Hey Rev, this is Jack (cooltrainerjack) with Loose Packs. It was awesome to meet you, and I'm glad you were willing to give our boxes a shot. We make these to counteract a lot of the more scummy and scammy boxes you see in the hobby (many of which you have highlighted on your channel), and it takes a lot of time, resources, and energy to make sure they are as good as they can be. At the end of the day mystery products are a gamble and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but our goal when we put these together is with the end collector in mind. We want whoever is opening these to feel good and be happy with what they've pulled. Our mindset is to have a higher floor and lower ceiling relative to the price of the box. So you'll always come away with something of value, rather than most other products on the market where you almost always coming away with nothing chasing the huge hit. Thank you for showcasing our product we work so hard on, I do need to fix the wording on the odds a bit because I guess it is confusing haha!
I really appreciate people like y’all who think of the collector. Lots of these boxes just contain random items, and people will lose. It feels like you made a win-win kinda box. Out of curiosity, how long did it take y’all to come up with the “perfect” box you wanted? These look really cool!
@@VonDoughBoy I appreciate the kind words! A lot of work goes into making these and I am really grateful for the positive response they've gotten. I have been making these for a little over 2 years now. I don't exactly remember how I got the idea, but it was at a point in the hobby where mystery boxes were popular but the only products on the market were basically scams. I made a spreadsheet and kind of pieced together this idea I had in my head of my ideal box. And then did a test run that included Stormfront packs and WOTC packs. Back then Stormfront was like $100 and a 1st Edition Fossil heavy pack was $450. That was the floor and ceiling. The test run I did was 10 boxes for $250 + shipping each, and someone bought 2 boxes and got both Stormfront packs, he streamed the opening live and was SUPER disappointed. So I re-evaluated and decided sticking to vintage only is the best option. And we decided to go with the least controversial option which is WOTC and EX era only. I've continued to listen to feedback (like Rev's feedback about the listed odds being kind of confusing, that will be addressed!) and I try my best to make boxes that are exciting to open and that people will be happy with regardless if it is a ceiling or a floor. Someone at collect-a-con this past weekend where Rev picked these up pulled a heavy base set pack and ripped it right at our booth. Got the Charizard. Absolute jubilation. A young kid came up to us (probably no older than 12) and wanted to get one but needed to sell some stuff first as it was his money he had to use, and not his dad's. Ended up pulling a heavy 1st Edition Jungle pack and decided to keep it sealed. It's those kind of people I like to keep in mind when I make them. A kid deciding to spend his allowance money, or whatever spending money he had one something I made is pretty special. And I don't want the product he receives to be less than special. Probably my favorite though is one time when I was streaming someone really wanted to get one and had been chatting with me for a few days prior about it. The ONLY pack she wanted, though, was a Neo Rev with Entei as the artwork. It was the last pack she needed for her collection. She decided to take the risk and ended up getting that exact pack. I couldn't believe it haha. Sorry for the long reply, but basically in short I came up with the "perfect" box by creating it how I would want it to be if I was the one opening it. How would I feel if I opened one of our boxes and got the absolute worst pack imaginable? Would I rather spend $50 and get $5 worth of junk 999/1000 times but have a 1/1000 chance at a 1st Edition Base Set pack? Or would I rather spend $300-$350 and at worst get ~$200 in value and at best get ~$850? The modern packs are just an added throw in as Rev basically said. We figure a lot of the people who are going keep the packs they get sealed so it's nice to have something cheap that can just be ripped. We've had a handful of alt arts get pulled from the modern packs so that's always cool too.
@cooltrainerjack please keep doing what you guys are doing. Y’all are some of the best in the hobby and I have loved getting to see how you guys keep growing and learning how to be the best
@@cooltrainerjack thanks for the reply man! I’ll have to check you guys out and see about buying a box myself, and whatever y’all have available. I appreciate you taking the time to write something long like this out. Good luck with your business!
For anyone curious, Giovanni holo 1st edition from Gym Challenge is going for around $35-50 raw and between $225-250 in PSA10. Not too valuable, but still a cool pull. And the Lt Surge's Pikachu he got in the same pack goes for about $100 in a PSA10.
Prolly woulda been a couple hundred if he sent the whole pack to get graded and sold the pack lol 😂 but there’s always that little voice in the back of your mind what if there’s a huge card in the pack lol 😂
I'm from the UK and I have bought all my vintage packs from these guys! Whoever does their Instagram messages is awesome, very helpful and packs are awesome! Glad these guys are getting more recognition!
Love that you keep opening old packs. This is so nostalgic, that your channel was like a main motivation for me to open pokemon cards once more after more than a decade from my last pack.
Hey Rev, I am the kid who you saw at Collect A Con wearing the teal/aqua shirt. I am also so glad I was able to meet you and get a selfie! Also, nice vid. Those two final vintage packs were great!!
@@Cheezish unless your really like to open up cards but besides that if you just like old cards it’s better to buy singles then gamble at the chance to get a good card
Very cool video and interesting to see the manufacturer of these boxes weigh in with how he makes them and his rationale behind it all. High-end but legit product. Kudos.
Pretty cool to see this tbh guaranteed vintage pack is wild the gamble is always there ofcourse but foraure one of the better mystery products you have showcased!
I didnt even see this booth! But it was really great running in to you and thank you very much for taking a picture with my son, he loved it. I wish i had some packs on me at the time for you two to open together, he would have freaked!

That was pretty great actually. Expensive, but a guaranteed vintage pack is a nice encouragement.
I've been hearing about Loose Packs recently. It's good to have a trustworthy place to get vintage packs.
I’m a fan of mystery boxes especially when vintage is involved.
Pretty cool to see someone create this style of vintage mystery box and make it seem worthwhile, even on the lower tier of what you can pull.
Love that you keep opening old packs. This is so nostalgic, that your channel was like a main motivation for me to open pokemon cards once more after more than a decade from my last pack.
I’ve never seen mystery boxes that are good… until now
Awesome boxes Rev! You should do more of them 😋
Hey Rev, I am the kid who you saw at Collect A Con wearing the teal/aqua shirt. I am also so glad I was able to meet you and get a selfie! Also, nice vid. Those two final vintage packs were great!!

Now we know where to go for vintage packs. Thanks Rev
Should I buy a vintage pack, is it worth it?
Probably not
@@Cheezish unless your really like to open up cards but besides that if you just like old cards it’s better to buy singles then gamble at the chance to get a good card
Yeah probably not
If you collect sealed vintage sure lol
These mystery boxes don't seem too bad 🧐

Wow, actual heat from a mystery box, nice!!!
Very cool video and interesting to see the manufacturer of these boxes weigh in with how he makes them and his rationale behind it all. High-end but legit product. Kudos.
The Eeveelution gold stars are my vintage chase cards!
There is almost nothing that brings me as much joy as my daily viewing of Rev's content :)
Damn that's some crazy mystery packs! Sadly out of my budget but thanks for showing us them 😊
You should do a video of your most cherished cards.
Great video...absolutely love your content.... keep up the great work 👍.. Thanks for all you do for us...
So cool, always a joy to watch you open mystery packs.
This episode was lit! Thank you for showing us these packs 🙏
Really enjoyed this one! Grab more of these.
I just love those classic gym boosters so much nostalgia
I think I gotta follow you and Ryan to find these items 🤣. Great vid was good to catch y’all at collect a con following up CP2 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Cool mystery packs for sure, thanks for sharing Rev!
Just wondering if you can order these boxes online they seem pretty decent?
Thank you for the opening rev I appreciate it and you I love mystery box openings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love seeing the background falling but have u thought bout finding a way to clap it to the table. Lol
Pokerev is an amazing youtuber, and mystery box videos and definitely the best!
Hey, Rev. I think your videos are awesome! I just got into Pokémon, and your openings are so good!
I really like these mystery boxes, huge risk but it’s nice you get a guaranteed vintage pack and the odds don’t seem ridiculous either!
Always nice to see vintage pack opening, and gym challenge is one of my favorites.
Shrouded Fable Release date... Can't wait it's so close 😄
AwI some boxes and epic pulls Rev let’s go!! 🎉🎉🎉
A much better mystery box than the other ones you’ve been opening.
Keep up the great content definitely the best TH-camr hands down 🎉
I bought couple of these before and they are the best boxes around….loosepacks is great people ALL of them 💯
Those where pretty darn awesome 😊😊
Love Jack and Tyler. Loose packs are a good company! Been buying them for a while now.
They also have a master ball set which are absolutely insane
Amazing, these kind of mystery boxes really stand out. Love the odds on 1st edition
So are definitely better boxes to open. Seems like you have a real chance at a good vintage pack.
Good to see some vintage from mystery products
Prefect time just got off work😂. Keep it up man
Heard about loose packs, they had a great idea with these
Hey, it’s me! You don’t know who I am but I’m a fan!😂
I just am loving these types of videos
It's cool that these boxes guarantee a vintage pack. I would get one if it wasn't so expensive!
Love to just stay up and watch Rev
This guy is the goat big part of my pokemon childhood
Pikachu is amazing 😎
Pretty cool to see this tbh guaranteed vintage pack is wild the gamble is always there ofcourse but foraure one of the better mystery products you have showcased!
Pretty wicked box and cool to see them be opened. Thank you for sharing with us
A guaranteed vintage pack!?! I’m saving to buy one right now! This is probably the best random mystery box I’ve ever seen!
Wanted to get one but was scared of them.. thank you for showing them. Nice to meet you at the con.
wow you were SUPER LUCKY today!!! also great job on the vid!!!
Always love the videos with mistery packs
Guaranteed Vintage Boosters Guaranteed!!🤯😱
They were probably some of the better mystery boxes you’ve ever bought
These are some super cool mystery products
I didnt even see this booth! But it was really great running in to you and thank you very much for taking a picture with my son, he loved it. I wish i had some packs on me at the time for you two to open together, he would have freaked!
Mystery packs are the best content! And no one can tell me otherwise
Awesome im glad you actually got close to your value back in packs and the hits were pretty solid!
Very cool! A local shop by me has some base set packs unweighted that cost the same as that box did!
Wow mystery boxes that actually are worth the risk 😂. I'd pay the price for a chance at 1st ed wotc stuff for sure!
Bro these were fire!! I could watch this getting opened all day
That reverse fire energy was sick
Very cool that you picked up some unique stuff to rip on your channel at the con. These were pretty decent.
Never fails to be interesting pulling wotc packs out of mystery boxes 😂
Way out of my budget, but soo awesome to see you open them!
Legend!! You always bring these childhood feelings back!!
Awesome to pull vintage packs from a mystery box!
Honestly, best Pokémon content ever
