This was my box that I put up through the mentioned auction site. I am extremely happy that it went to an actual collector after all said and done. Just now getting to see it be opened.
I apologize I mixed this comment up with my most recent video unboxing where I gambled on a maybe shadowless box opening. This box was definitely shadowless.
Definitely a mandatory divorce after how she opened those packs. My dude takes that ring back from her finger. Oh it won’t come off? Take the whole finger then.

I think he was only super nervous about keeping the cards in mint conditions, if you were a racer and had to let your wife do 3 laps in your place on your very expensive car during one of your most important races of your life you'd prob act like this too.
Insane how back in the day half of the holos he pulled were being thrown on the dirt of a kids school yard, incurring battle damage over years of hard use. I remember having a scuffed Mewtwo and a Gyarados acquired from a trade, while my buddy had two near perfect Charizards he won from a game of marbles. That's wild looking back now.
Yuppp. I remember I needed a Charizard and I just traded my buddy a blastoise and some other non holo card I had a bunch of for it. Def had a little scratch on the foil from use but hey I completed my set and didn’t pay a dime.
if they hadn’t been thrown in the dirt and damaged by most people, their value would not have been as much a snow as they would have been too common :D
I remember there was always a kid or two at school that treated their pokemon cards with great care. They always had them sleeved and would hardly play with them. Those kids are now adults with hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars worth of cards. One good Blastoise is six figures alone...
We hear the story so many times. But it's crazy how no one knew this would be valuable one day. I'm over here selling pokemon on pokemon go. Sold a Shiny perfect IV charzard for 500 bucks a few weeks ago. Crazy how people are so desperate for an item that has absolutely no investment value whatsoever. It's just the fact that it's a collectible instead of making things like land, resources, or knowledge more valuable. It blows my mind the idiocracy of the human species.

35:04 - You may have pulled some nice 'gems' from these packs but the real gem you've pulled is your wife. I love that she cheers you up and supports you when you saw those print lines on the Charizard. All the best to both of you.
That breath you take before the first pack is great. Really hits home the gravity of opening such a valuable and historic product. Looking forward to more content, and would love to see some Neo sets or Aquapolis/Skyridge!
I will never forget the day I pulled a base set Charizard from a pack I bought at 7/11 when I was roughly 8/9 years old. One of the most memorable moments of my life.
My dad gave me £2 to get 2 packs when I was around 5. Each one had a shiny charizard. I didn't know much about pokemon cards, and my neighbour tricked me into trading one for a seal and a super potion. Not that it matters, the rest of my cards seem to have disappeared into the abyss 🥲
Seeing this is so bittersweet for me. I used to be an insane Pokémon card collector in the early 2000s in 5th-8th grade. Had a few binders full of cards including a ton of holos. My house was hit by a really bad storm and the entire basement flooded to the ceiling . The binders were down there and got completely soaked and got thrown away by a company that came to clean the basement afterwards. I still think about those binders all the time and imagine what super rare cards I might have had and not known about at the time.
I think all collectors have some deep pain about their past cards as a child. Thus we try to make up for it in the present. I’d say 4-5 years ago shit hit the tan in my household and ended up having to move everything out. I made SURE to bring those cards. All of them. One big box. Put them in the basement of my grandmothers house and never found them since. I searched that entire basement.
I remember my first ever Pokemon pack when I was like 7 had a holo shadowless Charizard, granted I probably put it through the ringer as a kid 😂 I also remember having 3 BEWD from LOB. Lost em all in a flood too. Shit sucks 😂
This was really fun to watch! I had a VERY rough childhood and I remember drawing my own set of pokemon cards to play pokemon with myself (no joke) because I was so invested in the game but had no way to get cards.. I had forgotten how much I loved the card game more than the video game even until my son who is level 2(moderate) autistic started saying pikachu over and over. He must have seen a youtube video or something. So I tracked down the early episodes of pokemon and when he actually screamed in fear for pikachu when the spearow attacked him I knew he was invested. I had never seen him show any emotion in that way because he doesn't usually display that sort of thing even most happy emotions. Anyways I bought a few hundred random cards for him and hes having a blast so I just ordered some packs for him to open. I'm not wealthy so I just got the cheapest modern stuff. My son loves watching unboxing videos with me (including this one) and its been a great way to bond since its very hard to find things hes interested in doing WITH someone. I cant wait to get the packs in and see him react to them! Thanks again for the great video!
i dont know you obviously. but i want to say, its very nice and beautiful from you, whats going through your mind and you are doing the best you can for your relationship. never lose that, and teach it to as many people as you can. best of luck to you and enjoy the openings :D
@@chickenbob562 thank you! And yes he had so much fun opening them and even got a Pikachu he was so excited 😂. I had fun too! Your comment made my day today thanks!
Imagine having $93,000 worth of rare collectible artwork and then letting someone, who couldn’t care less about the art nor even just the material cost, start thumbing through it like it’s a deck of Uno
On my 8th birthday I opened TWO of these.. what a time to be alive… still to this day I have my big 3 and in 2020 I found my 2 binders from 2002 and before. I was into collecting master sets. And let’s just say- yeah I have quite the collection
lmao didnt expect to see u commenting here but now it explains why i got this recommended to me. also dam man chill work ur way up to a shadowless pack lol, rip some cheaper vintage first lol ill be waitin to see those vids man
Also curious if he ever mentions this, sold a tech company in the 90s and living the dream? Paid 93k on this box and says 100k+ on that Charizard, in addition to everything else 😂, wild.

The smell of cracking Magic and Pokemon cards in the mid to late 90s is one of the most nostalgia inducing feelings I could ever get. What I would give to experience that again except all these packs are so dang expensive now.
They were way more enjoyable back then tho, i know they're worth money now, but the excitement and thrill of having a charizard in the nineties as a kid.Was better than being an old man having some extra cash
@@erickzamora921 The one thing you don't do with valuable collectables is wear gloves. It's actually worse to do that. Most places like museums and such that handle old objects that are fragile like books and such will not allow you to wear gloves. Only for rare things the you body oil may hurt, which is not much.
You should definitely do a Pokémon card wall in the house. Congratulations for doing whatever you do to be able to afford to enjoy your hobby and for having a wife who obviously supports you and enjoys the hibby as well.
I know what a condescending gold digger. She's just mad she didn't get a new Rolex. She was so disrespectful to her husband when she should be supporting him him. him.
I especially love how the holo patterns are all shiny and clean. Nice to see how they were supposed to look in the first place compared to the scratched and played base set holo cards.
I whole heartedly understand what your saying... Watching the chick open those packs drove my nerves to another level and they aren't even my cards. Lol She used pressure on the cards to peel the foil. 🤦
I thought HE wasnt being careful enough and she steps in being so rough opening the packs. a few cringe moments... but thanks for sharing this epic opening!!!
@@pokehex5555he isn't wrong, your wife gave me anxiety opening the packs at times. I would say, you both put your thumbs on the holos, they scratch and leave finger print marks so easy. Great video though 👍
@@gregogresky4286I mean at 100k, he is would’ve needed to pull 3 charizards and have them graded 10s to even make his money back. This was a lose no matter what.
Geeeez, watchin this brought back so many memories. I remember in early middle school having basically the set of holos.. i had them sleeved and everything in my binder. obviously i was a huge fan, just loved how i had them in their order and just stared at them lol.. Then years past, I was in my early 20s and I completely forgot about them.. and then i happen to remember and i asked my mom what she did with them.. she said she gave them away.. A part of me died lol.. and then seein what these eventually became makes me feel proud i legit had a crazy expensive collection as a kid lol... Nothing will ever beat saving my money, buyin my packs, and then eventually like most kids dream of. Pullin that Charizard. Thank you for the video & your collection is immaculate!
man I had all of those, hundreds of them and my mother sold them at a garage sale after I moved out of home. though they wouldn't be worth anything seeing as I played with the cards every day and we didn't have slips back then 👌
Look at the Caterpie Hp It’s an error bc The HP is Infront of the number 10:50 And the vulpix look at its HP It’s Hp is supposed to be after the number 10:54 and the metapod at 23:22
I got SO excited when you started to peel off the plastic!!! It was the same feeling I get when I open a booster box, but this one is in another league of its own!! This is awesome man, thanks for sharing!!!
What a pleasant stroll down memory lane. I had 1st edition of every holo as a kid in middle school. I sold my 1st edition Charizard for $80 to buy Donkey Kong 64 when it was released in 1999. At the time it was worth only $100-120. A few years later I ended up selling my entire binder of Pokemon cards at a garage sale for a painfully stupid amount, I basically gave them away. I want to say for $15. Definitely less than $50. At that time I remember everyone I knew saying they weren't worth anything anymore and it was "just a fad like Beanie Babies" and that sadly became my final verdict. Looking back, it's one of very few true regrets I have. Oh well, live and learn I guess.
Some guy ripped me off at a garage sale at my grandma's when I was about 11. $35 for the whole binder instead of $35 for a shiny Clefable because he took advantage of me. Bad dude.
I will definitely not laugh and scoff at my child for what she is into, i will support anything and watch her come out on top. Parents who Think they know best and reading these stories, complete morons who dont understand markets and trends. Hell i ask my 11 yo nephew all the time what he is into, guess what? Its STILL pokemon.
As someone who’s never played or watched Pokemane I think this hysterical.. “Ah yes, a PS 10 Chubonkasaurus.. usually worth $72,000… And of course this Jojokuckamonga worth $5 grand” 😂😂super fun to watch watch high AF lol
I’m watching this video and I yelled “venosaur!!!” And my wife stared at me like I was crazy. I told her “he doesn’t have a PSA 10 venosaur yet, I’m so happy for him. He got a Chansey too” lol
My son 8 just got into pokemon cards and now i cant stop watching videos hahah. I might be spending some money now to help finish some sets for my quote " son "
I gave up on the pretext and just started my own binder. My daughter and I have an agreement not to touch each others binders haha she says hers are better because all my cards are old 😂
Worth is a weird definition, because lets be honest they arent worth shit. But then again yes they are because appearantly there are idiots who pay tons of money for these pieces of paper. But are they worth that in a normal persons mind? Come on now no. Do I like pokemon and do I think a charizard card of way back then is cool? Yeah sure. 100k cool? No lmao more like 10 euro cool
@@MCB400100anything that isn’t food, shelter or medicine isn’t "worth shit”. You can apply your logic to pretty much anything. It’s such a boring take at the end of the day.
@@Teih. I see what you're saying, but I wasnt going there. Because I think lots of stuff that isnt necesairly needed to survive, is worth the money. Vacations, phones, comfortable chairs, nice televisions, decorations that you like. Anything really. Its not needed, but its more worth the money than a pokemon card with these crazy prices. If I imagine I have everything I need and theres barely a thing I can think of that I would like to buy. I would still not buy a card like this over 50 dollars, even if I was interested in it. Thats how off this price is with the actual value imo.
I have so many old Pokémon cards that I want to sell and definitely some rare ones. But how do I go about selling them? They are already opened as well.
She awkwardly supports it, when she passively commented/jokes about the 9k raichu it was clear she doesn't feels good about spending all those money for a card, she doesn't like it or get it but she let's him anyway because she prob is cared for anyway.
I opened so much of this stuff as a 9/10 year old. Wish I had a fraction of what I had back then. Crazy to think my parents kept all my bs baseball/hockey cards which are worthless now and tossed my pokemon card binders that were loaded 😅
I will NEVER understand or feel any sort of solidarity with parents who toss out things that aren't theirs without ASKING the kid, I hear it all the time, it even happened to me
The exact same happened to me when i was young! Had binders full of old pokemon and yu gi oh cards that my parents just gave out to little cousins and guarantee had multiple super expensive cards! Now im stuck with a crap ton of hockey/football/baseball cards that are worthless. I feel ur pain lol
That's OK I had a base master set that my aunt "held on to" until I got older. She gave me barely any cards and their German and like 40 gym hero cards sucks.
I'm so jealous you get to open a box like this! And it must be super cool having a girlfriend who thinks buying these pokemon boxes is so cool as well. You are a legend! Keep pokeing my dude!
@@lupercal8997 that's for the viewers.. these people are clearly multi millionaires. He just said he spent over 100 grand on that Charizard. Anyone who can spend 100 grand on one Pokemon card doesn't care about money.

I still have a loooooooot of cards, talking meters of pretty much only first gen stuff. Lots of holos and whatnot, no idea what it's actually worth. haha 😂 Like, the pokemons in the background, got several copies of most of them. It's all in some boxes. lol

35:04 - You may have pulled some nice 'gems' from these packs but the real gem you've pulled is your wife.
I love that she cheers you up and supports you when you saw those print lines on the Charizard. All the best to both of you.
That breath you take before the first pack is great. Really hits home the gravity of opening such a valuable and historic product. Looking forward to more content, and would love to see some Neo sets or Aquapolis/Skyridge!
To think as kids we just ripped these open like nothing.
Bro watching your wife bend these packs and slide them against each other knowing it was a 93k box gives me anxiety
For real tho
I wanted to scream watching her do it lol. I guess when you got "fuck it" money like they do it doesn't matter.
Such a disrespectful woman... Rings on fingers, bending cards, throwing them around. Drunken slur... Belittling words
So much anxiety, wish she wasn’t there. Poor guy. I do appreciate that she appears supportive of him though.
For me, it was having to see him put his thumb directly onto the foil of almost every holo he pulled.
I will never forget the day I pulled a base set Charizard from a pack I bought at 7/11 when I was roughly 8/9 years old. One of the most memorable moments of my life.
Bruh I pulled a damn Charizard and my brother pressured me in to a trade then sold it. Dumbasssss
@@SvenChobaI sold a whole pack of holos for 20.00 to a neighborhood kid because I was moving across town. That's my 1 truly good deed. 😌
you were the king of recess showing off that bad boy the next day I know lol
Well technically you did forget what day it was 😂 you remember the memory of getting when you were 8/9
My dad gave me £2 to get 2 packs when I was around 5. Each one had a shiny charizard. I didn't know much about pokemon cards, and my neighbour tricked me into trading one for a seal and a super potion. Not that it matters, the rest of my cards seem to have disappeared into the abyss 🥲
dude when she took over opening i wanted to cry
it hurt my soul
Shit even he manhandled all the packs getting them out of the box
For Real, what a freaking disgrace
She was putting her fingers on it and just damaging them by opening it liké sh*t
Seeing this is so bittersweet for me. I used to be an insane Pokémon card collector in the early 2000s in 5th-8th grade. Had a few binders full of cards including a ton of holos. My house was hit by a really bad storm and the entire basement flooded to the ceiling . The binders were down there and got completely soaked and got thrown away by a company that came to clean the basement afterwards. I still think about those binders all the time and imagine what super rare cards I might have had and not known about at the time.
I think my mom sold my binders in a yard sale back in the day 😢
I think all collectors have some deep pain about their past cards as a child. Thus we try to make up for it in the present. I’d say 4-5 years ago shit hit the tan in my household and ended up having to move everything out. I made SURE to bring those cards. All of them. One big box. Put them in the basement of my grandmothers house and never found them since. I searched that entire basement.
All good people. Just do it with your kids now🙌
I remember my first ever Pokemon pack when I was like 7 had a holo shadowless Charizard, granted I probably put it through the ringer as a kid 😂 I also remember having 3 BEWD from LOB. Lost em all in a flood too. Shit sucks 😂
@@UncleDaddy-p8e trying to teach the lil bro how to open packs with me lol. I don’t wanna yell every minute about being careful with the cards.

Seems like its not that big of a deal to him because he is used to spending tenda of thousands on singles. Probably wealthy
I mean he spent 100k on a single card, that psa 10 charizard.. this is small potatoes for him
This was really fun to watch! I had a VERY rough childhood and I remember drawing my own set of pokemon cards to play pokemon with myself (no joke) because I was so invested in the game but had no way to get cards.. I had forgotten how much I loved the card game more than the video game even until my son who is level 2(moderate) autistic started saying pikachu over and over. He must have seen a youtube video or something. So I tracked down the early episodes of pokemon and when he actually screamed in fear for pikachu when the spearow attacked him I knew he was invested. I had never seen him show any emotion in that way because he doesn't usually display that sort of thing even most happy emotions.
Anyways I bought a few hundred random cards for him and hes having a blast so I just ordered some packs for him to open. I'm not wealthy so I just got the cheapest modern stuff. My son loves watching unboxing videos with me (including this one) and its been a great way to bond since its very hard to find things hes interested in doing WITH someone. I cant wait to get the packs in and see him react to them! Thanks again for the great video!
i dont know you obviously.
but i want to say, its very nice and beautiful from you, whats going through your mind and you are doing the best you can for your relationship.
never lose that, and teach it to as many people as you can.

The lovely banter between you two made this video, so you know. The cards just added. Wish you the best.

The smell of cracking Magic and Pokemon cards in the mid to late 90s is one of the most nostalgia inducing feelings I could ever get. What I would give to experience that again except all these packs are so dang expensive now.
I don't know how available they were in the mid-90s
Pokemon has become opening packs to sell them for a profit not collecting anymore. That's coming from a guy who's collected Pokemon cards for 15 years

Yo amazing to see an actual collector making a video like this
Thank you, is there anything you would like to see me video?
What hurts the most is remembering buying these in 1999 and just ripping them open..
They were way more enjoyable back then tho, i know they're worth money now, but the excitement and thrill of having a charizard in the nineties as a kid.Was better than being an old man having some extra cash

And treated even the non holo rares as an energy card. You take care of each one as if it’s a charizard imo.
@@erickzamora921 The one thing you don't do with valuable collectables is wear gloves. It's actually worse to do that.

Geeeez, watchin this brought back so many memories. I remember in early middle school having basically the set of holos.. i had them sleeved and everything in my binder.
obviously i was a huge fan, just loved how i had them in their order and just stared at them lol..
Then years past, I was in my early 20s and I completely forgot about them.. and then i happen to remember and i asked my mom what she did with them.. she said she gave them away..
A part of me died lol.. and then seein what these eventually became makes me feel proud i legit had a crazy expensive collection as a kid lol...
Nothing will ever beat saving my money, buyin my packs, and then eventually like most kids dream of. Pullin that Charizard.

Such a beautiful piece of our childhoods… also I cringed so hard when you let her open packs lmao
What a pleasant stroll down memory lane. I had 1st edition of every holo as a kid in middle school. I sold my 1st edition Charizard for $80 to buy Donkey Kong 64 when it was released in 1999. At the time it was worth only $100-120. A few years later I ended up selling my entire binder of Pokemon cards at a garage sale for a painfully stupid amount, I basically gave them away. I want to say for $15. Definitely less than $50. At that time I remember everyone I knew saying they weren't worth anything anymore and it was "just a fad like Beanie Babies" and that sadly became my final verdict. Looking back, it's one of very few true regrets I have. Oh well, live and learn I guess.
Some guy ripped me off at a garage sale at my grandma's when I was about 11. $35 for the whole binder instead of $35 for a shiny Clefable because he took advantage of me. Bad dude.
My parents gave away my entire collection as a teenager because according to them I was already too old for that 😂
Why have so many kids be willing to just let go of their childhood. Thats your first mistake.
I will definitely not laugh and scoff at my child for what she is into, i will support anything and watch her come out on top. Parents who Think they know best and reading these stories, complete morons who dont understand markets and trends. Hell i ask my 11 yo nephew all the time what he is into, guess what? Its STILL pokemon.
Did the same thing man. Must of have 3 halo 1st edition charizards at one time. Sold my whole lot for an n64 and skate shoes
As someone who’s never played or watched Pokemane I think this hysterical..

Worth is a weird definition, because lets be honest they arent worth shit. But then again yes they are because appearantly there are idiots who pay tons of money for these pieces of paper.

I opened so much of this stuff as a 9/10 year old. Wish I had a fraction of what I had back then. Crazy to think my parents kept all my bs baseball/hockey cards which are worthless now and tossed my pokemon card binders that were loaded 😅
I will NEVER understand or feel any sort of solidarity with parents who toss out things that aren't theirs without ASKING the kid, I hear it all the time, it even happened to me

That's OK I had a base master set that my aunt "held on to" until I got older. She gave me barely any cards and their German and like 40 gym hero cards sucks.
