No not really. We are in an era of pokeom cards where all sets are highly overprinted, card values drop constantly with alot of the time the most expensive card being half the price of a booster box. We are in an era where everyone buys booster boxes (or even cases) Just to keep them for later reselling. Meaning I can still buy older sets like darkness ablaze for less than msrp. Also you can buy entire sets for $400 to $700 euro. That is 3/5 boxes. So unless you wait 25 years you are not gonna make much money of of it, unless the set is shortprinted.
At least you can play sealed by a friend or solitaire 2 decks if you lose. Just get some energy cards. But yeah I wouldn't go too into pokemon as a lot of effects are derivative lol. Hau is power crept Bill and there are many other versions let alone Sonia power crept a ton too. I am glad evolutions are easier to play than in those dark age Haymarket days with no searches like timer ball.

@@jamesp1289 yea i dont know why he was testing them when you need to open thousands of packs to even have a chance at a good card, and by then you wont make your money back.
That's not how scams work, a scam is a dishonest scheme, ponzi, be your own boss, pokemon cards, they all sell you and idea that is not worth your money and where just a few ones will benefit from the money of others, why is it a scam if they are not telling you will get back your money? Simple, they know those cards are worth money depending on rarity so instead of selling the boxes for a normal price like 20$ (it's paper, they are not metal cards) they sell them probably 7 times the real price they should be, if it wasn't a scam they all should cost the same but some are expensive because they can contain more "exclusive" cards, you are the people that see Balenciaga selling broken trash shoes for thousands and think that is not a scam and it's worth it.

@@vicentegeonix and I'm sorry. You will never catch me dead posting a video claiming I'm trying to make my money back off opening Pokémon Cards. No one makes money way, that's lemonade stand type of money. 😅
A big thing when opening Pokémon cards is you have to check the set list to see if it’s even possible to get your money back. Currently with Scarlet and Violet base, the most expensive card is around 50$, but with a set like Brilliant Stars or Obsidian Flames, they have cards with 100$ plus value.
But most of the time, the real value comes with grading cards or keeping the box sealed. Really, opening a booster box is just a fun way to open lots of packs and see what cards are inside, regardless of the value!
It’s only a scam if it says you’re guaranteed something good or to get your money back. In this box nothing was guaranteed so you didn’t get scammed. The only thing you got scammed was for the bad luck you have
That’s one type of person with Pokémon cards. It’s his choice, after all. I enjoy collecting for the money but also for playing and building decks to play. But everyone has their choice on what to do. If he wants to rip all of them apart, he can. It’s his choice, after all
IT CAN BE MEANT TO BE SOLD THATS WHY THEY HAVE A FRICKING GRADING SYSTEM AND ARE WORTH MONEY “its not meant to be sold” YOUR SAYING NOBODY SHOULD SELL THEIR CARDS? YOU SAY I SHOULD SPEND $500 DOLLARS FOR A PACK TO GET A $1000 CARD AND RIP BEND AND ALL THAT AND DESTROY THE CARD WHILE PLAYING WITH IT INSTEAD OF SELLING TO PAY FOR IMPORTANT THINGS?!?!
It really isn’t. People don’t buy Pokémon cards to resell the individual cards. People buy them for one of three reasons: they collect them, they play the TCG, or they are a scalper that buys our whole stores worth of packs, tins and boxes and then resells them on the internet for 3x the original cost since they artificially drove the demand up. Booster packs aren’t to make money. Things like cards and beanie babies stopped being worth much money (with a handful of obvious exceptions) back in the 90s and super early 2000s. The real reason to buy Pokémon cards is to make an adorable little army of Lechonks and fill up a card binder or a bunch of tins with memories.
Bro really called it a scam when he spent money on something that brought him joy and made him even more money by making this video, he does not deserve to call it a scam since it’s not
@@JoshIsStrugglingactually card games control prices trough short printing, high rarities and meta viability. Yugioh being the most obvious and worst case out there.
Absolutely never open boosters or buy boxes or bundles for anything more than fun and maybe the promos. Figure out what you want to buy and stick with singles as much as possible. You are statistically likely to spend less money doing so, as a collector or player. Don’t bother selling unless you are willing to buy tons of cards. Basically… own a card shop or run an ebay store or don’t bother betting on a recoup. I promise the pull rates will screw you way more than they don’t, and you’ll just end up with a bunch of worthless bulk after you sold all your decently priced cards.
@@Tyfun76 I mean have fun but if you’re trying to make money on cards, buying and selling singles is a lot more reliable, and that’s saying a lot because it’s very easy to lose money on expensive singles
@@Tyfun76 nope rayquaza alt art from evolving skies is $380 but it’s a 1/1800 packs card. Definitely cheaper to buy the $380 card then open 1800 packs at 4 dollars a pack. Factor in the evolving skies packs are $15 each, singles for life mate.
@@Tyfun76 Absolutely not. If the card is going for $200, it's because it costs way more than $200 to pull it on average. Pulling packs for it makes as much sense as buying lottery tickets.

It IS a scam because they’re getting away with selling thinly veiled GAMBLING to kids. It’s pure indoctrination at a ripe old age of 6, and the house always wins, you get a bunch of useless cardboard for x 1000 the price. You can try to justify your addiction in any way, but you are a sucker if you’re buying these things.
Ya you got the wrong box, Scarlet and Violet basset isn’t the best one to get you should’ve picked crown zenith or silver Tempest so yeah, I’ve been collecting since 2017
As a personal collector a booster box and extra money for lets say a binder and sleeves is a really good investment with most of the cards he pulled he could complete the set and have it to battle, or even sell after some years. Leave your thought I don't know.
Pokémon packs are more of a lick base as from a seven dollar pack you could pull a 56$ card which happened to me so you don’t really win money or lose money collectively as a collector
A scam is something advertised that it will make you money. Pokemon company doesn’t say you’ll get rich flipping their cards if you buy them. Toxic resellers think that they should get rich from a children’s game.
This is why some of the etbs,booster boxes, packs,bundles,etc because some people just buy them without even knowing what it is and all they know is to make theyre money back. Don't do this not only you might lose money but now us actual pokemon collecters/players have less cards and stuff to get.
