Wow! You’re welcome! Make sure to subscribe, more where that came from!

I’ve been able to get Korean boxes as low as $23 each on eBay. You have to shop around but those deals are there.

Thank you! It was a very fun box and a nice surprise 😊

We ripped ETBs and they actually had 6hits per ETB! Normally 2-4 max. So pretty happy with that 🎉

I’m just saying my experience. You should watch the booster bundle I opened. I think I had 4 hits from the 6 packs. And this booster box was really good for me. I didn’t even pull a main chase card and got my value back from the cards-pretty hard to do with Pokémon cards! It will be interesting to see long term data. When 151 came out I watched videos on “pull rate data” and they all said the pull rates were terrible. That was a big reason why I went to the Japanese set, but I’ve noticed the English pull rates are no where near as bad as when it first released or the pollsters claimed. Don’t think this data is absolute.

Thank you!!! I’m missing some of my setup… we moved and still have things in storage, but thank you for the encouragement! I’ll check you out soon too 😊

Honestly this set is a lot better than I thought 😳 thanks for the support 😊

@@PokeTycoongood on you for replying lad!!

At this point the Japanese boxes are less than 100 and the Korean ones are over 50. I’d go Japanese the way it is now. You’re guaranteed something good in each box 🤷‍♂️ but the zapados card… that card is fire! I’d be fine with a few of those 😅

@@PokeTycoon I have one in English and one in Japanese maybe I could get one in Korean 😂

Thank you!!!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Yes! Buying lots like this is something I really enjoy 😊

No that’s actually how eevee heroes boxes work in Japanese, Korean and I’m guessing Chinese. Worth looking into! They are a lot of fun

You should also check out the lost abyss videos. If you think mine are fake, watch other people open the same boxes.

Like eBay? But yeah, I agree. It’s nice when you can trust a seller!

Me too!!! 😂

I agree with you that something is odd, but I have found super good deals before that weren’t fake! Because I have a channel I’m willing to find out for everyone 😊 I have gone through their comments reviews and still can’t find a comment complaining about fake cards-and they still are rated highly, even after selling lots of these! Bit of a mystery! I’d love to have you watch the follow up video and we’ll find out what’s up!

Thanks bro!

These are some of my favorite cards to collect! I need to do an update soon 😊 thanks for watching!

Maybe that was it 😅 I started wondering if they bought lower tier product or something 😂

Gold for the very last card was perfect! Relicanth is awesome! I wish he got more spotlight

I checked out your videos! Great work! Keep it up 😊 I don’t have an email for my account at the moment, but in the future I will try to have one. I did see yours, so thank you!

I didn’t delete it. TH-cam automatically does things like that

@@PokeTycoon biswasrajpree did you get it

Thank you! I’ll check you out too!

I don’t mind! Good for the algorithm 😂

Me too 😳

Bro!!! Lightning fast! ❤

Yesssss!!!! 😂

That’s what I’m here for

Well I wasn’t going to kill him… 😅 he might learn a tough lesson from someone else, but not me! Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks! I’ll try and find more 😊

Hi 👋

Thanks! Yes, I think I was really thinking about temporal forces… I have felt almost no excitement for that set! Not sure if I’m alone on that, but the chase cards just don’t do it for me. I have seen some of the art rares from the newest set, and there are some amazing looking cards! I’m sure I’ll get to all the new stuff eventually, but for now I’m happy with being late 😂

Yes, too many scammers! Thanks for the support 😊

Unfortunately I have seen a lot of fakes! Some of them are very convincing. The old rares here seem legit-most of them are $5 or $6 cards… I’d honestly be nervous to try and pick up one of the really expensive ones with how many fakes are floating around.

Thanks for watching! Yes, lots of scams these days 😢

Thank you for the support! Unfortunately there are still lots of them! But hopefully this helps people know what to look for 😊

Thank you! Yes my kids are awesome! The 2 year old goes crazy sometimes, but I think it adds some entertainment to our lives 😊 thanks for the support!

Thank you!!! It caught me off guard! 😁

@@PokeTycoon funny

I’ve had such good luck with them. I’ve probably opened 20 boxes or so, and the worst I’ve got is a rainbow or gold card, but… when you realize English doesn’t have any guarantees either… I still think this is a really good way to chase cards! I’m not sure I want to do Chinese. I know they have some really fun products and I will probably try it at some point, but for now I’m loving Korean 😊

@@PokeTycoon I've been loving Korean. I have all the V alt arts, and it doesnt feel bad like Evolving Skies does. 151 is what I need to get next. Congrats on that first box magic btw

@@ContentCreature thank you! Yes, I’ve been thinking a lot about 151 as well 😊 good luck and thanks for the support!

I hear you, but I don’t know much. “James” from offer up in Vancouver WA. I think there are tons of scammers-we need to learn what to look for, not who, you know?

Yep! I’m enjoying eBay a lot too 😊 but I still like buying collections! I’m hoping my move will get rid of some of the toxicity

@@PokeTycoon fair enough I'm sure I'll get the itch again and pick one up haha

@@cashmerefire7335 a legit score… that’s like one of the most exciting pickups for me. A real collection with surprises! I miss the days when pokemon cards were in every garage sale

:) :)

Love it!

Also, nice mustang!

@@PokeTycoon Thank you

Yeah I meant to. He’s in Vancouver WA and went by James. I bought off OfferUp. However, there are so many scammers right now that I think it makes more sense to learn what to look for and in my case just slow down and be more thorough. Like, avoiding this one guy won’t really help any of my viewers (odds of meeting him) but learning about scams could help people avoid them? Make sense?

Great question! When I got back into the hobby it took several months for me to really understand the market. My best advice for you is to buy stuff that’s cheap and fun and not go too crazy until you get a better feel for it. I don’t normally buy cheap singles, but what you said is spot on, every price that you see does not include “gas fees” or shipping/handling etc. so they are not as cheap as they seem. Something I enjoy is looking on marketplace for someone selling a whole collection or bulk lot. You can find a lot of gems in those and it sounds like it might be what you’re looking for. That’s the cheapest way to buy commons/uncommons, as long as it’s a fair price. I also have really been enjoying Korean cards. You can get booster boxes off eBay for $30-40 and it’s a lot of fun for the money. In the current era, scarlet violet, I believe the best set is 151. It’s dipped in price recently and you should be able to pick it up and have a fun experience without breaking the bank. Great set to try and complete!

When I met him the second time and he had a big stack of fake cards I asked him where he got them and he said local card shops 🙄 I don’t believe that at all. In this part of the US there are way too many scammers. I know people who recently had very expensive collections stolen and I also saw a guys who paid a lot for a “first edition charizard” that did look really good but it was off. I suggest having someone help you check stuff out if it’s a large purchase! Luckily for me the $30 bucks or so that I’m out isn’t a big deal. I was scammed for $700 before and that one hurt 😬

Thanks for watching and commenting! I collect pokemon as a hobby and for fun but I believe people are more important than possessions.

@@PokeTycoon Its true and I agree. I appreciate the video and you bringing awareness to the goings on. At the same time, its a interesting balancing act. As without enough ramifications made clear, the trappings of the scammer will be laid for other victims to manage. I'd wager, you weren't the first to get screwed over and won't be the last. He's got the rest of that stack to scam through and make his petty cash. My thoughts below are nothing on you, as you got your world you gotta keep safe. Being wise not to instigate is important. But putting myself in your shoes, and thinking how I might have handled it, falls into two categories. One where I return as you did, but laying out plainly that if his stack of fakes weren't thrown away in front of you. Then a public listing would be made on the platform you both connected through that make clear his dealings. The other thought, was I would not have have returned after getting scammed, and just made a listing stating his dealings in more vague terms that let people know what cards are being faked. And the current scam being played out. I'd personally choose the latter. That said, your approach was pretty solid. I just don't see him stopping till that stack is sold off. And along the way Id imagine he eventually meets a customer less kind than yourself.

Close! Portland area 😊

@@PokeTycoon yeah I’m in California and it’s all the west coast. Here where I’m at crime is the norm even in a small town

Yep! It’s really sad. We’re moving and I’m hoping the whole country isn’t this way 😳

@@PokeTycoon tbh a red state it the answer. Criminal activity is rabid in these blue states/cities. Here where I’m at you can barely find Pokémon cards because it’s all locked away or stolen. But in red states there’s literally aisles dedicated to trading cards and theft is extremely low.

What would you have done? Would you have called the police and said you bought a binder for $100 and some of the cards are fake? Do you think they investigate that kind of thing? Or should I have punched him? I pack more than poke-balls, but I also have a family with three kids. Don’t think the police would care about fake cards, but if I beat a guy up they might care. Also, if weapons got involved it could be life changing and for what? $100? I did confront him. I did take a card from him. I did tell him he’s lucky that I wouldn’t do those other things. I am curious how you would have handled it! Please let me know 😊
