As someone who recently got into collecting pokemon cards, I now have a new appreciation for my collection. Didn't know so much time and effort went into making them (even the common ones)
You should have that much appreciation for almost anything you have or use in your daily life. Just as you had no idea how much time and effort went into entertainment by the way of essentially a piece of cardboard. Think about the time and effort that goes into developing anything like the car you drive or ride in, the plane that flies you across the world. Just take a minute to think how truly mind blowing what a plane actually does. 150 to 200 ton piece of metal that can stay in the air and take you places. Or something not as crazy, but how about the phone you probably watched this video on. Unbelievably complicated. I love these cards but a video of how they are made didn't blow my mind to where I have a new found appreciation for them. Honestly it shouldn't for anyone, when people take for granted the shit that we use everyday that means nothing to them or do not stop to think about how lucky a lot of us are to have stuff like fresh water, a roof over your head, modern medicine. Even something as simple as toilet paper or plastic cups we use once and throw away. Some people don't have the most basic things in life. But here we are 🤯 over cards. Not trying to be mean at all. Just that statement made me think. And I'm also on the 🚽 right now, and that's where the best food for though rants start. Enjoy💩
as a design student this was like a lesson... I'm even more impressed with the thought and care that goes into each card, they really are like a work of art
Their process seems strict, and I still get full packs of wildly off centered cards. It makes it pretty obvious why PSA 10's are hard to get, because if they are off by even a smidgen during that whole process, there's 1000's of cards just turned to 8s or 9s.
I was concern if my cards are original, because lots of them was off centered, but the firm that sells cards im my country is on the official list of resellers (card are sell in english), so their quality control isn't so great... sadly
As someone who works in R&D for a toy company this gave me a chuckle to see your reaction to the process. Ever in Sydney and want to help design toys give me a holla 😂
If I had that uncut sheet, I would hang it up in thick plastic and maybe sell it someday since it's one of a kind! (I am more of a hoarder than a seller though)
I love this dude. He was the only pokemon card UA-camr I like. I use to watch you years ago and I'm so glad your still thriving on YT. 100% deserved. Also helps your the only UA-camr I know after looking up after a few years still gets very good views. Most big UA-camrs now that I know gets 50k or below down. You are amazing.
being a 90's kid ive googled this countless time to no luck...its been almost 30 years and there are still very little videos of what its like inside the pokemon card factories...what concerns me is that someone like unlisted leaf had to light the fire to this
Ando we would be keen to see you in the Pokémon factory finishing in the storeroom and do a double booster case opening, where they let u randomly pick any two cases from the huge selection!! Imagine that! We would lose our minds! Ryan and Mitchell
So cool, I want that job? (Unless I can find a beer tasting job 1st) I would like to see how they randomized the cards per pack? Great video, great enthusiasm, always a pleasure seeing you get so excited, it rubs off. Be well my friend.
Crazy how every pokemon card you own has been through multiple prints, cuttings and have all been thoroughly examined by hand, *yet we still get many off center, misprints, and other defects*
they don't all get examined by hand. the first print is examined to make sure the machine is working ok.. and the settings are correct - then they print rapidly. It is probably the best they can do but i would assume the machine won't be perfect throughout the whole process.
Being a press operator and watching this video made me appreciate pokemon cards a little bit more. Especially the check out portion. They are checking copy and registration(meaning the plates are all lined up to create the desired image) and color and that is all influenced by plates, inks(viscosity for density) and making sure microdots line up. its amazing to see what one of those presses looks like didn't realize that decks would be top-loaded with metal err... rigid plastic plates? each deck has a specific pantone color which is checked with a densometer or X-Rite type machine. The eye glass they were using is probably checking for imperfections in the Proof or "standard"... checking to make sure there are no damaged to plates that there are no over impressed decks and that the dot gain looks good. That press looks wild though but all in all standard printing company fare. Press, lamination, and slitting. Didn't think that the holo foil material was actually just holographic film though. Definitely a different process from base set.
I just got a bag of the Trick or Trade packs and the one pack had a Spinarak cut practically in half with the package seal clamped down on the top of the card xD
OMG!! That is soooooo cool I make custom pokemon cards sometimes and those printers are like 100 times the size of my printer! I wish I could open ultra prism but I just can't track it down.
I think it would be cool to frame your uncut sheet, but it's yours to do whatever you want with it. As @LauraDora said, getting it cut at the factory would be really cool.
Such a cool process to watch unfold , especially when your a collector or fan of cards , had a proper childish feeling when I saw the blanket of holo’s too…😂🤯 would love to be sat watching how they make up the art works for each cards , I think that would be sick aswell.
My favorite part of trading cards is that attractive odor they have when you first open a pack. It smells like tree wood and something else I've never been able to figure out.
Im not complaining about any pokemon card or pack I purchase ever again…. I just realized this shit is real life so much effort time and $$$$. No matter how many presets they got they still have to revise
wow this was awesome to see i was always so curious how they were made and how long it took... blows me away they can make them so fast.... it also blows me away there are not more damaged cards in packs or booster box's and or i would love to see the "damaged" card piles they have lol.... i could only imagine there are so many damages with each step a card could go through and if things are not in the right place or one little thing messes up it seems like thats 100s of cards screwed and damaged...
that's pretty cool! back when these cards first came out i was hooked. sometime after they first released, I decided to collect the Team Rocket set and i have only two missing! Also, I'm just curious how did you get an uncut sheet?
Security is very tight, my brother works at one of them, it's way tighter than this guy had to deal with on the video. He told me they have a ton of screenings to do before they can leave, on top of different kinds of detectors. This is just the public version that y'all got to see of one.
Most likely they are running these printers at max speed for efficiency over quality when the printer is running at high speeds the sheet can “bounce” causing the cards to be off center when they are cut and trimmed final, it’s common for all types of printing. The slower the machine runs, the easier it is to catch misprints and it’s less likely to bounce.
@@hanksennette1132 see I understand like the high speeds during printings right. But how is it that I get more holos full arts rares etc. that are miss cut off centered like crazy. But base cards seem to be pretty nice.
Where do you order your Pokémon cards? I’m considering Tcgplayer or tcg stadium, but I wanna know where you get yours because I need a legit place to get real cards from
I thought it was pretty interesting to see how Pokémon cards are made. Just imagine an uncut sheet of gold cards lol
I’m the first person to see this reply lol
And i have a middle finger that you will get if you dont stop bragging L

I'm sure it's also on purpose to keep the price of the most expensive, rare, 10 graded cards up to encourage buying boosters.
the process was strict ONLY for the first few sheets to ensure QC is fine and they mass print it without such strict QC
@@2736492821yeah I would imagine QC becomes difficult at the insane scale they print at
PSA is the most forgiving grading company with their 60/40 rule for centering.

fr so much cooler than individual cards
That’s a great idea haha
Ive been wanting to see this forever... blown my mind!!!! 🤯
Love how excited you got about every part of this. Don't touch your uncut sheet! It's such a treasure as is
So interesting never thought they were made that way
I just retired from factory work. that was a nice clean factory. It is cool to see the product from start to finish.

They put more effort into the cards than into the games (-‘:
Cards are way easier to make lol
Not an excuse
Gamefreak isn’t struggling from lack of effort, but they’re struggling from tight deadlines and lack of time to fully flesh out their games.
@@TheMarionick Gamefreak put the same effort as they always do.
Absolutely no one is stopping them from delaying their games
This is one of the coolest videos on UA-cam in my opinion

Thanks for that arrow in the thumbnail, very helpful.
Wow! They really pulled back the curtain! Love it!
Wow this was an eye opener. Like I knew they put a lot of work into making the cards, but like this magnitude rlly just shows
The thickness check had me. Opened about 10 packs this month with no border on one side at all, or the entire card was crooked.
So cool, I want that job? (Unless I can find a beer tasting job 1st) I would like to see how they randomized the cards per pack? Great video, great enthusiasm, always a pleasure seeing you get so excited, it rubs off. Be well my friend.
This is so cool, as I think this video is just amazing as I love seeing the background process of products like these.
I'd feel like I was in heaven, if I was inside that warehouse
My favorite part is the way they weigh the pack for people who weigh before buying lol
And the packs are still weighable lol
Seeing what these cards go through I'm surprised psa 10s are even possible
I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE IN A POKEMON FACTORY
Idk why you would cut that sheet. Just frame it and keep as a whole sheet as a cool art piece but that's me.
Opening those 📦 with my eyes. I love the process, really fun.
So all the Charizards I've pulled must have been cut by someone who was ready to go home! Makes sense. Mint Charizard, but the edges make it a 9 😂
Code card color has always been an anti-fraud practice. And you can get hits with a green. Noticed this most with Darkness Ablaze.
Crazy how every pokemon card you own has been through multiple prints, cuttings and have all been thoroughly examined by hand,
*yet we still get many off center, misprints, and other defects*

All the people who make so much effort to create perfect Pokémon cards and third of all cards are still cut wrong. Smh.
If I were you I'd just frame that uncut sheet cuz that's so cool to have.
I want to thank you for showing me this because I was telling myself how all this was made and this video popped up. I was in shock and awe!!!

Imagine working there, yea I own all the cards 😎
That is awesome you have an uncut sheet. You should leave it uncut. Thanks for the video that was really neat to see.
I think it would be cool to frame your uncut sheet, but it's yours to do whatever you want with it. As @LauraDora said, getting it cut at the factory would be really cool.
For your uncut sheet did you know Ultra Pro make sleeves for them?
I make the packaging material for the booster packs, but never knew the process of packing the cards its really interesting to see ^^
Really?! That's so cool! What is the pack made of? Is it like a shiny plastic? Looks like aluminium, pleasing to the eyes

Haven’t seen any of ur videos in a long time but I’m glad ur still doing big things 🙏🏼
Yo wassup, can u do more of those MASSIVE openings, like 500 packs of a set, I enjoy them ones
“Is this not the most eye opening video you’ve ever watched on the internet?”
No it’s not 😂 but it’s still damn cool.
sometimes I think, can they sometimes print the old like generation 1 card and sell it themself.. and get rich (?)
That's an awesome video man! Now I really want an uncut sheet too.

he said that we are going to watch it again then he said this is a live reaction at 0:44
“Watch it together”
The only mistakes they need to focus on is the cut. Too many off-centered cuts. 😭
