      @Alex Briggs I wouldn't sell that as a collection, i would quite literally quit my job just to slowly sell them piece by piece. You do not sell this as a lot knowing you would have to give a sizable discount to justify it. And only buyers I see for that would be a big powerseller from Ebay that specialize in pokemon cards = they would try to get a very good deal out of it.

    Interestingly enough, years back there were uncut feed sheets which had hundreds of the same card in a very large sheet. They were fully printed etc just needed to be cut at the borders. I remember thinking if someone ever buys these and has a professional cut them out properly they would be rich.
    I'd be willing to bet this person (and presumably their father) bought those stock sheets and did just that. From watching the videos I propose that for two reasons.
    1. Pokerev mentioned the obviousness of the ratio being off between common/uncommons to holo rares. While this is true a simple explanation could be they realized they werent worth anything and just dumped them once they had their current amount.
    2. If you watch carefully when he counts the charizards, you'll notice the left/right centering is almost perfectly identical for about 20 cards, then the pattern changes and the next set of 20 cards are identical etc. This tells us that this cards were cut in the same literal batches (mind you the only way to get that level of precision would be to buy 500 to 1000 booster boxes straight from the factory, and even then you'd have to assume the factory made every box in your order sequentially without filling other orders between, highly improbable).
    The simplest explanation is often the correct one. They purchased feedstock sheets and cut them, then it sounds like someone advised the guy to say they were sitting in storage (for the serious collectors out there, there's a reason you don't come out and say oh I bought 100 charizards on a stock sheet and cut them). The reason you don't do that is because from a collectible standpoint those cards could be considered fraudulently produced. If the factory didn't create the finished individual card product [yes even if finishing the produ t is as simple as cutting a small yellow square] then it could be argued those are a different class of charizard and placed into a seperate collectible category and thus valued differently. For those that have never seen one before, here's a link to a google image of an uncut holographic machamp uncut stock sheet: images.app.goo.gl/ivNbQJJgZrkYRwJ97
    It's worth mentioning these huge uncut sheets were never priced at the price of one of those cards times the amount of that card on the sheet because they were considered a unique seperate collectible thing.

      I worked at a machine operating job this past year, I had to work with nametags made of different material. There was often material exactly like pokemon cards that I would cut with a very simple machine you would put each corner in of the nametag after you've cut them from the rows. For a nicer finish and clean beveled edge you stack them on top of each other (or do one at a time, usually the less is better for a cleaner cut) and push on a pedal. A metal cutter comes down and cuts them precisely. So I know exactly what you mean by the batches of cards being slightly off. You sound pretty spot on from my experience using those machines, it would not be difficult to get access to in a warehouse that makes nametags or a similar business.

    probably had a family member who owned a card store back in the day who opened packs to sell individual cards. Store must have gone bust and a decade or so later family member is deceased, and the cards are found. That would explain the hundreds of booster boxes needed to achieve a collection of this size, probably even got rid of bulk by selling them in premade packs.

Sure it's not great for value and rarity but for those of us who just love the game & love collecting our childhood cards these are a blessing because there's more supply to meet the ever growing demand (assuming he's going to get rid of them). Sorry for investing collectors, but huge win for passionate nostalgic collectors

    I doubt most of these holos were in a pack to begin with. There are a couple of red flags but the biggest is the fact that none of them are first editions. If you’re collecting cards through various channels you’re going to get your hands on some first editions. To avoid any scandals it would be fine to have a huge collection of UNLIMITED edition cards that wouldn’t affect the value of the first editions that are limited. Someone definitely made their own collection at the factory.

    Wow. I also collected Pokemon with just the goal of collecting the 1st generation of 151 cards back in 1999/2000. Once I collected all of them, I lost interest rather quickly and the collection sat in a closet for approximately 5 years until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, LA, where I lived in Lakeview at the time, in 2005. We had approximately 16ft of flood water in our area, only a quarter mile or lesser, away from the levee break.
    I remember when I went back to see the damage from the storm, I saw a few of my cards stuck in the muddy, sandy sludge that remained in the house after the storm. I was pretty apathetic at the time over losing that collection. Although, as time went on, I realized what I actually lost, since the cards I had were in absolute mint condition, probably close to PSA 9ish.
    I was only 16 at the time and my attention shifted to girls and sports, amongst other things, naturally. We weren’t wealthy by any means. It took a long time to build that collection through trading and buying cards whenever I could afford it myself since my mom, who was a single mother of three boys, really couldn’t afford to spoil us with nonessential things, although she really tried her best to do so regardless of the hardships it may have caused her at the time. She was very selfless when it came to making her kids happy but needless to say, I was lucky to open a pack or two every couple weeks, maybe even once a month.
    That year, in 2000, when Christmas rolled around and we got some gift money, I went straight to our local card shop and spent $120 on a gem mint 1st edition Charizard. I remember it like it was yesterday because it was the very last card I needed to complete my set and after the cashier handed that card to me, I shouted, “I caught em all!!” and quite a few kids came up to me, extremely eager to see my binder of cards and attempt to make trades.
    Those were the days…
    _Those. Were. The. Days._

    The reason there’s more holo then non-holo most likely is because these cards come from Pokémon card uncut sheets.
    Yes their 100% real cards become that’s how they’re made. But that’s my guess.

      and the fact that he would be willing to slide them over each other like that. even as a 10 year old you knew sliding them scratched the holofoil really, really bad. even if you didnt care about your collection enough to put them in sleeves you would at least be careful to not scratch them all up.

    Back in 8th grade my buddy and I convinced our rich friend to start playing MTG with us and of course told him that buying boxes of booster packs(right when 4th edition came out!) was the way to go... needless to say I ended up with binders, yes BIUNDERS FULL of Dual Lands and rares that would currently total hundreds of thousands of dollars... Not to mention the rest of my collection I had started playing/collecting when "The Dark" was brand new..
    All of my cards were left, forgotten about in a couple boxes in a storage unit..that was AUCTIONED OFF after an ex GF and I broke up and thought the other person was paying for it!! I lost a literal fortune...Still hurts to think about... So I can say from experience it's totally possible to acquire this kind of collection, VERY unlikely but def possible!!

    This struck a chord with me. I’m 30 and like many was obsessed with Pokémon. I collected relentlessly and built my ultimate binder with holo base set charizard blastoise and many more. I even got a card once from a tournament that they told me was extremely rare as a prize but I can’t remember what it was 🤔 anyway this collection is in my mum and dads somewhere. They have a garage and loft and as I moved on from my obsession they stored the cards out out the way. I asked my dad in 2020 had he threw them away or given them away and he guaranteed me they are around somewhere because he remembers telling my mum they will be worth money one day but we have no clue where. It’s crazy to think somewhere in that garage or loft sits a lot of money. Il probably cry if and when I’m reunited with them 😂😞 I spent a full day looking through the garage got about half way through all the junk and no luck. Even remember the binder it was red and had charmander on the front 😅 if I ever find them il comment again. Sorry for the essay everyone but when I tell people who don’t get it they just think I’m strange 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

    This guy is friends with the owner of my local card shop. Apparently the guys dad either owned or worked in where they produced/distributed these cards when they made the 4th print (UK print) of the base set.
