I've seen a lot of people saying how they wish they kept their childhood cards in better shape. I completely disagree ya'll. The beautiful thing about them is how much we loved, traded, and cherished those little pieces of cardboard. :)
I'm 26 year old now and I just got into collecting pokemon cards. Your videos made me understand it more than I ever did and I'm getting into it more by watching your videos 🙂
When finding your old collection it really signifies what the purpose of these TCG's are all about, especially for children. Playing with the cards, being able to go out and purchase the cards, not being worried about grading it or selling it for a quick buck. The behaviour of adults this year has been appalling when it comes to Pokemon TCG, and the amount of children who are unable to have this as part of their childhood due to the sheer greed of adults is saddening.
i went to target and there was two brilliant stars etbs and 6 darkness ablaze etbs and i went away for 5 minutes and the brilliant stars etbs were gone and 2 darkness ablaze etbs were gone too.
This is so nostalgic. It doesn't matter if the card are in bad condition, what's important is this prove that you enjoy your childhood with Pokémon card as much as you enjoy it until now
This video is crazy. I am sure for a lot of people, the first ten minutes was word for word my Pokemon journey as a 9/10 year old, especially when going to High School and it no longer being 'cool', unbelievable nostalgia. So grateful for your videos and getting me back into the hobby!
I’ll never forget my principal announcing on loudspeaker 📢 “no more ‘POKe-MAN’ allowed at school. Was a huge thing to trade at recess and lunch such good times
I remember because I brought it but I wasn’t at school they banned it, that the teacher took my charizard and some other cards and ripped them up and threw them out. (Not old cards, but still..) 😟
16:00 Dude Rev you really hit me in the feels here man I can relate. I actually lived in Japan when Pokémon became a thing so I had everything from gen 1 and 2 that you could ever want. I was so proud of my card collection. One day, years later I moved to South Carolina and my “friends” came over and without me knowing stole everything they could from my binder. The starters, legendaries, everything worth a damn was pocketed and gone. It kills me to this day mainly because I know that they probably didn’t take care of them and are long gone/ destroyed. I love your channel because it’s a great, entertaining nostalgia trip handled by a man who is clearly passionate about all of this. I wish you much luck with the stellar card pulls, bro
Man, I dont even know what to say. I'm really sorry man, I feel like really really bad. Hope you get better soon, and I recommend you get back into collecting, it's fun:)
@@RaptorRapine thanks man I appreciate it! It really sucked but it’s in the past. Luckily with celebrations I was able to draw the classic trio starters so that healed my spirit a bit haha
This was amazing to see. All of us kids who collected and actually PLAYED with our cards in the 90s and early 2000s cards are in similar condition. I have some great memories battling with them on the sidewalk in front of my house. No kid was thinking about the potential future value, just having fun.
I found my childhood collection at my parents about 3 months ago. All the memories it brought back was irreplaceable. It’s crazy how much you can remember just from seeing these cards. So happy to be back collecting after more than 20 years!
People say that playing with cardboard and stupid stuff like that makes you a kid. But I play with Pokémon cards still and I am 19 and nobody’s said that to me and second of all people can do what they want to even if that means cherishing cardboard or playing on playgrounds and doing kid stuff if that what makes you a kid then I am one and I am proud.
Man the yugioh cards brought back some memories I didn't know I had! I still have my childhood collection as well, love checking it out and showing my son.
“I’d put all of them in my pocket”. Well at least you took the name pocket monsters literally.. best 20 minutes I’ve spent on TH-cam in a long time. Thanks. 🙂
Love this! 6 months ago we had a whole heap of boxes dropped off at our house from my in laws - it was all my husbands childhood stuff we didn’t know they had kept haha but found my husbands old 1999 Pokémon collection (in both Japanese & English) in great condition 😱😱 He never played them just placed with them in his folders (soo cute) It’s what got us both back into Pokémon!
the story of the kids taking your cards at school...almost the same thing happened to me way back in the day...honestly why I stopped collecting as a kid. now we are just big kids!
My Bad Pokémon Memory is the Moment i found latios in Pokémon emerald, i was like 7 years Old and took my gameboy with the Game to school. After a Break my Gameboy was still there, but my Pokémon Game and my latios were gone. Big sad. Never saw it again. But a few years Later i got latios ex delta species holo from a Dragon frontiers pack, my last Pokémon cards i got till today. (~13 years ago) And its my most valuable card, maybe aside from my First Edition dark charizard (non holo)
Never happened to me with Pokemon cards fortunately but it did happen with toys that were in the UK called Crazy Bones. I got the rarest one and was the only kid in school with it, whilst I left them with a friend of mine, this other kid that was always getting into trouble snatched the bag of my friend. I managed to get the bag back but didn't realise until later that the rare one was gone, even had my dad come into school but unfortunately it was days later and the pr*ck kid had taken it home. It's not worth much now but the only reason she stole it was solely to cause issues for others as she didn't play them, it's sad how poor a person some kids are.
33 year old here and this video brought back all the feels, gamezone in Hillsdale NJ. Used to ride my skateboard there with my cousin and buy up as many packs as we could afford. I live in Texas now, when i get back to NJ next time i'm turning my parents house upside down to find my old binders. Love the channel, keep it up!
Same thing happened to me....so upset when i came back into the hobby and saw the prices of the cards i used to have. Joe Exotic said it best...."i will never financially recover from this" hahahah
I found my old binder full of base set, jungle, fossil and Japanese cards about 2 years ago. Still in my original zip up binder with my name on it and everything from when i was 7-10 years old back in 99-02. I was extremely surprised at how well younger me took care of cards and organized the binder, it was shocking. Opened it up to a page of 3 base set Charizards, 3 Blastoise and 3 Venusaur staring at me. I almost cried thinking about all the memories I’ve had pulling, trading, and collecting them all. Incredible memories with my older brother and younger brother for sure.
im 32 years old and one day my mom showed up with boxes and boxes of old stuff from my child hood. she was glad to get rid of them (lol) in those boxes was my old pokemon cards from the 90's . have about 30-40 holos . i have no clue how much they are worth . i havent been big into pokemon since i was a kid and i took a trip down memory lane remembering how excited i was to open a pack and find a holo. they are now sleeved up and sitting in a box in my closet. lol anyways i been googling and searcing facts about old pokemon cards and came across your channel a few days ago and been loving the content.
Hey Pokérev I noticed the shadowless Bulbasaur just before 17:50 in the bottom left part of the left page has a length-length printing error instead of length weight so might be worth getting it graded or just pulled out!😃
I gave my entire collection from my childhood to my neighbors kid when I wad around 18. Dumbest decision I ever made. I had all three starter pokemom holo evolutions charazard and all. I wanna say I collected all 150 or 151 original gen 1 pokemon and gave them all away. Never thought they'd be worrh anything lol
@@UNCULTUREDSTEVE when I seen what these cards were going for the past couple of years I was sick lol. If I were you I'd sell them while the prices are still good. They're starting to come down alittle.
@@joshlowe6918 are they? I posted a video in my shorts seeing if anyone knew anything about em lol I live in a small town so there isn’t any card stores here unless I drive 2 hours. So I might have to use eBay
@@UNCULTUREDSTEVE yea eBay is the best way to sell them but for the most accurate prices they're going for is on the PSA website in there auction section. You might be able to sell them there too but they may need to be graded to.
I wish I got into Pokémon early on. I was never allowed to be into them, but I’m happy I’m into them now, and you’ve definitely put a spark back into collecting. Thank you!
This is amazing I wish I still had mine from when I was a kid, as much of the nostalgia there is of how they are set out, if this was me I would reorganise them to they're sets, but definitely would send the charmander off for grading.
I feel you man, I remember in first grade where it was cool to have Pokémon cards and me and my friend will trade with older kids, it brings me nostalgia thinking about it.
Hearing you talk about how it was in the 90's is so accurate for me. Loved pokemon but would have fun poked at me about it. Funny thing is those kids that would pick at you secretly liked it too.
Got my childhood collection recently, all of the cards were in one plastic bag. Took me a better part of a day to go through them all, some still in okay condition, including an unlimited base set Charizard!
As someone who lost his entire childhood collection to the ravages of time this was very cathartic to watch. I had some banger stuff too. Tasmanian devil binder, if you're the one who has it you're a lucky man.
mannnnn.... honestly, it's so funny how similar we are all over the world. I'm here in Pakistan and growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s during the pokemania, your story of your cards being stolen in the classroom, brings me back to those days where we'd almost smuggle cards into school which got banned at very quickly. how kids would literally sell their soul to get their hands on a promo mew card and cheat their childhood best friends if it meant getting their hands on a rare card. how there were rumors that the teachers had a whole pile of confiscated legendary cards and if you could sneak in you could get your hands on all of them. It amazes me how similar we all are at a grassroots level all over the world.
Show more! I started my childhood collection as an adult because of economics as a child. Haha! That’s why I loved this video: It was personal and it was shared with your audience.
I was born 1990 in germany and I was the same as you. Your story matches mine 100%. I first had the blue edition, then the silver one, and I was always in the card shop, swapping and collecting.
My mum threw my entire collection out, with a lot of my personal belongings when she wanted to clean my room out. Included full base set with a shadowless 1st ed charizard I bought for $50 back in the day from a shop in mint. I hope someone out there found it
Dude! Trip down nostalgia lane, I remember collecting Pokémon as kid and I had all of the original 151 with a bunch of highly valuable rando’s like an ancient mew! Just recapitulating my child hood I know for fact I also had a first edition Charizard! Unfortunately I lost all my cards in an estate sale and I was surprisingly organized as little kid and had all my cards in excellent condition in a binder organized by no. I literally treated my collection and individual cards like gold, they were the most prized possessions I had at the time! My brother and I literally collected and sometimes traded only to complete our collections. As I think back on it now, I know whoever got my binder made out like a bandit! I had some seriously valuable cards! Crazy to think back on my childhood like this. Thank you for the great videos dude! Keep it on brotha!
Your childhood pokemon experience sounded very similar to mine. Your cards look about as rough as mine too lol. As a kid I was really careless and took all my best Holo cards and brought them in my pocket to a friend's house. I forgot about them and ran through the sprinklers at his house..... So disappointed in my younger self....
I still have my collection from my childhood and I’ve continued to collect over the yrs. Its takin over lol I was lucky enough to keep all mine in sleeves and in non ring binders so I’m pretty happy with it.
This video is awesome man! Really felt old emotion during this video. I am from France and become pokemon fan as soon as it came. Remember playing the games on the computer with an emulator hahaha. But TCG always have been on the top for me! Loved collecting and trading. My first cards i got was fake homade printed cards that some did and I exchange them with my some break food. But I really recognize myself when you spoke of the changing school and collecting pokemon card is not well seen... Was hard for me because I didn't stopped, was manly getting card on garage sell but always worried that some person's i know saw me and used it to criticize me the day after in school. I still own all my french cards collection, it's few thousand of cards but manly on MP condition because we was actually playing with the card at that time. But it s so good to be back in TCG collecting after 10 years of break . It feel so good to be able to found big collector like you without feeling judged. Thanks for yours video man!
I've had my original collection from when I was a kid in the original pokemon pokedex binder I put them in. Has survived all this time and decided to continue adding to the collection a year ago.
I found my childhood cards as well recently lots of holos and a charizard holo as well .... thanks for all the pokemon information i appreciate u brother
Hey rev I know u probably won't see this but I have been watching all of your videos and I've been obsessed and I love pokemon I just want to say your kind of my idol so thank you
Never played with my first edition cards. Always pack fresh then put in the binder. Sure wish I could find that binder and relive those memories pulling all those cards
One of my favorite memories of collecting pokemon cards is when I was being babysat by my aunt and we went to 7 - Eleven. She allowed me to get a handful of first edition base set packs. I fondly remember sitting In the back seat of her nissan pulling the first edition base set charizard.

What was the value of his collection?
The fact that you kept those games in seriously great condition as a KID is very impressive

Listening to your stories reminds me of my own childhood. I experienced a lot of the same things you did growing up with Pokemon.
I was cleaning out my storage and I found my 1990 & 1991 marvel cards with hologram cards and some old comic book some comics are $300
If I still had my cards from my childhood I would send some to PSA even if they get a PSA 1, the nostalgia and memories they would bring is priceless.

I literally treated my collection and individual cards like gold, they were the most prized possessions I had at the time! My brother and I literally collected and sometimes traded only to complete our collections. As I think back on it now, I know whoever got my binder made out like a bandit! I had some seriously valuable cards! Crazy to think back on my childhood like this. Thank you for the great videos dude! Keep it on brotha!
I found this channel and randomly got addicted to Pokémon cards and pokey rev
Me wanting to see the cards,this man showing us his whole collection
It’s kinda sad that on saturdays before school you had to catch the bus so sometimes you missed some of the episodes before school on SATURDAY
My parents got rid of my childhood collection 1 week I was away at summer camp. Never let them live that down
That story about the circle of kids stealing out of his binder sounds downright traumatizing.
I love that you find your cards
Definitely cool to see all the old cards!
2:06 bro found away to time travel
Your childhood pokemon experience sounded very similar to mine. Your cards look about as rough as mine too lol. As a kid I was really careless and took all my best Holo cards and brought them in my pocket to a friend's house. I forgot about them and ran through the sprinklers at his house..... So disappointed in my younger self....
Recently got all my Pokémon cards from my childhood. Been sitting in a binder for 23 years. 😊
I still have my collection from my childhood and I’ve continued to collect over the yrs. Its takin over lol I was lucky enough to keep all mine in sleeves and in non ring binders so I’m pretty happy with it.
That Mystical elf on good conditions worth some money.
Yes dude lets see that full video game collection!
This video is awesome man!
Really felt old emotion during this video.
I am from France and become pokemon fan as soon as it came. Remember playing the games on the computer with an emulator hahaha.
But TCG always have been on the top for me! Loved collecting and trading. My first cards i got was fake homade printed cards that some did and I exchange them with my some break food.
But I really recognize myself when you spoke of the changing school and collecting pokemon card is not well seen...
Was hard for me because I didn't stopped, was manly getting card on garage sell but always worried that some person's i know saw me and used it to criticize me the day after in school.
I still own all my french cards collection, it's few thousand of cards but manly on MP condition because we was actually playing with the card at that time.
But it s so good to be back in TCG collecting after 10 years of break . It feel so good to be able to found big collector like you without feeling judged.
Thanks for yours video man!
I've had my original collection from when I was a kid in the original pokemon pokedex binder I put them in. Has survived all this time and decided to continue adding to the collection a year ago.
I found my childhood cards as well recently lots of holos and a charizard holo as well .... thanks for all the pokemon information i appreciate u brother
I’m still re-making my childhood collection. They were lost in a fire… I’ve been using my savings to slowly replace them and grow my collection
Hey rev I know u probably won't see this but I have been watching all of your videos and I've been obsessed and I love pokemon I just want to say your kind of my idol so thank you
Never played with my first edition cards. Always pack fresh then put in the binder. Sure wish I could find that binder and relive those memories pulling all those cards
One of my favorite memories of collecting pokemon cards is when I was being babysat by my aunt and we went to 7 - Eleven. She allowed me to get a handful of first edition base set packs. I fondly remember sitting In the back seat of her nissan pulling the first edition base set charizard.
Yes grade some childhood cards 😁😁
Especially the Victribell with that backstory
16:41 “he shoved it in his pocket”
Me: well it does say “Pocket Monsters”
Og pokemon stadium brought back mad memories
with yugioh cards, holo are super rare, holo and gold writing is ultra rare, and holo plus platinum writing is secret rare
How much do you want for all of your cards ever?
Lol
