When I was in Japan in January the only boxes of VSTAR Universe I could find (granted didn't look too hard) was 11800 yen. My main chases were Leafeon and Glaceon Alts which I bought combined for far less than a single box.

[@E-A-Z-Y]

This type of greed, is how their market will die. Pokemon needs to prevent this. It’s one thing to hike prices, but to hike AND cheat people is crossing the line.

[@OpossumBud]

It definitely will end one of two ways, cards being too expensive to be moved expect by other Japanese card elites, or it will crash. You right

Bruh this is actually wild. I hate the effort put into scamming rather than something productive

I would like to see pokemon go back to Special shrink wrap on the outside, But instead change it for every set like have the set symbol on the outside that way you can't copy it once and be done it changes with every set

The special wrap and the pull tabs all around the whole box would help a lot… truly

[@nevercold808]

Great vid, man. The depths these scumbags go to scam people is unreal. That random, yet very fitting jab at Kurt's card care had me rolling. Good on you for sticking to your guns with not buying Japanese boxes at the current secondary market prices. I'm doing the same. I wasn't a huge Japanese collector but did dabble in it on occasion. No more for me until prices drop to a more reasonable level. I think current prices combined with FOMO is going to run a lot of collectors (especially noobs) broke. Shit is legit unsustainable. Crazy how so few see this.

[@lv13david]

You can get tons of awesome singles for dirt cheap prices. Full art and rainbow secret rares are generally unwanted (and they have amazing texturing compared to the English versions). The CHR and AR cards are all amazing and affordable. There's even a good amount of CSRs from Vmax Climax that are (or were) quite cheap. You could make a killer binder just out of those cards. Most of the Radiant/Sparkling cards are also very cheap (I think Charizard, Eevee, and Jirachi are in the 10-15 range, those being the most expensive).

[@CaliLifeTCG]

I’m like 909 dope that’s my area code, but I’m laying of this set at the moment! Investors and scalpers are taxing!

[@Meowtro]

Time to call it quits on Japanese collecting for me, just becoming such a rich man and scammers hobby. Not worth the hassle anymore. Sets coming out with $500 cards is just stupid too.

[@robotZER0]

I think PC for both US and JPN need to not only use seal with logos but also place VOID stickers (the ones that indicate tampering if they are cut or lifted with a peeler) on all edges that can possibly be opened. Sucks that it may have to go this far but less people are going to buy sealed product of the integrity of the box with the current security is in question.

[@OpossumBud]

I agree with you, and also thank you for using JPN instead of the other three letter abbreviation 🙏🏽 really collector of class you are!

With the MSRP prices going up on product from the company. How come japanese boxes dont have the repeated pokemon logo on the sealed plastic wrap? Was always a red flag when receiving an english booster box with plain wrapping... I love theyre taking extra steps with the peel tab, but its still not enough apparently 😞

Why do they put so much effort rubbing serial number off and printing correct number in pack only for vstar universe, a set which has a certain number of types of hits, might as well just fill with gi joe everyone knows it’s a scam box by then 😂 I can see them doing that for sets like scarlet violet tho. I’m still buying sealed I buy from trusted sellers and I always open a few from the lot I buy anyway.

[@OpossumBud]

Because the money they can stand to make for that effort is more than what they would make just selling boxes. That’s why 😐 it sucks man

So I just ordered a few sets of scarlet and violet ex boxes, 1 from smoke and mirrors and 1 from eBay direct form Japan. How should I go about inspecting tampering

Check the sides for glue, check the wrapping for defects, and look at your packs. If they seem off check lot numbers under the pack slit

[@Art-bn7di]

I've been wanting to buy VStar Universe, but after hearing about all the tampering from Eevee Heroes and now the increased resealing tech, I think I will stay away or buy singles.

Dude it straight up sucks. It's insane how some ppl are in the hobby purely for the gain. I mean sure, you do you, you get the cards you want and sell the ones you don't or that are worth a few bucks but just trying to screw everyone up just so you can make the maximum amount of money is scummy. Personally, i came back to the hobby a year ago after being away for +10 years and the prices are just insane compared to before and it feels like you can't collect anymore if you don't have thousands to spend :/

[@OpossumBud]

The gain in the hobby has gone up and up and the ethics for some has gone down and down 😐 i appreciate you truly homie thank you 🙏🏽

[@ClaytonClays]

Daaaaam it. I was about to order some for vstar universe and vmax climax boxes. But now hearing from you about this is just pointless to continue. It was enought that shiny starV was at high price in the beginning but they weren't tampered like now. This has gotten out of hand and Pokemon company should be aware this isn't right. Regardless that Pokemon is making the money no matter what happen after distribution, but the principal of tampering and theft does not clear the issue of their brand. This is horrible for this hobby!

[@OpossumBud]

VMax climax might be ok, but VStar universe I would just go through a trusted store. Fixed rate one stop personally… too many hands raise the risk of this happening.. thank you homie 🙏🏽

[@JokesterAmmers]

The only reliable places to buy boxes from Japan now online will have to be through official stores (like Pokemon Center online)... OP of the video was given those boxes from one of their viewers who bought it from a mercari store begging them to go through the cards as one of the boxes they went through turned out to be a scam and as a result, they were. How sad... thanks for sharing the news with us, as usual! I never thought to check out Pokemon TCG in Japanese too I just might subscribe to them since it was pretty fun to watch them go through said cards!

@@OpossumBud I’d rather find out this way then the hard way.

Hope my guy doesnt screw me! I got a vstar universe box from him last month and all was good (got the Gold Palkia and a handful of other good pulls). I trust him, but if they are this believable, he could scam me, because he got scammed and didn't even know! Scary tbh. Scarlet EX is on the way, ill definitely be paying close attention, and this will probably be my last Japanese product, other than singles, for awhile.

I’m hoping your guy doesn’t screw your either best of luck man 🍀

@Opossum Bud thanks my guy, watched the whole video you linked too. Really glad you put this out ! It's absolutely nuts that they are not only selling these for ballooned prices, and then scam you like this on top of it. And it's not even me I'm worried about, I can afford to learn a lesson and get a bad box. But with all this I really do worry about the kids, the ones who finally saved up enough to buy a box they want and may not be able to again for a long while. Just to get ripped off like this. Makes me so angry to think about.

Yeah I’m just buying singles man - it’s gotten way out of hand. I figure pretty soon they’re going to price people out 🤦🏼 plus the good Japanese sellers are selling them high too. Plus the extra fear of reseals? NA 😂 thanks for this homie people need to see this! Singles life baby

[@OpossumBud]

I’m with you man singles all the way, and I would lose my god damn mind if I overpayed just to get jacked online 😐 i appreciate you big dawg 🙏🏽

[@shumaily5459]

😂 ramen bowl virgin gang!!! Need a sticker of this from the boss! I agree! I have been buying lots of cheap singles and some older English stuff as well. Anyways, happy anniversary to you and your lady man. Thanks for the amazing knowledge.

[@OpossumBud]

I really should make some merch based off these sayings 😂 thank you truly homie for real 🙏🏽

[@crg1850]
