I Buy Pokemon Cards on AliExpress...BUT They Sent This

In this Pokemon cards opening I shopped on AliExpress to try & find real Pokemon cards. Are all the cards a fake scam just like Wish & Alibaba or will they be authentic Pokemon cards?

They be putting too much effort on the fake Pokémon cards😭😭

[@capuwii]

Exactly like they already got there money

[@lofimonke751]

Lesson learned go to your local shop

[@iTimebomb]

Wow, this is insanity

[@Sanatani_weeb586]

Yeah,in india we only have this monstrosity we can't go to a local store as they have fake cards and we can't trust online also

[@armybanana343]

Aliexpress is where I buy 100 fake v, vmax, v star, and GX Pokémon cards. They are somehow real looking.

[@niagarajoe4402]

What is funny (and actually pretty sad) is this is how much much real Pokémon cards cost….Pokémon could sell their legit booster boxes for this price and still make money (just from a manufacturing point of view, not including marketing etc)

[@ripeyegaming4783]

They can't make profit they use quality materials

[@Kspice9000]

​@ripeyegaming4783 I don't think they've seen the production of these cards. I've only seen one machine from thumbnail and I legit was "Yup, makes sense"

[@hongchen6621]

no

[@storytimewithbrock1450]

If the cost less from the factory then they would be worth less for collecting

[@niagarajoe4402]

The fake cards are crazy but the fact the store had positive reviews is even crazier lol

[@thechosenwon4089]

I go into an Argument in the reviews of a fake seller on Amazon. I just made a comment saying they were fake and to not order from them somebody else that had ordered them was arguing saying they were real and that I don't know anything about cards

[@janoariza1965]

It’s cuz people don’t realize their fake😂😂😂

[@millo13]

They get good reviews because people know they are fake. Buy a box for $13 sell them for $5 a pack. Easy money.

[@waffleninja1000]

People buy it for their kids and know they are fake.

[@perrydaplatipus]

Most wants it for their kids to play but don't want to buy the expensive original esp in south East Asian region where most cards are imported. I believe the v Star universe single pack costs about 20 USD or so

[@heshhippietv]

I just bought 2 fake packs for $1 each at a discount store and I had the same laugh out loud reaction, definitely worth the price & comedic factor and will use the cards for some kind of craft project so I don’t feel bad using real cards. The massive amount typos on almost every single card is hilarious

[@TheePokeTeacher]

This was an absolutely hilarious video. I feel bad for those unknowing adults who by cheap cards as presents for others 😢

[@joshuakim5742]

the adults who purchase these cards as gifts deserve to be sent fakes due to their lack of common sense. All you have to do is some minimal research.

[@Pehmokettu]

​@@joshuakim5742 But it is not good for the person who receives the gift.

[@Pikabugz]

@@joshuakim5742 Don’t ever blame the victim. It has nothing to do with common sense as people don’t think about “scammers” when buying toys or products for their loved ones and honestly- they shouldn’t have to.

[@girmontage]

mostly its for kids who can't afford the real one or just want to play the cards, no one an adult will gift this type of cards to another adult...

[@joncallahan8622]

I feel worse for the adults who pay thousands for slabs of cardboard when its clear, by this video, that they can get the same hunk of cardboard for 10% of price. Idk why you feel bad for them. Lol 16 bucks for 360 drawings isnt a bad deal.

[@pkmnkingx]

Fake cards are always so interesting to me because I used to get a bunch of them in circulation at school when we were trading them and I dont even know how my friends got fake cards or where they came from - it was like 2008 😂

This actually looks like a great alternative to buying real cards for the people who want to play the tcg and don't want to spend a whole bunch of money. 😂

I'm laughing right along with you PokeRev...This box IS the struggle in real time. I do think though that whomever would need to buy this box of cards, has to be doing the best they can. This is the reason I repackage my duplicates and donate them to children who would otherwise find themselves ordering these!!! Keep up the amazing work, your videos are getting better and better everyday!!!

[@pingpongkid-vd5ou]

Love how you show all this stuff! Really a good warning for the community!

[@pharoh2008]

This was hilarious to watch. The way I almost want a box to practice painting cards though. XD

[@Seriousmeliss]

😂😂thanks for the good laugh Rev!!

[@SammyCoventry90]

Can we just take a minute an appreciate this man's content. Loving your work Rev!

[@Pikabugz]

I thought the gold Pokémon proxy cards would be nice to collect and have to make our binder collections look more appealing-cool. My daughter said absolutely NOT! She was like “we don’t give money to people selling fake cards. No matter how cool one set looks. That’s why they’re still in business scamming people!” Great advice 😊❤ It was on the Walmart website from a company known for selling fake booster boxes. Pat from Deep Pocket Monster shared a video exposing the company.

[@DevilFruitJourney]

I suppose those boxes could be used to surprise a 3 y old child. He wouldn't notice it and play with them and be happy af. So i think there is a use of those boxes.

[@brandonedwards6309]

That Bidoof in the first pack with the shiny teeth had me rolling 😂😂😂

[@BTCjonny]

Man I think Pokémon really needs to hire whoever designed these packs 😂 what an awesome Sunday afternoon video

[@djk6297]

Yeah there's times where fakes seem better than the originals; not entirely here, though.

[@Stephen033]

I'm glad you are making a video on this so people won't get screwed over on stuff like this. I hate when people sell fake stuff or scams. Thank Rev. Keep up the great work

[@raymondschafferiii7146]

It’s really a shame that this actually happens. Thanks Rev for warning the community!

[@westhamaremassive8099]

If your buying cards for 15 dollars and you think it’s real you deserve to get scammed for being so dum

[@vantarr]

obviously, they were booster boxes for $15

[@rcigv5422]

Not too bad for $14 bucks. I would buy them for sure, they seem fun to open..and I will not be concerned of "damaging" the "precious" originals I jelously keep in my closet afraid that not the faintest of breezes dares to touch them...🎉🎉😂

[@goodfoodgoodloot]

I've seen sellers' ads saying parents can buy cheap cards for their kids so maybe that is where the good reviews are coming from LOL but yea good video to educate people!

[@luxi_2178]

This video gave me a nostalgia hit because when I was a kid some stores near where I live sold pokemon cards, at like, the regular price you'd find them on good stores with actual official cards. But the ones we all bought as kids were really fake, not even talking about the quality because yes they were bad but the thing is, half of the pokemon moves names were in other language or poorly translated. For example I have a Wingull card and the name at the top says Articuno 💀 or when I got a Blaziken with +9k of health, honestly when I was a kid no one really noticed these things so we played like normal but now I laugh when seeing those cards around my house. Sometimes I even buy some to see if they're still as bad, they are and honestly I'm surprised Rev's cards shine on the holo ones because they don't even do that here, they have the shade of how they're supposed to shine but it's discolored and really bad looking. Thanks for the great video! You really got me back into wanting to get official pokemon cards :D

[@Memezz06]

This video was actually hilarious. 😂 those cards looked so bad. How can they even sell them without getting sued? I would love to see more videos like this, maybe next time you should buy stuff off of Wish. Great video, appreciate the consistency

[@yurialondor6230]

...? it's a Chinese website mate, nobody is getting sued for something like this lmao

@@yurialondor6230 it's cuz they said it was a product of the official Pokémon company

[@topouzidd]

If you are know what you are getting (if you know they are fake), then go buy them. They look great and it's the best gift for your young kids that sees their parent get all excited with his cards and they want some cards too. But you know that whatever cards you'll buy to your kids, it will end up half chewed, half licked, covered with chocolate or ketchup, or traded for a sticker at day care. I'd rather see a $15 booster box get destroyed and traded for other useless stuff than see a $170 booster box get destroyed.
