I Investigated Amazon's Latest Pokemon Card Scams...

In this Pokemon cards opening, I reluctantly bought all of the mystery boxes I could find under "Newest Arrivals" on Amazon. Will these new mystery products be any good?

Buying mystery is the notorious scam of some one tricking a buyer into paying for a lot of worthless trash 😂 NEVER BUY MYSTERY. Automatic rip off. Crumbling a pokemon lovers excitement up into a pile of wigletts lmao

[@charliesmith7256]

It's called business. For every 1 amazing one there will be 200 bad ones .. Amazes me how people can't work this out ..

[@ZeD69420]

@@charliesmith7256 uh ho we found a seller

[@sophiesouthgate5990]

yea

[@Hambonenbrutusfloundersnutz]

Or the seller advertises exactly what the contents were the mystery will pictures of the cards in there ie pictures of the slabs raw cards and booster packs. I agree majority are deceptive in what is in the bags/boxes. I am someone that is attempting my mystery bag and the biggest thing I’ve received opinion wise is make sure the value is there ie if you’re selling a bag for 50 make sure value is there most eBay sellers that did them had some horrible odds like 30 dollar bags with a floor of 8 or 12 bucks and a ceiling of 175ish out of a 100 bags 30 of them were equal or greater value the other 70 bags were the bottom value. In my opinion if a risk is being made on a purchase in my opinion the most you should lose out on in a mystery bag is 15-20% meaning you get at least 80% of your money back. Getting less than 30% of your money back will definitely make you not spend anymore with that seller.

[@ThePeacePlant]

​@@charliesmith7256 not all business is good business. You act like calling it a business even though it's meant to scam buyers with the idea they will get good cards

[@Namor117]

Its good to have videos like this showing what bad mystery products are out there and what you might get out of them. I personally would just stick with official booster packs, they're enough of a mystery product for me.

[@beelegend1694]

[@noseylowis6857]

The code card was white in the Scarlett pack 6:27

[@nysyakbro]

I’d like to see a video where you do order with your name just to see if you do get better pulls. That would give more insight to the quality of these products

[@gavinfoolery]

Yo rev, thanks for having those winter pokerev packs out for so long and doing an extra release of them. Its so exciting to see what you get in them!! ❤

Thanks for putting this out Rev, lots of newcomers still buy from Amazon, and it sucks to see them get scammed

I appreciate your actual review and opion. And you’re right, where are the positive reviews and pictures of the people who pull the vintage packs or actual psa graded charizards, etc?

Only Mint was honestly surprising. Especially when a zoo pack immediately follows lmao.

It’s the element of surprise which is dumb. I bought one mystery slab ONCE for 30$ and it was a rayquazza V that’s worth a 1.50

[@PhantomAnpu]

It’s really sad to see many companies put basic cards in mystery packs that don’t even come to half the value of the pack.

[@SenatorAri]

Very similar to official Pokemon booster packs :p

[@polarforscher1047]

😂​@@SenatorAri

[@mng8680]

​@@SenatorAri No the official packs are truly random with what cards and fair probability of what you get, some third party companies remove the high rarity and cards from their own custom made packs so you literally have no chance of winning.

[@SenatorAri]

@@mng8680 Ah yeah sure.

[@urbnized]

@@mng8680 I wouldnt exactly call it fair probability. The probabilities are made to profit. Thats why so many people have so much bulk. And do we really need energies in every pack these days? Everyone has a box full and more. From ETB's etc. I feel that its time that Pokemon can sell those separate and make packs better with some guaranteed hits. Might be a .50 cent card. Might be a 100 card. All in all in the end they still make their money. Just make these damn sets a little easier for the kids to finish collecting. The game in my opinion has gotten away from kids and all around the scammyness of gambling.

[@ZacharyGalloway]

Worst part with Amazon direct they ship Booster boxes, ETB's and UPC's in bags so if you collect sealed the product always has some sort of dents or tearing. 3rd party sellers get away with murder by opening product and barely reseal and ship it to amazon to fulfil. Amazon doesnt bother checking so even after they get caught and someone leaves a negative review amazon removes the negative review and leaves the same generic auto generated response. "This item was fulfilled by Amazon, and we take responsibility for this fulfillment experience". And nothing happens to the seller and it keeps the ratings high.

[@brandonjarvis8717]

Fun video! Love the mystery pack openings!

[@user-el3yj3ws7r]

That review on the holy grails galarian darmanitan psa 10 that says "yeah its a gem mint 10 but these sell for 10 to 20". That's me... I regretted it 100%. 7:57

Recently, Amazon itself got into the Pokémon market in Germany. Many original products, good prices. In fact, e.g. 151 tins are significantly cheaper there atm.

Does anyone know the link to the "whatever that thing is" at the start of the video? Seems interesting

[@yumark5800]

Hint: you should screenshot/save photos of their “could get rare cards” picture and reverse search to see if they have pulled it from somewhere else to claim they have them. It’s a red flag if they did pull it from another listing or google images.

[@dzpdave1649]

Great video, I really appreciate you opening this stuff. So we know what to buy and what not to buy. Thank you.

[@whiteandblackmokona]

I mean that's the point of "mystery". It's basically the same as a lottery. The floor is gonna be super bad, the chase is gonna be super hard to get. And then the average cards are just gonna be meh. It's a way to market products and make money for the business owner. This doesn't even just apply to cards but it applies to many other things like blind box toys, sealed Pokemon TCG packs. I do agree that most of them are kinda "scammy" because the price for it doesn't justify the floor. The better mystery products are ones that the floor isn't too far away. Just remember nothing is too good to be true in life before you buy something. And unless you're willing to gamble and ok with the floor, then don't buy it. Also not everyone reviews products so it's hard to get a completely good idea of the pull rates of these products. I do enjoy your videos and the fact that you'd get these and open it so people will have some idea of what's inside them before they buy. Appreciate that.

Bro, it is the same feeling with your Pokerev Pack. I know it is not scam, but every drop I have taken, it was green tier, which make your pack real expensiv

[@urbnized]

I was coming to say the same thing. Hes saying these are scammy doing pretty much the same thing as he does with his packs. Like a $50 dollar bag to get rid of his extra inventory that is street value $20. His cost maybe $10. I get there are complete scams out there that know they arent seeding exactly what they claim. But then again how does anyone really check his seed levels. Ive seen big openings on his cards and noone gets anything big. Then other big youtubers get big stuff from his. Claiming they all order things anon.. Its why I am completely staying away from the mystery packs. Just not worth it in my opinion.

[@DukeLandrover]

When I first got back into collecting, I started by buying some random stuff on Amazon. Now, when I look back at those same cards, I feel like half of them are bootlegs. They just look weird. Or maybe I'm just jaded & paranoid now. 😂
