This was an INCREDIBLE box to open. I pulled the best HOLOs from this amazing box. All HOLOs pulled had pristine surface and unbelievably no HOLO print lines, which is extremely hard to find such great condition cards from this print run even when opening a brand new sealed Booster Box. I came to the $26,000 number for the HOLOs if each HOLO were to be graded a PSA 10.

I remember being 7 years old on a thursday morning. It's 7am, and my mom is dropping me off at the YMCA, we stop by the local bagel shop right next to the news stand that has pokemon packs for sale. I ask my mom if i can have a pack of pokemon cards, and she sighs and says yes. I open my pack of fossil 1st edition while i eat my muffin at the ymca and i pull a dragonite. I think to myself, "what is he eating? is he eating a muffin too?"
I can smell those new fresh cards through my screen
Best opening I’ve seen. Straight to the point. Thanks for the vid

That’s awesome you pulled that, what truly blows my mind, Gen 1 and Gen 2 were so much different if it wasn’t for cartridge limits the games would have been longer.
I really do enjoy watching these buddy. Thanks for the content! Hope you’re doing well.
damn that dragonite card you got at the start is my favorite card in the entire game, love to see a fresh holo like that
Love your videos. It would be awesome if you showed us highlights of your current collection. Keep it up! 👍🏻
I remember this booster box very well because I got it for my friend when we were 7 years old. That birthday party ended up with me getting picked up by my dad on the freeway because the other kid's dad who was driving us got pulled over and arrested for DWI and popping pills of some kind. Good times.
I'm 8 mins into the opening and its already insane lol!
One of the craziest pack openings I’ve ever watched
Love this, so nostalgic!
Omg! I remember that box. I got so many of those as a kid for Christmas.

I wanna smell the pack. The moment you opened it I flashed back to the 90s.

Yooo you got a super clean box!
What an absolute treat! Thank you so much for doing these vids, and for your knowledge and enthusiasm for the cards therein. Really takes me back. I remember my Mom would buy these packs for me and then require me to do chores in order to claim the cards individually XD Turns out that was a pretty good method to get your kids to do chores, however she had to learn over time that I only wanted the rares and would ditch the rest of the chaff. So over time the rares started to cost more important chores like cleaning my room and not just emptying the dish washer. Anyway, that Dragonite is gorgeous. Such nostalgia locked in these cards.
My man's is breathing like he just ran a track meet

Very cool!

The power of good titles in the algorithm
Magneton holo was my first. I was too young to take care of my cards. $350 for a psa 10 doesnt make me feel as bad lol
Nice video! Do you have an update on the grades that came back on the cards?
Great job good sir !
The centering is way off

Border on dragonite looks sus. Very uneven
Man I opened so many of these as a kid this is giving me Flash backs
1st pack pulls dargonite lol... Perfect card however the left yellow border line is a bit thiner then the right but still a perfect 9.5 all day
Centering? wow! Very interesting! Your knowledge is incredible with how you know the prices so rapidly. How have they changed in the last few years? Did you get them graded? Very exciting to watch. It's also remarkable how critical you are about the centering or the tiniest white in a corner. I would never notice it, but you say it's terrible for being half a millimeter off! I suppose when you've seen so many!
I wish i never sold my charizard for $20 back then....and bought a dragon ball t shirt with it lol
So Lucky to get all the best ones.
My parents got me this for christmas in 1999. Wish i still had all those old cards, i opened a mint that day, and never even knew it.
Im loving these unboxing vids. If I ever win the lottery I’m buying a bunch of those boxes 🤣 thanks for a great vid dude 🤘
Most underrated set in my opinion. The holographic are beautiful.
Thanks for getting right to the point and not wasting time 🎉
Banger box
Sick!
awesome!
Raichu was my first-ever holo pull. I got it in a 50-cent machine. I was so excited, but then I noticed that the first edition print was towards the bottom. The same location where the trainers have the first edition print but kinda slanted towards the side. The other Pokemon cards had it in the spot it was supposed to. I thought it was a fake at the time and threw it away. Now that I think about it I might have gotten a misprint lol

Nothing is as crazy as that 1st Ed PSA 10 Chansey. Wow!
10k is a lot of cash to shell out for that, but wow what a nostalgia trip.
damn dragonite on 1st pack and i also prefer top loaders they always looked so cool even back in late 90s early 2000s

Checkout this video below if you like the Fossil opening. Opened an even better box 1999 Pokemon Base Set Shadowless Booster Box!!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/l2F9r6-ykdG0cdo.html
I had quit collecting and switched to Magic the gathering before Fossil. That Haunter and Dragonite are awesome. I'd love to have those
After seeing a few videos I wish I woulda kept all these cards I had when I was younger in perfect condition, I had hollow Lapras, arcanine, kangkastan, and a garadose, and a few others I just can’t think of them right now
I actually would not mind it if you took three hours to open up a box. No need to rush - it is great stuff. 😊 folks can always watch it at double speed if they are in a rush.
Where can I buy a jungle/fossil box set?? What are they best auction houses to look for these collectible box sets?
I just wonder how many KZreadrs are going keep opening them til there gone ?
I remember when I was young this was one of the first booster packs I saw at the LA swamp meet , I asked my mom for some and she got me 1 , I hope to 1 day purchase an unopened fossil pack and get it graded . This brings back so many memories
I had a Raichu back in the day. This brought me back. Man, I'd almost buy a box just for the hell of it

I can't believe you'd rush through the cards of these old boxes, those artsyles and everything about the cards is so facinating. There can't be many brand new boxes left, and to just speed through it seems so wastefull
this is crazy, the holo aeroydactyl was part of my deck that got stolen from me in pre-school back then. It would be worth so much nowadays :(
Would love follow up videos with the grades you got on the cards.
Random video popped up, that card at 15:45 was my first ever shiny when i was 11 in 99
so funny to think ive held all these cards with my smudgey child fingers
I remember (around 2003) a friend of mine's dad had a lot of sealed 1st edition pokemon booster boxes from the base set but they were in german. I ended up with several good cards (holo blastoise, venusaur, etc). I kept them stashed under my bed for years until my younger brother took them all to school and traded them. Almost had a mental breakdown.
