Today is the 25 year anniversary of Pokemon. I only knew what Pokemon was about a year ago when
my son started getting into it. He's six. Funny story, Mitchell's son needed help pronouncing the
name of a Pokemon. Say the name of the Pokemon. We'll see if anybody can guess which one it is
Alolan Exegator? So if you know what he's trying to say, put your answer down in the comments
Lately, there's been a lot of hype based around the first edition Pokemon cards, the booster packs
They have skyrocketed in price, and we wanted to jump aboard this train
So we came up with this brilliant plan to steal Elliot's wallet and go on eBay and buy our very own first edition heavy pack
And here's the one that we bought. First edition jungle booster because we tried to buy a base set booster, but Elliot's card got denied on that one. It was too expensive
So we paid about a thousand bucks for this. How does that make you feel, Mitchell
That's like $100 per piece of paper in there. Is that right? Yeah. Almost. There's 11 cards
I mean, that's more expensive than printer ink, and you could have just bought printer ink and printed your own
And printer ink is expensive, so that's nice. In this pack some of the most valuable cards you can draw are worth anywhere from a thousand to twelve thousand dollars Who doing that What kind of nerd is paying that much for a piece of paper You would You would I could see you doing it We could get a Snorlax a Clefable
Vaporeon. Vaporeon is actually the one that's worth the most. That's like $12,000
Is this like the people that invested in Beanie Babies? This is my retirement account here. Except this is paying back now, finally
but first mitchell and i have agreed to help elliot recoup some of his money that we spent
and when i say we have agreed i mean you guys the viewers which is why we made these things
which might look familiar these are cut out of stainless steel they are a couple inches tall
16th inch thick if you donate using the link down in the description if you donate to help
Elliot recoup his money, we will send you one of these as a free gift. Or if you donate enough
you can get all four of them. Make your donations today. Look at him. He's in need
Why am I here? You still don't know what's going on. I am once again asking for your financial
support. And now it's time to see if we scored big. So I wanted to preserve the quality of the cards, so I did just water only, and we went
over it twice because I wasn 100 sure we made it through but I think we got ourselves a successfully opened package We got it upside down for suspense and the good card is supposed to be three in
The fourth one? I'm going to put that on the bottom. I'm going to put the fourth card on the bottom
We got... I knew dealing with cut-and-half cards was so difficult. There's 11 cards, so what do we got
Five more? Cubone. Gloom. Paris
Parasect. Parasect. Dude. Is that rare? I don't know. Rapidash. final card
what is it it's hollow for sure it's curled it's different than the other cards
Jolteon isn that one worth a ton you cut it in half You idiot No
Look at that. First edition. Holographic. Oh, we need to go look up the value of this
I never even heard of this guy. What was that other Pokemon that you named earlier
Alolan Exegator. So we've got a first edition Jolteon that is in decent condition
The edges aren't too bad. They look like they might be a little waterlogged
But overall, it's in a good condition, which, according to this website right here
we're probably higher than an 8, probably higher than a 9. I think we're like a 10 out of 10 mint
oh my gosh no we could have made our money back on this pack let that be a lesson elliot don't
leave your wallet just laying around anymore okay and don't forget to order your thing i've actually
got 22 cart well trainers are stupid so i've got 20 cards here the first 20 orders will get half of
a randomly selected card. I mean, each one of these is worth 50 bucks
At least. Yeah
