I Risked Everything...RARE Pokemon Cards FOR CHEAP!?

[@TheCheff93]

You have to buy from sellers with 10k+ sales on TCG player; they’re scared to send cards completely trashed because they wanna keep a good rating. Even “damaged” from those sellers are typically pretty solid

[@jayn9446]

You are right, cause I am one of those sellers 😂

[@RoyalT25255]

11:13 “they actually let him cook”had me dying😂

[@kmzano03]

Good binder pieces for the most part. I got my base set charizard for about $120 - it's pretty banged up, but it's nice to see in the binder.

[@dia8183]

agreed- unless you want to grade a card, if it's an expensive one i'm totally fine buying ones thats creased or scratched if it bumps hundreds of dollars off of the price. i've bought some really nice MP vintage cards off of tcgplayer that look very nice in my binder.

[@DrDadPhD_13]

Back in grad school I picked up a base set ‘zard for 20 bucks (circa 2013). Got it graded and it’s a psa 5. I think it gives it charm!

[@linda3119]

Agreed. Plus if the damage is mostly on the back of the card, you won't even tell the difference. That's one way to get some rare-ish cards in your collection without breaking the bank lol

[@Rainstormcuddling]

I agree. If i want a card for my collection I don't care if it's slightly damaged. I don' have the money to get anything graded. I have a lot of the base set with a few damaged but I'm happy I have them.

[@jumpguys524-us1md]

Done and every like on this comment I will do a push-up

[@3amooorz29]

The Lugia: “I’ve never seen a holofoil bubble up like that” 😂😂😂 I cracked up

[@lamlouis670]

I died at “the card was cooked”

[@JocelynPedraza-o9m]

lol

[@Trigga0910]

10:55

[@wreakhavoc9238]

BATMAN cameo 18:32 “ MORE PADDING” in a guttural deep serious voice lol

[@cloudarya90]

this is how my entire childhood collection looks like

[@zachstoneburner7041]

My fiance and I were going through her old cards and found a gold star mew in pretty great condition. The fact that it was still $200+ with that kind of damage is wild

[@michaellashock9769]

I’ve been wondering what it would look like buying damaged cards from tcgplayer. I don’t wanna get a massive fold in the card and pay double digits for it.

[@jtipping93]

This is a good example of price against condition!! Thanks Rev!

[@Mees.J]

I would still love to have that base Charizard

[@jenshoffmann8035]

sadly my dad laminated all our first edition cards back in the day Charizard included sadge

[@TJpnw]

Imagine moving from cali to oregon and during the move 0 cards made it because of parents lol@@jenshoffmann8035

[@Chip-Machamp]

Wow this is my favorite video you have made!! Lol I always catch myself looking at cheap old cards and consider the risk and gamble 😅

[@shelbycornell9482]

I have that Umbreon and it came back as an 8. Was really hoping for a 9 😢

[@ojoelol]

If you think it has potential for a 9 you can try resending it in or using another grading company 😄

[@corinthiarobbins2990]

These are the kind of cards I want to send in to grade. I collect what I like to call “well loved” cards and my dream is to have a collection of cards with grade 1s.

[@ShoeFixers]

I'm pretty much looking forward to you grading those cards. Mainly because I have the Neo Genesis Lugia (First Edition) in my collection, but because I've had it since I was about 7/8 years old, it's not in great shape anymore 🙁 but it's still way better looking than the one you received😅

[@pokewheels]

Tbh sometimes for me it doesn't matter the condition I love buying someone childhood cards brings so much character to them so much fun

[@robrosen3162]

I mean, PSA 1 cards are definitely collectible in their own right! PSA 2s on the other hand…

[@SuperMattman88]

In the realm of looks 1’s are as rare as 10’s.

[@cliffvoelker9276]

Any card can become a 1, not every card can be a 10. 1 collectors are weird asf

[@santerial]

I’m pretty sure I used to own that shining gyarados. I bought a bunch of them as well as Magikarps in damage condition for $20 back in 2017.

[@anissa369]

Pokerev If this comment gets 1.000 likes. You have to make a stream of all the japanese Pokémon sets.

[@dadcanibeagirl]

Looking at the gyarados made me realize how reminiscent lugia v alt art art is to it, pretty cool to think about

[@olivertinggaardkrgli2303]

Which site is this bought from?

[@brochacho.]

he shows it at the start

[@sandrinelivpoulin1762]

His reaction to the back of the umbreon card was perfect 😂😂

[@spiderclips18]

There is a lot of psa 1 cards lol

[@rociomata5303]

No

[@CCIHill]

Dumb

[@blackkyurem9813]

I can understand the pain of having beat up cards but i feel like that’s what makes a card vintage and worth its value even if it’s not worth anything price wise. It just feels legit and it’s hard to keep super old cards in good condition anyway

[@tyler6726]

8:48 the last card I'd ever expect is a Mr. Mime. 😂

[@IliasKoureas]

To be honest these cards have a story behind them so its kinda wholesome

[@casmatron8046]

Props to Rev always hitting us with creative content

[@gamingwithfoss]

This is how all my cards look from back in the day. Nothing like just throwing them in your backpack before riding the bus, no protection or anything

[@peppe1633]

3:49 Still so good. The artwork seems immaculate, maybe some scratches

[@LeoChen-v6z]

Me in my childhood I used to my thumb above the cards, and whereever I did that there would be a crease lmfao.....

[@Robillard34]

It's always interesting seeing some vintage cards in varying conditions.

[@Gloom_moon]

I actually love this idea because if you just want them gems in your collection and don’t care about resale value, it’s a steal!

[@madslikescardboard]

Rev, you may not see this comment but I want to give you some feedback. This video is the exact definition of OG Rev. I can tell you’re just hanging out with us viewers (authentic), putting yourself in our shoes (relatable), and having a fun time doing what you’re doing (enjoyable to watch). This isn’t me dogging on your modern day stuff; you know we enjoy it. It’s just refreshing to see you remaining consistent through the growth and not getting lost in the sauce. More 🎉of🎉 these🎉videos ❤

[@pokefunzone2023]

these videos makes everyone excited

[@catatestrophe7499]

Hold onto that Shining Gyarados. The irony of the water damage might make it worth way more than you’d think.

[@sreyamagan8070]

These cards are actually great for people who wanna put the cards in binders, for example, to complete a vintage set

[@GreyWithCreamium]

50 layers of protection for a destroyed card, that was hilarious

[@KJantzen]

Unboxing videos always help me destress after a stressful day in school😃

[@Kumosss]

Even though most of these cards were in really bad condition, it's still great to have such beautiful cards in your collection. Only the torn back of the card hurt me a lot.

[@thefattesthagrid]

Base Set Charizard: "What's wrong? That all you got? I can keep going for another round or two..."

[@Toushiro336]

That lugia is indeed…. Cooked, that child learned that metal in a microwave is indeed not a good idea.

[@the6mayhem]

Love the videos! Just pulled the SIR Charizard from the obsidian flames booster pack at target!

[@strangesoul7091]

Is it me or would anyone else think it would be cool if next fates set was like celebrations but with all the old style shinys from before sun and moon. Some of those old shiny arts look amazing.

[@jy2967]

Yes that would be cool lol a reprint of all the old shinnies

[@_Helios_]

12:23 shiny PokeRev voice crack appeared! (love your videos man I treat voice cracks in vids like shinies)

[@Trigga0910]

19:45 theres another one here lol

[@jmorgan337]

This would be a great way to complete a set of you don’t really care about the card being in perfect condition. Thanks for the video Rev, this was fun!

[@natebassett3125]

I personally collect ding and dent for that reason, I know the value is low but having the card is so nice.

[@oozygoop1373]

The umbreon when you flipped it over 😂

[@Chace-i7w]

My son and I really enjoy watching your videos!! You're awesome!!

[@SarahBarlotta]

This is easily my favorite video you’ve ever posted ❤

[@andrewebersole8454]

I love videos like this. It’s such a risk but it’s so suspenseful

[@eelhajile3274]

This channel is what got me back into Pokémon lol

[@AliceinSilverland]

I just dont understand why condition is SO important for pricing a card. I mean a swing from from $23 to $2300 just based on condition. There is something wrong about that. I love the character and toning of vintage coins. Heavily played cards have been well loved. 🤷‍♀️

[@scottantisozialhardcorestuff]

is it worth it to send my original 99 ,sets to be graded there only commons ,but most of them in good condition ,i think there set 3 and 4 ?

[@cameronstarnes1193]

I’ve thought about buying some of the damaged cards off of TCG because they are some of my favorites, but this really makes me reconsider.

[@reapersassassinspaintball6392]

"ohhhh....OHHHHHHH!!!!"lmao

[@GalaxyDust]

That back of the card. Hahahahahaha. R.I.P. Thanks for risking to save us from scammers in Websites and truly go for the once-in events.

[@carlharvey7328]

Theyre relics at this point and i think it’s a great idea to buy these and give them a new lease of life. It’s nostalgic and takes me back so far, really good to see the old bangers! Cant wait for the drop on how they graded.

[@RuzzReacts]

Nidoking 🔥

[@BIG5]

I’ve never seen that blastoise card before. That secret rare art is amazing. But honestly I wouldn’t have paid near this much for any of these cards.

[@futureflying1498]

Some of those cards are in a really bad shape, but on the other hand they are still amazing ones!

[@honeyowens474]

Not too bad. Would love to put a few of those in the binder.

[@jonathianwitt2863]

That foil Umbreon you've got from Neo Discovery, that's literally the ONE card left that I still need for my (numerically) complete Neo Discovery set!!!

[@logancamarillo4758]

I like how some of worse conditon ones are packaged so well as if it's a mint card.

[@pascalruff1521]

a grading return video for all those card would be amazing

[@sgod4538]

got that shiny gold mew back then where i was a child ✨️🥹

[@endercrawler]

Buying stuff without looking at them is always nerve racking

[@omegateamsports5291]

The Lucia reveal had the same energy as the Godfather…look what they did to my boy! 11:13

[@goldenbullet5077]

Yo I can’t wait to see rev grade these

[@Miraiknox]

If I get 150 likes I’ll get a paldean fates ETB

[@calebconverse]

I like this kind of content, I look forward to the grading one. It’d be cool if rev uploaded the 2 back to back

[@aquaticgecko9871]

this is such a fun video idea- i personally love buying beat up cards because they're cheap and i think they have personality hehe

[@ltzethan7569]

the first charizard honestly wasnt the worse but its still funny to see these cards

[@TheUglyBinacle]

These cards came out of childhood binders for sure

[@PostMahonee]

I do this quite regularly in the hope that one day it will pay off!!

[@poisonprince5064]

That darkrai is GORGEOUS. WOW.

[@ryantasker6674]

Awesome video! Love seeing the high end older cards!

[@hashtagkevinchristopher]

That Shining Gyarados! I’ve never seen that card before! Highest grade I feel like would be a PSA 7

[@TheBookie13]

Can't imagine people handling their cards like this. Some of the best cards ever in these conditions, it's pretty bad to see. Looking forward to seeing the grades each one will get!

[@NixoMars]

The reaction to the back of the Umbreon was funny 🤣

[@creasekoko]

I do this for expensive cards on tcgplayer and they still look amazing in my binder!

[@fbom94]

I have bought a couple older cards in rougher shape just to be able to have them in my personal collection

[@daishoga]

I'd pay 96 dollars for that Charizard. It's still in pretty decent condition but I'm also the kind of person who finds that sort of condition nostalgic. It's like a card I could have had in my childhood. Always wanted one but never had one sadly.

[@mattbuell7303]

I love your “hey, don’t do this!” Videos. Your sacrifices are appreciated 👍

[@chow1017]

All those cards were super cool, interesting to see how different some people will ship them too

[@Dante8309]

This was a very fun video and interesting to hear your thoughts on the grading for each of these. Excited for the follow-up video later.

[@govindinformationtechnology]

3:37 He got the worst scam in the Pokémon history

[@Hurricain526]

That Lugia was atrocious 😂

[@Charakhai]

As always, I'm glad it's Rev risking his money and not me...

[@cwt4919]

I’ve never bought any card from TCGplayer, but it’s nice to see some cards purchased from this video.

[@tanookilord]

That missing chunk on the back of the Umbreon card is brutal. 😱

[@9000And1Fails]

Seeing that Lugia like that hurt me

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

I’ve thought about doing this. So I greatly appreciate the video.

[@dangoffard7751]

The risks you take always amazes me. I hope they aren't all fake or in terrible condition.

[@kkura970]

Can’t wait to see what grades all these cards will get

[@hoti8272]

Nice that you Show that too

[@michelleonart]

50$ for that umbreon and lugia in that condition is straight up robbery

[@nijswart]

love the Umbreon art

[@JuddVilla]

Let's get that first PokeRev Pack in the Philippines!!!! 🎉🎉

[@unlucky1353]

A lot of these cards are an example of why you don't store cards in a three ring binder.

[@psyberggaming4614]

Rest in Peace for that Umbreon! Lol
