This would be interesting, however, I don't think you will see the results you expect. They most likely do not speak English, know nothing about Pokémon cards, just in it for the cash and are far too busy scamming people, so who knows if they would even know who PokeRev is.

[@gat0rcrazzi]

I’m glad you do these anonymously. These types of things are becoming more frequent , especially with the resurgence of collecting, and are usually quick cash schemes using leftover cards and weighed packs to ensure profit. It’s wack , sorry for the pulls you got, but also thanks for shedding light on it.

i saw these on ebay as well and im a fan of mystery boxes, but i checked out some other youtube videos and its definitely just a card dump advertised as some professional, top of the line mystery boxes.

In 4 boxes only that world championship card was interesting.

I ordered this exact same thing (Gold Level) and got a GMA 10 Raichu as well lol. Honestly the best thing in it was a first editions neo gen Cyndaquil that came in the random stack of cards. Big L overall.

Thanks for doing these. Definitely puts these companies in check and helps save a lot of people too, while being great content. These companies may not be the gold standard but at least you are Rev

[@collectorjesse4291]

Thanks for the video Rev! It’s still greatly appreciated that you take the hit so more people can understand the less reliable things that are sold on eBay. I actually had a friend who purchased the same thing and got a 1st edition zubat GMA. Even being as big of a youtuber as you’ve become, you’re still looking out for the people in the Pokémon community! Thanks!

[@MrSfan69]

I love your vids

[@ColdThresher]

I got 2 silver boxes back in March. My graded cards were a GMA 8.5 Charizard GX and a PSA 8 Rev Holo Fletchinder. I also got a Vivid Voltage booster pack on one and a Shining Fates on the other. Nothing crazy pulled. But it was fun to try a couple mystery boxes. I do not recommend. It's one of those novelty things you get just for the fun and mystery of it, hence the name lol. But yeah. That's not to say people won't ever get anything great, because I'm sure there are a few who have. But not worth trying to invest in this other than for the fun aspect of it.

[@Trainer-Red]

It's absolutely baffling how people turned this amazing hobby into a cash grab as if people can make millions off of a single pack of cards and now you can hardly find a pack of cards in stores for your own hobby sure its cool knowing the prices I wouldn't try selling them for over priced prices but the scalpers or people who are only in it for the money stake out at the stores when they get restocked and buy em all out its ridiculous and leave none for anyone else only thinking of themselves and their wallets and they think its okay mystery box salesman included they've just been around longer than the scalpers I blame Logan Paul for this too he turned it into a cash grab and I kinda despise it I can never find cards in stores around me because people think they are gonna become millionaires off of a pack of Brilliant Stars or Shining Fates or Celebrations because it has a reprint of Base Set Charizard in it it's stupid sorry for the rant bro.

[@lukewarmninja9767]

how much does it cost to grade a card? it would be kinda interesting to see how easily profitable it would be for a small trading card store to grade random freshly pulled singles and sell them in a mystery thing. (maybe the card store would open packs from previous sets that they have extra stock of instead of putting them on clearance or something?) it's mostly to see what it would be realistic for a character i made up to price stuff at. i think he would likely opt for psa and becket since those are the main two.

[@m7boergoats]

Depends on who does the grading! PSA/BGS right now are $200-$600/card but CGC is like $15/card
