I Opened Evolutions Pokemon Cards In 2021 (Was It Worth It?)

Evolutions Pokemon cards were released in November of 2016. This month marks the 5 year anniversary for the release of Evolutions Pokemon cards. These booster boxes of Pokemon cards sell for $700 5 years later so I decided to open an Evolutions booster box of Pokemon cards to see if it was worth it.

My walmart just stocked a ton of galar tins with evolutions. Crazy we're still finding them to this day, but it's iconic.

[@Brian-tx8gg]

I bought all the galar tins at my Walmart. All of the packs inside were resealed. I’ve never pulled a Charizard. Pull rates are 1:1,000 or more I guess

[@andrewmahabir589]

@@Brian-tx8gg how do you know they were resealed?

[@Brian-tx8gg]

@@andrewmahabir589 bc I’ve opened tons of packs and these were the crappiest looking socks I’ve ever seen. Also, both packs that were inside were both sealed the same way(different sets). Also, I remember the pills were off too, green and white code card had nothing.

Watched start to finish this is a great set and was fun to see that Rev Charizard pulled! I got back into pokemon because of xy evolutions and I don't think I will ever quit again because I regret having to start over fresh and seeing how expensive everything has become.

[@KyleLeeman]

Im so nostalgic for Evos even from a couple of years ago. I bought a few boxes like a week before the value started to surge and just had the best time opening them up. Great video, Rev.

[@parkerlong1725]

Really good comment

[@grantkearney6354]

Opening Evolutions in 2021 = Still more exciting than almost any other set

[@dadog2024]

i wish i had collected evolutions back when it was just in every single product, there was so much of it that i thought it probably wasn’t even worth collecting since there was so much of it everywhere but i guess i was wrong

[@dougcruz4555]

I remember opening these 5 years ago, I love the original base set design, wish they weren't so expensive

[@1mgridley]

I also wish they weren’t so expensive

[@XEMIko79x]

I really love opening evolutions. To get some childhood back that I didn't get to experience much. Couldn't afford to collect cards back then. Got a starter deck and some packs but that was it. Ended up with the game boy game and had a blast playing different strategies and collecting everything. To have a more affordable way to open up some of those nostalgia cards it's great.

[@foreveroutdated5739]

I hear that EQ and compression on your mic channel. Kudos my bro! Sounds super clean

[@ronniegibson4688]

The coolness still there for me. The OG cards just make it so special 😍❤️😍❤️

Good advice on the fake packs out there. I love how your not the seller, you can just give good honest tips! Thanks for looking out bro!

[@TheOxyKun]

I just got back into collecting with the celebrations set so seeing this set get's me all hyped. Your pulls tho, with charizard reverse. Amazing luck dude, gratz

[@tamfam0620]

With my son, this was the set that got him into Pokemon cards. He still loves opening evolutions when he gets a chance.

[@fullpowercollectibles5861]

Evolutions is definitely one of my favorite sets! I’m so proud to have the Charizard and Blastoise ETBs in my sealed collection 🔥💧

Do you collect allot

[@fullpowercollectibles5861]

@@J.Crolss I do have a decent collection, but I mainly try to collect my favorite Pokémon which are GYARADOS and Charizard!!!

Evolutions is the only set I have ever completed. Back at the beginning of last year boxes were selling for £150 and I took a punt and bought 4. Got lucky and was only missing around 12 cards so bought them off ebay and finished it. 6 months later boxes were going for insane money. So glad I finished the set when I did!

[@AFCManUk]

I'd love to see a full 'Clay Art' special set. Those cards are gorgeous.

Can't wait for the return video rev! Great video as always

Amazing bro. Love these videos! Great pulls.

[@Carlos-hq8tb]

Love it I miss evolutions! They’re the ones that got me back into Pokémon

[@klankyburd1183]

I remember when I was like 8 and started collecting Pokémon I hated getting evolutions packs for some reason

[@rockinthebunny1392]

Wow my heart dropped too Rev when you were looking behind the reverse charizard. I thought for sure it was a double banger.

[@dimrah]

Raticate, Arcanine, Farfetch'd, Dewgong rare. Electabuzz and Magikarp common. Some previously common trainers uncommon. Non-holo Metwo. Types, weknesses, resistances and attacks changed in comparison to Base. To have some Evolutions packs or cards would still be cool but this set seems to have wildly mixed up a lot of stuff.

[@sleevethatup]

I would really love to open a few more Evolutions boosters... A year ago, i had opened dozens of them, but now...

[@JamesGour]

26:00 got me also. I was so ready for the double banger

[@greggoryz10]

Something special about evolutions in the cave with you Rev, magic every single time 🔥

[@DaddyChairman]

Wish I was into Pokémon 5 years ago. Love the classic set. 20 and 25 would been. Ice to have both! The booster boxes always nice touch. Sucks 25 didn’t do one

[@kreezy7483]

Evolutions is a pretty solid set i definitely agree! It’s crazy how you can pull cards like the og charizard , but no og venusaur and blastoise to complete the big 3 !! It’s still really fun to open though

[@n0na89]

Love this set ❤️ And awesome pulls 🔥!!

[@elijohn549]

Such a good ending!!:) love me some evolutions just can’t ever find any for a decent price. Great opening as always!

Its great and I managed to get the full masterset a few months ago for a decent price. My favorite cards are the ones with japanese text on the print

[@greggriffin287]

I would have much rather opened Evolutions than Celebrations since I only care for Base Set, Jungle and Fossil, but I wasn't into Pokemon cards from 2001 until earlier this year. I really wish I would have been into Pokemon when Evolutions was out as I would have ate it up. This was fun to watch- thanks for opening that box for us!

[@gchristoph4217]

I have a sealed box of evolutions and I want to open it so bad! But breaking the seal would probably make me pass out. Haha tough decisions, love your videos Poke’rev. Much love from Australia 🙏🏻✌🏻

Definitely keep it sealed! I understand how you feel!

[@ArticJC]

Yeah don't open this box! it's only going to keep getting more and more valuable

[@aaronye5313]

Five years ago I started collecting Pokémon cards and evolution was my first set, I still remember the excitement I had when opening the first pack.

[@aprilking6651]

How much was a pack when u got back into it 5 year ago I am guessing 3.50 to 4.50 a pack right

[@cheehee808_]

I remember when I got back into collecting back around 2017, there was so much evolutions printed no one wanted it. Still have a memory of my local card store selling booster boxes on clearance for like $50 a piece just trying to get rid of their stock lol. Wish I had picked up some to hold but oh well

[@zoruapl330]

I remember purchasing some evolutions boosters back in 2016. I often ask myself why I didn't bough more. The only good cards I dropped and have right now are three regular EX's and one holo

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always PokeRev & PokeCave!!!!

[@user-ob9hs2yf4z]

I joined along the hype tbh with Pokemon and I’ll admit that but I love to just buy and open packs and have fun with what I can pull. I don’t really keep anything for display and the first day I got into it I went to target and a local card shop. I got some crimson invasion packs lol and got a spring collectors chest of sword and shield at target which came with one xy evolutions pack, then I got a couple rebel clash packs. To this day that’s the only evolutions pack I’ve ever opened and it was a Charizard art on the pack and my luck was amazing cause I pulled a mega Blastoise ex full art card. I’m still not 100% how much it’s worth now cause it seems to change alittle here and there, but it made my day. Love this hobby.

[@TJayHaynes]

I really wish I would have stayed interested i. Pokémon during high school and such. Missed out on some good times…. But I am glad to be back now and really enjoy watching your videos Rev! Thanks for the good times and nostalgia trips 🙂👍

Evolutions is low key one of my favorite sets ever!!

[@hbombdotcom8950]

i opened a old booster box and found 8 Charizard's, and it seemed ever booster pack had a full art, a halo, or ex. i can not make this up, i was really sick when i bought it, and i feld like a higher power was taking pity on me. 2 were the base set halo, 3 were the reverse halo, both m versions, and the ex. no joke. i paid $125 for the box 2 years ago, all cards are real.
