Interestingly enough, years back there were uncut feed sheets which had hundreds of the same card in a very large sheet. They were fully printed etc just needed to be cut at the borders. I remember thinking if someone ever buys these and has a professional cut them out properly they would be rich. I'd be willing to bet this person (and presumably their father) bought those stock sheets and did just that. From watching the videos I propose that for two reasons. 1. Pokerev mentioned the obviousness of the ratio being off between common/uncommons to holo rares. While this is true a simple explanation could be they realized they werent worth anything and just dumped them once they had their current amount. 2. If you watch carefully when he counts the charizards, you'll notice the left/right centering is almost perfectly identical for about 20 cards, then the pattern changes and the next set of 20 cards are identical etc. This tells us that this cards were cut in the same literal batches (mind you the only way to get that level of precision would be to buy 500 to 1000 booster boxes straight from the factory, and even then you'd have to assume the factory made every box in your order sequentially without filling other orders between, highly improbable). The simplest explanation is often the correct one. They purchased feedstock sheets and cut them, then it sounds like someone advised the guy to say they were sitting in storage (for the serious collectors out there, there's a reason you don't come out and say oh I bought 100 charizards on a stock sheet and cut them). The reason you don't do that is because from a collectible standpoint those cards could be considered fraudulently produced. If the factory didn't create the finished individual card product [yes even if finishing the produ t is as simple as cutting a small yellow square] then it could be argued those are a different class of charizard and placed into a seperate collectible category and thus valued differently. For those that have never seen one before, here's a link to a google image of an uncut holographic machamp uncut stock sheet: images.app.goo.gl/ivNbQJJgZrkYRwJ97 It's worth mentioning these huge uncut sheets were never priced at the price of one of those cards times the amount of that card on the sheet because they were considered a unique seperate collectible thing.
I worked at a machine operating job this past year, I had to work with nametags made of different material. There was often material exactly like pokemon cards that I would cut with a very simple machine you would put each corner in of the nametag after you've cut them from the rows. For a nicer finish and clean beveled edge you stack them on top of each other (or do one at a time, usually the less is better for a cleaner cut) and push on a pedal. A metal cutter comes down and cuts them precisely. So I know exactly what you mean by the batches of cards being slightly off. You sound pretty spot on from my experience using those machines, it would not be difficult to get access to in a warehouse that makes nametags or a similar business.
@Alex Briggs I wouldn't sell that as a collection, i would quite literally quit my job just to slowly sell them piece by piece. You do not sell this as a lot knowing you would have to give a sizable discount to justify it.

Ican even remeber when i buyed boosters with mom and dad as child... ? Or you can not belive you found the collection? Makes huge difference in logic.
Wow. I also collected Pokemon with just the goal of collecting the 1st generation of 151 cards back in 1999/2000. Once I collected all of them, I lost interest rather quickly and the collection sat in a closet for approximately 5 years until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, LA, where I lived in Lakeview at the time, in 2005. We had approximately 16ft of flood water in our area, only a quarter mile or lesser, away from the levee break. I remember when I went back to see the damage from the storm, I saw a few of my cards stuck in the muddy, sandy sludge that remained in the house after the storm. I was pretty apathetic at the time over losing that collection. Although, as time went on, I realized what I actually lost, since the cards I had were in absolute mint condition, probably close to PSA 9ish. I was only 16 at the time and my attention shifted to girls and sports, amongst other things, naturally. We weren’t wealthy by any means. It took a long time to build that collection through trading and buying cards whenever I could afford it myself since my mom, who was a single mother of three boys, really couldn’t afford to spoil us with nonessential things, although she really tried her best to do so regardless of the hardships it may have caused her at the time. She was very selfless when it came to making her kids happy but needless to say, I was lucky to open a pack or two every couple weeks, maybe even once a month. That year, in 2000, when Christmas rolled around and we got some gift money, I went straight to our local card shop and spent $120 on a gem mint 1st edition Charizard. I remember it like it was yesterday because it was the very last card I needed to complete my set and after the cashier handed that card to me, I shouted, “I caught em all!!” and quite a few kids came up to me, extremely eager to see my binder of cards and attempt to make trades. Those were the days… _Those. Were. The. Days._
Had my cards stolen from my own house party. They were all so neatly organized in my closet it was too easy for someone to sweep them up. These videos make me sad.
@@andyhatman88 Yup supply is now going up and will continue to now that people are digging through their old collection and waiting for PSA to ship back their cards. I'll still buy even if it dips hard ;)
I doubt most of these holos were in a pack to begin with. There are a couple of red flags but the biggest is the fact that none of them are first editions. If you’re collecting cards through various channels you’re going to get your hands on some first editions. To avoid any scandals it would be fine to have a huge collection of UNLIMITED edition cards that wouldn’t affect the value of the first editions that are limited. Someone definitely made their own collection at the factory.
As a non Pokemon collector I know people would be willing to offer over hundreds and thousands of dollars for it, so you can put that $20 back into your life savings
This struck a chord with me. I’m 30 and like many was obsessed with Pokémon. I collected relentlessly and built my ultimate binder with holo base set charizard blastoise and many more. I even got a card once from a tournament that they told me was extremely rare as a prize but I can’t remember what it was 🤔 anyway this collection is in my mum and dads somewhere. They have a garage and loft and as I moved on from my obsession they stored the cards out out the way. I asked my dad in 2020 had he threw them away or given them away and he guaranteed me they are around somewhere because he remembers telling my mum they will be worth money one day but we have no clue where. It’s crazy to think somewhere in that garage or loft sits a lot of money. Il probably cry if and when I’m reunited with them 😂😞 I spent a full day looking through the garage got about half way through all the junk and no luck. Even remember the binder it was red and had charmander on the front 😅 if I ever find them il comment again. Sorry for the essay everyone but when I tell people who don’t get it they just think I’m strange 😂🤷🏻♂️
I LET MY COLLECTION SIT FOR 12+ YEARS AND GOT REUNITED WITH IT WHEN I WAS HELPING MY PARENTS MOVE OUT TO THEIR NEW HOME. DEFINATLITY PICKING UP WHERE I LEFT OFF LOL
When I was a kid I remember I traded almost half a collection that ranged from base set all the way to fossil for a Charizard. The whole block was there for the deal, was the craziest moment as a kid. All these years later and this guy is just casually sifting through stack of 60 plus of them. If my past self saw this back then he would have died lol
seems like an insanely spoiled rich kid who clearly doesnt value a dollar the same way most people do. very jealous. i remember asking my mom for a booster pack down the shore and it was 9$ and she almost lost her mind. that so so so sooooooooooo much money to spend when they were retail prices. its just insane to me
Rev is bringing up good points and also being respectful about it. This person obviously is oblivious to how important it is to not just throw them in the 3 ring binders. I only put doubles into binders and I get the Ultra-Pro binders and also sleeve them and then put them in the binder. He probably scratched all of those cards up by shuffling through them and taking them in and out of binders. Idk it’s sad almost lmao
All those rares not being in protectors is absolutely killing me inside. Dude, every time he rubs them together outside of a protectors drops their value!
“ Take out the trash “ ( booster box ) “ Make your bed “ ( booster box ) “ Clean the kitchen” ( booster box ) “ Put your toys away “ ( booster box ) “ Turn up the tv “( booster box ) Rev you got me dead 💀
@@MICHAEL24AZ He obviously didn't know how rare they'd become, nor did he consider the fact simply leaving them tucked in a box would fold them. Besides, they're literally just fucking printed on paper cards, and you act as if it's life or death. Grow up, you pathetic child.
@@MICHAEL24AZ Seriously, what the fuck is wrong mentally?! Your other comment says you want to beat the shit out of the guy over fucking POKÉMON CARDS. Once again, *PATHETIC*.
and the fact that he would be willing to slide them over each other like that. even as a 10 year old you knew sliding them scratched the holofoil really, really bad. even if you didnt care about your collection enough to put them in sleeves you would at least be careful to not scratch them all up.
Mom or Dad was either a multimillionaire who made up for working 90 hour weeks by buying him whatever he wanted, or something sus is going on as others have guessed. I don't think the foil/non-foil argument holds much weight tho. If you have 111 foil Charizards you probably give away or trade non-foils without any hesitation.
This looks like a card show dealers set. The way the binders were laid out with only holos or rares was for people to flip through the books and purchase from there. Its also why he has so much sealed stuff. Back then every card show had at least a couple pokemon booths all with stacks of holos.
You can tell someone here has insecurity problems because they never got everything they want, so they have to call others spoiled because of jealousy, thats exactly what it is
At least we know this collection won't affect the prices of PSA 10s seeing as he definitely made sure to bring every potential PSA 10 down a grade lmao
@@BlueFlash215 Yeah, and they will. Go check his video and you can get a better look of the cards' condition up close. There are many many 10s in the Charizard stack for sure. Most of his cards had very good centering and the back had little whitening if any. It's amazing. If he sends all 111 Zards for grading, I reckon he will get back at least 20 back in PSA10 and that is conservative.
Yeah, doesn’t add up. Anybody that calls themselves “Pokemans Alex” wouldn’t handle mint vintage cards like that unsleeved. Even the most casual collector knows not to do that.
How do you forget you have over 100 charizards in storage? If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. My guess is he bought all these years ago from a collector when the market wasn't as high. Maybe his parents bought and sold cards at one point and got out of the business. Doesn't add up.
Don't worry bro in his first video he puts worthless cards in sleeves lol. And top comment is someone mentioning that in that video he says he never opened a charzard
@@SuperiorPayload Yeah he just suddenly forgot he opend 10,000's of packs and spent 1000's on packs, in video he's like "Isn't this crazy?! wow so many" like... he would know lol it's all fishy but they do seem real idk
Yea, he bought them all online when they were a bit cheaper. The ratios don't even make sense for pack pulls, but he didn't think about that when making the video.
I have a little more background with these types. Parents worked corporate for Pokémon back during war with America with Pokémon printing. Probably 1995-2001 was peak of their card and manufacturing war. The parent or parents were given these through prototype phase before the card cost $75 inside a store back in 1997-1999. The collection if graded, average $12 million.
Something doesn't add up here. To get that many cards you'd be opening tens of thousands of packs. And like rev says, the holo to common ratio is way off. You just don't get that many cards and "forget" about them. Dad must have worked at a warehouse that used to store this stuff and picked up a ton when they were clearing space and now they're pretending to have discovered them for content.
I mean they wouldn’t have just opened the cards just now and not got them psa graded. U can see the bends in many of the cards to showing they were used before
I as a kid usually didnt put the non holos in binders. When you have like 20 non holo cubones then you kinda toss em since you could never trade them for anything back in the day when everyone also had a million non holos.
I'd almost say I wouldn't be surprised if they were attached to someone who owned a TCG/Hobby store and they were pocketing all the original weighed packs and selling the ones that didn't meet the weight categories as single booster packs. Hence why there was a huge Holos to non-holos ratio that was confusing.
Even if you had a 2 holos per pack. The stack wouldn't look like that. It seems like the non holos were likely trashed instead of being put into binders
@@underworldclassicz3857 personally I wouldn't ever spend money on a single pack. Booster boxes or displays only. That goes for Pokemon, yu-gi-oh!, digimon, dbs, etc.
@@deedos Of course it matters. A PSA 10 not 1st ed zards were seen going for like 30k. A PSA 9 maybe 5k? and so on. Condition affects prices a lot. So you basically trying to say getting multiple 100ks worth and maybe around 5-10 mil doesnt matter? Unless the guy is a spoiled multi-millionaire hes card-handling can only be described as ignorant.
Little add on. The more cards he has the more it matters actually. If well maintained he and his family would possibly be able to retire and enjoy life.
@@4purs I know what you're saying but my family was considered "poor" and I had several base set charizards (2 1st Ed) as well as every single base set, jungle, fossil and Neo card. Yes I was a freak when it comes to collecting and yes I got robbed several times and no longer have any past a Zapdos and ancient Mew.
Until a logical explanation on how these were acquired comes to light I don't believe it. This is definitely not from opening packs as a kid. Looks more like someone was grabbing sheets off the assembly line.
The only thing i could think off is that this kid would be a high millionaire/billionaire kid, and the parents spent hundreds of thousands on his pokemon card hobby. still, it doesnt really make sense, to collect so many cards back then it seems weird. I mean as a kid it doesnt really matter if you have 50 or 100 charizards. I always wanted cards from the newest boosterpacks. Why does he not have any newer cards but only baseset? It really seems like this collection has to do with wizards of the coast production.
@@ProkopfDreams Unless this whole pokemon crazy was plained. Think about it. Imagine if you had the money for anything right. Something nostalgic. You stock up like crazy. Once the craze hits because you decided to reach out to people to make it a whole market and boom you become even richer. People have been doing this forever. As soon as I heard about pokemon coming back like this I immediately knew it was sus. I mean come on Logan Paul went hard for like a few months not even a year and now he just said he's done buying cards. So very sus he literally just created a massive market in a few months.
@@ProkopfDreams because hes not a zoomer... base sets came out 2 decades ago, new regions and sets did not come out every month... just believe what you see until it is proved otherwise. even if they are from the assembly line they still worth 10k + a zard.
The only thing I could think of is that someone in his family works for the factory itself(if you guys didnt know people that works in factory that have a high status most likely can horde this stuff for their children and what not.) And he probably habe more of this or just didn't care at all because he is filthy rich.
I've said this so many times to so many people. The Unlimited packs were so easy to get. My wife and I bought 9 sidekicks from 3 different Wal-Mart when these cards came out. It was over 2000 packs we opened. We made full collections of them and sold them at a local flea market over a few weekends with cases and cases of Beanie Babies.
This guy is friends with the owner of my local card shop. Apparently the guys dad either owned or worked in where they produced/distributed these cards when they made the 4th print (UK print) of the base set.
Very likely that some will be 10s either way but not many as when they opened them they were kids and as he said some are bent and such. Maybe 1-5 percent could end up 10s and others 6-9s~
Bro I remember specifically my dad taking me to every 7-11 and walgreens in like 5 mile radius of my house, and all the pokemon boosters being sold out.
I have one binder from my middle school days with maybe 10 holographs total. My folks bought me 60 bucks of Pokémon stuff and that was it. I had to hustle to get the few nice cards I had. I recently opened up that binder and it's all junk no one wants lol.
People jeep commenting this, it is very interesting. So how does that happen though. Somebody left the factory in 1999 with uncut sheets of charizards and blaustoise ? If so why not actually cut them at factory sonits not so obvious smuggling it out? I'm just asking, generally curious! For the record I dont believe this dude for a second. Funny how his holo card stacks are like exactly the same height, but then his common cards are low stacks and medium high, like you would expect beings its all RNG.. I'm baffled either way...
There are a lot of mixed emotions on this situation but I look at it as a win for the pokemon community. Think about how many cards have been lost over the years. Sure it's not great for value and rarity but for those of us who just love the game & love collecting our childhood cards these are a blessing because there's more supply to meet the ever growing demand (assuming he's going to get rid of them). Sorry for investing collectors, but huge win for passionate nostalgic collectors
"how does he have so many holo's and so few common" that's the way we did it in the UK back in the day, open packs keep holo's sell or trade common base sets to get more holo's, uncommon & rare
Ummm , not on his make believe scale . His story is completely made up to cover the highly depreciated value of these cards . As another commentor states , these cards have identical cuts (centering etc . ) indicating they all originated from one stock roll . Unknown to myself , this apparently used to happen . These rolls were left intact and sold by printing company. As a post cut , they are nowhere nearly worth what an authorized released finished card is . Technically , these rolls are approved to have by the company, but cutting these cards from the roll and passing them off as original , constitutes counterfeiting product. My personal thought is he's part of a group who buys huge volumes of booster box pallets , opens and then weighs packs individually.
Interestingly enough, years back there were uncut feed sheets which had hundreds of the same card in a very large sheet. They were fully printed etc just needed to be cut at the borders. I remember thinking if someone ever buys these and has a professional cut them out properly they would be rich.

U can not belive how u forgot that you opend as child over thousand packs? Wtf bro? How the fk you supposed to forget that. Ican even remeber when i buyed boosters with mom and dad as child... ?
Or you can not belive you found the collection?
Makes huge difference in logic.

Wow. I also collected Pokemon with just the goal of collecting the 1st generation of 151 cards back in 1999/2000. Once I collected all of them, I lost interest rather quickly and the collection sat in a closet for approximately 5 years until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, LA, where I lived in Lakeview at the time, in 2005. We had approximately 16ft of flood water in our area, only a quarter mile or lesser, away from the levee break.
I remember when I went back to see the damage from the storm, I saw a few of my cards stuck in the muddy, sandy sludge that remained in the house after the storm. I was pretty apathetic at the time over losing that collection. Although, as time went on, I realized what I actually lost, since the cards I had were in absolute mint condition, probably close to PSA 9ish.
I was only 16 at the time and my attention shifted to girls and sports, amongst other things, naturally. We weren’t wealthy by any means. It took a long time to build that collection through trading and buying cards whenever I could afford it myself since my mom, who was a single mother of three boys, really couldn’t afford to spoil us with nonessential things, although she really tried her best to do so regardless of the hardships it may have caused her at the time. She was very selfless when it came to making her kids happy but needless to say, I was lucky to open a pack or two every couple weeks, maybe even once a month.
That year, in 2000, when Christmas rolled around and we got some gift money, I went straight to our local card shop and spent $120 on a gem mint 1st edition Charizard. I remember it like it was yesterday because it was the very last card I needed to complete my set and after the cashier handed that card to me, I shouted, “I caught em all!!” and quite a few kids came up to me, extremely eager to see my binder of cards and attempt to make trades.
Those were the days…
_Those. Were. The. Days._
Now I go to parties and stand in the corner thinking to myself, *“None of them know that I* _caught em all_ *back in 1999/2000.”*
Im not crying, a charizard card got into my eye
Had my cards stolen from my own house party. They were all so neatly organized in my closet it was too easy for someone to sweep them up. These videos make me sad.
What a beautiful story

Haha how will you be paying sir charizards
I doubt most of these holos were in a pack to begin with. There are a couple of red flags but the biggest is the fact that none of them are first editions. If you’re collecting cards through various channels you’re going to get your hands on some first editions. To avoid any scandals it would be fine to have a huge collection of UNLIMITED edition cards that wouldn’t affect the value of the first editions that are limited. Someone definitely made their own collection at the factory.
I said it was suspect as well when I noticed he didn't have many first edition
Seems legit: 8 Diglets and 111 Charizards. The correct ratio, I'm sure.
Of course he kept every single diglet he found back then because they were so special and rare
@@davidsuskopf6996 hahaha
This guy had a 3 non-hollow per box ratio

As a non Pokemon collector I know people would be willing to offer over hundreds and thousands of dollars for it, so you can put that $20 back into your life savings
This struck a chord with me. I’m 30 and like many was obsessed with Pokémon. I collected relentlessly and built my ultimate binder with holo base set charizard blastoise and many more. I even got a card once from a tournament that they told me was extremely rare as a prize but I can’t remember what it was 🤔 anyway this collection is in my mum and dads somewhere. They have a garage and loft and as I moved on from my obsession they stored the cards out out the way. I asked my dad in 2020 had he threw them away or given them away and he guaranteed me they are around somewhere because he remembers telling my mum they will be worth money one day but we have no clue where. It’s crazy to think somewhere in that garage or loft sits a lot of money. Il probably cry if and when I’m reunited with them 😂😞 I spent a full day looking through the garage got about half way through all the junk and no luck. Even remember the binder it was red and had charmander on the front 😅 if I ever find them il comment again. Sorry for the essay everyone but when I tell people who don’t get it they just think I’m strange 😂🤷🏻♂️

When I was a kid I remember I traded almost half a collection that ranged from base set all the way to fossil for a Charizard. The whole block was there for the deal, was the craziest moment as a kid. All these years later and this guy is just casually sifting through stack of 60 plus of them. If my past self saw this back then he would have died lol
seems like an insanely spoiled rich kid who clearly doesnt value a dollar the same way most people do. very jealous. i remember asking my mom for a booster pack down the shore and it was 9$ and she almost lost her mind. that so so so sooooooooooo much money to spend when they were retail prices. its just insane to me
Rev is bringing up good points and also being respectful about it. This person obviously is oblivious to how important it is to not just throw them in the 3 ring binders. I only put doubles into binders and I get the Ultra-Pro binders and also sleeve them and then put them in the binder. He probably scratched all of those cards up by shuffling through them and taking them in and out of binders. Idk it’s sad almost lmao

I don't know, having THAT many of each holo as a kid is just so unlikely! I'm having a very hard time believing this...
and the fact that he would be willing to slide them over each other like that. even as a 10 year old you knew sliding them scratched the holofoil really, really bad. even if you didnt care about your collection enough to put them in sleeves you would at least be careful to not scratch them all up.
Mom or Dad was either a multimillionaire who made up for working 90 hour weeks by buying him whatever he wanted, or something sus is going on as others have guessed. I don't think the foil/non-foil argument holds much weight tho. If you have 111 foil Charizards you probably give away or trade non-foils without any hesitation.

This looks like a card show dealers set. The way the binders were laid out with only holos or rares was for people to flip through the books and purchase from there. Its also why he has so much sealed stuff.
Back then every card show had at least a couple pokemon booths all with stacks of holos.
This guy is an actual time traveler, I'm convinced.
That's the only thing I've read in the comment's that makes sense 😂

@@BlueFlash215 Yeah, and they will. Go check his video and you can get a better look of the cards' condition up close. There are many many 10s in the Charizard stack for sure. Most of his cards had very good centering and the back had little whitening if any. It's amazing.

How do you forget you have over 100 charizards in storage? If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. My guess is he bought all these years ago from a collector when the market wasn't as high. Maybe his parents bought and sold cards at one point and got out of the business. Doesn't add up.

Plot twist: he's Prof. Oak and these are the pokemon we send to him, they ended up in his binders
How does an avid collector forget about their priceless collection, seems oddly suspicious.
Yea, he bought them all online when they were a bit cheaper. The ratios don't even make sense for pack pulls, but he didn't think about that when making the video.
When you're that rich you don't give a fuck about some cardboard you got as a kid.
@QR They're sheets that were cut later I think
@QR Doubt they look this good
@QR I've been collecting for 16 years. Those are NOT fake.
I have a little more background with these types. Parents worked corporate for Pokémon back during war with America with Pokémon printing. Probably 1995-2001 was peak of their card and manufacturing war. The parent or parents were given these through prototype phase before the card cost $75 inside a store back in 1997-1999. The collection if graded, average $12 million.

11:15 he has a point all the hollow stacks are pretty even, thats odd
I dont think any of the foils were short prints so it accutually should be close and the piles all bein +/-10 makes sence
Something doesn't add up here. To get that many cards you'd be opening tens of thousands of packs. And like rev says, the holo to common ratio is way off. You just don't get that many cards and "forget" about them. Dad must have worked at a warehouse that used to store this stuff and picked up a ton when they were clearing space and now they're pretending to have discovered them for content.
I mean they wouldn’t have just opened the cards just now and not got them psa graded. U can see the bends in many of the cards to showing they were used before
I agree that it's weird, but I assume they just got rid of the bulk? I mean they have to have had a tonnnnnnnn
they're filthy rich and don't care about losing thousands of dollars ruining the cards
they're probably from very rich families
Weird why is no one discussing this
I as a kid usually didnt put the non holos in binders. When you have like 20 non holo cubones then you kinda toss em since you could never trade them for anything back in the day when everyone also had a million non holos.
One of the worst days of my life was like 2 years ago when I found my beloved collection in storage, only to find all my holos got cleaned out 😢😭
The fact that this cards are not sleeved kinda pisses me Off😂
I'd do so much for just each one of those holos.
Aweeee poor baby
When you have 100 holo Charizards you’re legally required to shuffle a deck of mint condition cards like a super villain
Throw em in the water like Weevil
When you have 100 Holo Charizards you are a super villain
I'd almost say I wouldn't be surprised if they were attached to someone who owned a TCG/Hobby store and they were pocketing all the original weighed packs and selling the ones that didn't meet the weight categories as single booster packs. Hence why there was a huge Holos to non-holos ratio that was confusing.
came here to say this, glad I'm not the only one.
Notoriously easy to weigh packs for Pokemon cards for base set
Even if you had a 2 holos per pack. The stack wouldn't look like that.

@@deedos Of course it matters. A PSA 10 not 1st ed zards were seen going for like 30k. A PSA 9 maybe 5k? and so on. Condition affects prices a lot. So you basically trying to say getting multiple 100ks worth and maybe around 5-10 mil doesnt matter? Unless the guy is a spoiled multi-millionaire hes card-handling can only be described as ignorant.
Little add on. The more cards he has the more it matters actually. If well maintained he and his family would possibly be able to retire and enjoy life.
Marco Petersen if his family was rich enough to buy him enough booster boxes to get 2k Holos as a kid I think his family is fine lmao
@@4purs I know what you're saying but my family was considered "poor" and I had several base set charizards (2 1st Ed) as well as every single base set, jungle, fossil and Neo card. Yes I was a freak when it comes to collecting and yes I got robbed several times and no longer have any past a Zapdos and ancient Mew.
He did at least 200k of damage sorting and scratching
Until a logical explanation on how these were acquired comes to light I don't believe it. This is definitely not from opening packs as a kid.
Looks more like someone was grabbing sheets off the assembly line.
The only thing i could think off is that this kid would be a high millionaire/billionaire kid, and the parents spent hundreds of thousands on his pokemon card hobby. still, it doesnt really make sense, to collect so many cards back then it seems weird. I mean as a kid it doesnt really matter if you have 50 or 100 charizards. I always wanted cards from the newest boosterpacks. Why does he not have any newer cards but only baseset? It really seems like this collection has to do with wizards of the coast production.
@@ProkopfDreams Unless this whole pokemon crazy was plained. Think about it. Imagine if you had the money for anything right. Something nostalgic. You stock up like crazy.

As soon as I heard about pokemon coming back like this I immediately knew it was sus.

And he probably habe more of this or just didn't care at all because he is filthy rich.
The reason it was hard for us to pull a charizard as a kid was cuz this guy had them all 😂
I've said this so many times to so many people. The Unlimited packs were so easy to get. My wife and I bought 9 sidekicks from 3 different Wal-Mart when these cards came out. It was over 2000 packs we opened. We made full collections of them and sold them at a local flea market over a few weekends with cases and cases of Beanie Babies.

People jeep commenting this, it is very interesting. So how does that happen though. Somebody left the factory in 1999 with uncut sheets of charizards and blaustoise ? If so why not actually cut them at factory sonits not so obvious smuggling it out? I'm just asking, generally curious! For the record I dont believe this dude for a second. Funny how his holo card stacks are like exactly the same height, but then his common cards are low stacks and medium high, like you would expect beings its all RNG.. I'm baffled either way...
I want poke rev to resist this situation knowing about the sheets of uncut cards possibility and see what he says about it, think he would agree?
What when he was 10 years old na man he probably had Hella brothers and was spoiled
Common sheet size is 28x40 you need trims for bleeds between them. A sheet prolly has 60
People don’t realize what “unlimited” in unlimited base set means 😅
i guess so
There's no way this guy spent so much time opening packs and putting them in binders and then "forgot" about them...
There are a lot of mixed emotions on this situation but I look at it as a win for the pokemon community. Think about how many cards have been lost over the years. Sure it's not great for value and rarity but for those of us who just love the game & love collecting our childhood cards these are a blessing because there's more supply to meet the ever growing demand (assuming he's going to get rid of them). Sorry for investing collectors, but huge win for passionate nostalgic collectors
Did you see the Pokemon TCG announcement today?
"how does he have so many holo's and so few common" that's the way we did it in the UK back in the day, open packs keep holo's sell or trade common base sets to get more holo's, uncommon & rare
Ummm , not on his make believe scale . His story is completely made up to cover the highly depreciated value of these cards . As another commentor states , these cards have identical cuts (centering etc . ) indicating they all originated from one stock roll . Unknown to myself , this apparently used to happen . These rolls were left intact and sold by printing company. As a post cut , they are nowhere nearly worth what an authorized released finished card is . Technically , these rolls are approved to have by the company, but cutting these cards from the roll and passing them off as original , constitutes counterfeiting product.
My personal thought is he's part of a group who buys huge volumes of booster box pallets , opens and then weighs packs individually.
I came from a poor house hold but getting one pack a week was more than enough for me i thank my parents for that
nice one, hope u got some nice cards! my parents through mine away last year..
I cant watch this guy slide these Halos across each other when going through the stacks!!! o.O
