If he doesn’t open them All first lol jk yeah definitely he’s the guy I wouldn’t trust anyone else with vintage sealed but many other guys are capable of just rather spend my money with rusty if I did want some because he it’s 100% honest
So much knowledge being expounded in one vid. Those Vs packs are one of my collection goals...one day I'll get em, lol. Very sad to see reseals and all these scams that happen nowadays. Appreciate everything you do, Rusty!!
I bought my godson a Flashfire pack with a similar seal issue and he still got a Zard. As you mentioned I think, that could be natural due to time and care but I was really worried until he opened it and got a nice pull.
Crazy, the wrap on the booster box looked really good and the packs inside seemed pretty convincing. I'd love to see an opening of the flashfire bb packs
Bullish on all the counterfeit protection stuff metazoo does from the jump. Shame Pokemon and these others won't spend an extra few cents per box to give us a better shot at identifying counterfeits and reseals.
I’ve open so many flash fire booster box and honestly those packs are always like that, been opening a lot of the BW and XY era more then any EX era or WOTC box, and honestly those packs usually rip easily that it’s impossible to resealed
Great video! I've been increasing my collection of booster boxes recently. I feel like I have booster boxes that have similar damage on the boxes that are 100% authentic. So that makes me dubious of the claim it's tampered with based on that alone.
Hi Rusty, Just a suggestion (not concrete) but the dents in the boxes can be common from shipping large palettes due to shear weight and most likely over stacking what is intended from a weight to height ratio. This causes the case boxes to bend and sometimes the booster boxes themselves. You can see this in Rudy's latest "Pokemon Collapses" video at 0:45. Just something to consider. What did you find out about the packs?
35:10 You are saying the flaps still have the connection but aren't the faps supposed to be loose? 🤔 If they are sticking to the under layer, that would be a giveaway they were resealed because when a pack gets resealed, they iron the top or bottom and by doing so, they melt down the top part of the flaps on the layer under. So, it ends up being connected.
idk i think those might just be light seals from the factory and sitting for a few years depending on the collectors storage conditions could affect the crimp...but i think TCA over thinks some of the items and kinda ruined there collector value from removing the seal on boxes that looked good to me...but does make me worried about some products ya never know
The only person in the hobby that does this sort of stuff, all them flashfire packs look dodge as hell Feel sorry for the person who’s owns it such a shame everyone wants to screw each other over for a little extra money Great video rusty no one else does it
Love these videos, Rusty. More people need to be exposed to videos like this so that they can educate themselves on what to look for when making high-end purchases. Awesome video, man!
anyone know where i can sell or trade i nbuild magic cards? I won some auctions in my area from the school i guess they were donated i won 7 lots each lot has 7480 magic cards in it i got them for 10$ each Lot O.o anyone know if i can trade any for booster boxes or so on?
The packs don't belong to him he is selling the packs for someone else, if he opens them he will have to pay for them thus losing thousands of dollars.
@@CashCody well thats what he has to do to confirm the authenticity and not assume no matter if its his or not its his responsibility and he should know that when doing this...
so u want him to open a sealed box, open all of the packs and look at the cards in order to determine if its a legit box or not, and then sell the box that has had ever pack opened? Or what r u saying exactly
When I do decide to finally buy some WOTC packs it'll be with TCA 100%, appreciate what you do!
If he doesn’t open them
All first lol jk yeah definitely he’s the guy I wouldn’t trust anyone else with vintage sealed but many other guys are capable of just rather spend my money with rusty if I did want some because he it’s 100% honest
Just do what i did, clean out your closet and find some sealed jungle packs you paid a dollar for and forgot you stuffed away!
@@Faber0k yeah I’ve found some wild stuff seriously !
@@Faber0k no hidden WOTC stuff there haha i will buy some eventually

Must be tough to be one of the people that people trust to verify stuff like this when it’s so rare

just AMAZING RUSTY !!! if it is a reseal, the best beat the re-sealers good job rusty, may future generation use this video as a tutorial.

Good work, thanks for helping to shine light on a BIG problem in this community!
So what do you sell booster boxes as new and verified even after you’ve opened the BB and broken then seal? How does that work?
Once is a mistake, 4 times it becomes pretty blatant especially with all the other signs sadly 😕 good on you for trusting your intuition!

Dang. I bought a team up booster box a while back. I'm scared now.
Couldn’t you feel the plastic wrapping? Was it soft or hard plastic

Thanks for sharing! This is so good to learn what to look after. Love your content
They took out the hit from all the heavy packs so now those packs are light.
If you think its fake open one and rip it in half.
22:20 you put a 13.00 on the right stack if it matters or im confused
yes he did

When you are putting your reputation on the line its not worth taking risks like that
You could show me a box with a visible trace of hot glue running all over it saying it's real and I would believe you lmao
At this point, you should just do your own shrink wrap, like PWCC!
Can’t wait to watch! It’s sad, why people keep trying to scam just to make a quick buck. Glad you are making the community more aware👍🏻
Super informal video! Thanks a ton rusty!

Great video, love this type of content! thanks for sharing.
God bless you sir, for the work you do to help other people
Blue eyes toon dragon is secret in magic ruler not jinzo
Nice yugioh stuff btw!!
A wealth of information in this vid. Appreciate your vids
Why are people not posting this stuff their self on Ebay?
Wow that's insane..I hope you track down that reseller and he goes to jail..I'm sick of this!!
Very insightful!
The BEST in the business right here!
Rusty has the best integrity in the pokemon game .
Lillie box is missing the gold coin
I wonder if pokerevs flashfire box was resealed when he opened a few months ago. One of the worst hit ratios for a booster box ive ever seen
Rusty, ever thought of doing original yugioh box openings on your lives as well?
geez this guys good!
Great video. I like the detective work.
so there are guys with a reseal pokemon machine..absolutely disgusting how humans can be
That’s crazy the normal person wouldn’t even notice those reseals. Thanks for the knowledge rusty much love!
They aren’t resealed
anyone know where i can sell or trade i nbuild magic cards? I won some auctions in my area from the school i guess they were donated i won 7 lots each lot has 7480 magic cards in it i got them for 10$ each Lot O.o anyone know if i can trade any for booster boxes or so on?
Open the packs dude
they aren't his packs
@@CashCody Never said they were.
u should open the packs like u always do.... not just assume its a reseal so i disliked ur video so u can hopefully do it next time!!
The packs don't belong to him he is selling the packs for someone else, if he opens them he will have to pay for them thus losing thousands of dollars.
