I Tore Open an $800 Evolutions Box In 2024...

In this Pokemon cards opening, I open up a booster box of XY Evolutions from 2016. After almost 9 years, is this still worth opening?

One thing I’ve always loved about these mega evolution sets are the Japanese letters translating the Pokémon’s move.

[@J.D.DaGOAT808]

fun fact: the japanese versions of the mega cards have the english translation instead of the Japanese characters, which I thought was neat

[@Tony_3XL]

Yeah that is SUCH a nice touch and vise versa for Japanese sets with the english.

[@TeamJohnParker]

SAME!

[@kianmar1901]

even the at for the normal EX cards during xy- sun and moon were awesome and worth collecting, the ex cards now or V cards are pretty lame

[@xcantshoot2216]

Crazy how much an evolutions booster box is, considering the price of the raw cards from this set

[@jzzzzzzsdww]

I was coming to say the same thing I just don't see the value

[@HarryFromCyprus]

A PSA 10 Charizard Holo goes for thousands

[@jacobnash1604]

@@HarryFromCypruslmao no it doesn’t, the holo zard from this goes for $350-400 in a 10

[@nightflash262]

Um... the same goes for alot of set especially older even vintage so idk why Evo gets alot of hate 😅

[@alfarouqaminufor3892]

Evolving skies booster box is around 700-800, at least you have a chance at a umbreon worth 1200 but that’s still a major risk lol

[@Halden.]

I can’t believe 2016 was eight years ago.

[@johnmcpherson4321]

I love that this set used the old school base set art. The nostalgia it gives me of opening base set as a kid.

[@TeamJohnParker]

Agreed!

[@Mr_10_Dollar_Man]

Number one community with zero cussing! Millions of followers 😊😊😊😊😊

[@TeamJohnParker]

AGREED!

[@BigSpring4048]

Wish I was back into collecting when these were on shelves

[@enthused7591]

It was glorious. 2016-2019 Ebay had a seller with hundreds in stock at $95 or so each. I was lucky enough to grab 10 of them roughly over the years, but nobody knew what 2020 would do to the market.

[@drmonstervibes]

as you said, this set was the base set for those who didn't collect back then or want to reminisce about the first days of pokemon card releases

[@TeamJohnParker]

OH YEAH!

[@noahsrandomraces4171]

It should not be $800. The most expensive card is only 50 bucks

[@TheGP10]

It’s definitely overhyped but a PSA 10 holo charizard regularly sells for over $1k which is mostly where the spike of value comes from

[@agentcrypto7741]

Not how sealed 8 year old bb work.

[@qopiqq3629]

Yeah but its also the rarity of the boxes. If 20 people want to experience open this one again and there are only 4 boxes left then there is a good chance that like 6-8 people will spend quite a bit, hence the price. You and ke would probably be one of the other 12-14, but that just means we don't bump the price up even higher

[@Borbiooo]

@@TheGP10 yea the only way you can really profit from this set is getting that charizard

[@MrWIIGEN]

@@qopiqq3629 The set is the most printed set ever. It was the cheapest set for years. Nobody wanted it before Logan Paul came from nowhere.

[@Hsarc-Z]

Opening an X and Y Evolutions booster box is such a nostalgic experience! The pulls were amazing-especially those Charizards and the full arts. This set always brings back great memories of when it first came out. Can’t wait to see more awesome openings, especially as we get closer to the 10-year mark for Evolutions!

[@TeamJohnParker]

True!

[@atomic_____]

i don’t even have to watch this video to know you didn’t even get 100$ in value back

[@TeamJohnParker]

LOL!

[@anarchyamp]

Yup

[@RyanMills-bq2ge]

This was the set that got me back into the scene after YEARS of not messing with it !! Pure nostalgia

[@TheWookieKing]

Those were peak times. Pokemon Go at its height, Evolutions, pre-pandemic. Who knew things would tank after this...

[@Instabilitygarrosh]

@@HUMAN.RAYMAN Easy thing to say when mommy and daddy give you a roof over your head and food on the table. Isn't it past your bedtime, someone's in trouble...

[@TeamJohnParker]

I Know I Didn't!

[@HarisAdam762]

I remember when Pokémon go was in its peak and everything was good and peaceful… oh how the good times roll

[@sh4downinja946]

I love watching the pack openings, I have autism and anxiety problems and these openings are doing the same effect as an ASMR video, I’m chilling and relaxing watching the cards.

[@TeamJohnParker]

Awesome!

[@radbradmusicartist]

I remember I opened this in 2020 and I got a holo Charizard! I ended up selling the Charizard for money when I needed it and I hate it 🥺 but I was still was so excited to have pulled it when I did! When I paid like 108 after tax! 🥰

[@ballininc5848]

Jeez I would love to open a booster box of evolutions ! Such a beautiful set ! Keep up the good work 👏

[@LuckyRTG3]

I love it how he asked for a charzard and got one the next pack 😂

[@TeamJohnParker]

OH YEAH!

[@nevercold808]

Wow, opening a booster box of Evolutions in 2024 is a bold move. I'm glad you don't crap on this set like a lot of content creators do, Nick. I like this set.

[@nocturne311]

Why don’t people like Evolutions?

[@nevercold808]

​@@nocturne311What I've gleaned from content creators who dislike the set is basically: 1) It's a reprint set. It was a lazy cash grab by TPCI during the Pokémon Go craze. 2) It was printed into the ground and was everywhere and in everything. No matter what tin or collection box you got, you were gonna get some Evolutions packs. And from my understanding, this went on for a VERY LONG TIME. These may not be the only reasons many old school collectors dislike it but those two gripes are most common in my experience. Personally, I wasn't collecting in 2016 so when I started in 2019 or so, I could still get Evolutions packs at a reasonable price and I had fun with the set. I never opened base set when it came out back in the day either so even more so I thought it was a fun rip.

[@nevercold808]

​@@kaptanklutchI think you should ask Rev himself. I have no idea.

[@TeamJohnParker]

I'm A Fan Of This Set!

[@ftfberetta3020]

the beeedrill pulls used to piss me off so much 😂

[@Currian_]

The Japanese letters are so crazy! I loved those! 🙌🏾

[@cris_wya__172]

I like when he opens these packs, these are always the most interesting videos😃 you should make a video on grading these.

[@Fonley]

Its been 8 years already?! Im getting old

[@lilkreekz8226]

Please get them graded, it would be very interesting to see how the grades turn out

[@TeamJohnParker]

OMG!

[@Hi_Its_Ryder]

Pokémon x y evaluations is my FAV❤

[@Missmagius1611]

Love the idea of opening once a year, let's do it 🎉😂❤ fan of this set ❤

[@edgararellano3131]

Never got to open evolutions but always dope to watch the pulls 💯

[@Tsukuyomi421]

Nostalgia will always make us empty our wallets lol.

[@TeamJohnParker]

FACTS!

[@MrPackAddicts]

I love the oldskool cards ❤

[@RithyFilms]

No pinecones were hurt during the making of this video.

[@TeamJohnParker]

LOL! FACTS!

[@viola7647]

I love watching old card sets being opened ❤

[@tanookilord]

The nostalgia is strong with these cards. 😮 Some great old school art!

[@jeycholz]

XY Evolutions was the best!! Wish I had more of those to open!!

[@TeamJohnParker]

SAME!

[@jesalparmar2027]

It is nostalgia for many of us. I recently bought crown zenith packs. Waiting for it to deliver. So excited 🎉🎁

[@jaypo7]

Great video as always. Yes, please do the follow up graded vid! 💪

[@samuelaguilar7024]

Remember buying one of these boxes, I should probably get my charizards graded 😅

[@Uchiha_cards]

I love evolutions and regret no opening it more 😢. I was little and didn't know what sets to choose back then, so I just got whatever 😂

[@art2you.]

So nostalgic seeing this cool old school artwork 👌 reminds me of opening the gen 1 set as a kid

[@SHD-W]

How many of yall remembe when pokemon was fun to open and not expensive?

[@FranklinDelanoBluth999]

Love XY Evolutions! It was the set that got me back into collecting Pokemon cards, and it was the first ever set I mastered!!! Thanks for opening a box for us Rev 🤩

[@mahzarfazhar9637]

Really nostalgic seeing base set cards🥲

[@madmikegaming3372]

Amazing throwback! Crazy how time flies man... have to enjoy it while we live in the moment!

[@_ivnn2dopee__]

Getting back into collecting these cards have been great !

[@Wisefury]

Just got back into collecting. Your vids def got me back into them. Specially the nostalgic first edition openings.

[@RepublicOfButter]

Love that set. XY breakthrough brings the most memories

[@samuelborneman2364]

Just got back into buying packs and doing this stuff but when I was younger I remember watching pokerev all the time I love to see him still going

[@ashleyhorne1662]

I miss this set. Love seeing you open these.

[@DionHorne27]

You should do a box battle between Evolutions and evolving skies 😅

[@illheart]

CTR’s favourite set I believe 👀🤣

[@SithCommando236]

Always fun to see Evolutions opened! Definitely would be cool to see how the hits grade!

[@starwarsfreck515]

I haven't collected pokemon since I was a kid and now from watching youre videos I have started collecting again thank you man

[@enerjaydrinks]

I love that old holo texture! I'd love if they brought it back for one of the modern sets :D

[@mols183]

Great set, good to see you open these again 🎉

[@yorkshirebhoy4049]

I missed this set when it released. The card designs are great they really enhanced the orginal artwork.

[@colinsmith5041]

Nice, love anything related to og series, the nostalgia is real! Would love to see some team rocket or gym challenge opening soon!?!

[@towguy82]

This opening can go either way 😂 hope the pulls are with you!

[@ZachG526]

I missed this channel, I'm very happy to be back

[@_PokeLynx]

This is definitely a throwback for me as well! This was the fiest set i opened as a kid

[@tashaw5921]

Really cool to see an older set opened up :)

[@marbles0da]

the numbers on that chansey card are insane!!! i love how you showed us those stats!!

[@whitetiger201124]

You have revived my pokemon card hunting. My collection is sitting at just over $6000 ready to pump it even higher. Ty for the inspiration

[@Thelegendofvik]

Love this set! Brings me back to the good old days. The feeling of pulling a holo charizard would be incredible

[@ootzous]

One thing I like about this set is the secret rares not being in the rate slot.

[@jadenermish4216]

This is one of my favorite sets from this era so cool to see you rip a box

[@TeamJohnParker]

It's A Nice Set!

[@ryanbrown6814]

You should definitely do a follow-up graded returns video! Hopefully hit that chansey 10!

[@notkatieparry]

These videos be making me want to go out and start collecting like I did as a kid. I was looking at binders on Amazon 😅

[@alexbaeoh]

I remember when I was 3, I got a Mega beedrill box and pulled a break and thought it was the most and best card in the world😂😂

[@general-artistphilb9131]

Hell yeah, cant wait to see these graded 👌

[@nicklazaridis1060]

I remember watching you hit 1mil subs it was super cool now you’ve double it and more

[@RyanMcMorrow]

I have always preferred this type of opening to the ones where he sells and opens packs for other people, it feels more fun with he pulls something for himself.

[@playertroll197]

Returns are pretty rare in such packs but man the feeling when you open any old pack beats everything!

[@the_ram9513]

These videos are what got me back into pack openings!!

[@liambarfield3108]

The quality of your content now compared to the Gary Vee video (when I first watched you) has grown infinitely, great work!

[@conradvx]

I really love this set, wish I could open it myself. The nostalgia for base set gets me for sure.

[@fartso]

This set is always fun to crack! So many different types of hits

[@OnionKing7657]

Way to good of a channel, I love Pokemon and I'm trying to get back into it ❤

[@salvatorefinnegan]

This is definitely a cool set that makes you feel like you are opening base set but with a twist!!!!

[@PokePitcra]

Love to see an Evolutions opening 🎉

[@mustanggt8667]

i like this set but i would really love to open the vintage set pack over this one any day never have yet

[@KnoxvilleRailfanProductions]

This had just released when I got into pokemon cards 8 years ago, and here I am again, about to start collecting them again. I have 100s of EX/GX cards and I’m excited to add on to it after a few years.

[@samersalama6275]

You opened an $800 evolutions box as easy removing gum off the bottom of your shoe. Love it!

[@Sukasaha]

Love the opening and pulls! I miss the X&Y era of cards! 😭

[@dragoonknight7518]

Always wanted to open cards a lot but the money is never right so glad I can watch people do it on here

[@PhantomAnpu]

Can’t believe how expensive these boxes are now but it’s such a good set!

[@poohshiestyclips9286]

What an insane year for Pokemon, I’ll never forget it

[@unholyterminus8823]

I remember these were everywhere in all of the collection boxes and people were tired of them, funny how things changed.

[@nicoschneiderfitness2842]

Such a great set. Gibes me the nostalgia vibes 👌🏻

[@Xslayer-Roblox]

I love your videos, and I remember break cards, my favourite was the mach amp :D

[@reignoffire23]

Love the throwbacks with these

[@poketrucker]

Still kicking myself for not buying these boxes out when they were $80 a box lol

[@SmithTolle]

Hit rates are such better then modern packs. Really wish it could get back to this!

[@tjmoore8560]

Love your videos. Seeing you got me back into collecting cards

[@koolkonner9023]

XY Pokémon card packs are nostalgic to me. That was when I first got into Pokémon cards

[@quinnhoversten3225]

Loved this set. Got me back in to collecting. Cheers Rev!

[@anonymousluvv999]

wish i could've collected these more before price went up 😢

[@Hyp-hin]

I remember opening XY as a lil boy. So much nostalgia

[@NewbAvenger]

CTR loves evolution in silver tear mystery pack.😅

[@Kravenmoorehead69]

Evolutions got me back in the hobby. Now I’m skint 🎉

[@KCTheHedgehog]

Dang, I remember being super into the games back in the X and Y era, but i guess the trading cards just flew under my radar at the time

[@NrexDreads]

I remember buying so many of these packs as a kid, still have some cards in my Pokémon binder.

[@kbgfishing908]

Would love to see a follow up video of grading these cards

[@Ready2winReady2win]
