Celebrations is what brought me back into the hobby and my first opening was the UPC, first pack the gold mew, last pack shiny magikarp. Those two are my top picks outside of the Charizard hitting all of the nostalgia vibes.
My favorite card is the gold star umbreon. It’s the first card I bought in a PSA 10 when I started collecting again as umbreon has always been my favorite pokemon.
You rock man! I was just telling my wife about the time I was trying to get you into that pk, ctr and rattle podcast when all the collecting legends were on. I’m so happy to see your channel grow man! I wish I could be in the poketuber space like all of yall but seeing you, rattle, pk and ctr growing is close enough for me 🎉
The “Birthday Pikachu” because it reminds me of the time when I collected 8 copies of the Japanese version back in 1999 - I still have a sealed copy and another in my Pikachu collection binder
I bought celebrations just two weeks ago on a clearance sale. Three collection chest for 5 a piece. And I pulled the Blastoise, Mew and Umbreon. Umbreon is my favorite. Also all other commons 4/5 times. Still would love to buy the UPC for the metal cards and pull the Charizard / Venusaur to have all three.
Fave card from Celebrations is definitely the Rayquaza EX. I want that Charizard tho, reminds me of the Base Set I got stolen out of my locker in 5th grade :(
Favorite Celebrations card... I think it's a tie between Blastoise and Venusaur because they finally got a reprint of their original base set cards. The most memorable for me was the Mewtwo. It was the last card I needed for my master set. It took FOREVER to pull!!! Hilarious vid, Sean! I come here knowing I'll always get a good laugh.
Great box I agree but you can't get $40 total for the gold Pika and Materball combined let alone each! My favorite Celebrations card is definitely the metal Charizard so much so I have an autographed one! Just love that premium, metal chunky feel! Plus, in a pinch it could be used as a weapon!
My favorite card from Celebrations is Gardevoir ex (Delta Species). When the Delta Species cards were released, it was fun to see Pokemon with different types.
Hands down my favorite celebrations card is the gold star Umbreon. It takes me back to collecting as a kid and I enjoy sharing that kind of stuff with my son when we rip packs together!
"____'s pikachu" is my favorite card, it's like you can draw your name that space and have your pikachu instantly. It's a good feeling for every child and grown up have child soul i think.
My favorite card from the set is in the upc.The metal Charizard. Not because of the value, but it's awesome to bring back a classic and throw a twist on it. Truly awesome.
My favorite card from 25th Celebration is the Umbreon Gold Star, the cheaper and easier version to get because that Pop Series 5 is almost impossible to pull that Umbreon Gold Star.
We were in line to get one when they had a restock. The store only had 2. The guy infront of my son and I bought them both. I never seen such anger mixed with sadness from my kid. Inhad to explain to my son that some people are just asses. The guy infront of us had no care. And the employee was a young kid not knowing any better. That is imprinted in my memory when it comes to Celebrations 😢
Blasty is my favorite card ALWAYS. Blue version was the first Gameboy game I had and Blastoise was the first big hit I pulled from base set as a kid. It's not in great shape now.... but i still have it and it is the centerpiece of my Blasty collection.
I never got to open any celebrations, but I really like the throwback to the birthday Pikachu. I have so much fomo watching all these celebrations UPC openings 🙃
Best cards for us is the Zard and Mew. My son and daughter opened literally 1 Dark Sylveon box each, son pulled Zard, daughter pulled Mew, we never cracked any packs since.
Can't beat that metal Charizard. An ode to the beginning, with a premium feel. Can't beat that OG design, would love to have any version of it! Also, this video was legit entertaining, not so much the cards but you and the editing. 10/10
Cool, little set for what it is.. I would have to say the metal Charizard and Pikachu as i only have the metal Mew 151, and that's not too bad of a card either.. but then again, all of them why, they pokemon...
Favorite is the Mew…but that’s because I simp for Mew/MewTwo. Charizard gold card is 🔥🔥🔥 though…and honestly, flying Pikachu just looks so damn content 😂
We’re in Australia and it was so hard for us to get one of these sealed. We have one, unopened, in our collection. I don’t know how many packs we opened, yet to pull the Zard and Tapulele.
I haven't opened the one I got. In the area where I am they are selling for $610.00. GOLD! I wish it was Friday, but it's Wednesday. Very nice hits. Fav card from celebrations Gold Mew! From the Celebrations Classic Collection I would say Shining Magikarp. Thanks so much!
The three final evolution of the starters are my favorite. The nostalgia from base set with a different foiling make it look exceptionally awesome. Also love the Pikachu as well
Celebrations was the first set I completed and my favorite card is the gold Mew. The shiny is amazing and not a lot of my favorite mons get featured as gold cards you can pull in sets.
Charizard. I still remember pulling one back in the day in the back of my aunts car. A friend stole it one time but quickly gave it back when I asked him about it.
My favorite card from celebrations is and will always be Blastoise. The reason why is because that is my favorite Pokémon and I love the water energy in the back of the holo. 💧
I have only opened 8 packs of Celebrations. Out of those 8, I did not get a single one of those pikas. I hear they are so common, so I'm surprised. In celebrations I love the Reshiram and Zekrom. They are just so sparkly!
Love the full art classic chunky pikachu, that was the first card I remember collecting back in the late 90s and it will always have a special place in my heart and binders.
I just love thé Mewtwo card from celebrations. It's hilarious how you ... Try .... To....speak...while....you're....opening....packs....wait....what did we just say? I don't know anymore😂
literally just opened one of these last night. So much fun! I pulled all three of the big three starters - Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise. The Chairzard had me the most pumped to pull, but I have to say the full Art red cheeks Pikachu is probably my favorite card
My favourite cards are probably actually the Pikachu ones. I know you get about 4 million of them in every pack, but they all look amazing. The surfing and flying V and Vmax, and the full art base set one, they're so good.. Been waiting for these UPC's to go down in price for like 40 (3) years.. guess I'm never gonna get one. Why won't they drop damn it!
I would say that the gold Mew is my most favorite from celebrations, but I have to say that it goes to the shiny Umbreon! It was the first big hit I pulled from my first Celebrations opening when I gotten more into the hobby back in 2021! Plus I'm an Eeveeloution collector (cliche I know) so it was a huge win for me. I honestly feel like it's way undervalued, but I'm sure that even 10 years from now it'll never reach the level of the original gold stars!
Just started collecting when this set came out, unfortunately wasn't able to get the upc, but still got to open up several etb's, favorite card has to be the charizard.
Don’t have a favorite yet. Just now getting back into Pokémon. Started collecting in the 90’s 😂. Back then, it was all about Mewtow, Charizard and of course Pikachu
I have to say my favorite card out of the celebrations set is the Mega Rayquaza EX. The artwork in the card is on point and I love the pink lighting bolt accents. Close second would have to be Charizard which I finally was able to add to complete my celebrations collection. Love the set!
Never managed to find one of these anywhere when they came out. Wish i could've gotten at least one, but congrats on being able to open one! Still nice instant mini collection!!! And obviously it has to be Blastoise as the favorite and then Venusaur and Charizard. Mew, Groudon, Kyogre, Gyarados, Zapdos, and Umbreon are great too.
Gr8 unboxing as always, I hope that xzard would be a 10. My favorite celebrations card is probably the gold star umbreon, because I never opened a pack from ruby, silver and emerald era, so I'd like to pull an artwork like that
The classic collection Venuasaur, that card just takes me back to simpler time of base set. I also see that the budget at the vault is on fleek this past week. Keep it up
My favourite card is the Blastoise holo because it was the first card that I pulled out of a celebrations pack. Have been trying to get back into collecting cards but it is very hard to find products in Australia especially 151.
I will always love the gold mew as my favorite. Was the last card I needed for a master set and was one of those cards that gave me such satisfaction after pulling to finally complete my set.
My favourite card from celebrations is the mew ex card just because mew is so adorable and it takes me back to opening packs when I first started collecting them as a kid and I've only just got back in to collecting them now.
Sean has VaultFever... and the only cure is Textual Healing My favorite card is Round Pikachu, because that's why peak performance looks like and the way Arceus intended to be naturally.
Celebrations is such an amazing set!!! Bringing nostalgia to all. That was the goal. And they nailed it. My favorite card is of course the zard of my childhood. Actually the metal version is my favorite. It’s so beautiful.
The Rayquaza in the classic collection is my favorite in Celebrations bc it's so sick looking. Good luck with your Garage dust, middle earth malaria bronchitis.
I know I'm probably the odd one, but my fave is the Here Comes Team Rocket trainer card. Holds some great childhood memories for me. And Vault, check with your doctor about maybe your allergies messing with you. Thought I was sick with random colds (we both have school age kids so you know what I mean lol) turned out i'm just allergic to the outside lol
I wish I could splurge on one of these suckers. It would be awesome to spike those 10's. As I am new to Pokémon card collecting, I did like the look of that Blastoise pulled, Sparkly.
They did such a good job with this UPC imo. Those metal cards are next level. My fav cele card is the Garchomp cuz I’m a simp for any Garchomp Cynthia combo lol
Celebrations is what brought me back into the hobby and my first opening was the UPC, first pack the gold mew, last pack shiny magikarp. Those two are my top picks outside of the Charizard hitting all of the nostalgia vibes.
It was such a shit set compared to Generations. IDK why you seem happy about it. Lol
I remember when these first came out, PSA halted grading the metal cards for a period of time.
Wait! They grade them again??
My favorite card from celebrations is the Pikachu full art from Fossil. The nostalgia factor of it is the reason why it is my favorite card
I can also say a prove (by my irritated ol lady) i just got back into collecting at 35… im collecting celebrations , evolutions and 151 right now!
The Mew secret rare. One of better looking gold cards IMHO.
My favorite card is the gold star umbreon. It’s the first card I bought in a PSA 10 when I started collecting again as umbreon has always been my favorite pokemon.
My favorite is the full art pikachu, love how they took the old art and expanded it
You rock man! I was just telling my wife about the time I was trying to get you into that pk, ctr and rattle podcast when all the collecting legends were on. I’m so happy to see your channel grow man! I wish I could be in the poketuber space like all of yall but seeing you, rattle, pk and ctr growing is close enough for me 🎉

Celebrations Blastoise. Squirtle has always been one of my favorites
My favourite card from celebrations is the charizard because it’s my favourite Pokémon
My favorite card from Celebrations is Gardevoir ex (Delta Species). When the Delta Species cards were released, it was fun to see Pokemon with different types.
My favorite card from celebrations has to be the zard
Rocket's zapdos, always stood out to me even as a kid, probably my favorite celebrations card
Hands down my favorite celebrations card is the gold star Umbreon. It takes me back to collecting as a kid and I enjoy sharing that kind of stuff with my son when we rip packs together!
"____'s pikachu" is my favorite card, it's like you can draw your name that space and have your pikachu instantly. It's a good feeling for every child and grown up have child soul i think.

I love that Blastoise card. My husband got me into Pokemon and again and I remember Squirtle with sunglasses running around on the show.
I think it's gotta be the Umbreon gold star since it's basically unobtainable in reality outside of celebrations
We were in line to get one when they had a restock. The store only had 2. The guy infront of my son and I bought them both. I never seen such anger mixed with sadness from my kid. Inhad to explain to my son that some people are just asses. The guy infront of us had no care. And the employee was a young kid not knowing any better.

It's the metal pikachu for me. I love the metal cards and that base pikachu is so chonky and derpy. Adorable
Favorite is the Mew…but that’s because I simp for Mew/MewTwo. Charizard gold card is 🔥🔥🔥 though…and honestly, flying Pikachu just looks so damn content 😂
Surfing Pikachu because of the anime 🏄🏄♀️🏄♂️🌊🌊🌊🌊
The Brithday Pikachu is fav cause I still have my ran through the washing machine card from years back
We’re in Australia and it was so hard for us to get one of these sealed. We have one, unopened, in our collection.
I don’t know how many packs we opened, yet to pull the Zard and Tapulele.

it’s the Rayquaza for me, even tho mew is one of my top 3 pokemon… but that Ray art just does somethin to me
The three final evolution of the starters are my favorite. The nostalgia from base set with a different foiling make it look exceptionally awesome. Also love the Pikachu as well
Celebrations Dark Gyarados, very nostalgic card. Gives me memories back I got the pre-release version from toys r us when I was a kid.
Celebrations was the first set I completed and my favorite card is the gold Mew. The shiny is amazing and not a lot of my favorite mons get featured as gold cards you can pull in sets.
Tapu lele was very playable (play it and search your deck for any supporter card). Best celebrations card has got to be the metal zard
Charizard. I still remember pulling one back in the day in the back of my aunts car. A friend stole it one time but quickly gave it back when I asked him about it.
My favorite card from celebrations is and will always be Blastoise. The reason why is because that is my favorite Pokémon and I love the water energy in the back of the holo. 💧
I have only opened 8 packs of Celebrations. Out of those 8, I did not get a single one of those pikas. I hear they are so common, so I'm surprised. In celebrations I love the Reshiram and Zekrom. They are just so sparkly!

I just love thé Mewtwo card from celebrations. It's hilarious how you ... Try .... To....speak...while....you're....opening....packs....wait....what did we just say? I don't know anymore😂
Don't pump it yet, I don't have one!
Too late PokeRev made a video on it 8 days ago too saying "It's too low" and now the price is going up.
My favorite card in celebrations is the Blastoise. Always feels like squirter doesn't get the love, but he's one of my faves!
literally just opened one of these last night. So much fun! I pulled all three of the big three starters - Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise. The Chairzard had me the most pumped to pull, but I have to say the full Art red cheeks Pikachu is probably my favorite card
My favourite cards are probably actually the Pikachu ones. I know you get about 4 million of them in every pack, but they all look amazing.

This is one box i would have liked to get a hold of. Covid sucked for scalping of these things. Got my fav zapdos pretty easy though.
Just started collecting when this set came out, unfortunately wasn't able to get the upc, but still got to open up several etb's, favorite card has to be the charizard.
Don’t have a favorite yet. Just now getting back into Pokémon. Started collecting in the 90’s 😂. Back then, it was all about Mewtow, Charizard and of course Pikachu
Favorite celebrations card has to be the reprint of the OG zard. Was never able to get my hands on the UPC metal version though!
I have to say my favorite card out of the celebrations set is the Mega Rayquaza EX. The artwork in the card is on point and I love the pink lighting bolt accents. Close second would have to be Charizard which I finally was able to add to complete my celebrations collection. Love the set!
I opened SO many Charizard and Dark Sylveon Celebrations boxes and I'm going to go with my best pull as my favorite, the Gold Mew card.
I don’t want to sound generic but I like all the starters in this set. If you can’t afford OG set, you can add these to your collections.
Best card is that Gold Blueberry Mew - b/c its shiny form is the best! Also I love that box! Just got to get one someday.
Never managed to find one of these anywhere when they came out. Wish i could've gotten at least one, but congrats on being able to open one! Still nice instant mini collection!!! And obviously it has to be Blastoise as the favorite and then Venusaur and Charizard. Mew, Groudon, Kyogre, Gyarados, Zapdos, and Umbreon are great too.
Umbreon is my favorite because of the design
i love that dark gyrados, thats one of the cards that brings me back, that team rocket set was one of my favorites as a kid
Umbreon, because obviously.
Or rockets Zapdos, beautiful art.
My son is 6 and he said he likes the gold zard. He would like to know if you will be coming to Chicago collect a can?
Sean loves collecting cans! 😅
lol meant con*
Always gotta go with Celebrations Blastoise. Squirtle and it's evo line are my personal favorites
Favorite card from Celebrations is definitely the gold Mew! So hard to pull and it's one of the only cards with a unique artwork in the set.
Gr8 unboxing as always, I hope that xzard would be a 10.
My favorite celebrations card is probably the gold star umbreon, because I never opened a pack from ruby, silver and emerald era, so I'd like to pull an artwork like that
the charizard ofc , reminds me of the good old school days
Man, I started collecting again when Celebrations came out-should have picked up one of these UPCs while I could
Love the Rocket's Zapdos, big fan of the evil looking pokemon variants
All the remakes of the original base set cards are the best. Nostalgia
The classic collection Venuasaur, that card just takes me back to simpler time of base set.
I also see that the budget at the vault is on fleek this past week. Keep it up
Celebrations will always be nostalgic for me since it got me back into the hobby.
My favourite card is the Blastoise holo because it was the first card that I pulled out of a celebrations pack. Have been trying to get back into collecting cards but it is very hard to find products in Australia especially 151.
I will always love the gold mew as my favorite. Was the last card I needed for a master set and was one of those cards that gave me such satisfaction after pulling to finally complete my set.
My favourite card from celebrations is the mew ex card just because mew is so adorable and it takes me back to opening packs when I first started collecting them as a kid and I've only just got back in to collecting them now.
Those metal cards are sick and whether they are PSA10 or not does not matter :)
My fav is the metal zard because it’s the first time having an official metal card to scale and one of my favorite starters.
Sean has VaultFever... and the only cure is Textual Healing
My favorite card is Round Pikachu, because that's why peak performance looks like and the way Arceus intended to be naturally.
Celebrations helped me come back fully. So cool to see these open since never got my hands on one
That Zard got me into celebrations. Soo nostalgic and I pulled it once, unforgettable.
That metal zard is my favorite, the metal makes it look so nice
Always loved Gyarados. The dark version in this set is awesome.
Probably the umbreon or the dark gyarados. They just brought back so many memories as a kid collecting and playing the game.
Celebrations is such an amazing set!!! Bringing nostalgia to all. That was the goal. And they nailed it. My favorite card is of course the zard of my childhood. Actually the metal version is my favorite. It’s so beautiful.
The Rayquaza in the classic collection is my favorite in Celebrations bc it's so sick looking. Good luck with your Garage dust, middle earth malaria bronchitis.

And Vault, check with your doctor about maybe your allergies messing with you. Thought I was sick with random colds (we both have school age kids so you know what I mean lol) turned out i'm just allergic to the outside lol
Favorite celebrations card is always gonna be the metal og print zard! Pulling a charizard from base as a kid was always the coolest thing!
The UPC is a tough one. Although it doesn’t have a ton of value, I really like the reprint of the base set Venasaur.
That gold star Umbreon just hits different. Definitely my favorite card in the set.
Venusaur is my fav bulbasaur and his evolution line was always my fav from the 1st Gen pokemon
The gen 1 starterters are for sure my favorites. They remind me of my childhood.
Those metal cards look surprisingly good. My 151 UPC metal cards were both terrible.
Just anything from original gen pokemon gets me hyped just because of nostalgia
I don't have a favorite card. Never got the chance to open celebrations.
I wish I could splurge on one of these suckers. It would be awesome to spike those 10's. As I am new to Pokémon card collecting, I did like the look of that Blastoise pulled, Sparkly.
My favorite Celebrations card is the Mega Rauquaza! That artwork hits hard and I love RAY RAY 🐉
They did such a good job with this UPC imo. Those metal cards are next level. My fav cele card is the Garchomp cuz I’m a simp for any Garchomp Cynthia combo lol
I remember when these first came out. My favorite card from celebrations is the Pikachu full art from Fossil.
Just keep assisting in jacking up the prices of UPCs more than they already are! 🤣 love this! I really want those metal cards!
