Grades are already scary, but on old cards like this the difference in value gets to crazy levels, I’d be shaking lmaooo

[@yuribruza]

@@Pokerev_packagewhy are there people in the world like you

[@Eliotxshadowfrost21]

I always get so anxious watching these older cards be revealed with grades. I want them all to be 10’s!

[@victorHernandez-ld7vv]

💯

[@bradenbuchanan9359]

Brings back my childhood love watching you pull all of these older cards! Got me back into collecting!

[@francescob3439]

The time PSA takes to return the cards is insane. Love you rev.

[@YokkePutra]

Always loved graded card reveals video like this one, can't wait for another one in the near future!

[@borikengaming]

It’s wild the difference in price between a PSA 9 and 10 😂

[@victorHernandez-ld7vv]

For real and to know a raw card could be worth more then graded !!

[@dereknelson9887]

imagine kids having rare cards from their parents or friends and just playing with them very roughly, I cringed watching someone rip jungle cards for no reason

[@bluegamble2649]

It's in sane

[@johnny-ue2pk]

Always exciting to watch PSA returns, never know what mood they’ll be in when grading

[@NetherAngelGaming]

And that's the problem isnt it.....

[@garylobue3937]

The artwork on the older cards are just stunning

[@dmmerino1]

This is one of the coolest openings. It’s so cool when pokey rev does graded card videos

[@Chris-ot7lf]

Pokérev you never cease to amaze me with the unlimited content u put out. I appreciate your Grind and dedication. Thank you for getting me back into my childhood memories , and for getting me back into the hobby. Your the first pokemon content creator that I stumbled upon on KZbin about pokemon and I've been hooked ever since. There Is nothing better than the feeling of getting a big hit. I've gotten a few good hits but nothing crazy. One day I hope to get my first crazy psa 10 mint card to add to my collection. Lately I've been having really bad luck, I bought a silver tempest trainer box and like 12 single sleeve packs no hits and the bought the charizard upc no hits and my vest cards were the promos. I can't wait to get one of the really really hard chase cards to get. Sorry for the long message but thank you for another amazing video.

[@dantiques7322]

Could not agree more love pokerev ( and pokevault and top 10 pokemon) hope you get a great hit soon 😎🔥👍

[@gmakr2701]

It's cheaper to buy the card that you want instead of wasting money on packs and hoping to pack it, it's a gambling addiction at that point... Just buy the card you want and a couple of packs to open for fun, you'll thank yourself later

[@DavidDavid-fw5ve]

It’s always exciting watching grade reveal videos. Amazing cards rev.

[@southparkcraig]

I have to thank you for reviving my love for Pokemon card collecting, your videos are very addicting as much therapeutic aha don't ever change.

[@dejanstamboliski9989]

It’s crazy how much value they have and it’s mind blowing they’re only gonna go up what a treat this was !

[@TehBananaBread]

only going up? In what world are you living last 12 months? All prices came roaring down 80/90%

[@dejanstamboliski9989]

@@TehBananaBread and prices skyrocketing over the pandemic did make sense for you? Lol there’s always going to be a correction in the market as history has proven. so yes over time they will keep going up

[@dominicsanchez1729]

that’s what i’m saying lol

[@dominicsanchez1729]

prices sky rocketing over the pandemic made a ton of sense lol

[@snewstead1388]

Pure nostalgia for me when I watch you open packs of cards and scream when you get a hit. Amazing channel keep it up!

I love those old cards you can actually see the characters the new cards look like just glittery shiny shapes

[@dubstyle714]

Always love the vintage grades. To see something being well over 20yrs old and be in this great of condition is awesome!

[@taviaren3499]

Fun to see what the grades came back as.

[@dangoffard7751]

You grade some of the coolest cards I've ever seen! Love these graded returns!

[@TaskForce818]

Where can we find proof the giveaways are fulfilled?

[@brandonballard1004]

videos are absolutely awesome. I used to get on the younger generation for watching other kids play video games on youtube. Well here I am.

[@zizco27]

This is going to be an incredible grading episode

[@ciomuda2406]

Always fun to see the grades he has been anticipating for a long time

[@Wolfsberg04]

Crazy to see those cards graded. Insane!!

I can’t imagine how exciting it must be to open packs with these cards! That’s insane!

[@michaelmckee2842]

Excited to see the grades, hopefully PSA treated you well!

[@mebep1283]

THATS CRAZY HOW GOOD THE GRADES WERE

[@Cloudyconfusion]

Right?! I’ve never seen such high grades in the past few years. They’re getting so strict. Whoever was grading this was having a really good day lol

[@brandonb6239]

Very cool! I have never tried grading cards before, but the value looks like they would be worth it if they get a higher rating.

[@wavywynaut]

Thinking about grading my old cards soon! Trying to figure out how to pregrade them well to see if it’s worth it

[@sleprvrru6y-lin-92]

I just love the old style holo so much, the stars and swirls when are they gonna bring them back outside of promos!

[@snowflakechris6217]

Probably the 30th anniversary

[@snowflakechris6217]

It's called cosmos holo

[@ultimatecars9227]

Love your graded returns and amazing how some of them have such a high value

[@OkieTradez]

never knew this was a thing and now i have to go back and watch all these packs openings.. love it!

Ok maybe I will send them in. I'll at least check into it. I'm just nervous about sending my vintage collection in the mail. I cringe at the thought.

[@seano_db]

Some of these gradings are brutal! Cool set again

[@bamandy01]

Old card grade reveals makes me3 anxious lol Love the reveal vids.

[@Danny----]

I love seeing Rev just guessing the grade and getting it right so much of the time lol. Like I'll just have him tell me no need to spend my life savings to grade my cards.

[@peytonschnorenberg2084]

Hi love you Pokerev and your vids

[@Greatglenfiddich99]

That was a fun return. Grats rev on your 10’s, too bad those corners ruined so many. Would love to see you open and grade some legendary collection cards!

[@Giddy0908]

Grades are always both scary and fun to reveal

[@TrainerDee]

Your content always make my day man! Literally revived the Pokémon car collecting in me. I haven’t collected cars since I was around 10 and just about 2 months ago when I came across your channel it made me buy some etb’s, singles and here we are today! Thank you!

[@itschungus6345]

Let’s just all appreciate how much enthusiasm rev puts in his videos :)

[@Caltrmptguy86]

Sick! Love those base set packs. Too bad I'll never be able to open one myself.

[@Fab1LouS]

I just LOVE Grading Returns and Videos of those!

[@laurahetzendorfer1060]

The value of this cards aare truly amazing. I hope you make more of these types of videos!

Always really interesting to see how grading goes.

[@patrickclink]

Definitely open another heavy first edition pack!!! I loved the opening!

[@Jtshow510]

Dude just brought me to my childhood ❤ I remember pulling a togepi and had it for an hour when it was snatched from my binder 😢thank you bro for showing these beautiful cards ! You made my day!

Seeing cards like these takes us back to the good old days. lol

Hell yes open more! There so exciting to watch ✨

The Southern Islands Marill is my fav card all time. Crazy to see it in a 10. Had no idea it was so valuable. I'll always hold my damaged one near and dear ❤

Nice to get some insight on how cards are graded!

I wanna grade some cards but just need a good enough amount of them to do the bulk discounted tier, nice cards btw

absolute wonderfull cards and perfect grades for them. Grats Rev 👍

I remember when the packs were opened and couldn't wait to find out the grades!!!

[@reviewingbooksbyinspiration]

open more such heavy, first edition, shadowless, packs. I love these videos

[@patrickl4078]

PSA return videos are awesome! Keep them coming!

[@grahamegame5897]

I almost bought a 1st Edition Holo Alakazam from someone who was selling it for $30 until I found out he was 10 years old. Instead of going through with it, I decided to turn down the offer and tell him how valuable it really was. Could have very much been a proxy, but my morality felt good at least.

[@05tech]

All those bends on corners are from PSA staff or how the cards came upon opening??

[@jamh666init]

Which are more desirable/valuable the Japanese or English southern islands sets? I’d personally go for the Japanese as they are 2 years older but idk they are lovely cards and affordable

[@Robillard34]

Seeing gem mint 10's on anything vintage let alone 1st edition is just absolute goals.

[@coffertv381]

I love how this set art features multiple Pokémon

[@sl0wf.30]

hey man have a binder full of base set holos but most have white on the back but not a lot, are they worth grading? the fronts are all great.

[@davelabbe4370]

1st edition cards is always fun and the nostalgia factor is very high for me!

[@tores06]

Amazing cards, so nice to see these graded!

[@m_r_from_nc7800]

Should I grade my cards with PSA or Beckett

[@tomcatabay6163]

I've been going thru all my cards trying to pick out my best 10/20 to grade. Will be my first time ever grading anything

[@Michael-Gaskin]

The southern island art work is some of my favorites

[@LxB3Z0S]

Bro, I love your videos and you’re the reason I’m going to start grading my cards. I saw ONE of your videos and am now going through every type of card I have and ended up finding a card that is estimated 8k if PSA 10. Thank you for showing me this option.

Keep considering grading some of my cards but still haven't got round to it yet

[@RogueDestro]

This was soooo cool! I love seeing these southern island cards 💙

[@Cloudyconfusion]

That was SO nice of them to give you an 8 on the corner ding bend that you had for the red cheek pikachu. Should hve been a 6 with how severe that crushed corner was

[@kenanwilkie237]

Def gotta open another base first edition heavy pack rev!!

Thankyou rev for always bringing such excitement to every vid u do =] and that's not to mention the livestreams.

I got a bunch of southern island and 1st edition base cards I gotta send in for grading too. They definitely aren't gonna be getting as high of grades as yours though 😅😅

I have a ton of holos from the original base set but not sure what to do with them lol
