Just before Christmas 1999, I took a greyhound from Washington to Montana. Unknowingly, my mom had hid a dozen 1st edition fossil packs in my backpack. After we left I found them and opened them on the bus. I pulled a holo Zapdos, Lapras, and Hitmonlee. Best shit ever. lol.
I usually am not the biggest fan of vintage boxes being opened, but I got so hooked on this video, it was so fun and I loved the thrill of it. I can’t wait until we see the grades, they looked like they were in mint or gem mint condition! Great job guys!
i definitely opened a first edition packs when i was kid. my brother and i lived and breathed pokemon and lucky for us mom was willing to give us $20 each to buy 5 booster packs every weekend.
My first ever booster pack that I opened as a young trainer was a fossil and I will never forget pulling a Kabutops holo 11:40, the first in my school. Quick question about ditto 1st gen. Since he mimics the opponents active pokemon, if I had a PSA 10 Gen1 ditto and because of his ability to mimic, could I sell it off as a PSA10 ditto'd 1st Gen Charizard?
"All 1st edition Zapdos holos have a misprint at the top left corner of the artwork which was accidentally designed with a nonholo section where an evolution box would have been for an evolving Pokémon. This misprint was also mass produced for unlimited print and mass produced as a corrected unlimited print." -Google
I didn't even know booster boxes were a thing back then but i def opened some first edition packs when I was a kid...when my mom found a small chunk of my sister and I's old collection, there were some 1st edition cards mixed in. Wish I remembered what happened to the rest of my cards 😂
People save em dude. People went near and far to get first edition boxes when the reality of the pokemon craze was understood and saved them as investments.
The English guy opens the packs puts 3 to the back and then hits the stacks on the table Twice!! Foil Hypno & the 2nd Foil Articuno got a corner tap. and then at 13:30 a hint comment is made about it lol
I was born in 1991 and just after these came out I was so into Pokémon. I remember getting a set like this for my birthday when they were brand new and I had a bunch of hollow. I’m pretty sure I had the hollow Zapdos, aerodactyl, ditto, and more. And every time I would get a duplicate card, I would be pissed. I would give everything I own to have saved those cards and kept them in good condition because I literally have no idea where any of them went. But on the plus side, I still have two huge, binders full of baseball, football common basketball cards that are worth nothing except for a few that I have that are my favorite players, although those are only nostalgic to me and Still worthless.
Yeah, prices don't make sense. When you buy the whole box it's always cheaper to just to just buy a bunch of PSA 9s and get them retouched until you can get a 9.5 or even a 10.
I remember the first 2 fossil packs i bought as a kid. i pulled a Kabutops and Zaptos... i also pulled a Mew at one point and a rainbow energy. I think the rainbow energy is a different pack, though. For the first editions, i lived in Hawaii, and they sold lofs of Japanese cards. I had a Charzard, Blastoise, Mewtwo, and all the big boys. Sadly, i think my mom gave my cards away as a teenager... or threw rhem away... oh well shit happens. I doubt any of them would've been PSA 10s. But my collection was easily worth 10k.... and it would be nice to go through them...
Really cool video awesome to see full appreciation watched to the end… I really just gotta say it tho man it’s bothered me whole video it’s OMA STAR and OMA NYTE not omna. please bro I can get past just different pronunciations but that’s just incorrect
I have Graded Russian Charizards, and Entei, Venusaur etc... They are no longer made in Russia because of them attacking Ukraine, and never will be made in Russian language again! What do you think they might be worth. The ones I have are either 1 in existence, or 2 in Charizards case!
They were made to be opened. Some things just aren’t made to sit around forever collecting dust. At least so many openings have been documented and we know every set list and rarity so we can assess the cards as they float around from owner to owner.

W mom story. She knew the good shit.
Good sh*t man, I get you
I always love seeing older boxes getting opened
Me too, my favorite!
@@runnerwatch2280uu
i love to see them sealed in a acryl case that cant be opened ever.
I like cougars too
As a person who has opened up around 4 1st Edition Fossil boxes. oooof that box was rough. No Dragonite, Lapras or Gengar Holos.
that was really rough considering that box alone cost a fortune. not worth but the vid made some numbers though
😂 that mispronunciation of Omanyte sticking with me for a while
Omnamight ol
Omnastar for his pronunciation too...
Fossil is such an iconic set. It's always fun to open.
$15k box and the top card is worth $800?
That must have been a mistake by the editor Im pretty sure the Japanese goes for near $800 but the first edition english holo goes for over $5k
I had a complete set of 1st edition Fossil. It appears I should have just kept the booster box sealed instead... 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@JayJay-sc1tcyes just gengar holo is like 3k and dragonite holo is like 4500 in psa 10s
@@All1My1Little1Words1gengar goes for significantly less
That’s speculative asset prices baby. Bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.
What a fun video! Takes me back to being 9-10 and my dad would buy me fossil and jungle packs 😊

Nothing like getting into some vintage Pokemon, let alone Fossil.
You are so lucky to get your hands on them.
Great pulls.
Nice video Ando! I love the fossil set
I miss collecting Pokémon cards. I told myself i wasn’t gonna get Pokemon for a while but now i wanna collect again but with a better mindset.
go for it mane
I restarted collecting with my son. Now we have a collection worth over 50ks
Not to rub it in, but my 1st Edition Dragonite holo is one of the only cards I won't sell. Gorgeous card that deserves the hype.
I got one from a family member for a regular rare dragonite from a later set that was worth like 0.53$. Had to be my best deal yet
I’m just surprised there are this many unopened boxes floating around
How’s the box 13000 when the best pull gem mint is 800…
It’s always spicy with Poke-Collect. I love the collab videos ❤
All those Haunters for how haunted this box was man.. that was a little hard to watch lol
Hey leaf ! I use to watch your videos years ago and am happy to see you still posting with positivity and love for what you do. Keep it up ! 💯
This is so cool, as I do enjoy seeing the older sets and while I do wish I could open up a pack from it, it was just nice seeing you open it up.
i definitely opened a first edition packs when i was kid. my brother and i lived and breathed pokemon and lucky for us mom was willing to give us $20 each to buy 5 booster packs every weekend.
i dont get how this doesnt have more views i love your vids man. even though im 18

Have a blessed Wednesday! TG checking in 👍
"and they look real" 😂
just watched the intro and caught exactly that lol.. ran to comments hahaha
“and they look rea- and the cards look fantastic”
bro tried to correct himself in order not to expose their fake box opening lol
Super awesome video! Im so curious now to what rating they got after grading them. Because the cards looked like they were in really good condition.
Why would anyone buy a box for 15k hoping for a 800$ card if it were a PSA 10 ?
so much memories see vintage 😥 pokemon is one of few joy left pokemon is life i wouldet could go on without u
love the old school.. shame its mad expensive
It amazes me to see full grown adults get into childhood hobbies! Great pulls!
No-matter what anyone says ! OLD Pokemon is always gonna be the best ! MORE, pleez !
This is a set Pokémon should do a reprint like they did with base set turning it into evolutions.
The old boxes are by far the best
My sister opened one of these 3-4 years ago. Man what a mistake
Good vid nice pulls 🎉
That uncutt is awsome
I remember opening these as a kid! I wish i didnt!! 😅😂😂
I woulda sold the light packs :x
this why u bop
Fossil is always a banger
For the Zapdos error in the corner that Ando mentioned, does anyone know what he means by that as my Zapdos has some weird thing in the corner?
"All 1st edition Zapdos holos have a misprint at the top left corner of the artwork which was accidentally designed with a nonholo section where an evolution box would have been for an evolving Pokémon. This misprint was also mass produced for unlimited print and mass produced as a corrected unlimited print." -Google

We would have been shaking just opening one pack :) These were awesome cards. Thanks, Ando.
I honestly like the fossil box better than the base set. I bought a ton of it when I was a kid.
I love your vids bro but New Zealand in better
how do yall keep this older boxes. are these boxes being reproduced?
People save em dude. People went near and far to get first edition boxes when the reality of the pokemon craze was understood and saved them as investments.
NICE! That fossil sheet I sent to the store wild seeing my local shop on Unlisted Leaf!
Next time put the prices up, a lot more will want to watch
This is the exact store I go to!
The English guy opens the packs puts 3 to the back and then hits the stacks on the table Twice!! Foil Hypno & the 2nd Foil Articuno got a corner tap. and then at 13:30 a hint comment is made about it lol
Box bricked out a bit on the holos, but still very cool. Pure nostalgia.
I still have my first edition cards from childhood such memories
Hi, I sent you a letter with a painted unlistedleaf and I was wondering if it came in?
31yo man here very much reliving childhood watching this
It annoys me so much that the base packs used to be £0.99 when I was a kid and I had so many of them and threw them all in the bin when I was younger
You threw away un-opened base pack?
Where did you get the price of $800 on a psa 10 dragonite?! That's more like $4k!
I have been wanting to buy things from poke collect but haven’t yet. I also love your videos and one day hope to get some awesome card.
Loved seeing the holo muk thrown aside like the trash he loves
15k but how much worth was inside?

Your videos are so cool , can’t wait for the next upload
I have your kabutops holo also one of my favorites
These are the ones i remember from when i was 11 in the late 90s
do fusion strike build and battle stadium pls it will make my day
Hey biggest fan again poke collects is the plug bro
Gotta look for the Krabby error card I believe part of the fossil stamp is missing
I love your work keep it up
Hope you pull error tobacco label card
Boy does this bring back memories
Always found the set odd, for the fact that golem is an uncommon, amd haunter is a rare holo haha.
Great online store to
$13K? You can get this whole set in 1st edition PSA 9 for $4k. Lmao
Yeah, prices don't make sense. When you buy the whole box it's always cheaper to just to just buy a bunch of PSA 9s and get them retouched until you can get a 9.5 or even a 10.
You are the best! So glad to be a viewer

What is an Omnimyte?
I’m not a fossil fan but gengar is my favourite ghost type
can you give us an update when the PSA's arrive i hope you guys got some 10s
Really cool video awesome to see full appreciation watched to the end… I really just gotta say it tho man it’s bothered me whole video it’s OMA STAR and OMA NYTE not omna. please bro I can get past just different pronunciations but that’s just incorrect
I love this video❤
You should give those psyducks to real breaking Nate for his bday or something
No recap? 😢
I have Graded Russian Charizards, and Entei, Venusaur etc... They are no longer made in Russia because of them attacking Ukraine, and never will be made in Russian language again! What do you think they might be worth. The ones I have are either 1 in existence, or 2 in Charizards case!
Replied!
No Iono though, so there's room for improvement.
takes me back as a kid :) .. till my mother stole my collection.. .
Imagine bragging about being first and also being wrong 💀
Bro woke up on the wrong side of the bed💀
Yo, I know this place. Looks like the place i went to when I lived in Madison AL
is this what poke collect has been doing????!!!!
Hey unlisted leaf it been a long time I watch you I watch you when I was 10
I dont mean to sound rude or anything, but there are going to be no more vintage boxes in the future because people keep opening them.
They were made to be opened. Some things just aren’t made to sit around forever collecting dust. At least so many openings have been documented and we know every set list and rarity so we can assess the cards as they float around from owner to owner.
Any nerds got an expected value on that box post open?
I have the machamp holo 1st addition
