- In this Pokemon cards opening, I reluctantly bought all of the mystery boxes I could find under "Newest Arrivals" on Amazon. Will these new mystery products be any good?

Buying mystery is the notorious scam of some one tricking a buyer into paying for a lot of worthless trash 😂 NEVER BUY MYSTERY. Automatic rip off. Crumbling a pokemon lovers excitement up into a pile of wigletts lmao
It's called business.
For every 1 amazing one there will be 200 bad ones ..
Amazes me how people can't work this out ..
@@charliesmith7256 uh ho we found a seller
yea
Or the seller advertises exactly what the contents were the mystery will pictures of the cards in there ie pictures of the slabs raw cards and booster packs. I agree majority are deceptive in what is in the bags/boxes. I am someone that is attempting my mystery bag and the biggest thing I’ve received opinion wise is make sure the value is there ie if you’re selling a bag for 50 make sure value is there most eBay sellers that did them had some horrible odds like 30 dollar bags with a floor of 8 or 12 bucks and a ceiling of 175ish out of a 100 bags 30 of them were equal or greater value the other 70 bags were the bottom value. In my opinion if a risk is being made on a purchase in my opinion the most you should lose out on in a mystery bag is 15-20% meaning you get at least 80% of your money back. Getting less than 30% of your money back will definitely make you not spend anymore with that seller.
@@charliesmith7256 not all business is good business. You act like calling it a business even though it's meant to scam buyers with the idea they will get good cards
Its good to have videos like this showing what bad mystery products are out there and what you might get out of them. I personally would just stick with official booster packs, they're enough of a mystery product for me.
Yup never buy mystery box, even big n popular CZcamsr/Streamer never buy lol
If you need videos like this to u understand .. you are not smart are you
@@dorzy207 Videos like this are helpful to people that are new to the hobby and don't know any better, that's the point I was getting at which was clearly over your head.
LMAOO "oh noooo dude the fire dragon got us.." 😂😂😂 12:58 killed me
That shiftry had me laughing just like it did when you saw it for the first time 😂
I avoid these things in general. I explain to my son that you have to watch out for scams. He's learning at an early age that not everything is what it seems. Good lesson to learn.
lol 4:34 literally was the same packs I ordered and rev said “oh no” I immediately frowned
it's good to see a youtuber that's showing what can actually happen with these types of products, not many do that. Plus it's very entertaining!
I’d like to see a video where you do order with your name just to see if you do get better pulls. That would give more insight to the quality of these products
These are my favorite kind of your videos! Thanks for taking one for the team, every time!
I definitely feel like cards off Amazon are very hard to tell if they’re real or not
Wish I found rev's videos when I started, learnt so much since joining the channel. Love the content and how well he and other tcg youtubers look after the community.
Yo rev, thanks for having those winter pokerev packs out for so long and doing an extra release of them. Its so exciting to see what you get in them!! ❤
The code card was white in the Scarlett pack 6:27
7:57 bruh why is someone's username daddy😂😂😂
This is the best indirect advertising for your own product ever. Showcase all the scam products out there so everyone knows where to buy genuine mystery packs. PokéRev? More like PokéGenius!
Thanks for putting this out Rev, lots of newcomers still buy from Amazon, and it sucks to see them get scammed
Only Mint was honestly surprising. Especially when a zoo pack immediately follows lmao.
The Gotta Catch ‘em Mint is a cool concept but seems too much of a risk
Yeah I stay away from any mystery box stuff usually never get any value but glad you do these videos to showcase them so people can get a better understanding that most of the time you won't get anything the rare case you might get lucky!
I appreciate your actual review and opion.
And you’re right, where are the positive reviews and pictures of the people who pull the vintage packs or actual psa graded charizards, etc?
Rev opens up such a variety of Pokémon cards always keeping the content fresh!
Madness how this still happens !!
Lets see what savagery has occured in the lattest episode of, Returning empty boxes to amazon 😂
LOL love watching these crazy mystery packs opened. So glad you do it for us to see, no way I'd ever get them.
It’s really sad to see many companies put basic cards in mystery packs that don’t even come to half the value of the pack.
Very similar to official Pokemon booster packs :p
😂@@SenatorAri
@@SenatorAri
No the official packs are truly random with what cards and fair probability of what you get, some third party companies remove the high rarity and cards from their own custom made packs so you literally have no chance of winning.
@@mng8680 Ah yeah sure.
@@mng8680 I wouldnt exactly call it fair probability. The probabilities are made to profit. Thats why so many people have so much bulk. And do we really need energies in every pack these days? Everyone has a box full and more. From ETB's etc. I feel that its time that Pokemon can sell those separate and make packs better with some guaranteed hits. Might be a .50 cent card. Might be a 100 card. All in all in the end they still make their money. Just make these damn sets a little easier for the kids to finish collecting. The game in my opinion has gotten away from kids and all around the scammyness of gambling.
Loving the videos Rev! Thanks for all you do!!
There is still only 1 company above the rest for mystery packs, iconic mystery products is wild still to this day
and what company might that be?
Got an idea for multiple videos where you do this same type of video but you actually let them know who you are and see what you get. Maybe even in the same video buy with an alias and compare.
I have never bought anything that said mystery on the label ever and I’m still shocked that anyone buys this kind of product.
It’s the element of surprise which is dumb. I bought one mystery slab ONCE for 30$ and it was a rayquazza V that’s worth a 1.50
Rev you had the right to give your review please always inquire and leave a review because that is what we want an honest review. Thanks for being a pioneer.
Thanks again for the info on the amazon mystery cards. I might just stick with your pokerev packs and also the mj holdings packs
I love these videos cause I'll never buy odd/random products. But it's fun to see what other sell out there and get away with.
I can never bring myself to buy anything from Amazon 🙏
I love watching all your vids keep up the good work
The biggest scam is the grading companies you guys allowed to operate during covid. LOL...
Hello, where do you recommend buying pokemon cards?
Worst part with Amazon direct they ship Booster boxes, ETB's and UPC's in bags so if you collect sealed the product always has some sort of dents or tearing. 3rd party sellers get away with murder by opening product and barely reseal and ship it to amazon to fulfil. Amazon doesnt bother checking so even after they get caught and someone leaves a negative review amazon removes the negative review and leaves the same generic auto generated response. "This item was fulfilled by Amazon, and we take responsibility for this fulfillment experience". And nothing happens to the seller and it keeps the ratings high.
Can't believe they send out things like that in these Amazon openings
I would love to see a video of pokerev using someone else's account to order his own mystery packs so he can open them up and see what he gets.
Appreciate you always taking the hit on these and cursing a lot of our curiosity 😂
Doing gods work Rev!
I like frogs
I like trains 🚂
Does anyone know the link to the "whatever that thing is" at the start of the video? Seems interesting
Opening packs from different stores / marketplaces are definitely my favorite video type.
i also like my own comments
*You also smell your own farts.*

@@bernietothhere’s a tip.. alcohol and blew chew go brrrrrrrhhh
@@Bigben-1989 blew chew better than gas station rhino pills?
@@bernietothyeeee… get the third option tho.. the new stuff that really goes brrrrrrr
I’ve been so nervous every time ordering from Amazon especially seeing that they will put their stamp of approval on giving Pokémon products a “second” chance and they were all packs that had been opened and returned
mystery boxes seem like such a scam- unless a friend made me a mystery box of just products they bought from an actual card store i don’t think i’d trust it haha
I liked my own comment 😂
Nobody cares
@@SuperJeremiah86 God bless.
@@shindarygermangodzilla3799 👏🏻👏🏻
We heard you the last 50 times you said that.
Stupidity at its finest
i think we are all better off just buying a pack or two
Just not fusion strike
When I first got back into collecting, I started by buying some random stuff on Amazon. Now, when I look back at those same cards, I feel like half of them are bootlegs. They just look weird. Or maybe I'm just jaded & paranoid now. 😂
I like watching you expose these mystery boxes, but I dont trust to buy them lol
i love all these exposure videos! good to see all the scams get called out.
I always love watching these videos, Rev getting "scammed" so that we don't is always entertaining
Would love if you highlighted other companies that do a good job making excellent mystery products
I don't think a single mystery product has ever made me want to buy it 😂and this just proves it
I work at the amazon warehouse and we get a lot of crazy stuff, but that I know of when I see Pokémon cards they are real from ETB to collection boxes seen graded cards and some packs
I've never even thought to by pokemon from Amazon, now I know.... haha
I mean that's the point of "mystery". It's basically the same as a lottery. The floor is gonna be super bad, the chase is gonna be super hard to get. And then the average cards are just gonna be meh. It's a way to market products and make money for the business owner. This doesn't even just apply to cards but it applies to many other things like blind box toys, sealed Pokemon TCG packs. I do agree that most of them are kinda "scammy" because the price for it doesn't justify the floor. The better mystery products are ones that the floor isn't too far away. Just remember nothing is too good to be true in life before you buy something. And unless you're willing to gamble and ok with the floor, then don't buy it. Also not everyone reviews products so it's hard to get a completely good idea of the pull rates of these products.
I do enjoy your videos and the fact that you'd get these and open it so people will have some idea of what's inside them before they buy. Appreciate that.
i pulled out my binder today and went to a store that buys cards .. sold 8 cards for 50 percent market value so made 65 dollars. Im kinda regretting it now lol.. damn didnt think id have so much sentimental attachment
bro honestly buying anything online will forever be scary...
Hint: you should screenshot/save photos of their “could get rare cards” picture and reverse search to see if they have pulled it from somewhere else to claim they have them. It’s a red flag if they did pull it from another listing or google images.
That review on the holy grails galarian darmanitan psa 10 that says "yeah its a gem mint 10 but these sell for 10 to 20". That's me... I regretted it 100%. 7:57
Love when you open these products to spread awareness of how scammy these really are!
There’s a reason that I don’t like buying things that aren’t sold directly but Amazon.
That non holo graded card is wild. Lol imagine spending the money to get bulk cards graded..
So cool that you do this. It really helps me feel better about avoiding amazon all together for tcg
Let's be clear. Mystery items are always questionable and could contain anything. Not to justify any of this companies or items but going from packs you sell PokeRev packs for 54.99$ you could get boosters in value of 25$...and going by simple math for higher tiers you are always in plus so it does not make sense for most of the people who buy this product. Everbody who sell this kind of producs are to make money..more or less. You are direct and transparent about the odds so kudos to you, but again it does not make sense for most of people to buy this kind of products.
Amazon is wildin, especially when there are returns, sometimes scammers :((
Amazon really needs to put a stop to this scaming...
Something was off about the shining fates pack at 15:22 he got 2 glossifers in the pack, I don’t think that is normal. But I’m not 100% sure could you correct me if I’m wrong
Random stuff on Amazon always scares me
If i was ever gonna sell mystery packs and you ever bought a mystery pack from me. I would make sure to send you a Mr. Mime
Ah, Amazon, the lost father of MJ Holding / Fairfield Company 🤭🤭
I always appreciate you buying these types of products and letting all of us know if anything's actually worth it!
I love graded cards! The itch can be overwhelming!
I'm always hesitant to buy on Amazon for packs now after watching videos haha
Recently, Amazon itself got into the Pokémon market in Germany. Many original products, good prices. In fact, e.g. 151 tins are significantly cheaper there atm.
Hey how long do people have tell u have last call for ur draws
There is nothing I hate more than scammers. Every mystery pack company out there are scammers. No exceptions.
Not ready for this cold weather to leave...
Literally buying people's throwaway stock but people still gamble on them 😂
Mystery products are always like this on these platforms. Reverse graded cards are so bad
Worried I’ve been scammed by Amazon orders in the past. Oh well, live and learn! Great vid!
honestly you save money not even buying official boosters and just buy the cards you want outright from sellers.
Just love how you open things to show us how not to buy rubbish stuff thanks rev ❤
I haven’t seen a single video where these companies don’t scam their customers
Loving your contents. Makes me reminiscing my childhood playing the The PCG with my mates.
I'm a novice collector, so I appreciate your vids. I learned my lesson not to buy "blind box" amazon listings while collecting funko. Often times you get pure garbage. All your scam vids make me want to stick to walmart and gamestop exclusively. Guess ill never get the older cooler cards.
Can never understand why people do this, just be nice and don't scam people
They are always a gamble. I don’t buy them unless I’m mentally prepared to loose my money 😂😂😂
Unless a friend makes a mystery box for you, you will lose money
Wich graded card mystery pack out of these would you recommend
100% agree rev, nowadays all these mystery boxes are simply a cash grab. Value only 25-50% at best of sell price is nuts. Thx for the content!
I’ve always been skeptical about mystery boxes
Hey now, I’m getting ready to send off to SGC 🤣 can’t beat the price and turn around time as long as you don’t expect the same roi, obviously 🤷🏻♂️🤣
While I like laughing at these products I am still surprised they still sell and that there are actually no good ones out there 😅
Amazon mysteries can be a hit or a miss but the reviews are very helpful
nuh the reverse on the start got me
i wonder if theres ever anything worth it in these things lmao
