I watched every pack as it dropped, and it was great to relive those moments!! You should gather up all the rares, and iconic uncommons and commons into a video and just show how completely ridiculous this box was!!!! Definitely the best single box of Beta ever, maybe even best box ever! Always a pleasure.
I haven’t checked this channel since I was in high school but I just randomly remembered it existed. How pleasantly surprised I was to find that he is not only still opening these booster packs, but actually revealed his face! How lovely of him! I remember the good ol days when he was just unboxing this giant stash he found in his attic or something, how far he has come since then
This was an amazing collage of the Beta Box opened. i can remember waiting every week and every holiday for the beta pack videos to be released. very much a legendary one of a kind video for future generations to enjoy. Thank you for sharing Dan!
I remember watching some of your videos around 2017/2018 and then stopping. At the start of 2019 I saw a random video from you pop up so watched it, just to find out it was a lotus episode! I was so hyped up, it was so cool to come back to such a grand reveal.
You are a legend dan !!! The most insane box i ever see and this video will travel the time and space of youtube for ever. Thanks for sharing whit us ❤
I was for every single one never missed one! And i'm not gonna miss the opportunity to watch it again! Thanks Dan these moments are like treasures in my life❤god they really are for real
You made me look into my cards from my childhood haha. I didn’t realize how many rare cards I have. 2 1st addition Serra Angels, birds of paradise, Baron Singir, all of the elder dragons etc haha
I have personally sent at least 3 "power 9" cards into the trash. My friend and I each had a Time Walk and we agreed to destroy them since it was "too cheesy" - think of it this way, we were just increasing the value of the remaining ones. I also think I had Mox Emerald and Mox Pearl and I never really knew how to use it well in a deck so it just languished in a box somewhere and got thrown out when I moved a bunch as a teenager.
You can’t be bitter or mad/have regrets AT ALL for opening this. We can’t beat ourselves up over bitterness, cuz if we do, it’ll eat us alive* HOF Basketball player who turned down a 10% Nike Stock made that quote (yes, he lost not millions, but billions cuz of this) If someone’s watching this, they’re prob a older MTG player. I’m 30yrs old, had a Beta Chaos orb that was mint someone stole from me, does it hurt, of course. I sold my beta underground sea in 2019 too. But like I said, if we let this stuff bug us, all it’ll do is eat us alive* You doing these opening like u said, u are officially the only human in history, who showed a beta MTG box pack opening of each pack. No one will ever do this (almost certainly) in history of every thing lol trust me, the joy you brought from this, having random people enjoy this, no amount of money could ever equate to the joy it brought. & I’m forever grateful for you doing this. Remember 3-4yrs ago how much I loved these openings from u. Thank u & don’t let it bug u! Cuz guess what, U HAVE A INSANE COLLECTION ALREADY LOL instead should always remember how unbelievably bless u are for having all these old cards… amount of money I’m sure you’ve made still is beyond any of us. Thx again sry for long message! Lol😂
dont feel bad. i had every pokemon card that i was saving for life, every holographic of first 150. probably most were some of the first packs made. i had every movie edition card and some first editions. my entire catalog was stolen back in like 2002 or 2003.
To think thirty years ago some of these cards would be something we wouldn't jump out of our skin over. They were certainly more pleasing to look at and still makes us feel as though it was something special regardless of it's age or competitive value.
Greetings el presidente of atlas earth :) got a lot of vintage cards plus full sets of some very old vintage card sets. Your channel has revitalized my interest in magic collecting. Really enjoy watching your videos keep em comming.
Man they sure did pack in the lands back in those days. I think after 3 boxes of Neon Dynasty I wouldn't have had enough basic lands for more than like one deck.
Did you make your money back on the box is the question. I mean Time Walk, Ancestral Recall, 2 Moxes and 2 duals were the big scores (besides that lotus) and with a 600k box that's not even half way. It would seem to me that you need at least 2 9 rated + lotuses to even get into even-breaking range.
Thanks for the editing - would love to see someone in comments do some fact crunching on all the packs - how much Power - how many cards above a certain dollar amount - etc. etc. etc.
alpha and beta boxes were never actually "sealed". So verifying that its an actual full box and not just boosters collected and put together over the years, can be difficult. You can find discussions across various forums back when the black lotus in this video was sold about this same exact question. If they were to exist, they would be held very closely and not be well known.
So what's the deal with every mox emerald having that dent? I'm guessing something to with where the print sheet is held in place during printing or cutting.
Rare AND not printed in revised and being on the reserved list. Otherwise it would be kind of like mana vault which was rare but reprinted many times. Obviously Sol ring is a better card, so it would have done slightly better than mana vault if it was made rare but still reprinted in revised and over the years. But the reserved list and no printing after ABU is key to power nine’s huge value.

That's a shiny Charizard at 1:10:05 sir
What a banger box
How much money returned?
Edwin's enthusiasm when you pull Power 9 gives me life.
Dr Edwin to the rescue! I should make house calls.
I watched every pack as it dropped, and it was great to relive those moments!! You should gather up all the rares, and iconic uncommons and commons into a video and just show how completely ridiculous this box was!!!! Definitely the best single box of Beta ever, maybe even best box ever! Always a pleasure.
Unfortunately still not worth the $600k, but nice box indeed!
I had very intense emotions when you opened up that Black Lotus. What a marvelous game.
I haven’t checked this channel since I was in high school but I just randomly remembered it existed. How pleasantly surprised I was to find that he is not only still opening these booster packs, but actually revealed his face! How lovely of him! I remember the good ol days when he was just unboxing this giant stash he found in his attic or something, how far he has come since then
Haven't played Magic in like 20 years but all of these are a blast to watch. Thanks for sharing.
The Pearled Unicorn from Booster #1 you opened in LasVegas is still in its original sleeve in my global collection. Thanks Dan.
Black Lotus + Sol Ring in a booster pack, that's pretty neat.
Old MTG cards really were something else. I'm not even sure that cardstock exists anymore. Thanks for sharing this! amazing pulls too!
Modern magic cards are made out of used tissue paper.
This was an amazing collage of the Beta Box opened. i can remember waiting every week and every holiday for the beta pack videos to be released. very much a legendary one of a kind video for future generations to enjoy. Thank you for sharing Dan!
Edwin's reaction to the Lotus pull
He knew he was going to pull it. The box was mapped, as evidenced by the first box and the comment "where are we on the map".
I remember watching some of your videos around 2017/2018 and then stopping. At the start of 2019 I saw a random video from you pop up so watched it, just to find out it was a lotus episode! I was so hyped up, it was so cool to come back to such a grand reveal.
You are a legend dan !!! The most insane box i ever see and this video will travel the time and space of youtube for ever. Thanks for sharing whit us ❤
I was for every single one never missed one! And i'm not gonna miss the opportunity to watch it again! Thanks Dan these moments are like treasures in my life❤god they really are for real
1:17:00 Kids these days. You pull the best card ever & he goes "did you pull the shiny charizard EX?!" I am Dead 😭😭😭
when he dropped the black lotus my heart sank. I hope you got a good grade on it. that's absolutely insane.
This is a year old but that second pack, you are gloved up and as you go through, someone is raw dogging it... LOL
You are a legend OB! Thanks for sharing this opening
You made me look into my cards from my childhood haha. I didn’t realize how many rare cards I have. 2 1st addition Serra Angels, birds of paradise, Baron Singir, all of the elder dragons etc haha

Lol at pack 3 guy who directly touches the card with his bare hands like he is the main character
That lotus reaction was priceless
It is crazy that a box full of paper is worth that much.
I remember that we always joked how does Frozen Shade not have flying? It's literally a painting of a wraith flying in the air.
Beautiful Saturday afternoon plans with friends and family officially averted.
every time you pull any one of the power 9s it puts a smile on my face haha thanks for sharing!
Craziest box ever printed in history of magic....incredible
😳 my brain cant handle that you didnt sleeve the lotus straight away...
Hard to imagine how this remained sealed until now give how limited supply was back then and the hype surrounding the game at the time.
Awesome opening my friends. Thanks 4 sharing your emotions...absolutely priceless.
Best regards from Germany🙋🏻♂️

Yeah "THE NIGHTMARE " MY FAVORITE CARD I LOVE THE ARTWORK MAN CONGRATS THIS I GREAT BOX BRO
Thank you for recording and uploading this for all of us to see, how awesome was that
To think thirty years ago some of these cards would be something we wouldn't jump out of our skin over. They were certainly more pleasing to look at and still makes us feel as though it was something special regardless of it's age or competitive value.
So of us still won’t jump out of our skins over freaking rectangular pieces of paper…
@@undetected2088what if it was a circle or a triangle
Edwin after the emerald
"How do you do that!"
Exactly Edwin, exactly
I admire your composure after the first disappointing pulls ... and then game Treasure Island :)!
I love how they react like he saved the universe when he gets the lotus lmao
Greetings el presidente of atlas earth :) got a lot of vintage cards plus full sets of some very old vintage card sets. Your channel has revitalized my interest in magic collecting. Really enjoy watching your videos keep em comming.
if we add up all Beta booster open vids we get more cards than were ever printed...
Man they sure did pack in the lands back in those days. I think after 3 boxes of Neon Dynasty I wouldn't have had enough basic lands for more than like one deck.
I never owned anything really, prior to revised, but goddamn the original product lines even up until ice age, was such a fantastic looking TCG
Awesome video. I watched the whole thing. How could you not love watching a box of Beta being opened?
Give Edwin Props for making these videos even better with his reactions!
Man, I love that old-school artwork.
Very Cool!
Just found your channel - Hope you pull some nice cards sir!
Thanks for sharing, not many people would open this for everyone to watch.
What a box! 😀 Thank you for sharing every priceless opening with everyone.
OMFG can't believe it...aaaah the craziness at its best!
I jumped like I pulled it when I saw that Lotus. Congratulations!
Did you make your money back on the box is the question. I mean Time Walk, Ancestral Recall, 2 Moxes and 2 duals were the big scores (besides that lotus) and with a 600k box that's not even half way.

When you get the Sol Ring with the Lotus. Jackpot.
I like that crimped guardian angel.
I hope just to open a pack in my life. Maybe not. But I have a few 7th Edition packs. Congrats on a well worth it box! 🌌🌠🥳🎉
nice stroll down memory lane!
Thought Tom Scott had got a fancy box of magic from the thumbnail.
Not seen this channel before.
Watched every pack in its single video form! Amazing! Congrats!!!
What a ride. Thanks for sharing it!
Black lotus 1:16:34
What a legendary box opening!
SO GLAD I COULD WATCH THIS!!!!!
Great opening. Love the betas.. hope to ever open one myself on my channel. Lucky thinkin.
the trails leads to that island lmao
I'm sorry for the language....
This was FUCKING awesome to watch. Period. Love you OpenBoosters.
Hello and welcome to open Boosters!!!
Are there any sealed Alpha or Beta boxes left known to exist? What an awesome journey this was.
alpha and beta boxes were never actually "sealed". So verifying that its an actual full box and not just boosters collected and put together over the years, can be difficult. You can find discussions across various forums back when the black lotus in this video was sold about this same exact question. If they were to exist, they would be held very closely and not be well known.
You should do a recap of the grades you got on your slabs
That nightmare doesnt have any of the ink smudge misprint stuff on it. Nice and clean copy.
Edwin is your lucky charm!
Thanks for sharing this. It is a piece of MTG history already.
Amazing…….. absolutely love this content and channel
Was great to watch, hope sth similar will be opened again in the future :)
So what's the deal with every mox emerald having that dent? I'm guessing something to with where the print sheet is held in place during printing or cutting.
rumor has it this man is 20 years old but opening this box aged him 30 extra years.
The sound effects are so bad that I had to mute it
just wow!
This is madness!
I saw ur birthday with Rudy. Nice
thank you for doing this!
This was fantastic to watch just a perfect job done.
I can't believe you opened it!!! Omg !!!!!!
This is better than a first edition original Base Set Pokemon booster box opening.
Thank you that was awesome!
Awesome 😎
I've been hoping you'd make this video.
I wish I had time to watch this whole opening.. So cool that you're willing to spend this kind of money, thank you.
two questions: what do you do with the empty wrappers from the boosters and do you have a time machine?
Dan you are the man!
What a legend, a hero, and a savant.
Crazy Crazy Crazy awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The box we all dream to open.
LOVED these! Thank you! :)
Awesome video! How did you know what was guaranteed to be in the box? ("guaranteed mox emerald")
thanks for doing this video!
If Sol Ring had been rare, it would be the Power 10 instead of 9.
Rare AND not printed in revised and being on the reserved list. Otherwise it would be kind of like mana vault which was rare but reprinted many times. Obviously Sol ring is a better card, so it would have done slightly better than mana vault if it was made rare but still reprinted in revised and over the years. But the reserved list and no printing after ABU is key to power nine’s huge value.
How many unopened beta boxes do you think still exist?
Maybe 10-15
I'd say probably between 10-20.
How much were they in 1993 ? Any idea?
What A FRIKKIN BOX!!
Video about all the grades of the rares ?
Congrats Dan! Best box ever!
This was great from start to finish, thanks guys
Ancestral recall @58:59
