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.

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.

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.

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

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 had holographics of every type back in 2004. I had been collecting for 5 years. I got a booster pack almost every day because I bought I had the pokemon fever. The cards were Mint. I took to the local card shop and they said they needed a month to assess the value. I went back a month later and the guy at the counter said “what holographic card binder set?” It was never on record. Seeing this video made me think I lost up to a hundred thousand dollars that day… 😢 But then again, I’ll never know…
