It was glorious. 2016-2019 Ebay had a seller with hundreds in stock at $95 or so each. I was lucky enough to grab 10 of them roughly over the years, but nobody knew what 2020 would do to the market.
Opening an X and Y Evolutions booster box is such a nostalgic experience! The pulls were amazing-especially those Charizards and the full arts. This set always brings back great memories of when it first came out. Can’t wait to see more awesome openings, especially as we get closer to the 10-year mark for Evolutions!
I love watching the pack openings, I have autism and anxiety problems and these openings are doing the same effect as an ASMR video, I’m chilling and relaxing watching the cards.
@@HUMAN.RAYMAN Easy thing to say when mommy and daddy give you a roof over your head and food on the table. Isn't it past your bedtime, someone's in trouble...
@@Instabilitygarrosh lmfao nah..I just work harder than you plus 2 other co-workers 💪so I'm doing better in a post-pandemic thanks to your lazy fucking generation.
Yeah but its also the rarity of the boxes. If 20 people want to experience open this one again and there are only 4 boxes left then there is a good chance that like 6-8 people will spend quite a bit, hence the price. You and ke would probably be one of the other 12-14, but that just means we don't bump the price up even higher
Wow, opening a booster box of Evolutions in 2024 is a bold move. I'm glad you don't crap on this set like a lot of content creators do, Nick. I like this set.
@@nocturne311What I've gleaned from content creators who dislike the set is basically: 1) It's a reprint set. It was a lazy cash grab by TPCI during the Pokémon Go craze. 2) It was printed into the ground and was everywhere and in everything. No matter what tin or collection box you got, you were gonna get some Evolutions packs. And from my understanding, this went on for a VERY LONG TIME. These may not be the only reasons many old school collectors dislike it but those two gripes are most common in my experience. Personally, I wasn't collecting in 2016 so when I started in 2019 or so, I could still get Evolutions packs at a reasonable price and I had fun with the set. I never opened base set when it came out back in the day either so even more so I thought it was a fun rip.
Love XY Evolutions! It was the set that got me back into collecting Pokemon cards, and it was the first ever set I mastered!!! Thanks for opening a box for us Rev 🤩
I have always preferred this type of opening to the ones where he sells and opens packs for other people, it feels more fun with he pulls something for himself.
One thing I’ve always loved about these mega evolution sets are the Japanese letters translating the Pokémon’s move.
fun fact: the japanese versions of the mega cards have the english translation instead of the Japanese characters, which I thought was neat
Yeah that is SUCH a nice touch and vise versa for Japanese sets with the english.
SAME!
even the at for the normal EX cards during xy- sun and moon were awesome and worth collecting, the ex cards now or V cards are pretty lame
I love that this set used the old school base set art. The nostalgia it gives me of opening base set as a kid.
Agreed!
Crazy how much an evolutions booster box is, considering the price of the raw cards from this set
I was coming to say the same thing I just don't see the value
A PSA 10 Charizard Holo goes for thousands
@@HarryFromCypruslmao no it doesn’t, the holo zard from this goes for $350-400 in a 10
Um... the same goes for alot of set especially older even vintage so idk why Evo gets alot of hate 😅
Evolving skies booster box is around 700-800, at least you have a chance at a umbreon worth 1200 but that’s still a major risk lol
Number one community with zero cussing! Millions of followers 😊😊😊😊😊
AGREED!
Wish I was back into collecting when these were on shelves

True!
I can’t believe 2016 was eight years ago.
Pokémon x y evaluations is my FAV❤
as you said, this set was the base set for those who didn't collect back then or want to reminisce about the first days of pokemon card releases
OH YEAH!
Love the throwbacks with these
This was the set that got me back into the scene after YEARS of not messing with it !! Pure nostalgia
Love your videos. Seeing you got me back into collecting cards
I love watching the pack openings, I have autism and anxiety problems and these openings are doing the same effect as an ASMR video, I’m chilling and relaxing watching the cards.
Awesome!
I like when he opens these packs, these are always the most interesting videos😃 you should make a video on grading these.
Those were peak times. Pokemon Go at its height, Evolutions, pre-pandemic. Who knew things would tank after this...
Quit living in the past.. the future is now, old man.

I Know I Didn't!
I remember when Pokémon go was in its peak and everything was good and peaceful… oh how the good times roll
I miss this set. Love seeing you open these.
It should not be $800. The most expensive card is only 50 bucks
It’s definitely overhyped but a PSA 10 holo charizard regularly sells for over $1k which is mostly where the spike of value comes from
Not how sealed 8 year old bb work.

@@TheGP10 yea the only way you can really profit from this set is getting that charizard
@@qopiqq3629 The set is the most printed set ever. It was the cheapest set for years. Nobody wanted it before Logan Paul came from nowhere.
Great video as always. Yes, please do the follow up graded vid! 💪
Its been 8 years already?! Im getting old
I love the oldskool cards ❤

@@kaptanklutchI think you should ask Rev himself. I have no idea.
I'm A Fan Of This Set!
I love watching old card sets being opened ❤
I love it how he asked for a charzard and got one the next pack 😂
OH YEAH!

This is one of my favorite sets from this era so cool to see you rip a box
It's A Nice Set!
The older card designs are so nostalgic.
Love that set. XY breakthrough brings the most memories
Really cool to see an older set opened up :)
I like the yellow border much better
Returns are pretty rare in such packs but man the feeling when you open any old pack beats everything!
Some vintage stuff❤
Evolutions.... reminiscing times from almost 8 years ago...wow
I LOVED this set as a kid
These videos are what got me back into pack openings!!
I really like the Evolutions set art. Great Video!
Bro I love your energy! You got me into Pokemon cards again! Keep it up!
I miss that set. I wish I would have bought more of it back then.
So nostalgic seeing this cool old school artwork 👌 reminds me of opening the gen 1 set as a kid
Always fun to see Evolutions opened! Definitely would be cool to see how the hits grade!
Amazing throwback! Crazy how time flies man... have to enjoy it while we live in the moment!
I love watching evolutions being opened
Me Too!
I have always preferred this type of opening to the ones where he sells and opens packs for other people, it feels more fun with he pulls something for himself.
I love that old holo texture! I'd love if they brought it back for one of the modern sets :D
I missed this channel, I'm very happy to be back
You opened an $800 evolutions box as easy removing gum off the bottom of your shoe. Love it!
The Japanese letters are so crazy! I loved those! 🙌🏾
I haven't collected pokemon since I was a kid and now from watching youre videos I have started collecting again thank you man
It is nostalgia for many of us. I recently bought crown zenith packs. Waiting for it to deliver. So excited 🎉🎁
I remember opening XY as a lil boy. So much nostalgia
Nice box! Would love to open one
Loving the channel - my 2 boys and I are big fans and enjoy watching your content from Ipswich UK!
I've only opened a handful of Evolution packs actually. Nothing big yet.
Same Here!
I missed this set when it released. The card designs are great they really enhanced the orginal artwork.
Hell yeah, cant wait to see these graded 👌
One thing I like about this set is the secret rares not being in the rate slot.
I’d love to open this box 🎉
Just got back into buying packs and doing this stuff but when I was younger I remember watching pokerev all the time I love to see him still going
these booster boxes are insanely nostalgic
The holos in these packs look so good!
Such a great set. Gibes me the nostalgia vibes 👌🏻
I truly hope there is a follow up video of the graded hits
Nine years old wow! Crazy
everything u open makes me love pokemon more and more ty dude for all the amazing content!
The quality of your content now compared to the Gary Vee video (when I first watched you) has grown infinitely, great work!
Love this set! Brings me back to the good old days. The feeling of pulling a holo charizard would be incredible
Really nostalgic seeing base set cards🥲
What is the website to check the number of PSA 10’s?
the numbers on that chansey card are insane!!! i love how you showed us those stats!!
CTR’s favourite set I believe 👀🤣
Evolutions is such a banger set!! I used to open that all the time when I was a kid!
OH YEAH!
Thanks for all your hard work and great videos!
This set was great! I'm glad it was opened here.
Dude I just found you…no clue how it took so long. By far the best at opening cards haha. New sub!
Man I wish I hadn't missed this set. I absolutely love the old school artwork.
