilities are made to profit. Thats why so many people have so much bulk. And do we really need energies in every pack these days? Everyone has a box full and more. From ETB's etc. I feel that its time that Pokemon can sell those separate and make packs better with some guaranteed hits. Might be a .50 cent card. Might be a 100 card. All in all in the end they still make their money. Just make these damn sets a little easier for the kids to finish collecting. The game in my opinion has gotten away from kids and all around the scammyness of gambling.
Rev opens up such a variety of Pokémon cards always keeping the content fresh!
Madness how this still happens !!
Wish I found rev's videos when I started, learnt so much since joining the channel. Love the content and how well he and other tcg youtubers look after the community.
i pulled out my binder today and went to a store that buys cards .. sold 8 cards for 50 percent market value so made 65 dollars. Im kinda regretting it now lol.. damn didnt think id have so much sentimental attachment
I can never bring myself to buy anything from Amazon 🙏
Worst part with Amazon direct they ship Booster boxes, ETB's and UPC's in bags so if you collect sealed the product always has some sort of dents or tearing. 3rd party sellers get away with murder by opening product and barely reseal and ship it to amazon to fulfil. Amazon doesnt bother checking so even after they get caught and someone leaves a negative review amazon removes the negative review and leaves the same generic auto generated response. "This item was fulfilled by Amazon, and we take responsibility for this fulfillment experience". And nothing happens to the seller and it keeps the ratings high.
Can't believe they send out things like that in these Amazon openings
Amazon really needs to put a stop to this scaming...
Thanks for putting this out Rev, lots of newcomers still buy from Amazon, and it sucks to see them get scammed
I like frogs
I like trains 🚂
AND I LOVE NIGEEEEEEEEEE
Who
Same.
I like GYATS
i also like my own comments
*You also smell your own farts.*
This comment will not get more than 100 likes 😮
Yeah you're right it wont
This ratio will get more likes than the above comment
@@bloodshotxvateo905 5-1 buddy 🥱🥱
I hope not, like baiting is lame
There’s a reason that I don’t like buying things that aren’t sold directly but Amazon.
Appreciate you always taking the hit on these and cursing a lot of our curiosity 😂
There is still only 1 company above the rest for mystery packs, iconic mystery products is wild still to this day
and what company might that be?
Companies selling trash bulk like this is so scummy
This is the best indirect advertising for your own product ever. Showcase all the scam products out there so everyone knows where to buy genuine mystery packs. PokéRev? More like PokéGenius!
honestly you save money not even buying official boosters and just buy the cards you want outright from sellers.
i love all these exposure videos! good to see all the scams get called out.
Lets see what savagery has occured in the lattest episode of, Returning empty boxes to amazon 😂
Ah, Amazon, the lost father of MJ Holding / Fairfield Company 🤭🤭
I would love to see a video of pokerev using someone else's account to order his own mystery packs so he can open them up and see what he gets.
I think anyone with half a brain is going to avoid these things. Would be interested in seeing reviews of mystery boxes that might actually be worth getting if they exist at all.
I'm a novice collector, so I appreciate your vids. I learned my lesson not to buy "blind box" amazon listings while collecting funko. Often times you get pure garbage. All your scam vids make me want to stick to walmart and gamestop exclusively. Guess ill never get the older cooler cards.
Grading a non-holo is truly diabolical
I always love watching these videos, Rev getting "scammed" so that we don't is always entertaining
The only "Mystery" packs I've seen you open that have been good that from ebay/amazon have been those "Iconic Mystery Boxes".
mystery boxes seem like such a scam- unless a friend made me a mystery box of just products they bought from an actual card store i don’t think i’d trust it haha
I haven’t seen a single video where these companies don’t scam their customers
Mystery boxes aren't usually that mysterious. They're pretty much scams.
Can never understand why people do this, just be nice and don't scam people
Call them out by name
DON'T LET THE CORRUPT GET AWAY WITH IT!
There is nothing I hate more than scammers. Every mystery pack company out there are scammers. No exceptions.
Mystery products are always nerve-wracking.
I love that you open Pokémon I love Pokémon to you. Have a good collection I think.
At this point, we should make a tierlist of the best mystery packs and so
That bought falinks was probably the company(zoo packs) buying it. That plus the pack and pikachu is still $30 profit
Yo rev, thanks for having those winter pokerev packs out for so long and doing an extra release of them. Its so exciting to see what you get in them!! ❤
Love when you open these products to spread awareness of how scammy these really are!
its CCG Select Pokerev not CGC
I don’t know how these companies get away with scamming people this bad especially when most the time it’s parents buying it for there kids
Please create your own mystery packs for the fans .. 50 packs $100 I'll buy a couple . I'm sure more of us would too...🙏
Opening packs from different stores / marketplaces are definitely my favorite video type.
I’ve been so nervous every time ordering from Amazon especially seeing that they will put their stamp of approval on giving Pokémon products a “second” chance and they were all packs that had been opened and returned
So informative!!! Love open and honest reviews 😊
I don't think a single mystery product has ever made me want to buy it 😂and this just proves it
Random stuff on Amazon always scares me
Love the Colress's Experiment slab!
Surprised they dont just make fake reviews showing amazing cards pretending they got it..
Hint: you should screenshot/save photos of their “could get rare cards” picture and reverse search to see if they have pulled it from somewhere else to claim they have them. It’s a red flag if they did pull it from another listing or google images.
He’s a fire lizard dammit 😂
They are always a gamble. I don’t buy them unless I’m mentally prepared to loose my money 😂😂😂
Just love how you open things to show us how not to buy rubbish stuff thanks rev ❤
Yeah I stay away from any mystery box stuff usually never get any value but glad you do these videos to showcase them so people can get a better understanding that most of the time you won't get anything the rare case you might get lucky!
Unless a friend makes a mystery box for you, you will lose money
I love these videos cause I'll never buy odd/random products. But it's fun to see what other sell out there and get away with.
Shiftry Slab...Rev has left the conversation lol
Crobat is extremely way too underused. He can destroy any team that is unprepared.
Something was off about the shining fates pack at 15:22 he got 2 glossifers in the pack, I don’t think that is normal. But I’m not 100% sure could you correct me if I’m wrong
It’s always fun to see you open random product 🎉
Loving the vid today! ❤
that last one was criminal 😭
Mystery stuff is always super sketchy to me… Especially if it’s just loose cards and not packs
I appreciate your actual review and opion.
And you’re right, where are the positive reviews and pictures of the people who pull the vintage packs or actual psa graded charizards, etc?
Got an idea for multiple videos where you do this same type of video but you actually let them know who you are and see what you get. Maybe even in the same video buy with an alias and compare.
imagine spending $35 to get a $25 card .... yeah ... i want to stand in THAT line
I love how Blastoise is Charizards weakness
Amazon mysteries can be a hit or a miss but the reviews are very helpful
Mystery products are always like this on these platforms. Reverse graded cards are so bad
bro its so sad to see people tricked into buying fake pokemon cards NEVER buy mystery packs you will be SCAMMED
Literally buying people's throwaway stock but people still gamble on them 😂
i wonder if theres ever anything worth it in these things lmao
Love the content keep it up with the great work man😁
Bro whenever I see zoopacks I stop from laughing loloolollol
Third party is always a risk, being mystery box is even more risk.
So cool that you do this. It really helps me feel better about avoiding amazon all together for tcg
As I've said before, anything mystery is not worth it. The only mystery is how bad you're getting it up the rear
Thanks for taking the hit on these to expose the scams.
Amazon is wildin, especially when there are returns, sometimes scammers :((
