We love you island !
wait wtf. islandgrown from sw???

Birth marks are sexy 🤪
island is dope fr, he bounces off that energy so well, i hope he shows up in more of luds content
he has such a nice vibe
Miz already stole him
@@jaybm1560 thats a big L for lud then
@@lucasj6147 Island was literally at mizkif house during pokemon week. Lol
@@NooBLT606 he could still show up more in lud content
A little FYI about the sleeves, from someone who worked in a game store with a lot of Magic and Pokémon; turn the flexible sleeve upside down, so the opening is at the bottom of the card. Then put the hard case over it normally. Reduces the chance of damaging the card, especially useful around these types of expensive booster boxes
Sometimes if science does it’s thing as well there can be a weird vacuum effect which makes it borderline impossible for dust to collect and minimizes oxidation so foils don’t cloud over years.
that's... the first time I am reading this and I have very strong doubts
@@crkTyphoonit’s real but an unpopular opinion
I absolutely love this collection. Those reverse holos are so sick. And the fact that you can still get a holo too with it is awesome
lud is there anyway can you swap my nidoran you pulled for ash’s dark raichu

@Chad Nickleson Lmaooo
these are really interesting to watch, I’ve been collecting cards for almost all of my 19 years of life and it’s really cool to see old ones still in vids
This is the best explained, but still very enjoyable card opening, and as others said, Lud and Island have great chemistry.
I think Pokemon Week truly has killed the Pokemon Card Twitch Meta, I loved every box opening it was great seeing all these streamers dip back into Pokemon
Hows it going Patterrz?
is the week over who were in it i wanna see those boxes
now its hot tub meta.... thankfully hot tubs don't deprive me of my seratonin
True wordz from pokelover
Why did I watch this for 40 minutes, I’ve literally never bought nor thought of buying Pokémon cards before😂
ludwig is just that dope
It’s even worst when you watch part of it live then rewatch it for no reason
bro, same
lmao, what generation are you from to never have bought Pokémon cards
Because addiction is entertaining to watch
Lud: Ok so when I get the next reverse holo I'm gonna bend it in half
Island: Ahah- What
Bro! That was so funny! Island was like “errrm what?”
Me and all my friends laughed so hard when he said that. My friends were like, “what?” My friends said the same thing as island and we all laughed together!
Finally a CZcamsr that opens a expensive Pokémon card box and doesn’t touch THE DAMN ART ON THE CARD
I waited a long time for this. -CZcams Frog
Yes sirrrr
Ok
Yup
Yessir
Nah I watched live on twitch.tv/Ludwig
15:06 lol Ash got in trouble from nightbot for spamming.

Ludwig: "Guys these cards are worth $30,000"
Also Ludwig: (Opens box with his teeth.)
Now that he is kinda a celebrity, would having his DNA on it increase it's value?
@@VixeyTeh creepy
@@Nyxio_is he wrong tho
Those cards are so nostalgic it’s insane! I remember trading stickers for my first cards in the early 2000’s
“Talk to me Island” is just Luds version of “Jamie pull that up”
Lol. Exactly
zhu li, do the thing!

“Did you know that in terms of male and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible for humans? They’re an average of 3’3” tall and 64 lbs. This means they’re large enough to handle a human peni-“
Wouldn’t you love to know ludwig, wouldn’t you love to know.
Wubby is better than Professor Oak in making Pokedex entries.
Dude, I was thinking the same thing. A Vaporeon could handle human penicillin injections and be like a personal caretaker for people with diabetes. Very cool!
Nah, He’s taken by Bunairy. Cant be fucked searching how to spell it.

The pure sadness I heard when I heard “I don’t know what I was feeling” LOL
ludwig's robber is going to be confused on why his bank account is full of pokemon cards.
Island has been one of my fav part of all of this, definitely do more content with him
You’re telling me I watched the entire 4 hour long vod yesterday and he uploads this now
This is wild. This is the set we were collecting when red/blue came out and the cartoon first aired in the US. I still have a binder full of Pokémon cards from this set. I literally opened them and put them in the sleeves. Wonder how much they’re worth.
Lets be honest , we always smell the cards when we open a pack

Do you peel the crust off your Pokémon cards
@Frogman timezones are a thing lmao
I can't even watch this, it's too hard. seeing old school cards just reminds me of losing all of my gen 1 cards as a boy to the washing machine. sadge
God that happened to me too. I think washing machines are the ultimate antagonist of Pokémon cards
@@Amethyst_Deceiver1 actual trauma lol
Oh dude I played magic the gathering in my teens. I had a collection folder thingy with so many sick cards. All old dual lands 4 times, multiple gaeas cradle, Timetwister, 4x Jihad. Promos, about 10 Force of will and some other really really sick old cards. At the time I lost it it was worth a few hundred bucks but now it would be worth 6 digits. I stopped playing for a while and when I started again I just couldn't find it anymore. Maybe my dad took it away when I had bad grades (he used to do that) and misplaced it.
My brother’s were ruined by cat pee
Dude same i had stacks of gen 1 cards and almost all of them were $100+ and have em all away to my friends.
Looking back on this video, you grasp the cards to aggressively and it makes me nervous that you're damaging them 😂
“I reached out to the 6 biggest streamers on twitch… and Mizkif”
_That one didn’t age quite so well_
What is he big now I genuinely haven’t heard of him or like half of these people lol I’m late
@@cwill2127 Mizkif has fallen a little in the last 6 months due to reasons. But almost all of these people are extremly popular just not part of OTV and other groups close to them. Heck I didn't even know Rae existed until the end of 2020 when I only watch youtube content creators and not streamers and everyone I watched were extremly popular in their own categories.
@@iceman3317 very explanatory. Due to reasons. Lmao
The art of those eeveelutions is absolutely beautiful
What's up, 2:45am EST-ers. How's your sleepless night going?
2:17 CST-er here. my sleepless night is actually going amazing and i’m having a great time. hope yours is going just as well!
Not bad, just finished classes
me to
probably going to sleep now, but it is going
great its only 3:45 now
This was so much fun to watch!!
Our 2nd time watching it😅
I love that these cards made 20 years ago have 10 times better quality than anything you're ripping out of a US-printed pack today.
3:31 I screamed with the way he opened that pack.
CZcams:how many ads do you want ludwig
Ludwig:yes
i know im very late on this but seeing island being so popular back in the whole pokemon meta was so cool because i actually very actively watched him for a while for his sw content
Card: 90 dollars
Ludwig: this ain’t worth shit
Me: wow this man really is rich
Well he did buy a $30,000 box of pokemon cards
That’s what happens when you commit tax fraud
Idk how much legendary packs but when ur spending 300+$ on a pack and it's 50$ to send a card to psa I've just lost money😂not that it's an investment just for the nestalgia
Guys i used to buy pokemon cards so tell me what psa is? And if we get rare cards from the pack can we sell that card? But where do we sell those rare cards?
@@JUSTINRYANable it's a website that you can send cards to and it checks for authenticity and condition after about 3-6 months thell come back with a grade and you cross your fingers😂
This was so good. Pokémon week was amazing. Thanks for putting it all together Ludwig!
1 MILLION LUDWIG CONGRATS. ITS INSANE TO SEE HOW MUCH YOUVE GROWN IN THE PAST YEARS. 😃
2 years later and he's at 5.4 million subs. He's been poppin' off hard lately.
Did you notice the vertical factory line on the hollow foil of the Electrode? These are super common in these old prints. very unique though.

AYO I’m early but my guy just dropped more $ on a box than my car.
So your car dropped $ on a box? 😂
@@strandkorbst9643 lmao
The prices versus chats reaction shows they have no idea whats happening
“Yuppp that Ash, that’s the one” 🤣
Love the variety of good hits.Thankyou for sharing these pulls with me.Congrats to all.Good day
just pulled a charizard
for some reason reading this comment made my day
I sold a ton of cards to a card shop when I was poor and needed to play rent a year ago. This makes me feel like maybe I should have done more research. Either way, it was fun revisiting my childhood by seeing the card art. This got me way more hyped than I thought.
Congrats on a million Lud!
Never heard of you or twitch/CZcams channel, I am huge into Pokémon and everything to do with it and have been since my youth and I’m 29 and was in the age that I got to grew with it and stayed with it forever. I remember when Legendary Collection came out and everyone didn’t like the RH cards the firework print they used on the cards made a lot of people think they were fake. They used to have those .50 cent vending machines that would slide out two pieces of cardboard and between them there was a sticker with a similar design that was stickers mentioned of Pokémon cards and thought it was that. I was in love with the RH though. Don’t know if you still do this just commenting while watching just saw the Squirtle RH pull. Did you get crap from people for not being into it and doing it after the wave? I support everyone getting into it and love the content. Glad I found this. Congratulations on everyone’s pulls. Killed it
Im just imagining someone pulling a 3k card while the collector is watching and bro just crushes it 💀
Congrats on 1 mill on CZcams lud, happy to see you blowing up finally.
19 minutes and the streak was over...
Dude he's almost late dvery single day.
@@binkleyme not on the west coast
The centering is good on these cards. I can see most of these getting psa 9 or 10
I have these cards :3 all in my little card binder very good condition. I'm in my 20s so I grew up collecting the 1st gens.
Holo Charizard as well, two Holo Mewtwos and so many more.
I wish I knew who to go to, for selling or maybe I should keep them. Idk anymore, some extra cash would be nice to fund my content creation.

Pokemon cards are becoming their own currency at this point
6:44 I love the seething pulling a holo potion card lmao
These videos are so rewatchable.
love the music brings back my N64 memories
i remember holding all of these cards as a kid and it hurts knowing how much money i couldve been holding
cap
@@Benjamslikestrains what?
@@MrScraap It means that I do not believe that he truly had possession of all these cards, as they are extremely rare and valuable. I also don't believe that he would somehow lose/trade them if they were truly hollows/reverse hollows/etc as even a child would know that those are something worth holding onto.
@@Benjamslikestrains nah man this happens all the time. Kids are dumb and probably put it under his bed forgot about it and when he moved out his mom found it and threw it away. Probably happens all the time
My dad had the same thing happen to him. Had all his shinys and everything and crashed into a wall when he was 20 and lost everything he had. Low point in his life but he’s doing better now
The reverses look amazing

This Pokemon card craze made me go check out my old cards that have been sitting for many years. Theres alot, I have 6 charizards for instance. Always knew someday they'd blow up but the prices are blowing my mind🤯 Not sure if I should cash out or keep them tucked away
At least get em all graded
@@kylealexander7024 ya eventually I should, at least the high value ones. That'll be an investment in itself I'll go broke at $15 per card grading 🤣
If they weren't stored in mint condition, have any centering issues, any defects whatsoever, I'd avoid getting them graded, as a low graded card will oftentimes be worth less than an ungraded card. Just something to think about
@@michaeldaigle7207 most are NM+
Been parting out the lot, got 15k+ so far. I sold most before the bubble popped thankfully. Now I'll hold the rest unless a crazy offer comes along.
And good call on the grading. Been getting PSA 8-9 prices on raw cards for the most part. Haven't graded anything yet but I'm planning to send a Shiny zard Vmax into Beckett soon
@@B-ROYalty bet. You're living the tcg dream bro
I was close to pulling my hair out when he started bending the card.
29:00 dang i have that squirtle from back when i was a kid... however it may or may not have been through the washer lmao
32:08
This whole time I thought that Island was on Discord, and then a hand appeared next to Lud
I felt my life hit a dead end as I was watching this video
Dude your profile picture is the same as mine on different social media’s wtf
This is one of my favorite pack opening videos I’ve watched thus far
14:05 Oh dam I love that Pidgeot art
His thumb all up on the foil on the Dark Raichu holo had me screaming 😂
Every Twitch streamer: opening Pokemon packs.
Maxmoefoe: am I a joke to you?
I kinda wanna know EVERYTHING in Wubby's message...
Been getting this video recommended for a month straight so FINE CZcams I'LL WATCH IT
cant believe lud would do content creator of the year like that
Didn’t dude tell him not to put his fingerprints on the foil. Then dude proceeds to put his thumbprint on the $3800 card 😂
i mean hes not that worried, hes having a good time with his cards

Island and Lud are such a good duo!
The hype for that reverse hollo Exeggcute lmfao
lierally couldnt care less about the cards...I just love how you can tell how much he cares about them and how careful he is
Nice real life loot crates. Used to have some of these same cards over 2 decades ago. Amazing.
the centering is insanely good on this whole box wth
25:50 damn im surprised lud didnt know about that copypasta, i remember seeing that shit like 7 or 8 months ago lol
yep lol
It feels like he was at 70.2k yesterday now he's at 1m they grow up so fast :(
the noises island made at the rare cards XD
I used to watch IslandGrown for his summoners war content. Great to see him thriving in the Pokemon card community.
congrats ASH, what a killer pack
Excpet he thumbed the holo RIachu lol
that haunter card is sick
39:57 no dont call the USP-S, its silenced after all
he said haunter like a football anouncer 9:21
is he gonna show when he got his dark charizard? didnt see it on yt
25:46 gave me flashbacks
as a 24 year old that grew up with pokemon, this stuff is so awesome to watch.
What are you using to determine values of the cards?
