i like how you slowly go through all the cards in the packs. instead of rushing just for the rares, i find your videos nicely done. And i get to read the attack texts too! keep up the good work!
@@a.salem2386 that is true but most of us subscribers like him for that unique video style! he doesn't really like overreacting to rare cards and such, and most of us just appreciate that part about his channel :)
You're going to want to send in that dark golbat. It has a misprint where it says Apply Weakness and Resistance without a space, whereas the holo version says not to apply weakness and resistance.
I'm glad I finally found this channel for Pokemon unboxings. There are WAAAY TOO MANY Pokemon YT channels where the person has to act moronic like he just downed 10 shots of espresso and be completely obnoxious the entire time. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.
+you cant fuxks with me. "power creep" basically means that the cards are slowly getting stronger and stronger over time, so when you look at these old cards you notice the damage of the attacks and the HP numbers are a lot lower compared to the more recent cards
@@SoldierOfFate Not true at all.. lol Just creating new innovative effects is just as viable. Power creep is a shitty excuse to get you to always buy new sets.
watching these videos are really satisfying. it brings back the child in you and the excitement and anticipation you felt every time you open a booster pack..
The nostalgia is real. I'm really excited for some 1st ed WOTC packs to arrive in the mail soon, but I'm still some ways before I can snag a booster box!
PrimetimePokemon thanks man :) I also appreciate when you give an approximated ratio of what you might expect to get from each box... Very helpful information indeed. Good luck on the pulls tomorrow and I'll keep my eyes peeled for the upload!
The jump between 2014 and 2024 is not far from now. They were still getting used to Pokémon XY and I remember people where burnt out with pokemon at the time. Product wasn’t selling so much for diamond and pearl and white black didn’t do so good so so much product from ex era and rocket and returns to diamond and then gold series was just so forgotten coming in with XY it was after the Covid aria that everything went BOOM in price so much that now we have whales in this hobby now for sales like this booster box. But to answer your question probably max 5 years ago before 2020 took off you were able to get a lot of this stuff at very decent pricing like 600 dollars in the video maybe more with tax but was a fair deal the hobby really wasn’t so big! But now everything is so expensive. I actually remember seeing heart gold and soul silver packs in target and ex guardian packs at target but I always blew it off man just imagine all the gold I missed out on all the vintage stuff will always be the best because the artwork and pieces were really taken into care when no one cared back then basically
Primetimepokemon ... That's a misprint dark dragonite it's supposed to be a holo check it up I have it it's worth about 100 dollars ... Get that psa grade ASAP
ive loved ur videos ever since i was around 10! i love how u slowly go through everything and how chill ur voice is as well. i remember having some of these cards when i was younger & how i'd pick up little bags full of misc pokemon cards from my local thrift store. thank u for being such a huge part of my love for pokemon card collecting and part of my childhood too!! :)
absolutely love the artwork for this set. brings me back to when I was a kid for sure. would love to track this series down someday. thanks for sharing, sir.
Awesome memories! I wish I kept all my cards when I was growing up. I recently start to collect pokemon cards with my son. The new cards are cool but nothing will beat the old school cards
I’m glad I got into Pokémon last year. Yes the hype got me interested and it took off from there. Only problem is now I want to buy sets from black and white, platinum, xy, and sun and moon and it’s expensive. Wish I got into it when I worked part time at toys r us I remember seeing things but never got into it. You definitely helped me look into items and I appreciate how well you explain things in your videos.
I like how you kept your patience after the first 5 or 6 packs with only one holo and all the cards seemed the same in every pack! I'd have been going mental! But all seemed worth it when you pulled the dark Charizard :) even i sighed a breath of relief
I have always enjoyed the art on the Team Rocket set, the Flat and Dark style is just too cool! Thanks for all the great videos! That Dark Dragonite though!!!
Man this box opening brings back the feels! I remember I got a few team rocket boosters (3-5 I don't remember how much) and I pulled the 1st Ed holo dark charizard and 1st Ed holo dark raichu. Needless to say my mind almost exploded when that happened. I still have my holo raichu after all these years, but I lost my charizard (family probably trashed it by accident). Thanks for the post and memories :)
Is there any difference between an EX Team Rocket, Team Rocket, and Team Rocket returns booster box? I'm trying to pull a Gold Star Mudkip, Treeko, or Torchic.
EX Team Rocket Returns is the official name of the booster box you want to buy. Team Rocket is another set that was printed much earlier and only includes holo cards.
I remember when this set first came out my cousin said I couldn't keep these in the sunlight or any light because it would completely damage them. So i would only look at them in the dark lol
Usually you should get 12 per box, regardless of print, but 1st edition is where all of the kinks were worked out so you could get some boxes like mine.
