@@nikohnikohkneecaps it sure was. I'm old enough. 35 years old and I remember my class mates arguing about which edition was better, and which ones they had. While I'm sitting there wondering wtf they are going crazy over these stupid cartoons printed on cards. I was a baseball card collector so..😅
@pringals420 same! I'm 35. I had a massive collection and didn't treat my cards the best. I even knew a kid that have a filled page of Charizard 1st edition and someone at school stole them. I hope he's OK today 😅
Yeah.. He's really never been used aside from the ONE gym leader from the first games.. Like I seldom have ever seen anyone bust a Raichu out in online battles or anyhting of the like, not even link cable battles back in the day. Always kinda felt like a Lt. Surge exclusive Pokemon that doesn't exist outside of him LOL
I always imagined the Zapdos at the Power Plant appearing with the same artwork as the card. It's like Ken Sugimori was recreating the first encounter with Zapdos. Love that card so much
I'm willing to bet the Clefable and Raichu being on that uncut sheet was due to them originally being used for Prereleases for Base Set and Jungle, despite not having the stamps. I know the Raichu is like the holy grail of Pokemon TCG collecting outside of the Illustrator Pikachu so that would be super-cool to own but uncut sheets are still really nice. Wish they used those as prizing for side-events at Pokemon TCG Regionals sort of how Yugioh does with their uncut Starlight Rare sheets.
@Leonhart - I think the most nostalgic thing in opening these, is to have the childhood feeling over and over again. It's been this feeling to live through the times when you felt what you just felt looking at these cards and collecting them with others as a kid. Especially when you loved the anime in the past. It's just pure enjoyment.
Every vintage opening makes my nose remember the smell of wizards of the coast cards. Unforgettable just like the first time I pulled Scyther, always my fave🎉
Raichu is my absolute favorite holo. 1st edition and BS2 bring back so many memories from my childhood it’s amazing. Now almost 40 Pokémon will always hold a special place in my heart! Thank you for everything you do!
It makes a lot of sense that the Raichu next to the clefable would be a pre-release also. That makes tremendous sense to me because I absolutely unequivocally remember seeing a pre-release Raichu in 1999 at my local comic store!!!
It's always so much fun to watch those vintage openings❤️🔥 @LeonHart please keep on doing more of those 🙏🙏 and never been lucky enough to win anything but my favorite BS2 would be the first one you pulled actually the Zapdos holo ! Gotta love those legendary birds 🥰 the Ninetails is fire too.
People are not risking it now, just have the whole box scanned. It’s $75+ to have them scanned and if no charizard just resale get another. That is what people are doing now
That Zapdos card reminded me of my best friend, when we used to trade and play with Pokemon cards over 20 years ago. Last month my passion got reignited and i started opening packs again, i even found my old card collection! Zapdos was and still is one of my favorite legendaries of all time, and best one of "The Birds". Would love to have that one! Anyways, great video as always, im happy to see you still have a lot of passion towards Pokemon and bringing it all for us to see :)
what’s not to love about a Scyther BS2 holo 💚 aside from that, having “ten” by fredagainagainagain in the background makes it 10x sweeter. Sending love LH & thank you for doing you

My husband & I just recently discovered your channel, and your videos bring us so much joy!! We couldn't believe you pulled the Scyther, he's my all time favorite with the most epic artwork!
I havent seen, opened or touched these cards since 1999-2000 when i was a kid, but seeing thid today and i can still remember how the cards used to smell when you opened a fresh pack. Damn. Thanks for this.
@@Slurpverson well I collected the first gen Pokemon when they were coming out. I had probably 2 sets all originals including idk 5 charizards at that point. Pokémon cards from the original film release, airline Pokémon cards, Japanese of the original line. I also had multiple of the island sets that came in packs of 3. Anyways my younger brother much younger. So when I was 20 and not living at home anymore, he was 7, and my stepdad just let him rip through and “play with my belongings”. They all got destroyed and or thrown out 😂
You hold the cards in the absolute worst way possible; you don't need to cup them. If I were grading that Charizard and saw you opening and holding it like that, I'd rate it an 8 out of spite.
Hello from Malaysia! Love your content and just recently my nephew started to like Pokemon so I showed him your videos and he LOVED it. Thank you and we were watching this video together and he loved the Ninetails pull. Thank you for the video and hope that we will enjoy more in the near future.
Half of all Pokémon cards ever printed have been since March 2020. These cards are increasingly rare and obscure, long being made illegal in any competitive format. But they’ll always hold a place in the heart of people who lived in a world before Pokemon.
Let's gooo Leon!!! I would say my favorite one you pulled was Scyther for sure! Was my favorite card as a kid and still my favorite as a adult. Love it! Awesome video as always Leon! ❤
Don't need a thing from you, I just wanted to tell you I love you man. You are so incredible for all the strives you've pushed through, changes you faced, and redirecting didn't mean you stopped moving forward. Again, your positivity echos in me for ever man. You. Rekindled so many connections just spreading your videos to my friends and fams. Thank you man. So much care towards you and your future. And hope you don't have any rainy days moving forward. Zard is close!
I've never touched a Pokemon card in my life but I've been a fan since childhood watching your videos are so nostalgic and exciting! Love the alakazam! Thanks for the awesome videos
Absolutely love your videos Leonhart! My favourite holo was the Zapdos, such a legendary card 😁 Thank you for always making such great content, can't imagine how busy you are between being a parent and making TH-cam videos!
I too get nostalgia also when I look at that raunchy art. Maybe I had it when I was younger, a lot of my memories when I was a kid are tucked away in a high shelf where no one can reach somewhere in my brain.
Pats on Back sir! Bringing me back to my childhood and all the joy that came with it!! Me and my son watch you all the time! I love it from the looks to the smell of the cards lol!
I collected Pokémon cards for years as a kid my grandmother would take me to buy a pack at weekends god rest her soul ,I can't imagine the nostalgia opening one of those packs and smelling those cards again
Hi Leonhart. Great video again! So nice to see you open all those vintage packs and ofcourse the first edition pack! My favourite would be Wigglytuff I Love it.☺
Alakazam was one of the first cards I ever opened when I switched from MTG to Pokémon when I was younger. Would love to add that to my small collection
Well holy cow, that was awesome. Obviously, I'd have to say that 1st edition Alakazam is the best pull. I love the Scyther too. So many memories in watching you open these packs. Alas, the only card I have left from my childhood was the original promo Mew. I have started collecting again but those old cards were just so special.
I’ve had Covid for the past week trying to get over it and quarantined and your videos have helped out a lot and gave me a lot of nostalgia. I’m genuinely commenting just a comment as a fan if I get a cool card out of it cool but that’s not the point, but my favorite Cards would be Sutherland Gengar and of course Charizard.
Definitely the Raichu. Something about the "2" stamp on that card is the nostalgia for me. Any holo is a win in my book at the end of the day though. Great video!! 🙏
Dude that Zapdos man. Literally brings back so many memories of me and my cousin playing in my aunts kitchen table . It was a base set unlimited but dang I wish I knew where it was ! Loved that zapdos and loved the video man
I do think it is insane that you open these packs, but it is also so nice to watch, plus you did get a few great holos, while my fav has to be Ninetales as I just like the Pokémon, plus Zapdos is a close second.
my favorite pokemon of all time is 1000% Scyther. When you pulled one, I was instantly flooded with all my old memories from the first time I found one in blue version, watching the anime. Such a cool feeling. love your videos man. My 5yo daughter loves watching you too. keep up the great content!
Not only are the 1st editions, but also shadowless..good stuff! For BS2 pulls I would have to go with Scyther because he's my favorite pokemon. Has been since I was a child.
That scyther was beautiful!! I love your videos. They get me through some hard times. I watch every one I come across. You are an amazing person and I appreciate everything you do!
I was going to say Zapdos but then you pulled that Scyther!! That one is my fave because I've always liked that artwork and never pulled a Holo one as a kid haha.
I think it's really cool watching these first edition rare packs that you Don't see very much anymore I think it's really cool sing the unique cards pulled out them them
My favorite would definitely be the Zard! It's such a staple in the anime I used to watch and in the community! Good luck Leonhart! I hope the heavy first edition Base Set pack holds another Zard for you for all that you do for the community! Keep it up! ❤❤❤❤❤
*For a chance to win it; what's your favorite BS2 holo I pulled today?*
first. watching now.
second. watching now.
I love Zapdos so that
third, watching RN for the first time since lockdown, missed this channel.
Edit: I really love Alakazam!
I like syther
I remember seeing people with that charzard in school treating it like it's a crumpled up dollar bill in their pocket. 😅
was it 1st edition?

I always imagined the Zapdos at the Power Plant appearing with the same artwork as the card. It's like Ken Sugimori was recreating the first encounter with Zapdos. Love that card so much
Congrats you won the Ninetales! Please email me via email in description of the video to confirm!

I had like 3 when I was a kid
You didn't have shit as a kid and there's literally no proof a pre release raichu exists!
hay can i hav it
@@christasparks8025 you can have 1 I’m not giving nothing to the guy above you. He’s just mad he don’t got a shiny raichu

Agreed. Base set packs are still a favorite too

Zapdos was my favorite of the legendary birds. He just looked so aggressive and ready to fight at any moment
The Ninetails holo is by far my favorite, love the blue flames in the background!
That OG Mewtwo is by far my favorite artwork out of all of them
It makes a lot of sense that the Raichu next to the clefable would be a pre-release also. That makes tremendous sense to me because I absolutely unequivocally remember seeing a pre-release Raichu in 1999 at my local comic store!!!
The alkazam is one of my favourite Pokémon from the show and I’ve always wanted one as a kid because my uncle had one
My favorite pull from today was the holographic Scyther - background fits the Pokémon so well!
Right off the top, I love the Zappos! The dark background really was a great touch.
That Gen 1 Pokemon nostalgia hits so hard. I just started rewatching the series.
It's always so much fun to watch those vintage openings❤️🔥 @LeonHart please keep on doing more of those 🙏🙏 and never been lucky enough to win anything but my favorite BS2 would be the first one you pulled actually the Zapdos holo ! Gotta love those legendary birds 🥰 the Ninetails is fire too.
My favorite holo is probably the Zapdos! That golden lightning looks sick 😎
The holo Zapdos from base/2 honestly is so underrated. Though Alakazam is also a very cool pull!
Dude weighing packs like he the plug lmao
Gotta be professional when dealing with 8’000 ! So yeah basically the plug 😂
People are not risking it now, just have the whole box scanned. It’s $75+ to have them scanned and if no charizard just resale get another. That is what people are doing now
What kind of scan like an xray
A CT scan
That Zapdos card reminded me of my best friend, when we used to trade and play with Pokemon cards over 20 years ago.

Always look foward to your openings and the Hartsquad. Ninetails was my favorite of all!!
personally, I believe that the raichu is the best of the base set 2 pulls but the scyther is a very close second
Love the ninetails artwork one of my classic favorites! You're awesome keep doing what you do and stay Blessed!

Raichu is my favourite. Pikachu always has the limelight as the unofficial mascot but Raichu deserves an honourable mention sometimes.
My favourite Pokemon is Raichu 🧡
I also loved that Scyther, such a cool background for the holo.
So happy. Im recently re collecting the original 151.
Its tough. But i will do it. I love these original 151 vids
That Alakazam from the first edition pack is so beautiful! My favorite though was definitely Scyther, that holographic treatment was lit!
That Scyther background has to be one of my favorite. Keep pullin', Leonhart!
Seeing all this amazing artwork was such a nostalgia trip!! That Scyther card was beautiful 🤩
I loved the tie dye pattern on the Scyther card!!! Has to be my favorite, but I also like the Zapdos! Fantastic video
Love the Wigglytuff, and congrats on the Alakazam!!
Raichu for sure!!

Takes me back to Wizards of the Coast people had first edition holographics in binders by the page..crazy how time flies..
The Raichu holo is one I havent seen pulled in a while. That's a great card. Good memories. That was my favorite
Top 10 line I have heard Leon say on his channel.. "Oh its a NINETALES!!! I saw the red!!!"
the vintage packs is sooo nostalgic i love it...
I have a minty fresh un opened box of these... lol
Alakazam was one of the first cards I ever opened when I switched from MTG to Pokémon when I was younger. Would love to add that to my small collection
Ninetals or Scyther. Thanks for opening these packs. Hopefully one day I can experience this but for now i live it through you 😁😁
My favorite is the Raichu Holo always been my favorite Pokemon. Thanks for opening the first edition!
Gosh that Raichu holo was stunning!
Zapdos as your first base set 2 pull was pretty immense. That Alakazham pull was amazing. What a beautiful card. By far my favorite pokemon.

I do think it is insane that you open these packs, but it is also so nice to watch, plus you did get a few great holos, while my fav has to be Ninetales as I just like the Pokémon, plus Zapdos is a close second.
My favourite for sure was Zapdos, one of the legendary birds!! I would love to win! 🙏🏻
Why have they not made a base 3??
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a leonheart video it was nice seeing it pop up on the feed 😊
My favorite is also Scyther. The green and blue background makes it look so cool.😯

Thanks for doing this! Zapdos is my favorite of the BS2 pulls - the legendary birds are some of the best pokemon ever introduced!
That raichu looks like the best one to me. Awesome vid
The original Zapdos will forever be my favorite artwork regardless of the pack / generation (with the exception of the Moonbreon).
Lmfao… I find this absolutely hilarious, suddenly I feel my life ain’t so bad after all. 😂
The colors of the scyther holo look great. I would say that's my favorite. Nice pull at the end! Thanks for the vid
Zapdos was my favorite of the pulls. So nostalgic seeing my favorite of the legendary birds!
Scyther was definitely my favourite pull of the day. It’s so beautiful, I get so excited every time I see one pulled

Well, in fact the Zapdos is my favorite I guess, the drawing is awesome.
