Man Finds $10,000 Pokemon Cards Collection In Storage (opening it)

[@Leonhart]

*Thank you Will for taking us through some amazing memories!*

[@joshuamcfarland7678]

He had just a tiny amount of cards😂.... wow though!

[@JJLee-q3b]

second reply leonhart :)

[@MrGchow]

It's like going to a friend's house to see his collection. My favorite pokemon is Ivysaur.

[@crob4286]

Reminds me of the good days. Not a care in the world just trying to catch em all!

[@DavidChan-k7p]

Wow I remember winning that pokemon wallet in the arcades at circus circus in Reno when I was younger

[@JuMoney916]

The winner here are the parents, those parents are awesome and hope this dude knows that.

[@MuLK3y]

100% my parents dumped or sold a lot of my childhood stuff. Even my old N64 :(

[@XingCollectables]

Yea if i were him I wouldnt be selling this stuff. Maybe some dupes. But if i still had my collection from when i was a kid that would be the only stuff i would of never got rid of. Even the shadowless charizards I had and every holo made up to legendary collection set.

[@thegie]

If he sold this for 10,000. He got ripped off really bad.

[@Adept4Adept]

Don't you think he'll think first before he sells at that amount?

[@FullMetalC]

@@Adept4Adeptpeople don’t think

[@debell22]

Collection is prob worth well over 100k

[@Thatdoesntcostmoney]

He clearly doesn’t need the money

[@SlightlyOP]

There's money there no doubt. One high grade can swing value immensely, but all that takes additional expense and vetting the cards worth grading. I'd say the collection is probably worth around 25-30k, 12-15k short sell, but if you took the time to grade vintage $100+ mints or better you could squeeze 35-45k out of everything

[@Luckduckten]

This is literally a Pokemon museum. Imagine the collection room you could build around this stuff. Great trip down memory lane

[@kedjfj798]

@@AnuddaGoy I mean, who wouldn't want to feel or be able to look back and say "holy, they went above and beyond for me." This dude doesn't just have that, his family also stored his stuff for 25 years and gave it back to him! Who wouldn't be jealous of that? Or want it? You must be as spoiled as he was. 😂

[@panthrtail]

@@AnuddaGoy the word you’re looking for is envious, which, along with jealousy, is a perfectly normal and valid feeling 👍

[@kelm7908]

Not everything is super liquid, but the value must be well over $10k

[@Jeremyyyyyyyyy]

It’s weird how a lot of these people who find their massive old collections let them go to millionaire streamers and KZbinrs who have multi million dollar collections for pennies on the dollar. Rather than someone who would pay closer to the value that would actually enjoy and display it, now they’ll be categorically filed away and never seen.

[@marygibbs6265]

A friend of mine recently found a. box full of Pokémon cards. And we are looking for someone to help out with finding out the value of them.

[@chipsdubbo5.56]

@@Jeremyyyyyyyyy probably because they have the cash and it's a quick easy sell, instead of taking months or years to sell everything individually. But I agree it's stupid

[@XingCollectables]

not even selling to people that would enjoy it. They could sell this stuff to a smaller seller at a con or something and likely get at least 65% of the total value. If I was in the market to buy collections I would of bought all of that for 70% and that gives me 30-50% return on my investment. Since some stuff could be sold for higher than market depending on condition etc...

[@Aaron-g2i9c]

I like these videos by Leonhart the most. Nothing over the top, but a dude who is super into Pokémon and Pokémon history being stoked for this collection. This is my favorite and seems like the most genuine form of Leonhart. Very great video and very great content. Keep up the great work!

[@ifrit4545]

"found"? He grew up a diehard pokemon kid who had a huge AF collection.

[@XingCollectables]

Yea man looks like he held onto all those things over the years, not his parents lmao

[@HanzIsGerman]

The end of the video where he shuts it off to "price it all out" felt like him saying "You don't want to see this next part, I'm about to screw this guy"

[@hvr8463]

Yes, because the other guy is unable to say no. Use your head

[@Skylased]

Lowballing his cards that holo zard is not approx 100$ 😂

[@rotobaitorx8854]

Bro he always be judging other peoples cards saying oh not bad but I have blah blah lmao. Like dude relax

[@avi]

right i wish any of these prices were accurate haha

[@Ablumz]

this is closer to 20k easily. If he sold everything for 10k that's pretty brutal. I'd take it all right now for 15k

[@keithpeters7017]

More like 50-100k cards were pre Munch nm or better sealed shit dude got ripped off

[@esquire2390]

Oh, I just forgot I had 7 large picnic tables worth of pokemon cards and pokemon related stuff. This exact scenario happens to me all the time. How you forget you opened all them packs as a kid? 😂

[@JackalopeBunny]

Good question 😂

[@chipsdubbo5.56]

@@esquire2390 he was probably so rich he had a million other toys and video games and he literally forgot about Pokemon 💀

[@ginjuice686]

Leonhart ripped dude off. This kinda murder scene shouldn’t even been recorded 😂

[@melvinturcios1876]

His lack of remembering of how he got these cards leads me to believe this was more of mom’s collection, but good for them creating memories. Great content Lee 👍

[@Trump_Train]

This is a amazing collection, Leonhart needs to get a hands free camera the way he was handling some of the items gave me wild amounts of anxiety for something that isn’t even mine 😂

[@RPGseeds]

I seriously regret giving out my cards from the early 2000s. I've seen a lot of 1990s cards I had in binders. Live and learn, I just started collecting again and have ZERO intentions on parting with them until I'm trying to retire. 🤣

[@SuperEvilmonkeyz]

The metal coins at 15:47 were not for flipping, but for spinning! You'd battle with the coins by spinning them next to your opponents coin and lining up the results. Three random coins came in a pack. One of my favorite collectables!

[@andykinlaw3560]

My mind is blown. The first card that got me into Pokémon was a Ponyta my best friend gave to me in kindergarten.

[@PokeSauce903]

Bar far one of the best videos of an actual childhood collection... INCREDIBLE! The memories returned... thank you!

[@Clappincardboard]

Agreed. Very happy he was able to film this. I also love the guy was a player as a kid and didn’t just collect. Those stories are always great to hear.

[@charbabyFNF]

Like stealing rare candy from a baby.... Straight up low balled him. $10k... No way.

[@chipsdubbo5.56]

Most of that stuff is in good condition, $10,000 wasnt a fair price

[@AdRedOne]

Mom’s gonna come home and be like “Will, have you seen my pokemon cards?”

[@IxHATExUCLA]

Yeah.

[@iR3pSnapBacks]

Poor dude probably got low balled so hard.

[@FF-7]

Only 10.000????😂no way

[@interestingbuys]

moms like, " OH NO.... HONEY.. I THINK YOU HAD MORE THAN THAT>?!>!

[@wouwou9146]

18:20 My mom brought two of these for me from a trip to Germany. The city one and the forest one. I added more mini pokemons to them by buying pokemon lollipops (there was a pokemon figure at the top of the stick, under the hard candy) and my dad cut them off for me so I could play with them. I still have those here at my very own house in my work room where I keep my collection. This video brought so many memories from my childhood as well. I think I am about to open the box of my pokemon items right after watching this. Anyone else here in their 30's and still valuing these memories?

[@T1T021]

the way you just going thrw his collection TOUCHING EVERYTHING. saying u "trying to be delicate". my brain was screaming LOOL

[@Clappincardboard]

Awesome video and thanks for recording this. These type of collections (not just Pokémon) are becoming harder and harder to find. Love the stories behind him playing at the bookstore and in the league. Id imagine this would be hard for him to sell as it seems a good chunk of his life for a few years was Pokémon. Hopefully he kept the checklist he was making with his mom as that is priceless.

[@jameyjacade28]

I don’t think he got ripped off value wise at all but his own nostalgia from collecting with his mom. I couldn’t have done it for 1.4 million

[@tiredhooman6908]

Yeah seems like such a huge part of his childhood just sold. I wouldn't sell it personally either.

[@wills5481]

In the same situation I’d keep it till I die. Wouldn’t care if value went to 0.

[@timothywhite21]

Just the Charizard’s loan are worth over $10,000 and if you got them graded and the condition they are, they’re gonna be worth probably over $100,000

I was born in 97 so didn't really experience the first wave of pokemon craziness, the only thing I can say is good lord, they made a LOT of merch back then. I can't even comprehend it

[@Pokedex_Daily]

I cant imagine someone letting go of all of this. If I found my childhood collection, and this was what I had, it would have surging sparked my interest to get back in the hobby so much

[@jstncheney]

Not many adults get to experience their childhood in this way. The things I would do to locate my old binder my mother sold for 50 bucks in a garage sale after I moved out at 18 back in 2007. It would be a dream come true.

[@BigDirtDawg]

It’s something about this dude Leonhart that rubs me the wrong way. And if he got this collection for 10k he literally robbed this dude.

[@Knightsof2424]

Wow you robbed him smh

[@Soulreaper066]

Dude had the best childhood and the richest loving parents. And he sold it for 10,000.00. Yikes.

Hope he doesn’t sell! That’s years of childhood memories right there. A nice chunk of change is always nice but regret will hit right after. He should at least keep some of the stuff that holds a lot of meaning to him.

[@TystraDaisetsu]

Also, the metal coins were part of a game that was made where they would spin and whatever it lands on that was in the direction of the other coin was what happened for your action. I used to have a bunch of those. I just can't remember how the spinning worked for it, if it was with fingers or a spinner of sorts

I still have all my old pokemon cards from when i was a kid, my pokemon items are the one thing i have left from my childhood and i've been super protective of them since i plan on keeping them and continuing to add to my collection. My collection of older cards are nowhere near as extensive as this though. I'd get a few pack for my birthday or Christmas or on special occasions but that was it. this would have been my childhood dream. I feel like this collection belongs in some kind of exbit on display.

[@WilliamAmely]

I have collected quite a bit of cards, box sets, and other Pokemon related items over the years, for my Son when he was a little boy. I spent thousands of dollars on my collection. Glad I did it back then, as I couldn't repeat this collection at today's market values. English, Japanese, Spanish, and German Pokemon cards. It was fun to see my Son opening booster packs back then. Luckily, I also still have sealed items, too. It was all worth it.

[@AaronsSmallEngineShop]

That is so cool really brings my childhood back. Never had quite that much stuff but I had my binder and my cards. Wish I still did.

[@westa10]

@leonhart the coins at 16:00 were not for flipping they were a spinning top game. You would spin two at the same time and when they both stopped you looked at the icon or damage number touching each other and that's how you "battled".

Amazing video! I am super happy he found his collection. As a kid we moved a few times so all of my stuff got lost some how. I've seen many people with big childhood collections which their parents kept in their house attics etc. while their kids got older and went off to college etc. Then they refind their childhood memories intact especially after those parents never moved homes. So cool! lol.. I wish it were the same for me =] But till this day, Pokemon is still in my household hahaha.
