I have wanted to make a thread here, but have put it off. I will start off with my booster box collection. The video has been published, but not completely processed, so it will start up whenever Youtube decides to process the last 5%. My new internet is very slow. I started the upload 8 hours ago haha:
Nice! Looking forward to this video when it is done. Been subscribed to your channel for a long time, long before I joined this forum. I’d liek to see your sheet collection too!
8 hours is nothing…it took me 23 hours to upload my latest videos, and they weren’t even in 1080p! (Chinese internet through a VPN…)
One of the objective I had in starting this particular collection was to make sure there is at least 1 sealed copy of these boxes out there. I realize there is probably dozens to thousands of each, but I look at MTG and wonder. The older boxes are incredibly hard to find, or even hear of existing anymore. Just the sealed packs alone are ridiculously expensive.
With everyone opening WOTC boxes up on Youtube, the market is bound to dry up.
The only WOTC box I have ever opened was a Neo Genesis 1st edition box back when I was around 12. Opening box after box of the new stuff also makes me almost indifferent to pack pulls, so it is easy to just look at the historical and business side of keeping them sealed.
It’s because on YouTube if you are quick to posting a video right as something new is coming out people will watch it to see if they want to buy the product themselves. Once the first week has been established and so many people viewed the video because it was one of the first, it’ll be on the top of the search list for YouTube videos in that category. Many of your top videos are because they feature new sets that were uploaded the day of/even before the sets came out (i.e. primal clash).
People love drinking the kool-aid with new products
This is pretty awesome! It really does make me wonder how many are out there unopened. There has to be collectors that have hoarded them from their release or just sitting in the back of peoples closets. Do they ever make public how many many boxes are even distributed? I know there have been serial numbers on the inside of the lids of the view I have opened. Are those linked to a sequential production number?
