When Pokémon Pack Resealers Get EXPOSED on Camera!

Opening Pokemon packs is supposed to be the best part of collecting. However, some scammers have figured out how to steal the good cards and seal the packs right back up. From vintage packs full of modern cards to empty boxes from Target, here are the most disastrous Pokemon resealing scams ever caught on camera. Starting us off with a scam so bold that whoever pulled it off didn't even bother which packs were inside the box. However, the victim of this scam was not a regular customer, but a rip-and-ship streamer who had bought this Japanese 151 box from a scammer on eBay, and as he opened it for a customer live in front of his whole chat, no one expected what he was about to pull. Luckily, this was caught live on stream, but imagine if this customer had purchased the box directly from the scammer. He may have ended up like the next guy on our list, that ended up making the worst mistake and had to confirm his suspicion with a vendor nearby. So he walks up to him and asks for a second opinion on whether the pack he had just bought looks resealed or not and as soon as the vendor picked it up he immediately didn't like what he saw it does look resealed to be honest with you did you just buy this here today where'd you buy it from the vendor was even ready to confront the scammer however when he asked who sold him the resealed pack the customer refuses to say anything but yeah it does look resealed to me did you rip one of them there was nothing you don't feel comfortable telling me who that was? No, you're all good. No worries. I'm honestly just sorry that happened to you, dude. Thank you. Yeah, of course, dude. Have a fantastic day. And just like that, a scammer may still be on the run resealing even more packs every day. And even the biggest names in the community aren't safe from these reseals. Since when Pokerev bought this $225 fossil pack off eBay for one of his videos, he ended up finding something out that would ruin his day, as it didn't take long for him to realize that something about this pack was very wrong. That is not a good sign. I think this might be a reseal or something oh my god our fossil pack was oh i can see the glue what year are these cards 2019 oh my god oh this evolution's in here i still can't believe that he paid 225 dollars for a bunch of bulk from 2019 however not every reseal is as obvious as this one and this next fossil pack which the streamer was about to rip is the perfect example of that because while it may look odd at first from how easily it ripped, as the streamer began flipping through the cards, the less obvious the resale became. With every card still in perfect order, even I'm not sure what to believe anymore. But regardless of what happened here, at least this pack had real cards in it, because this next one had something inside that nobody saw coming. Because when a viewer sent these streamers a base set pack, they could not resist opening it live due how suspicious it looks however when they opened nobody could tell that this pack had already been tampered with no no no wait i want to keep it sealed it's too late for that that's not look at that pro resealing job bro whoa i mean it looks good to me all right we got pidgey it's an all base set maybe maybe oh but that's a shadowless nidoran switch shadowless drowsy that looks just like a modern card dude that's exactly how modern cards come out the packs nowadays shadowless machop energy but everything changed when they reached the very end of the pack and finally found what was waiting for them energy oh wait a fiery fusion of charizard and cheesy spice. Believe it or not, a real Cheeto shaped as a Charizard sold at an auction for $87,000 last year. So who knows, they may have made billions of dollars from this card. Now up next, we have one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. Because this resealed box was picked up straight off a shelf from target and when this collector opened it up he found out that every single pack inside was already empty so i got this box from target and apparently it was a returned resealed box because all the packs were empty they tried to super glue the ends of the packs as you can see that there is some uh leftover super glue on this pack And you can see how it's already been tried to be super glued. So same for this one. You can see the super glue that was left on there. And you can see how someone tried to super glue it already. Petty people for some pieces of paper. And then they tried to re-super glue it closed, I guess. So be careful, y'all. And just make sure your boxes aren't resealed returned items. This is a whole new level of evil. Because whoever returned that box probably got all their money back from Target it and still kept every card that was inside. And the craziest part is that Target was so incompetent that they didn't even bother to check the return before putting it up for sale again. Now this next buyer thought he had found an amazing deal on this vintage Sky Ridge pack that he bought online, but it did not take long for things to get suspicious. While the seller listed it for $999, they ended up settling on $825. And when the pack finally showed up, upon close examination, he found something incredibly suspicious. Once I removed the pack from the cardboard, it was packaged in a clear sleeve, and this was held shut with a security seal. I did notice this seal in the pictures online, but just didn't think much of it. So I break the seal, take the pack out, and start examining it. The bottom crimp appears to be intact, but then the top looked a little bit different. These ridges here felt sort of flat. There's this strange line on the front of the crimp, and most notably when I turn the pack over, behind where that little seal sticker was in all the pictures is this strange discoloration. And so he DM'd the seller, who came up with a flawed excuse. Now, immediately when I saw this, I messaged the seller and asked him about it. He said, I believe there was a price sticker on there and it was removed. Okay. A price sticker? Come on, man. If that was true, then why was that spot covered up in every single picture of the listing? And what was even more suspicious is what the seller said next. He also said he got the pack from another online seller that sold Pokemon cards and sports cards. But if you remember, the listing says that he got the pack from a box break a few years ago. Things aren't lining up, allegedly. Now, I know these scams have been insane so far, but make sure to watch until the number one spot because they somehow only get more ridiculous from here. This next vendor decided to buy 47 packs from this random guy at a card show for $310. But when he started opening them with his friends, he realized that the packs were missing the third hit. Hey, you guys want to help me rip this? Red Victini, bro. That's what we're looking for. Is this missing or is something getting caught? Am I tripping? Is missing the hit? No, let's just open one of these bro. It was I didn't open that guys We just bought a bunch of resealed packs. So they had sleeve boosters as you can see. I'm not even not even opening it They're already to be sealed. So they tracked down the man to get their money back. So there's glue on it That's all that's all fake And bro the pack didn't have a third hit There was something that told me just to open it up Unfortunately, not every story ends with a refund, as this next streamer learned that the hard way, because WenzelTCG had bought a factory sealed case of Japanese 151 boxes to sell, but the moment he opened the shipping case, he immediately knew that something was wrong. We got scammed on an entire factory sealed case of 151 Japanese booster boxes. Instantly, when I opened up the case, I noticed the double layer of glue on the case itself. And then right away, you could see a slight blue tint to the seal of the boxes. Japanese boxes are very clear and the wrap is very loose. You can see here with this pitch black box, super clear, loose wrap. This thing is extremely tight. Guys, got to be careful. seal cases are not safe luckily he caught it before any of those boxes ended up with a customer but he still got stuck paying for an entire case of resealed product however our next vendor wasn't even that lucky because he didn't find out until the box was already open because when he opened up this poncho pikachu box in front of the sellers he found out the horrible truth It looks legit. The way it feels. They mean that it feels more softer. Yes or no? Or someone steals my money. The way I grabbed it before though, it just... Yeah, yeah. There we go, there we go. But the thing is the condition of it looks way better. I'm looking for about like $380. Than the other one. For the trade, you should know this. Oh my f***. No, this is still not legit. Wait, what? And not only did this box not have the promo, but the packs were from the wrong set as well. These days, even buying sealed from a vendor is always a gamble. But even so, buying from an online shop is always 10 times worse. and this father and son were one of the millions of victims of the online scams as they had bought a 151 box from a shop on tiktok and decided to open it in their next video at first they're not even sure if anything is wrong let's see what we got actually i am kind of worried i don't see anything crazy but the little flaps are sealed up maybe that's a terrible sign because they don't actually look bad besides that actually however the closer they look the worse it gets oh wait a minute look at that it's like hold on oh that doesn't look good oh look at that it's like a cut right there oh no no there's another cut right there oh no i did buy two boxes from the same shop oh man there's no way this happened yet this is glued and this one's very sealed too look at that you can see where they cut it open and this wasn't even the first time that this shop had done it to them oh man well that means i know where it comes from though because i bought two boxes from the same place and we know that they did it now yeah so now i can actually let y'all know who did it so you'll be seeing that now getting scammed once is bad enough but getting scammed twice by the same shop is just painful to watch but imagine if you had bought some pokemon cards and gotten something entirely different instead. That's exactly what happened to this YouTuber who bought a full case of Japanese booster boxes. Everything looked normal from the outside, with every box still wrapped and stacked neatly inside of the case. But once he opened them up, he realized that he didn't get any Pokemon cards at all. Someone had filled these boxes with One Piece packs instead. But since those have become pretty valuable lately, the scammer may have accidentally sent him something worth a considerable amount of money. Now this vendor had bought a few elite trainer boxes from a dad at a card show. These boxes are supposed to come with a special promo card and a stack of sealed packs. But later on, a customer decided to open one of the boxes at the table, but the promo card wasn't there. So they started feeling the packs and almost every single one of them fell off bro what's my luck are they cooked oh they might be cooked let me see all right it's pretty crazy are they all like that oh yeah yeah they're all like that they're cooked they all i guess this one doesn't no this one didn't Now this is the type of situation that can ruin a vendor's credibility since if they have no proof of the previous sale, they could easily be accused of scamming, no matter how they try to deny it and it would be hard to believe them since some scammers will go above and beyond to cover their tracks however sometimes a hero steps in to take down the scammers just like when rattle pokemon caught a shop in japan resealing boxes and he was not about to let them get away with it he had bought japanese scarlet ex boxes from the shop but when he opened them the best cards were all missing it sucks it really sucks that people can be this terrible uh and that the the srs were removed from the scarlet boxes the two violet boxes came from a different seller so he started investigating and the evidence he found was hard to ignore not to mention uh the included singles so you don't sell singles online uh you don't seemingly open product and sell the singles uh but then they include this little this little packet of bulk can you guys guess where this bulk came from yeah it came from the packs that they stole the the hits out of very nice if we flip the box over they happen to to be resealing from the left side so we take a look at that we'll take a look here see all that extra crap on there you can feel it with your finger if you run it over it they added super glue so you can smell it you can you can feel it it was a good one there's a good one look at that splatter look at that look at that money shot right there we have um they they resealed the box on uh on the left hand side on both of them so clearly intentional we had two of the scarlet packs ended up with no lot number on them as well uh which i don't think is a big deal and i don't think where the actual scam happened uh what is a big deal uh is there's three packs with numbers that do not match the two that correspond to the boxes themselves so they they replaced three of my packs which contained higher rarity cards uh one of the boxes was missing the SR and the other probably had an SR and an SAR in it so we got scammed for three hits and now he's filing fraud reports and getting law enforcement involved so this shop may be in some serious trouble but somehow this deal isn't as crazy as the number one spot on our list because when this streamer was about to buy this $75,000 base set box from one of his viewers the last thing he expected was for this box to be entirely tampered with. He quickly noticed a few warning signs on the outside, but the only way to know for sure was to open it. But I can't fully tell. And the reason being is there is some damage to the box here. Now, so oftentimes this kind of damage is kind of alarming, right? Because typically you don't see this crease, right? Typically you don't see these creases on the boxes unless somebody opened it and folded the flap back, right? Now, the reason why I don't think this was you know opened and done like that and one of the reasons I think is that it's not but I'm not sure that's why we're gonna open it is for the simple fact that it is jammed as you can see here do you see this side you see that this box side right here it's been jammed so something hit it something impacted this box here on the outside what I've noticed is that the country code there's usually only one country code right but for this box there's there's multiple country codes so that's something else to kind of factor and think about as well so that was a little bit interesting for me that there was more than one country code on the bottom of this specific box lastly the thing that you know some of you guys might have noticed if you looked at this there's no Wizards of the Coast wrap this again can be alarming it should you know ring bells these are all different things you want to look for and you kind of want to weigh out in your head to understand and kind of gauge if you know there's something wrong or not and when he finally did it didn't take long to to realize that the box had been resealed. But the craziest part came when he found something in the box that was definitely not a Pokemon card. Oh, look at that. Look at that. That's got to be a vintage booger. Oh my god, dude This booger was probably from the guy who resold the box like 20 years ago. Oh my god put this in a sleeve I call PSA right now if I get this graded, bro I got it. I got it. I got it. I got the booger baby. Yeah Can you guys imagine if someone had actually bought this box? The sheer absurdity makes this one of the craziest reseals to ever be caught on camera.
