7 Months, 1,200 Packs & the Hunt is Finally Over - Umbreon VMAX Alt Art, Welcome to the Family!

[@nathy1918]

7:53 thank me later :)

[@gregdoh]

I really need to just edit this again and post just that pack being opened.

[@CocoLovesOranges]

Thanks

[@postpup]

I feel so bad watching this, knowing that earlier my husband and I pulled the alt art Umbreon VMAX from three Evolving Skies boosters. We didn't even know it was worth anything, because we haven't bought cards in years. Insane luck on our end, but so stoked to see you were able to finally get one!

[@robbieluten1272]

I did the same thing bought 3 pack first lvl the espeon with the books an the sec pack had the umbreaom Vmax an Ik it’s a ten sent it in already both cards were mint gems boy the binders almost done

[@gregdoh]

Crazy! It was a ton of fun opening packs of Evolving Skies and worth the journey, not to mention I stocked up on booster box cases when booster boxes were $95 and still have a bunch leftover in storage that I'll sell someday to recoup what I spent on the packs I opened! Cheers!

[@umbreonsquest5608]

I love your reaction to the card. Glad you got it!

[@gregdoh]

Thank you!! Was dreaming of that moment for a looong time! Congrats on pulling that Leafeon Vmax alt on your 28th pack- it's the one alt Vmax I never pulled from Evolving Skies!

[@MaxM-ti2pq]

I got it within 5 packs lol

[@gregdoh]

@@MaxM-ti2pq congrats! Celebrate!!

[@haruka3203]

That reaction to the moonbreon pull, is like... winning the lottery. Because.... it is :)

[@gregdoh]

So much better than winning the lottery!

[@PokeStarsTV]

Honestly so relatable, I searched for AGES, and finally in a tin, a $30 tin with 2 evo skies and 3 other packs, I randomly found after giving up so long ago, I pulled it

[@gregdoh]

That seems like an amazing way to pull it too- complete surprise! I'm not sure when I would have stopped. I stopped opening my sealed cases of EvoSkies products after 1,000 packs and put them in storage, and switched to buying $4 packs from PokemonCenter.com and finally pulled it after opening 225 of those packs (I opened 1,225 packs total). Any idea how many packs you opened? And did you at least open them when they were under $3 a pack? I wouldn't dare open a single pack now with their current prices!

[@PokeStarsTV]

@ probably only opened like 120 packs, I’ve pulled 5 of the at Arts, espeon V, rayquaza Vmax, Sylveon v and Vmax (my 2 fav cards ever) and Moombreon, my luck is just insane

[@kevinsay2492]

Wow! Congrat bro. I just found some blister packs at my local lucky’s I bought like 10 packs. One days I wish I have that moment. Congrat bro.

[@gregdoh]

Thanks! I hope you get it one day as it's a great feeling pulling your #1 chase card! I was lucky in that I paid about $2.60 for most of the Evolving Skies packs I opened. I can't imagine paying $4+ per pack, and probably wouldn't have chased Moonbreon if that was the case. Cheers!

[@zeadux2095]

I love that this took me 3 packs to pull from my broken pull rate case of the sleeved boosters. Still got 18 left. The pull rates on my case are seemingly 1 secret per 2-3 packs

[@gregdoh]

That's amazing! Congrats! Someone I know had crazy pull rates like you with 72 blisters he opened last week. I'd love to hear what other alts you pulled from that case!

[@RocketVet]

This makes me so happy to watch lol the “it’s over!” I felt that one recently when I finally just bought it 😂 I knew I’d likely spend more to keep going. My favorite card ever too! My favorite Pokémon. ❤

[@gregdoh]

Smart move buying it! With every other Pokemon card, I'll buy the single of if I don't pull it within the set amount of packs I plan to open for a set (I always set limits on how many packs I'll open for fun before stopping and buying the cards I want), but with this particular card, probably my favorite card of all time, I wasn't going to stop until I pulled it just so I could get my reaction on camera and re-watch it from time to time. Umbreon is my favorite because it reminds me of my black cat, Dr. Fink. Why is Umbreon your favorite, Nate?

[@RocketVet]

@@gregdoh Instantly became my favorite upon Gold and Silver release back in the day. I love the design and evolution mechanic. Umbreon suits my personality well too.

[@gregdoh]

@@RocketVet I wish I would have still been into Pokemon when Gold and Silver came out. I had Blue and Yellow, then many years of not being into Pokemon. Did you ever watch the animated series? I stopped after Indigo League, but now I want to watch an episode or two with Umbreon!

[@tstreb66]

To put this number of packs into perspective that is approximately 33 booster boxes with each box containing 36 booster packs.

[@nixonnixon8867]

I just opened a single pack not even looking for anything specific and just pulled this moonbreon card

[@gregdoh]

That is the best thing I've heard today. Congrats!!!

[@blackcode9174]

I pulled that card last year and all I did was buy 1 pack at Target I believe it came with 2 packs and a little hand held binder.

[@PabloEscobar-zx3fw]

I know the feeling brother!!! I pulled that card and will never sell it! So proud of that day and that feeling....yesssss

[@gregdoh]

Happy to hear you pulled it too! I hope you pulled it in less packs than me though. Did you get it on camera? I'd love to see it if so!

[@jaytr8867]

congrats! Pulling the card! :D

[@gregdoh]

Thank you! :)

[@Pokenite_Animations]

Seeing your happiness made me happy. Your reaction was amazing!!! U just earned urself a sub!

[@Uhmwhattheheck]

7:53 is the pack that has the pull :(

[@zurcnomis]

I started researching my old x’s, ex’s, promos, and all the rare hollows I had from collecting as a kid. Come to find out my shiny palkia goes for 124 bucks. The rest came out to be around 200 worth of cards, but they’re too beat to sell. I pulled this Moonbreon after my brother bought me a 5 pack Tin with 2 packs of Evolving Skies last week. They were my first cards since I was a kid! We went back for more and got a glaceon alt art worth 150 right now, pretty crazy.

[@Junitrades]

literally just had this exact moment. cheers man

[@abbeystackhouse9562]

Very surprisingly it only took me like 10 or 20 packs to pull this which is insane

[@gregdoh]

Some insane luck! Congrats! It was a fun journey though, one that I'd never do again with any other set.

[@abbeystackhouse9562]

@@gregdoh yeah, I'm still on the hunt for that Rayquaza tho.

[@gregdoh]

@@abbeystackhouse9562 I pulled that one really early in my evolving skies openings (not a Ray ray fan though!), but it was when I was recording my openings at home and didn't plan on ever uploading them, so the quality is bad and my reaction is quiet because my girlfriend was in the other room. Best of luck if you are still cracking Evolving Skies packs! Otherwise, seems like prices are down a bit right now and might be a good time to buy the single again.

[@danhallas3546]

Man I’ve been wanting this card so bad! I’m like you where I really really really want to pull one from the pack myself, but I’ve slowly come to the realization that it would be much more efficient to just trade for it. Seeing all these ungodly pull rates on this bad boy is just unreal. I’ve managed to pull two alt art sylveon v’s (out of like 100 packs give or take) luckily but this still eludes me: awesome pull man just got a new subscriber 👍

[@gregdoh]

Thank you!! This was the only card in modern Pokemon that I "needed" to pull so I could get it on camera. For every other set I usually only open 50-100 packs for fun, then buy the singles I want since that's almost always the most cost-effective thing to do. So I'm with you! Trade for it! And enjoy it!!

[@cj1613]

just buy it cause 1200 packs to get this is 5000 dollars..

[@gregdoh]

@@cj1613 Agreed! I only paid about $2.65 per pack (stocked up Dec 2021 when booster boxes were under $95). And fortunately I've been able to break even by selling duplicates and bulk from the set. I would never recommend anyone open packs to pull their chase cards unless they have a plan for how to make their money back or equate the "fun" factor into the equation, because just like gambling in a casino, "the house always wins".

[@germansalazar1037]

i started collecting tcg pokemon cards last week and i got the umbreon vmax already. Im the luckiest man alive right now. 1 out of 1754 are the odds to get this card. this is my sign to start collecting pokeom tcg

[@gregdoh]

Congrats! Don't let the beginner's luck fool you though- buying singles when you think prices are at their lowest is always the best way to go as "the house always wins". But ripping packs is fun! Cheers!!

[@gregdoh]

@pls donate squad That's amazing luck! I think I got a non-holo Dragonair (shadowless Base set) from my first ever Pokemon pack.

[@brennaroach6822]

I hope you get it! It was fun chasing it while Evolving Skies packs were less than $3 a pack. I can't imagine opening packs to try to pull it now. I would just buy it with the way prices are now. Cheers!

[@jasonkeener2442]

I finally got Umbreon Vmax alt art the other day. I bought 4 packs from Walmart and in the last pack there it was. I'm never saling it. I mean ill never be able to find another one.

[@gregdoh]

So awesome to hear, Jason! Any idea on how many packs you opened before pulling it? And, did you happen to get it on camera- if so I'd love to see! Either way, congrats, and keep that card safe!!

[@pokedad26]

I sold my shadowless Charizard at a garage sale for $20 in 2001.

[@gregdoh]

At least you got some money for it! I gave away all my shadowless base set, 1st edition fossil an d1st edition jungle holos. To go back in time to get those cards back...

[@rollerbobby3483]

Umm did he pass away? He hasn’t posted since, I’m sincerely worried!!

[@gregdoh]

Nope, just completed my mission of pulling Moonbreon! I try to mention in all of my video descriptions that I'm not a KZbinr and just post a few videos for fun from time to time. I may post more big pull clips in the future, but have been very busy as I run two businesses. I am really appreciative of all of you who have watched my videos and subbed my channel, but I don't expect anyone to sub or stay subbed. Perhaps I should post some Crown Zenith pulls soon...

Thank you! It was the highlight of the hobby for me thus far :)

[@awesomebossman788]

Feel so bad for you man. It only took me about 60 packs to pull it.

[@gregdoh]

It was a lot of fun and no money was lost, BUT, pulling it in 60 packs would have been better. Congrats to you! I feel for the people who are still opening Evolving Skies since prices on packs are $4+ now.

[@Breeolu]

@@gregdoh and what a good idea. I can’t help but open them just in case I pull another but might have to do the same as you haha

[@Peemanhermit]

I pulled the moonbreon in 16 packs. Then the next day i pulled bubble mew on a 3 pack sticker bundle..then day after that I pulled the Zard from darkness ablaze in 1 sleeved pack. Today I I pull 3 tyranitar from paldea and my 2 greninja from twilight came back psa 10. Been on fire 🔥

[@gregdoh]

That's amazing! If I were you, I'd quit while ahead and never open another pack. I had a ton of fun opening Evolving Skies, puling dozens of alt arts, but I wish I would have pulled Umbreon Vmax sooner! I'm just glad I stocked up on packs when booster boxes were $93 and 144 ct blister cases were $425. I stashed quite a few away, so even though I opened over 1,200 packs, I had a ton of fun with it and will make a great profit. (I haven't opened a single pack in almost a year now and stick to buying singles).

[@Peemanhermit]

@gregdoh haha yeah I agree. My luck streak has been fire. But I'm buying singles now. Just bought a hidden fates zard. Def not spending 50 bucks a pop to try and pull him when he's onky 100 bucks.

[@gregdoh]

@@Peemanhermit Evolving Skies is the only set where I opened packs chasing a card, and I'm glad I finally pulled it before prices shot way up on packs or I might have stopped opening it sooner. I open a few packs from each set for fun still, and had great luck with a couple sets but mostly not. Thanks for stopping by, and have fun going forward!

[@jedrzejpuawski509]

bros hart atack,congrats!

[@anysort]

I just noticed that you pulled your Umbreon out of an Duralodon pack ! So finally it’s a myth that you only can pull a specific card from a specific design pack, like for example Lugia 1st edition can only be pulled from Lugia packs which now I can see that is actually not true at all

[@gregdoh]

Ha! Yup, similar to when some people say that all the hits are in certain product because of their own personal experience. No, it's almost always random, unless someone messes up and we end up with the rare situations like the Fusion Strike God booster boxes.

[@mtv565]

He pulled it at 8:49

[@gregdoh]

I'll make a short of it soon with just that pack being opened

[@DarkWartex]

I just pulled one of these from a ES booster pack from Walmart. Any recommendations on who to grade it with?

[@gregdoh]

Congrats!! Grading is a bit personal preference, and I have yet to grade any of my cards. I planned to learn more about grading and get the cards I want to grade sent out in 2023. I would only send them to one of the big 3: Beckett, PSA, or CGC. Watch a few KZbin videos about grading Pokemon cards. I think that just like collecting, as you learn more about grading you'll figure out the companies you want to use, get a better idea of what cards to send in, figure out the best time to send them in to get the most bang for your buck (they all seem to run sales at various times), etc. Good luck!

[@pokert9401]

So happy for you man. Hope i get to pull that someday too.

@@gregdoh facts man the only place i can even get packs at retail or lower are them divergent power tins and the new back to school packs, other than that ive literally opened 5-6 hundred packs and pulled 1 alt art v umbreon, i think id cry at this point if i pulled the vmax, youre reaction is the most genuine ive seen on yutube and the story behind it made it so much more rewwarding i bet lol

[@gregdoh]

@@DonnieEls I'm glad there are still ways to get Evolving Skies packs at retail. Is the Umbreon V alt the only alt you've pulled? Or just the only Umbreon alt you've pulled? In my first 900 packs I pulled 12 alt arts, then in my last 315 packs I pulled 13 alt arts- crazy lucky pull rates on those last 315 packs. I definitely don't want to encourage you to keep opening them until you pull it, but I'm rooting for ya!!

[@DonnieEls]

@@gregdoh literally one alt art out of all them packs 😞

[@gregdoh]

@@DonnieEls OOf... yeah, that's horrible. Sorry. I banked on the fact that I pulled enough alt art doubles to sell to help fund opening more packs. I don't know how you haven't thrown the towel in yet. I stopped opening Fusion Strike after opening 100 packs and my best pull was a regular Gengar Vmax. Evolving Skies has so many awesome alt arts though that it makes it more fun than any other Sword and Shield set to open so many packs to chase those alts.

Just pulled my first one last night. I’m still on a high…to the point where I’m watching people pull it in KZbin. 😂. Congrats! 🎉

[@davidspalding1375]

Awesome! Question, do you usually just pull from the sleeved boosters?!

[@gregdoh]

No, I usually prefer booster boxes just because they are slightly less wasteful, but for sets where I plan to open a lot of packs I like variety and usually open 1 144 ct sleeved booster pack case along with booster boxes and other products. The only reason I opened so many sleeved packs for Evolving Skies was because that's all that was available to buy for a while.

Glad you enjoyed it, but that was the only card I ever chased. Opening packs isn't in my budget so I stick to buying singles.

Buying singles is the way to go with Pokemon TCG. Opening packs can be fun, but it's gambling and the house always wins if you play long enough. (there are strategic ways to break even or profit from opening packs though, which I did with Evolving Skies)

[@therealpokedex]

My younger brother just pulled this card from his deck. came here to see if it's worth anything. if anyone wants to buy it, let me know.

[@gregdoh]

Awesome to hear and congrats to him! Look into selling it in one of the Facebook buy/sell/trade groups. Check Ebay sold listings and TCGPlayer for market value. Good luck!

i just got mine of all things from an elite trainer box that got left in a walmart toy isle

[@glennjacinto4023]

lol that’s a lot. i pulled umbreon from pikachu and zekrom tag team box. i saved hella money also

[@5fvpp]

my mom get me like an normal pack and i pulled it

[@gregdoh]

You deserve it, congrats!

[@jordanmetzger3772]

I’ve pulled every alt from the set but the leafeon v and the umbreon vmax I am extremely jealous

[@gregdoh]

Ah, nothing like pulling all the other alts except for the best one in the set! I never pulled Golurk V alt or Leafeon Vmax alt, but I just bought both last week for $150 total. Sell some of your doubles and buy the ones you need! Moonbreon price just continues to rise. I wish I would have bought a couple of them when they were $200

[@patrickniethe7969]

i got that same umbreon from a pack i got from the dollar store should i sell it

[@gregdoh]

Congrats! It's currently worth around $500, so if you don't want it then sell it and buy the cards you want!

[@moldyslug]

Man pulled a card so rare he quit uploading KZbin videos 😂😂

[@gregdoh]

Ha! I had my fun, then went back to opening packs off camera for the most part.

[@moldyslug]

@@gregdoh 2 questions. 1. Will you ever sell that card?? 2. Will you be making more videos for Paldean Fates next month??

[@gregdoh]

@@moldyslug I won't be selling it. It was the only card I ever chased until I pulled it where with most sets that I open I only open a set amount of packs for fun before stopping and just buying the singles I want. The only 2 sets I opened this year were Crown Zenith and 151. I'm not really into the S&V era sets, mainly because I'm not into the Pokemon games or animated series since the original Gameboy games and the Indigo League. My intension with my channel was just to share a few of my openings with a friend of mine, then I had some fun with a little more editing. I MIGHT post a few more videos sparingly of other fun pulls, but that might not happen either. I do plan on opening some Paldean Fates though as a lot of the shiny cards are of the Kanto region, but we'll see. I hope you have a great weekend, and have fun with collecting and good luck with your pulls!

Beat reaction, soo good

You and I both but remember pack rats end up with treasure

Mission accomplished 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Gi0isgood555]

I am a young collector I want that moonbreon so bad

[@danielmcdonnel1526]

1215 packs!!...$5 a pack.....$6075 spent on a $300 card... congratulations 🎉 man u def came out on top of this one 🤣

[@zacharymutter8432]

A masters set is around 3.5k It's not horrible for the experience to open it yourself tbh

[@gregdoh]

Ha, thank you! It was getting out of hand! But, I spent about $2.90 per pack on the first 900 or so packs (bought most product in Dec when prices were low), and $4.22 per pack on the last 315 so not AS BAD as that! (just under $4k total) Plus, I made back over $1k selling duplicates already, still have some duplicates to grade and sell, and also have a bunch of sealed booster boxes I paid $92 each for back in Dec when prices were low that I'll sell in a few years and use the profits to recoup the rest of what I spent back. I'd vomit if I straight up spent $6k on a $300 card! For me, it was the most fun set I ever opened, so even if I don't come out on top (which I already know I will unless Pokemon crashes VERY hard) it was still worth it! (I'm really just explaining all this in case someone comes across this comment and wants a little more insight so they don't foolishly open pack after pack trying to chase cards for every set. With Evolving Skies, there is/was a way to make your money back, but the biggest part of it for me was stocking up on booster boxes when they were $92 and then getting very lucky with the $4 PokemonCenter packs where I kept pulling alt arts and secret rare duplicates that I've sold and still have some to sell.)

[@gregdoh]

@@zacharymutter8432 And yes, it was worth the fun of opening the set! I usually set a limit on sets and then stop opening packs once I hit that limit and then buy the singles I want. For example, for Brilliant Stars my limit was 300 packs. The only card I didn't pull that I wanted was alt Zard, so I'm just going to buy the single instead of trying to chase it.

[@TeddyBrooski-th9qx]

Yessssss! Bang baby!!!!

[@rreputaytion]

8:43 your welcome

[@gregdoh]

Nah, 7:53, so you can see my eyes popping out my head when I realize what card it is.

[@ryantucker606]

Congratulations man but 1,200 Packs at say $6 is $7,200 I love the card to but I think I will just buy the card. But I understand the need to pull it lol

[@gregdoh]

It was expensive and I DON'T RECOMMEND opening packs except maybe a few for fun, but, I only paid about $2.90 per pack on average. I bought booster boxes in Dec, 2021 when prices were about $92 shipped each. Plus, I made back over $1k selling duplicates already, still have some duplicates to grade and sell, and also still have a bunch of sealed booster boxes from when they were $92 that I'll sell in a few years and use the profits to recoup the rest of what I spent back. I'd vomit if I straight up spent $7k on a ~$500 card! For me, it was the most fun set I ever opened, so I wanted to have a ton of fun with it.
