I love TAG slabs. Scan the code and see detailed scans of the card. If it has damage, it will show you where it is on the card. I think that should be standard. That way, you know you didn't get screwed over by a person having a bad day.
I would definitely agree for sure. These are far from the worst. I did like the slabs and raw cards that were inside. It was just the pack selection really that disappointed me.
Will never complain about snagging a vintage card. Yeah, I don't like the look of the slabs either. I like the mystery of revealing the grade and the card like we do in our grade reveals. I have no idea what the value of these are. Since they're a relatively new company, there's not a whole lot of sales data on most of these slabs we pulled.
I was FLOORED by the crazy stuff we were pulling out of those Japanese packs. I've never been that lucky with Japanese sets. Great way to start it off!
I would of just kept the packs sealed, and sold the packs to get some funds to get the lose singles graded! The amount of money that you would of made form every pack would be wroth more then the cards you pulled. But what do I know I'm not a collector. I just make money selling the cards, I like profit!
You do raise an excellent point. I'm a pack-ripping degenerate though. I can't help but open everything that comes my way. LOL! Still definitely getting some cards graded though, but you raise a great point as far as profit is concerned.
Cheers for video the graded slabs were awesome all 10s some lovely looking cards hopefully some nice ones for grading hopefully hit some bangers here on the packs good luck 🤞
Yeah, I just liked the artworks personally. Would've rather them be English illustration rares, but what can you do. lol. I'm SO glad that the packs were as loaded as they were though! Saved us from what would've otherwise been a very lackluster opening. LOL!
I definitely agree with you on that. I should've tried these out when they were still using PSA, BGS, and CGC for their slabs. I really don't like the presentation of the TAG slabs and the value is definitely underwhelming.
The reason they spam so many Japanese slabs and packs is cuz it’s a lot cheaper thus allowing them to max their profit margins. Basically these are easily the worst mystery boxes cuz they aren’t even giving you a chance of at least only getting English cards and grades slabs
Yeah, that's true. Japanese are super cheap compared to English and Poke-Collect's products, unfortunately, show that fact as the English cards and packs are more rare to find than the Japanese most of the time. Disappointing.
Yeah, I found that out after the opening when I was researching which cards to grade. lol. First time I had seen that card in any language, but it's a beautiful hyper rare for sure.
Hey Phil have you heard about the guy who used a CT scanning machine and other tools to scan Pokemon packs and see what holos if any were inside? He had a jungle and a fossil pack both valued at 249.99 and was able to deduce that in the jungle pack was a pinsir holo, and the fossil was a gengar holo. Its a few months old by now, but still crazy nonetheless
Yes, I've heard of the new scanning technology. Haven't really looked into it for myself. It's a great way for people to throw in light packs in their products which I'm not a fan of, in all honesty.
@@PokeHunterPhil it's horrible for the market and community as a whole and I hope it doesn't catch on, thankfully it's NOT CHEAP but there are a lot of people with fuck you money who I'm CERTAIN would use it in a heartbeat to get an edge on people who don't have access 😭 oh what a world
@@alexhuerta6164 Yeah, I don't know why people have to create "shortcuts" like this and ruin the experience of opening packs. The only upside to this technology is for the greedy people that want to guarantee they take the loaded packs off the streets before anyone else can and I want absolutely no part of that. I'll stick with being surprised when I open packs, as it should be.
I know, right? If it weren't for those amazing pulls, this would've been an exercise in futility. lol. The pack selection was just unoriginal and boring with absolutely no variation even though, between the two eras, there's well over 20 different sets to choose from. Disappointing to say the least.
@@I_couldnt_use_ram_as_my_handle It's usually a little over, but that's only because I offer free shipping on all items and free shipping insurance for orders $100 or more. It's not extreme overcharging and prices are always subject to decrease as I try my best stay within current market value.
The VIP Box is their most popular product according to them. Keep trying! It seems when they're products go out of stock, it takes a long while to be restocked. Some of their products have been out of stock for months. lol
Not a bad video at all! But there was just a touch too much complaining about the packs. Don't blame you for being upset, but hearing about it consistently took away a bit from the enjoyment of the experience. Believe me. I don't blame you for being upset. But mentioning it 1-3 times at most would have made this a bit more enjoyable. (Obviously, personal opinion. I don't speak for everybody) You did get some great pulls, though!
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, I do realize after the fact that I dwelt on it far too much. I usually don't complain on my channel even if the box is an absolute dud in every respect, but for some reason, it got to me this time around. I'll be sure to watch myself from here on out so that you have a more enjoyable experience the next time around!
@PokeHunterPhil Don't worry, brother. The experience was still good and you came back around! I'm only saying it as a fellow content creator (different platform with a different name. Not trying to steal any spotlight), that we set the mood for the viewers, MOST of the time. The box openings were entertaining. The pack openings ended up being some fantastic pulls. I'm looking forward to seeing more content from you in the future. I try to give constructive, non toxic critism, because I love seeing channels grow. Keep it up, man!
>:>hello, thanks for sharing the video. anyways, do you need a graphic artist to work on your YT logo and banner? update and redesign logo? for a cheap price...
My pleasure! I do not need a graphic artist at this time, but I will keep you in mind should I be needing one in the future. Thank you for reaching out!
They're super hard to find values for, that's for sure. I'm just not a fan of the slabs. I don't think I'd ever personally use TAG. I'll stick with PSA/CGC.
I did, but they were all the old version that still used PSA, CGC, and BGS slabs. There weren't any videos I could find of opening the new TAG version. Figured I'd give it a shot. At least now no one else has to waste money on these because I did it for them. LOL!
@@robertavery5500 My pleasure! I love doing openings like this! It was a brand new experience that I had once and will never have again. LOL! No regrets.
I wouldn't say they're a scam, but I personally didn't think they worth it at that price point regardless. Might be good for the casual collector that's just looking to fill their binder, but that's about it. Very disappointing boxes.
The fact that these are almost $60 is absolutely diabolical with such little value in the boxes, but thank you for taking the hit for us!!
My pleasure! Yeah, for how much I paid per box, definitely not worth it overall. I opened them so you don't have to!
I love TAG slabs. Scan the code and see detailed scans of the card. If it has damage, it will show you where it is on the card. I think that should be standard. That way, you know you didn't get screwed over by a person having a bad day.
Oh, interesting. I was not aware of that. Thanks for the info. That would definitely be super helpful.
Why does the TAG slab say PSA at the bottom? Tag grading and PSA are not sister companies or related in anyway
@@PokeChu0107 The company that sells the mystery boxes used PSA sleeves to put the TAG slabs in.
tag is terrible, theyve graded dented cards a 10 before and have no value in the tcg market
These slabs make the card center stage instead of drawing attention to the label. Awesome! Great pulls! 🔥
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Definitely got some awesome pulls for sure!
Wow, the pulls were amazing. Big fan of Japanese cards over here and the Iron Crown and the Fezandipiti were my personal favorites!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I never have that good of luck with Japanese packs, so that was an awesome way to start off the opening!
I’ve definitely seen a lot worse in mystery boxes
I would definitely agree for sure. These are far from the worst. I did like the slabs and raw cards that were inside. It was just the pack selection really that disappointed me.
Keep up the good work and you should make binder sets so we can see how many you have completed
Thank you! The work continues! I've thought about dabbling in set completion. Good idea for possible future content.
Like the vintage. Not so sure about the clear labels on the slabs. Why are they doing that? Same value as regular graded PSA cards?
Will never complain about snagging a vintage card. Yeah, I don't like the look of the slabs either. I like the mystery of revealing the grade and the card like we do in our grade reveals. I have no idea what the value of these are. Since they're a relatively new company, there's not a whole lot of sales data on most of these slabs we pulled.
Japanese packs were punching well above their weight class here, incredible pulls all around but those took the cake for sure 👌
I was FLOORED by the crazy stuff we were pulling out of those Japanese packs. I've never been that lucky with Japanese sets. Great way to start it off!
Oh wow, amazing hits with the packs! Congrats!
Thanks! The pulls definitely helped!

Japanese art rares are typically considered bulk so its probably not worth it especially at that price. The packs were weirdly loaded though!
Yeah, I just liked the artworks personally. Would've rather them be English illustration rares, but what can you do. lol. I'm SO glad that the packs were as loaded as they were though! Saved us from what would've otherwise been a very lackluster opening. LOL!
It wouldve been so much better if they used PSA for the grading. People dont honor "Tag 10" compared to PSA 10 price points.
I definitely agree with you on that. I should've tried these out when they were still using PSA, BGS, and CGC for their slabs. I really don't like the presentation of the TAG slabs and the value is definitely underwhelming.
damn there were some pretty cards in those pulls! that polywhirl is one of my favorite !!
First time I had seen that Poliwhirl up close. Fantastic artwork!

Incredible! Bro, what a run!
I love doing these marathon openings! They're a staple of the channel for sure.
Great editing!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Charizard ex full art is fire nice pulls man.
Love that card!
The gold card is Earthen Vessel bruh! Probably my (as a player of the tcg) favorite card of the set
Yeah, I found that out after the opening when I was researching which cards to grade. lol. First time I had seen that card in any language, but it's a beautiful hyper rare for sure.

Japanese Gengar is from Dark Phantasma
Oh yeah. That's right. Thanks for clarifying that! I can never get the Japanese sets figured out. lol
Awesome pulls from the packs! 💯
The pulls definitely helped spice things up!
the psa symbol at the bottom of the tags is peelable. i think they make you think its psa but behind psa sticker is tag
Yeah, they use PSA's sleeves to put the slab in.
why do TAG slabs have a PSA logo on the bottom
They don't. They were just put in PSA sleeves.
The pack pulls so gorgeous 😍👌
The pulls definitely redeemed the opening for sure!
Where are theses at?????
Where can I get one
You can buy them at poke-collect.com.
Man, poke collect always makes some low tier, uninspired products but thank goodness those pulls saved you friend 😅
I know, right? If it weren't for those amazing pulls, this would've been an exercise in futility. lol.

Good luck on some magic bro 🤞🤞let’s see some 🔥🔥please
Awesome!
The box was trash but the pull were nice❤❤
I agree, unfortunately. lol. The pulls saved us from what could've been a very lackluster opening.
Lol seeing tag though back is crazy
First time seeing the TAG slabs myself.
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
I kinda wanna buy/trade the Gardevoir/Sylveon from ya, but idk if you do that
It will soon be on my Ebay store actually, so look out in the Community tab for the announcement that the slabs are up for sale.
@@PokeHunterPhil oh nice! Kinda curious but what do you usually do for pricing, over or under charging?

So funny. The packs are so weighed. They might let 1 out of 25 packs with a heavy weight out for videos like this.. lol
Definitely not the greatest mystery boxes for sure.
wow time to splurge! hehe
You know me! Always finding new ways to go broke! LOL!
i love these boxes to bazd there alway's out of stock for us

Thank you!
tag is terrible, theyve graded dented cards a 10 before and have no value in the tcg market
They're super hard to find values for, that's for sure. I'm just not a fan of the slabs. I don't think I'd ever personally use TAG. I'll stick with PSA/CGC.
@PokeHunterPhil they're also incredibly unreliable with grading. Rattlenpokemon has a good video about them grading dented cards
Do you have a voice changer on or is your mic just that crappie?
lol. No voice changer. I apologize that the audio sounded bad.
@@PokeHunterPhilit didnt dw man it was a great video :)
@@AidoStar Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!
Should have watch other people's videos on these before you bought them
I did, but they were all the old version that still used PSA, CGC, and BGS slabs. There weren't any videos I could find of opening the new TAG version. Figured I'd give it a shot. At least now no one else has to waste money on these because I did it for them. LOL!

not good

scam dont buy them
