I Bought Goodwill's Sketchy $500 Pokemon Cards

In this Pokemon cards opening, I open up 2 mystery boxes of Pokemon cards that I won on Goodwill's auction site! Are they actually worth $500 or just full of junk?

Goodwill honestly seems like an eBay username who’s trying to scam you💀😆

[@johnmccrary6701]

You ain’t wrong lol

[@UrSammich]

It's hit/miss honestly. It's cause you are outing bidding other people and other people might overbid making the price stupid. I've won a few auctions and got Pokemon Gold (dead battery/no save) for $60 which was a gamble, Pokemon X for like $23-30 and a pokemon dex toy from 1999 for like...$60 I think. Just depends on the item and who is bidding. Those the last minute bid snippers are the pits.

[@puppuccino]

bro i honestly see you on every single pokerev video

[@cool_6624]

lol

[@jimmyhamilton8947]

😂😂

[@alfastar5588]

It’s always so weird to see bundles like this,but also interesting to see what’s inside even though the value does not reach there

[@JoeyDesu]

people bid on it that's why

[@amberoak]

I love watching videos like this where you open mystery items. It helps tamp down my own urge to buy random mystery boxes I can't afford online.

[@GeekTeacherMaude]

I just love to see what’s inside mystery boxes. It’s fun and scary at the same time 😂 Thank you Rev!

[@michaeljuarez5461]

This comment is a scam

[@DavoBez]

The thrill of the mystery box 😂 Glad Rev is doing this as it shows the reality of a lot of this kind of stuff!

[@johndoe3698]

Back in college, my mother got rid of my entire Pokémon collection by giving it to Goodwill all because “I didn’t play with them anymore”. Very devastating.

[@zeke9179]

I love how honest you always are about products

[@Sukasaha]

Auctions and buying random cards is always a risk and I appreciate Rev for taking one for the team by showing us, the community, what you actually get so people become more aware!

[@CrazyFoo369]

GoodWill has people that research and make list of high value items, cards in general are always pulled to be appraised, the reason the try to gaslight you is to get you to think that maybe there might be a base set Charizard or something but if there ever was one they would pull it out and sell it separately. Goodwill receives donations not only from your general public but all from corporations like Target and Walmart. Those stores donate unsold items for tax write offs (which is where you get unopened packs from). And all the open bulk usually comes from a parents clearing out there kids old stuff. When I worked at Goodwill I'd get dozens of boxes of card bulk but they were usually thrown out because kids are kids and dont always handle with care to keep cards nice and it wasnt worth the time to try and find the less then 10% of good condition cards to salvage anything. short story throwing money in the trash by buying the opened lots, unopened might have a chance at something but its an overpay for sure

[@etherial4885]

I didn’t know Goodwill did this! Super cool to see, thanks for sharing Rev :)

[@ATMDREW17]

There’s something about the mystery of what’s inside tins that pulls me! Haha. My boys end up getting the tins to put toys in 💁🏼‍♂️

[@thateeveeguy8418]

The way it works Rev is that the stores get the stuff in donated and each individual store sends the lots to goodwills ecommerce department, then gets listed and each store gets the profits from the sales

[@ryanbrown6814]

It’s always so weird to see these lots end up somewhere like goodwill! Especially when they have cards from base set to modern and everywhere in between! Why now did they decide to just get rid of them? So cool even though the value isn’t there

[@Rrezz]

Someone kid moved out and went to college/uni and never moved back so they gave their stuff to goodwill. Maybe their kid died and they donated all their stuff to goodwill. Plenty of reasons honestly.

[@DEADPOTENTIAL]

Life happens.

[@Lofstrandcsimon]

The first box was crazy 😂 the cards were a psa 0 😢

[@-Neon]

Honestly props to you for buying products like these, especially from Goodwill, where it’s all luck based for getting something actually worth your money. 😀

[@HalosdaddyTerry]

Glad someone has yhe time and money to check out all of the scetchy products oncthe internet! Thanks rev.

[@Voltwassnatched]

I love seeing what different stores are offering in terms of Pokemon cards!

[@AbrahamNicolaas]

Surprising I have never been to goodwill

[@GhafourHaider-j9v]

I don’t even have goodwill in my country, lol

[@The_sum_of_9_and_10]

Wait really crazy, idk you can find cool stuff sometimes there

[@AbrahamNicolaas]

@@GhafourHaider-j9v lol

[@catherinebarnett2259]

Me to I live in wales

[@Cardminer]

I’ve never herd of it

[@Plump_Nick]

i love how we're just casually looking thru someones childhood pokemon collection that his mom probably got rid of without them knowing lol

[@mikeymixon6904]

Your videos help allot with my depression and even got me sober from harder drugs so i appreciate you ❤

[@marinavelasquez8870]

Thanks for all of the fun you do for everybody whose watching🎉

[@-grimmx-gaming5461]

At least it’s not a bunch of fake cards. I didn’t even know Goodwill sold Pokémon cards until now.

[@spider-manpistachios180]

In my opinion people like pokerev are brave enough to do this. I’m happy they do though for content and so we don’t have to.

[@dominickresendes9559]

I miss those 3 card packs from the dollar tree, I remember getting a primal Kyogre full art from one of those and it was crazy!!

[@yodamcmahon3412]

My favorite pulls from this video were the Dratini from the sleeved pack , and both Growlithe and Arcanine in the Evolutions pack 🙂

[@DiscordMemer69]

Rev is always willing to take huge risks for our entertainment and curiosity. I would never buy random cards like this, but PokeRev decides to do it and show us what's inside.

[@Chris-im6mi]

Mystery boxes are SUPER fun! Its like playing a gacha game. LOVE your content Rev! Keep up the awesome work always! Me and my kids LOVE watching your content!

[@Brawler139]

The Pokemon Advanced cards found in the last tin were basically checklist cards that accompanied the toys that were released during that era. Probably not worth very much but pretty cool that someone decided to save them in a random tin.

[@briansmsk8er1]

I was hoping for a good pull. For 500 spent that's crazy. That Flareon was a beautiful card.

[@DaneDillon]

These are the ultimate mystery box where you really have no idea what to expect and there is no one's reputation at risk if it sucks. lol I guess Goodwill but they do not care about the quality of the mystery box. Thanks for the great video!

[@michaelalwert9873]

It’s always cool seeing the random old bulk and finding small treasures inside!

[@blackswan282]

That’s how you collect and store jumbo cards (RIP Cinderace😂) Great video!!

[@MikeVial]

I saw these listing-almost bid on the the Eevee binder-and I laughed when I saw the bidding prices! I’m confused why the auction prices go so high on Goodwill, even for other types of items like common, used guitars. Maybe people get caught up in the auction; some might be hoping for a mystery gem, while others might be over paying to support the charity work.

[@Lilangel0760]

Im so glad Rev does these type of videos to show us what we can get ourselves into if we buy with these companies

[@Icyfire529]

I work at goodwill and have definitely seen some crazy things like boxes of gold cards and graded cards but they get shipped off to separate buildings and then someone there lists them. But I also know people that have gotten first edition Charizard from the goodwill listings not sure if they were at a good price but they are out there

[@kaijudogirl]

I’m a new collector and haven’t seen Roaring Skies cards before. They look gorgeous. The colors look so vibrant to me. 💖

[@keyz2Success321]

Keep coming in hot rev. Ur the man. Crazy stuff from Goodwill. Thanks for sharing.

[@jaydoubleu66]

The random Mime moments lmao so funny

[@fbom94]

A lot of different things than I expected in these. Just figured they would be mainly bulk

[@DBLMaster12]

These videos are what bring me joy and you upload almost everyday, thanks for that 😊

[@crystalhalo456]

I love how you give away so much and you help us!

[@whatsupky]

I starting watch you PokeRev and you're prolly the most interesting pokemon channel I've been watching. Love your channel!!

[@lecarra7505]

LOVE THE TOPPS CARDS!!! :D Honestly the second box might be worth it just for the bulk alone, I would have the time of my life sorting through all that bulk. :)

[@Teacherguy06]

Yeah I’m always tempted by the mystery Pokémon grab bags and boxes. Keep them sealed though.

[@Battousai01868]

Love getting the CGC select mystery boxes, shiny vert mystery packs, and my favorite first evolving skies ETB off of Amazon that had a Rayquaza vmax alt art . Never tried one on eBay or from goodwill tho. Lol

[@macy_dc]

places i’ve never expected to have pokémon cards always surprise me😅 like a sport store that sells shoes, water bottles, baseball hats, etc had pokémon. but they we’re definitely expensive

[@THEBHAWM]

Dog I bought a 1.5lbs box for $12 with none of the cards facing up. And there was actual dirt all over the table in the pic. The whole thing was WOTC holos and Topps lol.

[@maartenverbeeck]

Nice to see some older packs in this mystery product as well as some older cards!

[@blasty1696]

I love watching your content, really helps me fuel my Pokémon addiction without breaking my bank

[@l01l0l10l]

People in the USA are lucky with the availability of all these Pokémon products at so many different places!

[@PackageTotal]

Always fun seeing new things come through on this channel, Rev always finding stuff to buy for show and tell lol.

[@DontCareNotListening]

Every few months the Goodwill pokemon auctions start to get good again until you post these videos 😂

[@NataliaKazakevich-j7o]

It's so cool how Pokerev always finds new places to buy Pokemon cards. These videos are very interesting and I love to see what he gets.

[@adamclark7031]

I love mystery boxes there so funny to see. I am planning to do a huge opening myself and I’m watching your videos to get ideas of what to buy.

[@johnes]

I would have been super happy to get the holo Kyogre. I don’t really collect cards based on value, I just like getting holos or reverse holos of Pokémon I like or ones that I use in VGC.

[@justpaultoo]

I did not know goodwill had pokemon, I love finding unique ways to get pokemon cards!

[@isaackim627]

Always fun to watch mystery package openings (without having to spend your own money haha)

[@virgilherring581]

The boat is just a boat, but the mystery box could be anything! It could even be a boat!

[@GatewayCollectibles]

my buddy went to the goodwill where you weigh and pay and found a pencil case full of cards, since it costs nothing it was a steal, pretty cool :)

[@alexpaul4144]

Ancient mew has always been one of my all time favorite promos and cards in gen. When I started collecting again had to have one again got one for a good deal at 15

[@robertchurcher4772]

I'm always cautious about mystery packs, it seems they go down in price after a month.

[@page28nicolas22]

bro it's 2am and still watching your video 😂, I need to go to sleep after this.

[@buildyourcomputer]

Real breaking Nate could use that bulk for his binders

[@RobbieBubbaMan]

He doesn’t know that Pokémon TGC Online is gone, so the packs older then Sword and Shield don’t work!

[@BradleyDS90]

I'm honestly surprised you got legit cards from them and no fake cards lol I've never bought cards from Goodwill before but I did buy a sealed Pokemon movie that ended up being a counterfeit.

[@KINGOFMOVIES101]

Thrifting to flipping is fun. Except for when it’s dud. You can always guarantee to resell those easily.

[@LarryRobert515]

Fun seeing all the stuff you can get from goodwill. That Flareon was pretty cool!

[@iamalex4life]

That PokeBall Catching sound effect 😮

[@Mekkagnome]

Be careful when buying from Goodwill or any similar store. They pluck all the good stuff and sell it at auction/eBay. Usually, any item you see at the store as already been vetted but sometimes good stuff falls through the cracks. Happy hunting!

[@vicentedufeu]

Open mystery box is so fun, more videos like that pls!

[@kemangin]

Who knew that goodwill would sell Pokémon cards

[@goodfoodgoodloot]

It's nice to see mystery boxes but these weren't worth it sadly. If only the sellers were more sincere! Still fun to watch what comes in them 🤩

[@ZachPipAttack]

These videos are: 1. Great content with rare pokemon cards 2. Great content with a man getting scammed

[@BraydenSeibel]

I've never seen a Pokemon card mystery bundle packaged like this, so weird!? Good thing is though, it wasn't damaged or a scam.

[@monkey_brotha]

I love to see what is inside mystery boxes even though I myself haven't opened one

[@archeon678]

This is so much fun! I've definitely done this once...or twice...or maybe more than twice.

[@fujiisan87]

Mystery boxes are some of my favorite videos of yours. Keep them coming, thanks!

[@theemegandriver]

I'll have to check this out! Definitely an interesting way to expand your collection!

[@astridvalkyrie8458]

As someone who bought a Goodwill Pokemon 55 pound bulk/sleeves/etc - the shipping will kill you, it's very fun, and it's not worth LOL

[@KingKaiDB]

Bro I remember how many valuable pokemon cards I traded away in my primary school days 😭

[@caseylawson114]

I'm always watching products on the goodwill site, but haven't made a purchase yet because the prices are always driven way higher than the products are worth.

[@endersmercy]

It blows me away with how expensive those bundles are selling for! Crazy!

[@timw8778]

I love these videos that show me new places to look for Pokémon

[@limxin7931]

Rev taking one for the pokemon community yet again, thanks Rev!

[@RyanGale-ks5xv]

Love the mystery box openings! Good luck with the pulls

[@tonyasager2921]

It has always been a pet peeve of mine, that Goodwill sells things for prices like this, when they get things for free to begin with. They price gouge the living piss out of everybody, and it’s absolutely absurd. I went into one of these the other day to get my daughter, an extra pair of jeans for her painting class and they want almost full price retail for use things that have stains and rips and dirty, they should be ashamed of themselves

[@rukanomi7812]

can't believe how much content this guy pumps out. the true legend, thanks for ripping packs so i don't have to

[@sports94freak]

2nd one was absolutely worth it! That’s such an awesome collection of bulk and honestly, I love the reverse cards, being someone who didn’t collect much after gym series, the reverse is such a cool idea, and so I would totally appreciate and not even know the difference, even if they didn’t have resale value, I would absolutely love that set and love sharing them with my 2 boys and passing on the love of Pokémon cards!

[@sikwitdastiks]

Didn’t expect goodwill to be so sus

[@sideswipe121598]

I want that pikachu in the beginning of the video 😂😂😂

[@CardCollectorCody]

It's funny you're did this video. As I literally spent $750 last week on a similar Pokémon/Baseball box from goodwill and opened it yesterday. They did the same thing w the photos. I got $50 dollars worth of cards and even those are ungradeable. But o well. I guess that's life. There welcome for the donations.

[@SimpleVidsYT90]

Bro PokeRev keep up the good work! I'm never disappointed with your content!

[@ezequieltadeo4403]

That’s what amazes me, thinking outside the norm and taking the chance with the coin under the rock! 🫡crazy video rev please keep them coming ✌️

[@liamsherlock7361]

I love your videos Pokerev!!.. As soon as I get my daughter to sleep I usually spent the rest of my evening watch!!. Stay Awesome!!..

[@jaimediez8390]

This are always the most entretainign videos, mystery boxes give you the chills!!

[@blizzardphoenix3476]

Respect for using your time and money to bid on this stuff to show us what kind of stuff comes in it. And even sometimes showing us not to buy from a site 😁

[@PixiemonCards]

they do not always have good shipping, and shipping and handling is stupid expensive like $10-40 depending on the weight.

[@christophermartin3554]

Honestly I didn't even know they had online auctions, interesting to find out

[@maverick9194]

Pretty cool to see the random chase cards in there!

[@techisaur]

Wouldn't have thought Goodwill has pokemon cards. Thanks for the video.

[@TangixMochii]

Great vid! Personally i wouldnt buy pokemon from goodwill. But it was fascinating to watch!
