A 1st edition Charizard was pulled...

I don"t watch his videos a whole lot but I think only the grime of this hobby would sit and criticize him for trying to make a living and find success. These people could only dream of doing a fraction of what he’s done for the hobby. Complaining about how he titled the video and going on about his “motives” for trying to optimize his wages is cringe. That’s his literal job. That was also an awesome pull.

I am so happy to see the HUGE majority of positive statements about LeonHart. The 1 less than sparkling commenter/guesser just needs a boyfriend or something and who would harp on a Kobe turnover In his 81 point game lol.

Very well put my friend. I get asked to do stuff almost daily and though I do as much as I can even for small players, for Lee I would jump on planes EVERY time he needed. This dude is the most dedicated, sensitive, and caring person I’ve ever met. Just watch his number 1 YouTube video from years ago. He spoke of his hopes and the importance of charity and promised he would make a difference to that end. He had no followers at that point but a basketful of positive dreams and goals. Well, he made it without compromising or selling out. He kept his promises.

And yes, now we’re good friends but don’t let that fool you. Even had we never met, I would still hold him up as an example to my kids as someone special who they could aspire to be like and there’s no greater complement than that.

I wanted to see the back of the card before he put in the sleeve, I was also thinking dude might crush the cards with his hands. I would of given the pack the white glove treatment. I like the reaction, the shaking hands and excitement.

After @swolepoke and @stibs did their opening I wanted to believe it was the last time 1st ed. Charizard is pulled on video, glad to be wrong in this case. :wink:

I don’t watch a lot of videos from Leonhart, but that was a great video! Love the intro with the original voice actress/actor of Ash and Professor Oak, and you of course Gary. And his reaction when he pulled the Crystal Nidoking in the very first pack was great.

And then of course the 1st edition Charizard to top it off by a hundred miles. :grin: Love how his hands were sweating and shaking more and more as the video progressed. :grin: Well deserved, so congrats Leonhart!

I just want to give a little more attention to that Crystal Nidoking pull. Absolutely mind boggling he got both of those pulls in one video!

Hey! I wanted to take some time to say thanks for all the kind words on here! I feel like I could see the passion about how excited y’all were about not only the Charizard, but the Nidoking (let’s not forget about nido!).

It’s all about being passionate about something and in our case guys, it’s about Pokemon and the fun that comes with it; whether it’s families bonding together over finally getting a master set or pulling your favorite Pokemon. I wanted to create something that had people cheering; I would have no idea it would actually be the biggest cheer of all when pulling the zard.

To see the community going crazy and the impact it had on people while I read through comments, messages and emails; made me so so happy. I look forward to seeing each of y’all in person (when we’re able to hopefully soon).

So, I wanted to say thanks again for all the kind words; it’s all about coming together as a community and sharing in celebrations like yesterday. Thanks and please stay safe! My email is always open.

It’s truly awesome that such a special moment was captured on film for us to take part in.
Congrats leonhart! Couldn’t be happier for you! :grin:

So epic! Must have been that [mention]garyis2000 [/mention]cameo that put it over the edge!

Really hope this brings him out of his funk he explained here lately. For his goal of 1mil, even if you think his videos are cringe, the amount of work he puts in day in and day out is deserving alone!

Cant wait to see more heavy openings!

This was a sick video and I only just now saw it! I’m subscribed and didn’t see it promoted oddly. Only saw it when I saw his video about the algorithm being all messed up. Very happy for him and that zards looks beautiful!

Turn that profile shot into a closeup instead of a wide so you aren’t cutting wide to wide. Epic pulls and super cool seeing those VO’s introduce themselves and wish leon luck. Can’t wait to see the followup video to see how it grades!

he deserves it. great vid congrats!
