I Bought A $200,000 Box Of Pokémon Cards

[Music] saturday august 22nd 7 42 p.m am i gonna text my old pal gary v yeah you've seen this sports card thing of course side note he's talking about the recent booming sports cards sports cards sports cards apparently there's a lot of money to be made investing in sports cards but unfortunately i don't know anything about sports cards but i did collect pokemon cards when i was younger i told them brother it's the new art pokemon ironically at the top get educated on pokemon all right [ __ ] it i'm gonna do it i love pokemon shouldn't be too hard and it wasn't turns out pokemon is the highest grossing media franchise of all time coming in at over 90 billion dollars ahead of hello kitty star wars mario harry potter and marvel and with the 25th anniversary of pokemon coming up next year i don't see that changing anytime soon now i've left pokemon my whole life literally played the games all throughout high school made a couple of vibral pokemon videos on pokemon art and i only have one tattoo on my body it's a pokemon named squirtle next to my penis so i knew there was a lane here that i did indeed have a passion for so the first thing i did was find an expert crazy bro i feel like i'm you're delivering me drugs this feels like i'm trafficking a kilo but like the price is actually probably more than that's what i'm saying look at this look at this meet jake a collectible guru also known as collectiblesguru on instagram he was nice enough to sell me seven of these little pieces of cardboard for fifty thousand dollars yes i paid fifty thousand dollars for seven pokemon cards and it gets worse just wait all of the cards have red label red label is our ps4 this one is bgs base set first edition shadowless first edition thin stamp thick stamp okay so what is this guy saying psa9 bgs10 std69 blah blah holographic first edition bsa charge what let me break it down when it comes to card collectibles there are two main grading services psa and bgs grading means they rate the card the higher the rating the more valuable the older the card the more value and the rarer the card the most valuable this dark blue shadow behind it decreases the value and the only difference on one you go to stamp on one you got a shadow all right i'm gonna keep this simple pokemon first released what is called not surprisingly the first edition base set indicated by the little first edition stamp on the cards these have the most value the second release did not have this stamp and is also known as the shadowless set still highly valuable because of the lack of shadow behind the pokemon which the following set the regular base set did have so first first edition stamp second shadowless third base set has a shadow got it this is beautiful this is the one yeah this is the one the holy grail of cards this is a nine it just broke twenty five thousand this card is a twenty 25 000 piece of cardboard and you will literally be able to sell it probably between 35 and 40 000 by christmas what the [ __ ] bro now i could already tell that i was gonna like this it's nostalgic it's a strategic investment and most importantly i was having so much [ __ ] fun so i started buying more and more [Music] and more oh these are so cool one of my favorite pokemon gengar also one of my favorite pokemon of all time first edition yellow cheeks pikachu three thousand dollar card right here don't mind if i do i'm like officially a collector as my collection grew so did my excitement for the hobby i started watching pokemon professionals doing advanced research on ebay and even met up with some pretty passionate collectors slabs on slabs look at signs signs signed and sketched top one pop one this is the only one in the [ __ ] world i found out instead of buying the cards outright you could even buy what's called the booster box which comes with 36 packs of cards 12 of which are guaranteed to have a holographic card in it if just one of those cards is a charizard you hit the jackpot in fact josie actually pulled one from a random base pack eyeball [Music] don't touch it don't even look at it don't breathe on it and then she ended up doing it again shut the [ __ ] up shut the [ __ ] up but yeah at the time base set booster boxes were going for about fifteen thousand dollars so i bought one i like this little booster box so much i decided to buy another and another and then two more i was a bad boy in a booster seat buying base that booster boxes [ __ ] but i admit i was in too deep and my obsession was growing i was about to hit the pinnacle of the pokemon pyramid period and look what's on my screen this is a first edition booster box and it's a lot of fun money and uh i'm about to bid on it you don't think i'm gonna do it dude watch this place bed the auction ends in two days let's see what happens again i want to reiterate if you pull one just one first edition psa 10 charizard aka the holy grail of pokemon collecting it's worth two hundred thousand dollars just look at how excited this guy was when he pulled one [Music] hey congrats man now you're rich logan you're gonna pay 165 000 on something you don't know no logan you can't do this this is dumb bro bro you think that's dumb that's the current bid that's going to go to 200 000 you've lost your mind oh [ __ ] when he does something stupid he always puts time into it you have to make sure it's not that stupid look at the condition [ __ ] it's so too much money one day when you sell enough teddy bear merch you can drop to it it's not teddy bear emergency you diminish our friendship but you diminish my brand no you diminish this pokemon but that was me being a good friend no he was pokemon all of you guys terrible friends all right guys the auction's about to start let's do this first edition first prince these cards are in very high grades close the [ __ ] bid bro do i hear 170 no you don't it's only five thousand dollars more last chance [Music] 000. do i support logan spending 200 000 on pokemon cards no and it's getting pretty serious i called him the other day dressing up josie as a charizard i caught him painting all the racquetballs in the house as pokeballs no one in the house even plays racquetball who the [ __ ] buys 200 000 in pokemon cards dumps himself in a [ __ ] bathtub with bubbles and scrubs them dude you're ruining tub time i didn't invite you here get rid of it now i was there when he got that squirtle tattoo in miami i told him not to get another pokemon tattoo what does he do he goes and gets one already sketched out
