1st Edition Booster Box Opening via YouTube

[samsamsamsmsms]

Hey sometimes people are just a little envious of certain things (like someone else opening a 1st edition base box) and pick out negative aspects a little easier as a defense mechanism.

This is the internet, man. Nothing is personal and for all you know, I could be a horse. No worries

ohgawd he’s so dramatic. My favorite part was when he said “ITS RACIST”

Let’s see you do this and not be so dramatic. It’s 1st edition base set, how can you not be nerveous opening it?

Welcome to UPCCC

Glad I saw this. First of all, I can appreciate the construtive criticism. For example, I did shake too much in this video and wish I hadn’t. The fact is, when somethings costs this much, that’s how it goes with the anticipation. I don’t collect MTG, but it’s like that dude who pulled the black lotus. I’d like to see any of you do this without being nervous and excited. How ungrateful some of you are. Tmurder didn’t even show the cards half of the time. This was the first time this was uploaded in 5 years since his.

Let’s get the facts straight first. Whoever decided to assume it was $8000, how about knowing the facts before spewing numbers out? I bought this with 1st edition Jungle for $6500. After selling the Jungle box, this was $6050.

I graded the other packs and have sold many through PayPal deals, not to mention that the commons and uncommons were graded. To say it wasn’t profitable, how about learning some basic math first. The holos were almost free after all things considered.

Thirdly, I’m well aware of the centering issues. I take a lot into account before buying and opening. Thanks John Madden of Pokemon cards for the obvious.

Finally, I wasn’t mad about it not being Charizard at the end. I just wish it hadn’t ended on such a crappy card. Mewtwo or Gyarados would have been nice.

I wish people would know the facts before spewing out whatever nonsense comes to mind first. This kind of stuff drives me nuts about you kids who have no idea what you’re even saying. Just come up with opinions first, then make up your own ‘facts’ to support your own fallacies. Way to go. I made out quite well on this. If you think you can do it better, by all means, go ahead, if you have a real job and can afford this and ever move out of your parents’ house.

Amen!

Where do you buy your boxes from?

I am in the market for some and would appreciate any advice you can give.

So in the same post you tell people not to make wild assumptions about what you paid for the box, you start throwing out presumptuous drivel about people being ‘kids’ and not having ‘real jobs’ and peoples living conditions. Get that chip on your shoulder sorted out.

By all means come here and give us some more info on your box opening and how it all panned out. But don’t throw a tantrum and cry about it.

I feel your pain about that box! Look on the bright side you got to open a 1st Edition base set box!!! I never had the pleasure to open this legendary set! my parents never had the spare money to buy the cards for me when I was a kid. The suspense on that last card though, I was scared for you and when it was revealed to be a chansey im sure the Jedi felt that one!

[acebren]

crack, you can leave now

[ozenigma]

Dare I ask why you compare a Black Lotus to the possible highest value card in the base set like Charizard? Or even a box?

Yeah, they are both worth a lot of money but so are many other cards. I think you need to relax mate.

We were all diappointed you didn’t pull a Charizard mate.

This video is what made me sub to your yt, the fact you even got to open one of these up is amazing, I thought you would have made money on it considering the packs sell for what like $200-300 each graded? As for commons and uncommons which of those pull the most money? Not that I’m a reseller but I’m just interested.

What about the “Fffffch Eerrrgh im gonna kill myself” outburst, you must admit, that was crude.

People are going to criticize anything you or I do so getting upset about it isn’t helping anyone. Objectively speaking you put out a video for us to watch. The reason you put out the video is irrelevant if all you cared about was doing it to look back because you could have put it on private (i’ve watched some of my old videos and enjoyed reliving my openings so i understand recording them). Since its in public view people watched and I’m sure many people enjoyed it even though they had a criticism (not all criticisms are negative). Your excessive trembling (in the majority of UPCCC’s opinion) detracted from the opening. A decent portion of the video and you were focused on the trembling and what others thought. Given the rarity, value and how much that box means in terms our collection we all understood why you were trembling but it just simply took away from just how good of a video it could have become.

I like you and I like your videos so I’m not going to get into an argument about what you said in response to this. Just know that there’s been similar threads/discussions that sounded harsh to other members here that lead to heated discussions and arguments. Those such debates have led better understandings of each others viewpoints, outside perspectives and overall healthy community and friendships. I also highly doubt anyone here meant anything malicious against you in their posts. For future responses just try to put your thoughts in a well reasoned and logical response as to your side in the discussion or argument because that’ll lead the other people to understand where you’re coming from. You’ll gain far more from this community if you dont let this thread rile you up than if you if you were to let it stop you from joining.

In other news, anybody have a base set 1st box they’re willing to sell (or trade)? These sketchy eBay boxes have been keeping me away. It seems like we have all the right people on this topic.

Please tell me it’s to open on yt, if so someone sell this man a box!

[gemmintpokemon]

I’d open it on YouTube. I’m at the point now that I’m either buying a base set box or a PSA 10 charizard. I’d love to take my chances on a box.

[KingPokemon]

Since I sold my 9 box lot, and with all the reseals around, I’m overvalueing the couple I have left. Probably wouldn’t sell anymore anyway.

I would watch that too. I liked the video the person made in this thread too it was a nice sight to see. There is a 1st edition base set box on ebay for bid with over $6,000 in shipping right now lol.

Link?
