Opening a 1st Edition Base Set Booster Pack?

And he said the electabuzz was CREASED… So no arguing that or disagreeing

I’m not home yet- but here is a preview. The second picture is of the Electabuzz.

Also the next sequential cert most likely from the same sender to watch out for:

1st Ed Jungle to 1st Gym Heroes packs:

#26492293 to #26492306

The original sender might not have known about the resealed 1st Ed. Base Pack so these might be alright but still I would be very cautious!

It’s really sad when you think about how many more people have fake packs and will probably never realize it.

Also the idea that PSA authentication can make fake product more believable.

In my opinion I at first thought it may have been a black triangle error era pack variant, but those were done with “additional cards” and not “tradeable cards”. This is 100% PSA’s error as that was a specific variant 1st edition pack and should have had them in it. If it was a variant, such as the ones rusty sells, PSA would have it notated.

Example: www.ebay.com/itm/1x-SEALED-Base-Set-1st-Edition-ERROR-MISPRINT-Booster-Pack-ULTD-Pokemon-Cards-B-/311845810678?hash=item489b7571f6:g:a-MAAOSwnF9Y7lnJ#viTabs_0

Hope you can get something back from this.

With a full video from cracking to opening the pack and revealing shadowed cards that are well worn you shouldn’t have an issue getting your money back from PSA.

That being said. DAMN. Wtf PSA.

Honestly, thanks for being so thorough. That makes this incredibly valuable to the community.

Alright guys, here is the video (apologies for the orientation if you’re watching it right now, it will be veritcal until YouTube finishes processing the video)! I also hope the thumbnail is a forgivable offense- I figure it would help bring attention and make it more appealing and draw in people who would otherwise not see the video.

If you want to just skip to the pack opening, go to 2:50. Else, you can watch me break that sucker open! Thank you everyone for the replies, condolences, and help so far. I will most likely contact PSA first because that seems like the proper chain of command to follow, regardless of whether they are the one providing the refund- they just need to be notified and aware.

Wow…

Great job making sure it was all recorded though.

Good recording, pack never fully left camera frame while you were recording so there should be no debate from anyone that the pack was potentially swapped off frame. Sucks this happened but really good that you recorded everything without any edits, good luck with the PSA follow up.

Well i’ve fallen off my seat :slightly_frowning_face:

Why did I bother posting this on Virbank… I got accused of pack swapping because my friend’s thumb got in the way for a second during the video. You can literally play/pause frame by frame and see that the shape of the pack did not change alongside its positioning, and I think common sense dictates that I have literally nothing to gain from faking this.

Except for a fat stack of PSA grading coupons! Enjoy!

dangggggggg. that is all

This totally sucks donkey balls!
When I saw the cards I thought, oh nothing that bad. The other 2 pages made my cry more and more.

Wow PSA are useless these days.

No.
Their pack grading service is just total shit when it comes to non-sport card packs.

And telling the difference between real and fake 1st edition stamps…

But yeah I should have been more specific.
