- 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
LMAOO "oh noooo dude the fire dragon got us.." 😂😂😂 12:58 killed me
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’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
The biggest scam is the grading companies you guys allowed to operate during covid. LOL...
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.
Only Mint was honestly surprising. Especially when a zoo pack immediately follows lmao.
These are my favorite kind of your videos! Thanks for taking one for the team, every time!
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 $55
I don’t have anything against that, it’s a gamble for the buyer and a business for the seller and I’m ok with that, but why trashing other mystery packs while selling the same product?
Hello, where do you recommend buying pokemon cards?
I definitely feel like cards off Amazon are very hard to tell if they’re real or not
it's good to see a youtuber that's showing what can actually happen with these types of products, not many do that. Plus it's very entertaining!
The code card was white in the Scarlett pack 6:27
That shiftry had me laughing just like it did when you saw it for the first time 😂
i think we are all better off just buying a pack or two
Just not fusion strike
lol 4:34 literally was the same packs I ordered and rev said “oh no” I immediately frowned
7:57 bruh why is someone's username daddy😂😂😂
Loving the videos Rev! Thanks for all you do!!
I like frogs
I like trains 🚂
AND I LOVE NIGEEEEEEEEEE
Who
Same.
I like GYATS
I love that you open Pokémon I love Pokémon to you. Have a good collection I think.
Madness how this still happens !!
Rev opens up such a variety of Pokémon cards always keeping the content fresh!
I can never bring myself to buy anything from Amazon 🙏
Wish I found rev's videos when I started, learnt so much since joining the channel. Love the content and how well he and other tcg youtubers look after the community.
He’s a fire lizard dammit 😂
I have never bought anything that said mystery on the label ever and I’m still shocked that anyone buys this kind of product.
It’s the element of surprise which is dumb. I bought one mystery slab ONCE for 30$ and it was a rayquazza V that’s worth a 1.50
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.
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.
Call them out by name
DON'T LET THE CORRUPT GET AWAY WITH IT!
Lets see what savagery has occured in the lattest episode of, Returning empty boxes to amazon 😂
i also like my own comments
*You also smell your own farts.*
Can't believe they send out things like that in these Amazon openings
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
i love all these exposure videos! good to see all the scams get called out.
Ah, Amazon, the lost father of MJ Holding / Fairfield Company 🤭🤭
Thanks for putting this out Rev, lots of newcomers still buy from Amazon, and it sucks to see them get scammed
Love how informative these videos are
I always love watching these videos, Rev getting "scammed" so that we don't is always entertaining
Mystery products are always nerve-wracking.
Bro whenever I see zoopacks I stop from laughing loloolollol
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!
Amazon really needs to put a stop to this scaming...
Love the Colress's Experiment slab!
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.
its CCG Select Pokerev not CGC
Fun video! Love the mystery pack openings!
The only "Mystery" packs I've seen you open that have been good that from ebay/amazon have been those "Iconic Mystery Boxes".
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
Shiftry Slab...Rev has left the conversation lol
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.
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.
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!! ❤
Let's be clear. Mystery items are always questionable and could contain anything. Not to justify any of this companies or items but going from packs you sell PokeRev packs for 54.99$ you could get boosters in value of 25$...and going by simple math for higher tiers you are always in plus so it does not make sense for most of the people who buy this product. Everbody who sell this kind of producs are to make money..more or less. You are direct and transparent about the odds so kudos to you, but again it does not make sense for most of people to buy this kind of products.
Mystery boxes aren't usually that mysterious. They're pretty much scams.
Your content is literally the best
I love how Blastoise is Charizards weakness
Does anyone know the link to the "whatever that thing is" at the start of the video? Seems interesting
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?
Love when you open these products to spread awareness of how scammy these really are!
I love graded cards! The itch can be overwhelming!
Appreciate you always taking the hit on these and cursing a lot of our curiosity 😂
Thank you for investigating possible scams for the community 🎉
So informative!!! Love open and honest reviews 😊
100% agree rev, nowadays all these mystery boxes are simply a cash grab. Value only 25-50% at best of sell price is nuts. Thx for the content!
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?
Heyo! I found your channel recently and have really enjoyed watching your videos!
i wonder if theres ever anything worth it in these things lmao
Dude these are the best of videos
That bought falinks was probably the company(zoo packs) buying it. That plus the pack and pikachu is still $30 profit
Love waking up to a new PokeRev video!
There’s a reason that I don’t like buying things that aren’t sold directly but Amazon.
This is so awesome I been watching sense your second video
No way I win!!!!!! I'm such a loser
Anyone ever wonder how much POKEREV can bench press????
Let’s go!!!!!!!!!
Would love if you highlighted other companies that do a good job making excellent mystery products
I mean that's the point of "mystery". It's basically the same as a lottery. The floor is gonna be super bad, the chase is gonna be super hard to get. And then the average cards are just gonna be meh. It's a way to market products and make money for the business owner. This doesn't even just apply to cards but it applies to many other things like blind box toys, sealed Pokemon TCG packs. I do agree that most of them are kinda "scammy" because the price for it doesn't justify the floor. The better mystery products are ones that the floor isn't too far away. Just remember nothing is too good to be true in life before you buy something. And unless you're willing to gamble and ok with the floor, then don't buy it. Also not everyone reviews products so it's hard to get a completely good idea of the pull rates of these products.
I do enjoy your videos and the fact that you'd get these and open it so people will have some idea of what's inside them before they buy. Appreciate that.
Thanks for always being the go too channel for collectors
Can never understand why people do this, just be nice and don't scam people
Loving your contents. Makes me reminiscing my childhood playing the The PCG with my mates.
Always enjoy watching these
No
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.
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...🙏
Crobat is extremely way too underused. He can destroy any team that is unprepared.
There is nothing I hate more than scammers. Every mystery pack company out there are scammers. No exceptions.
Thank you again for buying all this nonsense so we don't have to lmao
Thanks for taking the hit on these to expose the scams.
Dont buy mystery boxes
Glad rev puts himself out there for us
So cool that you do this. It really helps me feel better about avoiding amazon all together for tcg
They are always a gamble. I don’t buy them unless I’m mentally prepared to loose my money 😂😂😂
Thanks again for the info on the amazon mystery cards. I might just stick with your pokerev packs and also the mj holdings packs
Love these, I’ve had decent luck on Amazon but my buddy keeps getting scammed lol
Thanks for always giving us your honest reviews on these mystery packs! Definitely not buying any mystery packs on amazon for me lol
As much as I hate them, I love watching the mystery box vids
Thanks or the content. Getting back into collecting with my 5 y.o. son and knowing the do's and don't helps a TON. Keep up the good work.
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
I've never even thought to by pokemon from Amazon, now I know.... haha
thanks for doing these reviews! they really help me make better choices
Amazon sucks l love your collection
