 Hello friends, welcome back to another episode on the channel. This is a little bit of a weird one But it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's something I have thought about a lot But I've never actually done and you know what? I'm a collector at the heart of things. So I thought I would Throw this up for you guys. We're gonna do a pack opening today a booster box opening of darkness of blaze I'm still hunting for that illustrious Charizard card And then let me get these out the picture because we don't want anything and Interfering with a beautiful picture. Okay, so I hope the the angles all right and Everything set up. Okay. I'm not really set up to do this sort of thing, but I thought like I say I'm a big fan of the cards I've been a collector for a long time and Hopefully if this goes down well and you guys like it, I'll do some PSA grade and they've got some cards gone Off to PSA grade and right now. So when they do get back if you let me know and down in the comment section, of course Then we will do that. There is a very special card It is actually my world championship quarter finalist card from 2014 that I'm actually sent away I've plucked up the courage to finally send it. So hopefully it gets a good grade if nothing else It's just for myself. So I'm not too worried about what the grading is on it It's not something I want to sell just something I want to keep and obviously with a PSA sealed grade It's all nice and tucked up and safe. So getting into this today Darkness of blaze. I'm very excited about this. I haven't opened a darkness of blaze booster box yet I haven't got a pair of scissors, but I do have a knife. Do you have a knife a pen? Call that a knife mate That's not a knife. Oh I'm ruining the box. I'm normally a lot more careful with it, but We're gonna take extra care now We're gonna take extra care. So here it is my friends here it is and We've got all these shiny nice cards and obviously the card that you want to be pulling is that Charizard card If I can get it, I want to try and keep the box in as nice condition as possible so I'm just gonna take the packs out and We're gonna just open them as we go. This is so clunky. You watch someone like Leonhardt or Randolph or any of the other guys that do it And they're so clean. They're so practiced And then you come over here and it's like what's this guy doing? He's like bumbling around with these packs Okay, we're gonna we're gonna get there. We're gonna get there. All right, it'll be fine So lots of lots of tasty pecs to open. She's gonna be fun Okay, I'll put these to the side and we'll start with I guess pack number one, which is the Sizzlepeed I guess on the front and not sent the scorch which is interesting. So Man they're not opening is that a sign that there's goodies inside there's goodies inside It's worth waiting for okay, what's the card trick with this one? Well, we're gonna find out It should be four from the back right there is a code card for you guys if you want We're one two three four. Do we play the lean hard guess the energy card game?

We've got there the Charizard come on come on Could it be a sign we need the Charizard? That's what we need Never getting it I know the comments are gonna be like this guy is wrecking the packs He cannot open a pack of cards to see his life, but I Will I will get better it's hard doing it here because normally I'm just doing it my myself and No, I can take my time and do it all like that.

I'm telling you now Okay, the turbo patch Gartrix star avia Shelmit Panpo Marini Poloing Starly Diglett Vesra and Milotic, okay. I don't know why it felt heavy. Maybe my hands are just deceiving me.

Hydragan is very cool card. Very cool Pokemon Right, let's move on. Yeah, the new is it rising? No, it's it's a volt Yeah, is it rising voltage? I don't know. I can't remember something along the lines of that anywhere It's related to electricity. I know that co-card One two three four So yeah, I haven't really had a chance to look too much at the set there But it does look exciting. There's some nice full arts in it So I will be doing them and buying a couple of booster boxes for sure Vibraba and a diggers bee The big bunny, okay Like I said, we've not had too many great pulls yet. Have we we definitely haven't I feel like would you some Pulse we're about halfway through now so Let's see what we can pull in this next half of the box Hopefully it is good There's a code card for someone out there.

Okay psychic energy Areados familiar bell rose tower jigglypuff ducklet Cara blast daramaka lava tar tyranitar reverse holo, okay tyranitar is literally my favorite Pokemon of all times so pulling this I am super happy about and Fly gone not too bad. I'm gonna sleeve that up because I just yeah, I love I love tyranitar We actually got the the reverse holo of Lovato earlier, so If we can get pupa tar then we got the set I might even get them graded just because I love tyranitar So much I do tend to send most of my tyranitar cards off to get graded as well. So It will be a nice addition to the set if I can get the pupa tar as well one two three four So I don't believe there's a V Tito in this set or is it even a V Tito? I don't think so larion old PC more low Toxel and that card felt weird It was that just my fingers that really felt a bit strange skiddy Rallet wishy-washy then dinner reverse holo and Kangaskhan, okay Although that's a nice card. It's a nice card the Kangaskhan Kangaskhan mega Kang is no more I wonder if the Megas will come back At some point they're kind of making their way into Pokemon go right now So it'd be interesting to see them come back in the cards But I think V max and all that sort of stuff and G max and sold and shield the game Kind of overtaken that so water energy rare fossil for it Flaffle pen Paul to the Ursa Rooka D.

So When I do get them I do hope you know like you all do you hope you get the the card that you're looking for You've gone through so many packs, but sometimes it just doesn't happen But you can't let that get the better of you Marnie tall chick Darumaka and hip-out and If I can even speak hip-how done.

Chances are slipping away. We've got three packs left. I don't know if we're gonna get many more I don't know if we're gonna get many more good cards So what do we got so far? Let's have a quick gander at what we've got, right? Let's take the chick the tea tower. We've got the Tensis V My period V handle V and then the full arts. We've got are these three.

That's a nice verse hollow and Lugia non-hollow non-hollow gear and We are down to our last two packs friends. This is about it. I'm gonna leave the Charizard one for last It's probably not the best idea to leave it to last, you know You should I should probably open it now and open the your Tensis one now Because you're never gonna find a Charizard and Charizard pack has that happened before I don't know I feel like it's kind of like the curse isn't it? Right Code card one two three four Psychic energy Flappy Carnivine Cape of toughness Vanelbe Vanillite Got the Rita Nick it Shell mit Ground ball Ruse hollow and Copper Raja Hollow Well This is it friends. This is it. This is the last pack we've got So everything is on the line Can we as Leonhard would say get some last pack magic? That's what we need some big last pack magic Now it will be so fitting my first time recording a booster box on this channel that we do get some last pack magic but If you ever wanted an energy any energy, it's this energy. So let's see what we've got got fire energy sims here larion old PC golet Vanillite Trapinch Teddy Ursa Pants here Reverse hollow of steamy and Now we haven't got anything because it's got the tail Okay, well never mind Never mind. We didn't get the Charizard. It means I got to buy another booster probably and try for it again But we did get some very nice cards. So you got the full arts We got rose biker vault scant and scorch V max and then we got the just the regular V's Clarion slobber alternates is a period and houndoom and then it got my lovely Taranatou card as well, which I'm super happy about and It's probably got the best centering out of everything that I pulled today. So I'm gonna leave that there right there right there for you all to Turd Maya Anyway, let me know down in the comment section how you think I've done and if you'd like to see me Do that PSA grading when it does come back So it will be a little while But if you'd like to see me open any packs and things that I do get when when I get them through and open them Let me know it's always something I enjoyed doing so sharing it with you guys I'll be really nice to do and if that is the case. I'll improve the setup So we've got a little bit of a better setup going on rather than what I've just thrown it together now to do This box this evening. So and thanks so much for tuning in there friends. Have a great rest of your day Hope you've enjoyed today and a little chin wag while we open some cards and I'll see you all for another video very soon So until then take care and bye-bye
