Could you do a video telling between fake and reals of different languages? Like japanese? I feel japanese cards are more difficult to tell fake from real would be helpful!!!
I was able to tell right away because I almost bought a base set booster box on eBay for $200 before I did my research and noticed how fake it was! Thanks to you and a few other people out there, I was able to spot the difference and kept my money in my pocket. But I am actually looking for fake cards on the cheap just because they are fun to look at
What the heck...dude unmade me passout... whyyyyy a charizard....dude lmao...u can tell from a fake and real feel the texture of the card if its smooth and shiny like really shiny
Thank you for this video Pokerev, a great insight into catching those fakes. I can always remember going to car boot sales and other town markets over here in the UK and seeing all these rare cards up for sale at certain collector stalls, I can remember after close inspection finding some cards to be fake and the then 40 year old stall owner getting an earful from a 10 year old poke nerd! Getting told to jog on was too common, I fee for those that didn’t know the difference and spent the money on those holos. You could tell by the quality right off the bat.
How bizarre that they can produce an almost exact copy of the box and booster packs in all its colors, but fail in those small wizards of the coast stamps on the wrapping..
Hey man! It’s great to see you on TH-cam! (Thanks for that minty base set booster box a couple years ago!) Love the video quality and content! One video that would be cool to see (could be a collab with other Pokétubers) is an “Almost Got ‘Em” (like the Batman episode): where you talk about not pulling the trigger on what would have been an awesome deal (e.g. 1k for a play promo Umbreon back in the day) or sold something that’s worth a lot more today (Smpratte told me that PSA 9 1st ed base Zards used to go for $500). I just figure we all have those stories like if we had only gotten into bitcoin early etc. Anyway much love from Chicago and hope you and the fam are doing well!!
Hey! Thanks for checking out the channel! Cool to see yah here. That's a nice idea. I could go on for days with a video like that one haha. Will def write that down. All the best buddy!
I knew it off the bat! the lighting, the packaging, the structure. BOOTY. The wizard pack was structured, sealed right, and the lighting and print was slightly darker.
That holo fake pikachu was actually pretty cool. Also it was cool that you got an error pack with a crimped error dratini. I like error and misprint cards. I think they’re sweet. Thanks for sharing again man!
Wow just bought 2 booster packs from you the other day and randomly your channel is in my recommended , thanks for the advice, hope the channel keep growing !
The other issue is that JP cards newer ones actually feel slightly waxy but def not flimsy or anything feel good quality so just wanted to put that out there so people realize testing is different for JP cards over American cards just wanted to say that but awesome video thanks brotha
I'd honestly would not open any vintage booster boxes. I remember at the age of 12, I would do chores around the house to get $10. Every Saturday I'd walk 30 minutes to buy a base set booster pack for $5. I always bought the charizard art booster pack. I pulled two charizard cards through out that time. Greatest feeling ever. If I had a booster box, I would never open it. But that's just me.
Nice walkthrough! Just one extra tip, one I've been using to determine authenticity, is shine your phone LED light to the back of the card. If you can't see the light through on the other side, the card's legit. The fakes you can see the LED light right through on the other side. Saves people from ripping cards haha
Is it possible that booster packs can sometimes vary in colour? I have a few shining legends packs and two of them are slightly different in colour, I opened one and everything seems good, ripped a card and had the black through the middle, all fonts and seals are the same! Everything seems to be fine apart from the colours are slightly (and only ever so slightly) different.
Does the G make a difference on “TRADING CARD GAME” ? On fake the bottom part just goes straight up on real it curves in on bottom on the G inward, is that tell tale of a fake if it just straight up with no curve?
Because of the inner layer of the real ones, you can put a flashlight under it and it shines through the fake ones. the real ones, you have to put the flashlight right on it, touching the card to see light coming through
Great vids my dudes. Recently got back in to Pokemon dew to my son, what great memories. Brought out the old collection and to my surprise I have the complete Topps first set, near ment, puzzle cards and all. Is this worth anything, willing to part with it so that I can help my son start his own.
Where did you get the fake booster box from? I've recently bought box for thousands and thousands but want to confirm it's authenticity by holding a legitimate fake one in my hands if one is obtainable.
Any advice for new card buyer? Where is the best place to buy booster packs online? I believe most packs are tampered or weighed and sometimes they don’t even come in the carboard packaging for these sleeved packs. I’m scared of amazon and ebay.
So only first edition base, shadowless, and Aquapolis have no-logo variants? I saw a video from vintagemtg about a rocket booster box like that, but never seen one besides his.
I was thinking about ordering a couple of cases of fake cards just as long as I'm not paying authentic prices. Where would you suggest I get fake cards from?
@@PokeRev btw, can you take a look at two cards for me and give me an estimated PSA grade? I know its difficult via pictures, especially since these are sealed (shadowless) machamps.
Honestly I've seen ALOT of fakes but they are always so obvious, Everytime they screw up the plastic wrap. Most of the problems with it is they don't know how to seal it properly or they have a complete different type of wrap like in this video...
Just want to say thank you I was an idiot bought a few packs opened them in store immediately realized they were fake due to this video. They didn't even try to hide it. There was a card in the pack was flipped backwards. Even than the feel was completely off I caused enough ruckus they gave me a refund though a police officer being in store probably didn't hurt.
@poke_rev I did open up a fake booster pack when the first limited edition wizards of the coast came out I never though it was until I opened one up...I actually bought one in stores lmao too belive it or not...open it up then I noticed the texture of the card was different from the authentic one and also keep in mind cutting one from real and fake one the real one will have an ink and the fake doesnt... that's an other way...I mean I dont reccomend cutting a hole lmao cut a energy card and check it that way obviously....but yeah I had my fair share of fake from real.
Were you able to tell the difference between the fake and real booster boxes and cards? I hope this video helps you guys avoid those fakes!

I knew it was fake asap. When ever you move the fake box the plastic dont even sound right.
The color was different. Thanks bro for your videos!👌💯
I would also like to see information about a real japanese booster box!
Just ripped my psa8 charizard in half to make sure it had black!! Its real guys!!! I'm so stoked!!! 😱😱😀
Phew glad it wasn't a fake!
What the heck...dude unmade me passout... whyyyyy a charizard....dude lmao...u can tell from a fake and real feel the texture of the card if its smooth and shiny like really shiny
I mean its PSA 8 still Charizard 😥
KILLZONEGAMING he’s clearly being sarcastic lol
KILLZONEGAMING ew charizard
Sweet, now I can check if my 1st edition Base set Charizard is real!
*RIIIIIIPPPPP*
Oh cool, it was real!
No regratz !
Lmao
Wow it's crazy coming back to an old PokeRev video xD such a different tone. You've grown so much Rev

Love these informational videos so important for people to know this information once again thank you rev!!
I knew it off the bat! the lighting, the packaging, the structure. BOOTY.
The wizard pack was structured, sealed right, and the lighting and print was slightly darker.
Thank you so much for posting this video. This is what the community needed in order not to get scammed.
All we need now is a video on long packs. Love your videos. Keep up the good work
Really appreciate you watching!! I want to make sure everyone knows what to look for.
Thanks for making this video. It really helped me out as I'm just getting into Pokemon

Your the best bro good looking out. Love your videos are the best really helpful. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks brother appreciate you watching
Love the eye opening experiences !! Made some myself.. the excitement sometimes takes control defineatley good things to know!!!!
Pokeprada O the more you know the better off you are with collecting!
@@PokeRev 100 percent. Glad your made this video. Prevent people from making expensive mistakes I defineatley learned alot from this!!
Really helpful video man! Thanks for this!
The right box is the authentic one. The plastic wrap has the WOTC logo on it. But this is good information for everyone! Glad to see this video up.
Where did you get the fake booster box?
A mint crimp base set card.....I would be so stoked to find that gem! You were way to casual about that my man, I would be jumping with joy!
crimped cards are neat but dont demand a premium normally like other errors do as it can be replicated outside the factory
The other issue is that JP cards newer ones actually feel slightly waxy but def not flimsy or anything feel good quality so just wanted to put that out there so people realize testing is different for JP cards over American cards just wanted to say that but awesome video thanks brotha
Just has a few boxes of base set while I’m here saving up to get 1 🙃

Dude that crimped dratini is awesome 🔥
The right is real! It's got the wizards logos. That's my guess, bro!
Thank you for this vid! Its definitely going to help a lot of people, me included!
Great video. It will help collectors from getting scammed. Thank you
Great info pokerev👍
This is an awesome video. Thank you for this
Does the G make a difference on “TRADING CARD GAME” ? On fake the bottom part just goes straight up on real it curves in on bottom on the G inward, is that tell tale of a fake if it just straight up with no curve?
1.04 the right one is real
Lmfao you’re so serious in the start of your videos i get scared you’re going to yell at me
whats your opinion on those long seem packs? with the crimps going the other way?
Because of the inner layer of the real ones, you can put a flashlight under it and it shines through the fake ones. the real ones, you have to put the flashlight right on it, touching the card to see light coming through
Always so many fakes out there. I’m glad to see more and more informative videos to help people who haven’t experienced it.
Great vids my dudes. Recently got back in to Pokemon dew to my son, what great memories. Brought out the old collection and to my surprise I have the complete Topps first set, near ment, puzzle cards and all. Is this worth anything, willing to part with it so that I can help my son start his own.
Thats awesome! Really cool set to have. Topps have been getting very popular as well
Keep up the good work 😊
What about the hanging boosters? Are the crimps supposed to be horizontal?
Where did you get the fake booster box from? I've recently bought box for thousands and thousands but want to confirm it's authenticity by holding a legitimate fake one in my hands if one is obtainable.
Any advice for new card buyer? Where is the best place to buy booster packs online? I believe most packs are tampered or weighed and sometimes they don’t even come in the carboard packaging for these sleeved packs. I’m scared of amazon and ebay.
Do you still have some and do you sell them? The cards or packs wild be interesting :-)
Lol it would have been soooo AWESOME if he pulled a charizard with the demo pack! 😁🤣
Do you know how a holo card is supposde to look like inside? Is it a full holo material inside the card or should it only be at the window box?
So only first edition base, shadowless, and Aquapolis have no-logo variants? I saw a video from vintagemtg about a rocket booster box like that, but never seen one besides his.
The reason it was a bit open. Was because those are evolutions you just did not want to open up first edition.
Great video rev
Ethan Thank you Ethan!
I have a real booster box, from 1999 still in the plastic wrap. Do you have any advice on how I can seek it and to who?
You did that energy dirty
The Venusaur on the box gave it away for me
Where do you buy those booster boxes or booster packs ? seems to sell for 25-200k...
Where could i get one of those booster of the fakes ?
I think you should open the rest of the fake box. Would love to see what they have made
I think so too!
@@PokeRev hope theres a fake zard
I was thinking about ordering a couple of cases of fake cards just as long as I'm not paying authentic prices. Where would you suggest I get fake cards from?
Was wondering the same I wanna buy a fake box just to look at them 😂
@@johnf8797 same 😂 Do you think I have thousands of dollars to drop on cards for my channel? No, I need some cheap, fake cards to lust over 😂
@@paulywalnuts1776 Honestly I'm not sure! Randomly found and bought these because they were old school fakes. I would say maybe flea markets?
Awesome knowledgeable video!!
Thank you
Stephen Kissoon hey Stephen as always thanks for watching!
@@PokeRev Always buddy!
@@PokeRev btw, can you take a look at two cards for me and give me an estimated PSA grade? I know its difficult via pictures, especially since these are sealed (shadowless) machamps.

good video rev
Blastoise no stage error for 120$ in near mint shape. Is that a good price?
Yeah that could be as long as its maybe a PSA 7 or higher I would say
@@PokeRev ok thanks. Might get it then. It would be my first actually valuable error. Aside from miscuts and crimps.
Right
The right one is obviously the real one 👍
Nice eye!
So useful!!
Im about to buy a first edition Fossil box. Anything specific I should look for to check the authenticity?
Did you buy a fake booster box for the video?
Just want to say thank you I was an idiot bought a few packs opened them in store immediately realized they were fake due to this video.
They didn't even try to hide it. There was a card in the pack was flipped backwards. Even than the feel was completely off
I caused enough ruckus they gave me a refund though a police officer being in store probably didn't hurt.
There's also such thing if pack is to loose to easy to open. The pack I was given felt off but I ignored my gut
Are there any differences on a sealed booster boxes besides the shrink wrap?
No bloat
@poke_rev I did open up a fake booster pack when the first limited edition wizards of the coast came out I never though it was until I opened one up...I actually bought one in stores lmao too belive it or not...open it up then I noticed the texture of the card was different from the authentic one and also keep in mind cutting one from real and fake one the real one will have an ink and the fake doesnt... that's an other way...I mean I dont reccomend cutting a hole lmao cut a energy card and check it that way obviously....but yeah I had my fair share of fake from real.
Hi Pokerev
Thank you for this video!
I have a sealed base 2 Booster pack. Idk if it's fake or not. 😕 Feels original but I got no second booster to compare.
I can always check it out if you email me a photo
@@PokeRev thank you 😄👍🏼
i think its the 1 on the left... nice
It it sad that I’m desperate enough to buy the fake box
that's what investing is all about... the light test is good too, why? because I've learned from other youtubers and thanks to them.
My real card has a waxy feel on the back and a texture type on the front but the fake ones have one feal all round
The right one!
Oh my gosh i can't believe it!!😳💖
I'm watching the diamond and pearl anime right now and discovered Dawn. She's a good character! I missed this whole series as a kid.
I just saw your username and thought about that 😂
@@RensCollectibles oh ok
Still have the crimped dratini from this video?
I think the booster boxes I bought from poke nerds are fake. The wrappers white part came off.
How much for the 1st edition booster box anyways?
Today about..
400k
Wouldn't it be nice if those booster boxes still cost $4,000 🙃
PokeRev it's my dream to own a Base Set booster box, I've opened up so many packs but never the actual box. I would love to own a box!
Keep pushing and youll make it happen Zack!
@@PokeRev hopefully when I start my TH-cam channel and I start making money, whatever I get I hope that helps
Hey I watch a lot of your videos, I recently acquired a fossil pack that looks fake to me. I will email the pictures hope you can confirm, thank you.
The barcode numbers on the real one is bigger.
Do you sell boxes?
Its it me or the left box on the bottom the area on the the bottom by the bar code was smaller then the right box?
And also the fake box looked smaller then the real box idk if it's just me tho
right
do holo cards have the pattern go into the text portion of the card?
Not in vintage ones, but there are newer ones that do that. Regular holos may have holo bleed that shows a bit of holo print
I think the smashed one is fake 👀
--- PokéKid ---
Haha good eyes!
So where can I find some fake packs lol I just wanna take a trip down memory lane just can't afford the real packs anymore lol
ppl need to stop reselling opened sealeds
Lol if you can't tell which one of those is fake right of the bat then you shouldn't be buying cards...
And some of the cards in the fake pack aren’t even from base set they were from jungle
GOAT!
I ripped my 1st edition charizard to see if it was real now I can’t send it to psa damn
where can i buy a fake booster box
Box left
The one on the left edit: yesssssss I did it
Left
I bought a fake one once. :( please sell me one. Love ur videos
the right one is real
Where can i buy a real first edition base set?
Good Luck LOL
