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?"

Good times.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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 :(

    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.
