@Alex Briggs I wouldn't sell that as a collection, i would quite literally quit my job just to slowly sell them piece by piece. You do not sell this as a lot knowing you would have to give a sizable discount to justify it. And only buyers I see for that would be a big powerseller from Ebay that specialize in pokemon cards = they would try to get a very good deal out of it. Nah he has to do things right imo.

probably had a family member who owned a card store back in the day who opened packs to sell individual cards. Store must have gone bust and a decade or so later family member is deceased, and the cards are found. That would explain the hundreds of booster boxes needed to achieve a collection of this size, probably even got rid of bulk by selling them in premade packs.

[@Xekoroth1988]

Interestingly enough, years back there were uncut feed sheets which had hundreds of the same card in a very large sheet. They were fully printed etc just needed to be cut at the borders. I remember thinking if someone ever buys these and has a professional cut them out properly they would be rich. I'd be willing to bet this person (and presumably their father) bought those stock sheets and did just that. From watching the videos I propose that for two reasons. 1. Pokerev mentioned the obviousness of the ratio being off between common/uncommons to holo rares. While this is true a simple explanation could be they realized they werent worth anything and just dumped them once they had their current amount. 2. If you watch carefully when he counts the charizards, you'll notice the left/right centering is almost perfectly identical for about 20 cards, then the pattern changes and the next set of 20 cards are identical etc. This tells us that this cards were cut in the same literal batches (mind you the only way to get that level of precision would be to buy 500 to 1000 booster boxes straight from the factory, and even then you'd have to assume the factory made every box in your order sequentially without filling other orders between, highly improbable). The simplest explanation is often the correct one. They purchased feedstock sheets and cut them, then it sounds like someone advised the guy to say they were sitting in storage (for the serious collectors out there, there's a reason you don't come out and say oh I bought 100 charizards on a stock sheet and cut them). The reason you don't do that is because from a collectible standpoint those cards could be considered fraudulently produced. If the factory didn't create the finished individual card product [yes even if finishing the produ t is as simple as cutting a small yellow square] then it could be argued those are a different class of charizard and placed into a seperate collectible category and thus valued differently. For those that have never seen one before, here's a link to a google image of an uncut holographic machamp uncut stock sheet: images.app.goo.gl/ivNbQJJgZrkYRwJ97 It's worth mentioning these huge uncut sheets were never priced at the price of one of those cards times the amount of that card on the sheet because they were considered a unique seperate collectible thing.

[@CB-rv2lj]

I worked at a machine operating job this past year, I had to work with nametags made of different material. There was often material exactly like pokemon cards that I would cut with a very simple machine you would put each corner in of the nametag after you've cut them from the rows. For a nicer finish and clean beveled edge you stack them on top of each other (or do one at a time, usually the less is better for a cleaner cut) and push on a pedal. A metal cutter comes down and cuts them precisely. So I know exactly what you mean by the batches of cards being slightly off. You sound pretty spot on from my experience using those machines, it would not be difficult to get access to in a warehouse that makes nametags or a similar business.

[@MDSF9090]

Wow. I also collected Pokemon with just the goal of collecting the 1st generation of 151 cards back in 1999/2000. Once I collected all of them, I lost interest rather quickly and the collection sat in a closet for approximately 5 years until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, LA, where I lived in Lakeview at the time, in 2005. We had approximately 16ft of flood water in our area, only a quarter mile or lesser, away from the levee break. I remember when I went back to see the damage from the storm, I saw a few of my cards stuck in the muddy, sandy sludge that remained in the house after the storm. I was pretty apathetic at the time over losing that collection. Although, as time went on, I realized what I actually lost, since the cards I had were in absolute mint condition, probably close to PSA 9ish. I was only 16 at the time and my attention shifted to girls and sports, amongst other things, naturally. We weren’t wealthy by any means. It took a long time to build that collection through trading and buying cards whenever I could afford it myself since my mom, who was a single mother of three boys, really couldn’t afford to spoil us with nonessential things, although she really tried her best to do so regardless of the hardships it may have caused her at the time. She was very selfless when it came to making her kids happy but needless to say, I was lucky to open a pack or two every couple weeks, maybe even once a month. That year, in 2000, when Christmas rolled around and we got some gift money, I went straight to our local card shop and spent $120 on a gem mint 1st edition Charizard. I remember it like it was yesterday because it was the very last card I needed to complete my set and after the cashier handed that card to me, I shouted, “I caught em all!!” and quite a few kids came up to me, extremely eager to see my binder of cards and attempt to make trades. Those were the days… _Those. Were. The. Days._

I have a little more background with these types. Parents worked corporate for Pokémon back during war with America with Pokémon printing.

The collection if graded, average $12 million.

[@michaelsnyder421]

I doubt most of these holos were in a pack to begin with. There are a couple of red flags but the biggest is the fact that none of them are first editions. If you’re collecting cards through various channels you’re going to get your hands on some first editions. To avoid any scandals it would be fine to have a huge collection of UNLIMITED edition cards that wouldn’t affect the value of the first editions that are limited.

i recently came across my old pokemon cards from 1999. i havent touched them since i put them in a box in the early 2000's . when i found them i took a trip down memory lane and had no clue how much they were worth til i looked them up.

[@habituallynostalgic6646]

Rev is bringing up good points and also being respectful about it. This person obviously is oblivious to how important it is to not just throw them in the 3 ring binders. I only put doubles into binders and I get the Ultra-Pro binders and also sleeve them and then put them in the binder. He probably scratched all of those cards up by shuffling through them and taking them in and out of binders. Idk it’s sad almost lmao

Back in 8th grade my buddy and I convinced our rich friend to start playing MTG with us and of course told him that buying boxes of booster packs(right when 4th edition came out!) was the way to go... needless to say I ended up with binders, yes BIUNDERS FULL of Dual Lands and rares that would currently total hundreds of thousands of dollars... Not to mention the rest of my collection I had started playing/collecting when "The Dark" was brand new.. All of my cards were left, forgotten about in a couple boxes in a storage unit..that was AUCTIONED OFF after an ex GF and I broke up and thought the other person was paying for it!! I lost a literal fortune...Still hurts to think about... So I can say from experience it's totally possible to acquire this kind of collection, VERY unlikely but def possible!!

Most of his cards had very good centering and the back had little whitening if any. It's amazing. If he sends all 111 Zards for grading, I reckon he will get back at least 20 back in PSA10 and that is conservative.

I got full collection, but never got a charizard though.. but I got multiple extreamly rare ones though like blazoids alakazam and mewtoo etc .. never bin out of sleeve like i font know 22 years later in a map .. but unlucky its not first edition print .. but im sure its still worth a penny or two i guess 😅🤔 10:59
