Lol my 5 year old son just snuck out of bed to show me your channel lol ...its 10.00 at night an hes been hiding under his covers watching this and playing pokemon ruby ..im proud of u son ...just like me as a kid
Ur kid reminds me of myself..game boy color with the worm light playing pokemon red 11pm on school night with my charizard trying to catch mewtwo without masterball...best time of my life
It's disappointing that the English cards don't have the same borders as the Japanese. The shiny borders create a unique card which could justify the price. It doesn't seem as high quality without it
I honestly want to like the English versions more because it's what I grew up on but the Japanese cards are just so clean. I love the holo border and the vibrantness of the Japanese cards
Japanese colours are much more vibrant but having the yellow borders gives it that nostalgia and I definitely prefer that. Voltorb was an amazing card too!
I love both! The yellow borders are so nice! But those holo borders on the Japanese cards hit different. And the difference in how vibrant the English and Japanese cards is insane!
I think the sparkly borders on the Japanese version give them a little extra touch, but the English cards still look amazing. Thanks for opening this and sharing with us, it's super cool!
I prefer the regular yellow borders. I remember as a kid wanting to get certain commons/uncommons in holo like Charmander (I didn't understand only rares got holo 😅) so this just slaps. Fulfills that desire from 20+ years ago!
I really like both English and Japanese, I don't mind that English doesn't have the holo borders because it actually makes it look more old school for me
Magic 30 should've been like this. The decks, the layout, everything. $400 for something really, really cool as opposed to $1K for a few packs of sadness.
Very cool to see these beautiful artworks! But you can see the Japanese big 3 the Pokémon are a bit more “zoomed in” than the English side by side. Preference for me are those sparkly Japanese borders, the feel is a bit more classy and upscale than the English version.
I personally love the original borders! Also liked that they didn't put the base starters on the front- less likely to have damage. The contrast between the colors is just like the original base set unlimited english vs japanese base set. Love it.
These are so cool just not what I'm looking for in pokemon! Just rather buy packs, blisters, booster boxes, to complete my sets. Love your content and what you do for us poke heads!
Just preordered for myself. Now that I’m older I’ve been waiting for a box like this to have all the base set originals in one. $400 is a small price to pay to relive my childhood. It’ll be a great Christmas present to open for myself. Excited!
I feel ya man if I was gonna shell out 4 to 500 it would be on the og versions not jus another reprint they are kool n beautiful cards but I prefer the old 1s I had as a kid. This might be kool 4 collectors with a lot of cash 2 throw around unfortunately that ain't me gotta save up 4 stuff.
I was not going to buy this set but I think I will now! Just looking at the upgraded holos they did is outstanding, these are how the newer cards should look too, I get they want to go in a different direction with Scarlet and Violet but I personally think they should do a full new set with the classic card designs it be so nostalgic ❤
crazy collection box!! i think they are now pricing based on some of the past collection box resale values... crazy stuff!! WOULD LOVE TO OPEN WITH MY SON!! good luck everyone
English man. the yellow brings back that nostalgia for those cards like Squirtle, and Wartortle. Cards we had as kids but NOW they are holographic, it makes them feel a little more special. The Japanese cards are quite attractive there is no doubt there, it brings out the "Ooooooh Shiny!" in me yet i still love to see that solid yellow border. When i was a kid and the EX cards started coming out, I collected a few but I stopped buying them because I didn't like the lines at the bottom of the card that you could swipe into the E reader thing.. stupid me though, because if i wouldn't have stopped i'm sure i would have a decent collection of classic cards. I'm half tempted to buy this just to hang on to for 20 years
Gotta say, Rev when I first seen these I was disappointed the English cards weren’t getting the shiny borders. But after seeing them on camera I prefer the English prints for the more classic look as you mentioned which means a lot to me as I started collecting at 10 with Base set and prefer the traditional look that’s just a little more spicy.
I have always like the Japanese cards with the Silver boarders. I am glad to see English move in that direction. Holo on the edges would make more sense for the price, but all the cars look sick.
isn't it just really cool how Mitsuhiro Arita has been one of the main artists for the TCG since the 1st gen? another veteran would be yuka morii, which I (am pretty sure) worked on the expedition set.
Ended up buying the Japanese version after watching you open it. The cards are so vibrant and sparkly, but it's nice seeing the English side to it as well.
For me personally, the yellow borders represent nostalgia and just give off an amazing old school vibe but those japanese silver border trainer cards are fucking gorgeous
Both sets have the positives. The Japanese set with the shiny borders but thd english set looks more old school, really going for the classic look ❤ . I'm not sure I'd part with 400 quid for the set.
From the standpoint of nostalgia as an American consumer, I don’t mind the yellow borders because it’s closer to the way they were originally printed in english
I'm not a long-time collector or even knowledgeable on anything Pokémon but if "value" was equal across the board, Japanese cards would be the way I would lean towards. In my opinion, the overall quality of the cards is night and day when compared to the English versions. To me, it almost feels like the English market is based on financial gain and massive turnarounds, whereas the Japanese market seems to be more focused on the beauty and quality of the product.
I believe the English version missed a golden opportunity. Like literally they could have done a gold sparkle border to contrast the silver Japanese one. Or at least not use the silver sparkle version randomly?!? Plus, English sparkle was soooo distracting like the lapras and Chansey were very hard to see. The og starters look too much like celebrations imo. Thanks rev for the video and giveaway!
Let’s just all appreciate how much money he spent on this package just for use guys y’all need to subscribe to him this guy deserves 20 million subscribers
Ive been following this collection box all year and finally purchased it at what i think is the lowest price. Sam's Club has it for $194, non members have to pay $20 extra at checkout but it brings it just under $250 after tax and shipping. I think its a great deal at that price
I’m sad the borders aren’t the same. Also sad that I assumed that these would be very underwhelming for the price tag but I do like them but $400 in this economy is steep 😭 Thanks so much for giving us a chance again to see what this special product would look like. Great content Rev 🤘🏾
Every card being a holo is so cool to me. I think the Japanese sparkling boarders are better in my opinion because this is a special set/purchase so they do it for the zing and attractive matter. The classic yellow is nostalgically awesome. However, there is something to a special set and the zing it gives for the japanese version.
At first we thought the English version wouldn't have the holo pattern since the scans didn't have the holo, I'm glad it does. Although it's the classic tale of Japanese cards is ALWAYS better than English in both quality and printing.
I agree that the words on the border makes the cards look cheap and almost like they’re not legit. Glad you compared them though! I’m learning Japanese so ima make it a goal to keep going in learning Japanese to the point that I can read Pokémon cards and I’ll reward myself with the Japanese version! Thanks! I like how you compared them!!!
Kinda ended up Preorder on a night out, for some reason probably Nostalgia, it must of been on my mind. Does anyone think these sets will go up in Value?
Voltorb and electrode are the first two cards I bought from this box, I always thought that electrode should have been holo when I was a kid and now finally seeing it holo is impressive!
The Japanese cards in my opinion look so much better, but if the English box came out with nothing to compare it to, I would think they were the coolest cards ever.
I like the fact the Japanese and English cards have differences, the Japanese border looks more impressive, but somehow lacks the nostalgia of the classic English border. The Japanese printing equipment seems to be of substantially higher quality? The depth of color in the Japanese Artworks stands out when put against a comparative English card. Regardless it is still such a cool product!
The kids and I love your vids, we kinda,sorta try to do what you do in the great far north. Kanuck Family Channel. Way lower budget productions but we look up to you and hope to one day be like you.
Lol my 5 year old son just snuck out of bed to show me your channel lol ...its 10.00 at night an hes been hiding under his covers watching this and playing pokemon ruby ..im proud of u son ...just like me as a kid

Agree
I agree. Looks like they cheaped out hard for a $400 box.
I was about to post the same thing. I invested into the Japanese set. Still on the border for this one.
wow

I honestly want to like the English versions more because it's what I grew up on but the Japanese cards are just so clean. I love the holo border and the vibrantness of the Japanese cards
Big nostalgia hit from this
I personally am put off completely by the foil borders xD
Funny how taste works.
It's supposed to be like the original. Holo borders would ruin the English version. Pokemon got it right.
@@Jr_Northsame
@@christophermillett2273fr
they did this for celebrations too re: the borders. at least they're consistent i guess haha
yea, they're consistent... consistently worse than the Japanese version! haha
yoo jarvis
i like how the Japanese version is more visibly pleasing and the Pokémon are magnified a little more with that holo border is just amazing.
Japanese colours are much more vibrant but having the yellow borders gives it that nostalgia and I definitely prefer that. Voltorb was an amazing card too!
I love both! The yellow borders are so nice! But those holo borders on the Japanese cards hit different. And the difference in how vibrant the English and Japanese cards is insane!
Picking up what ur laying down but I wish it was sup other then yellow.... it would be nice if each Lang had a different border 😊 ❤❤
I think the sparkly borders on the Japanese version give them a little extra touch, but the English cards still look amazing. Thanks for opening this and sharing with us, it's super cool!
Congrats on 📦 !!

Exactly!
thats a good point
That was exactly their intention. Each card has the border it had at original printing. Hence the switch card having a different border
Sometimes it’s nice to miss a week of videos to have a bunch of great content to watch all at once.
Magic 30 should've been like this. The decks, the layout, everything. $400 for something really, really cool as opposed to $1K for a few packs of sadness.
Man what a holiday gift this could be for someone. I hope a lot of people have a good Christmas with this product!
Awesome! It must be super nostalgic to go back to these cards. Glad I’m here to watch!
This box is now at 198 at Sam’s club🙏🏾
Wish I had the opportunity to open this myself and see how sick these cards look in person. They look so good!

What a box, 400 dollars is crazy expensive, but every single card in the deck is amazing. The holo pattern is so unique and beautiful.
the charizard goes for a solid 100 so its not a total loss
@@soulsreaper7145screw you resellers. The whole set is worth for someone who a massive tcg/collector fan
Japanese versions absolutely crush the English cards. That border is insane
Still on the fence about buying this box, I wonder if it’s worth it!

These are gonna be mad expensive going forward

Amazing video❤
Just disappointed with not having the shiny borders like the Japanese ones😢.
This is just insane, while I don't think I will ever get this box, but it is so nice just seeing you open it up and go through it.

It’s crazy how you stay updated on everything new!
It’s kind of his job…

Just getting back into collecting. This box takes me back
Dude I almost want to buy it. These cards are breathtaking
Bro ever since you brought up the writing on the bottom of the card I realized it’s on every card not just those and I now I can’t unsee it lol
Yo I loved this it looks amazing keep the pulls flowing bro!
Braixen on rule 34 foes harder tho!!

$400 is more than I can imagine spending on most things
Definitely going to increase in value though
@@hanedormJust bought 2 for $180 each at local card shop. Fire sale
I wanted to get this so bad, I just can’t justify the price
Exactly my thoughts. Feels a bit like a scam haha
Just opened my box, I loved it but I couldn't help feeling slightly disappointed with the lack of "Pokemon" cards especially for £399.
If you would’ve waited 10months you would’ve got it for $194.76
True, but I don’t think it will drop below 350, at least not within the first ten months.
234 pounds now on Amazon
@@Wolfeyes837 using exchange rates from Nov. 11th, £234 = CAD419.78 = USD 302.24
280 euros in Germany.... I think I will buy it. I mean I will probably not get it cheaper.
Why is it not tournament legal?
crazy collection box!! i think they are now pricing based on some of the past collection box resale values... crazy stuff!! WOULD LOVE TO OPEN WITH MY SON!! good luck everyone
Pope Rev
13:56 at least they didn't print the cards with a different back. I much prefer the discreet text
Can't hate that the English borders are a non-holo yellow bcuz it brings back the original look.
Thanks for doing this opening!
English man. the yellow brings back that nostalgia for those cards like Squirtle, and Wartortle. Cards we had as kids but NOW they are holographic, it makes them feel a little more special.

So im looking to buy one online but it doesnt specify.. How do you tell if a box is the english version or not?
If your in a English speaking place it’s most probably going to be English version
If you sent some cards off to get graded would having that slight bend effect the grading?
I have always like the Japanese cards with the Silver boarders. I am glad to see English move in that direction. Holo on the edges would make more sense for the price, but all the cars look sick.
Wow this was very interesting, it’s insane how the Japanese and the English version are different, I wish the quality was up to par on the Japanese.
Nice to see the English and Japanese cards comparison. The color is so much nicer on the JP cards
isn't it just really cool how Mitsuhiro Arita has been one of the main artists for the TCG since the 1st gen? another veteran would be yuka morii, which I (am pretty sure) worked on the expedition set.
The nostalgia is strong with this one
Ended up buying the Japanese version after watching you open it. The cards are so vibrant and sparkly, but it's nice seeing the English side to it as well.
Where did you buy from? Everything I see is on eBay for $600
For me personally, the yellow borders represent nostalgia and just give off an amazing old school vibe but those japanese silver border trainer cards are fucking gorgeous
I like they kept the original borders on these! Although the boxes are so expensive I doubt I’ll pick one up
Both sets have the positives. The Japanese set with the shiny borders but thd english set looks more old school, really going for the classic look ❤ . I'm not sure I'd part with 400 quid for the set.
I think I prefer the OG borders this time. It just feels right with the REAL OGs. It is the classic collection and not the flashy collection. 😎
The Japanese box definitely is better quality and cards look better, but the nostalgia of the English is awesome!!!
Honestly it's a really pretty box with really pretty cards, but the price!! I'm not sure if this is something I would go out of my way to purchase.
Glad people like you are here to open these expensive sets
From the standpoint of nostalgia as an American consumer, I don’t mind the yellow borders because it’s closer to the way they were originally printed in english
The borders on the Japanese cards are so cool! But I like the English as well. Some of the Japanese ones look almost too saturated in color
If I'm going to be spending $400 on a bunch of paper squares I damn well better be getting every ounce of glitter.
I like how you present the styrofoam to the camera like it’s a card 😂

I kind of like the Japanese borders over the original yellow, but hey can’t beat the OG!
why are blastoise charizard and venasaur so big on the japanese versions? they dont fit in the frame

What is the different that you can tell it's a classic and not a 1 edition Charizard and other? It says Classic where? Does it say classic on it? 7:31

Got an unsealed classic collection box. Should I keep it unsealed or crack it open and get the cards graded by PSA?!
Keep it sealed
