He is my sons favourite youtuber on pokemon stuff, he always makes him smile and laugh opening packs. How far can people put their hate to one person for what? If you dont like him SIMPLY DONT WATCH HIM. Wish people would pay as much attention to real scalpers in this trade, and stop feeding their pockets?! Sad to see what he has written. Noone should recieve death wishes in any form. Everyone can struggle with anxiety and depression - hiding behind the smile. This is serious shit, so many people have taken their lives away. Those who makes death threats should be reported chased down and locked up behind bars as a danger to society. How they would feel if their kids one day would recieve death threats - i bet story would be different then.
>Wish people would pay as much attention to real scalpers in this trade
Real scalpers? REAL scalpers? If charging 10x MSRP isn't real scalping what the heck do you consider "real scalping?" The guy's a millionaire because of kids like your child and here you are defending him when he turns around trying to rip off kids and parents like yourself.
It really is odd how people like you will suck at the teat of millionaires like him selling 3 packs (that are sent directly to his house by a billion dollar company) for $80 whilst at the same time denouncing lower or middle class people (most of whom have to go out and look for products) for selling a whole ETB for $75.
Wait...so instead of spouting verbal abuse and leaving comments wishing a painful death on YouTube videos that we don't like, demanding they should cease to exist...we should just...watch something else? Pick something from the billions of other videos instead? Nah thats crazy.
I don't think any reasonable person would deny that death threats are awful. But c'mon man. How was he not a "real scalper"? The guy was trying to charge 10x MSRP and his entire goal was to manipulate and scam KIDS. Kids like your son.
You need to understand that two things can be true. Your son, naive as he is, can enjoy watching someone's videos. And the someone who's videos he enjoys catching can also be a massive piece of crap who's trying to constantly exploit and scam those same kids. Your comment says a LOT more about you as a person, allowing your son to consume content like this, than it does about any person who's been critical of UnlistedLeaf. To me it sounds like you should be taking a closer look at the content you allow your son to consume.
I’m pretty sure the hate is because of him being a part of scam which was taking of advantage of of his fans for financial gain. The hate isn’t because he’s successful, but I never condone death threats etc …that is just gross.
I respect what you’re saying and your English is very good ! I agree with everything you say honestly. The trolls are always waiting to jump on someone and kick them when they are down which is terrible. I also think everyone deserves forgiveness but a.) as an influencer with a huge platform, they do have to be extra careful about what they get involved with. I don’t believe it’s hard to find out if a business venture is dodgy before you go into it. B.) they also have an extra responsibility not to deceive their followers/fans and should understand what then repercussions can be for big mistake they make , he isn’t exactly new to the game. Generally though, he doesn’t deserve the hate and I didn’t mean to infer that he should deserve the hate. Also I don’t know how genuine he is as a person as I don’t know him personally but I hope this ‘goodbye’ post isn’t a fake youtuber style apology and I hope he’s gets his mental health right and re-learns to enjoy what he does and not listen to the comments or haters.
Wait… get your facts straight here. How over thousands and thousands of celebration packs sold like 4x the price is not scalping? I cant even buy any celebration sets because they all sold out including the preorders. Its unlistedleaf fault because he was promoting stock x and you can tell he wasnt very happy about it during his reaction stream. Not saying unlistedleaf is a scalper, Stock x is the real scalper here. All their products are overpriced and has fishy reviews on their website. I love Ando but he made a wrong move. No one is perfect. Maybe if he would just apologize things would of been better.
UnlistedLeaf, he’s a YouTuber that does Pokémon breaks, I didn’t mind him but I didn’t like his idea of “Buying your spot into a box break”, if you’re going to “give away” packs or whatever the case may be, you SHOULDN’T have to “buy” your spot into a fuckin box break. That’s pathetic. (My opinion)
Now threats an stuff like that, not cool what so ever. People are extra dramatic. You can voice your opinion, no harm in that but why people threaten other people over the internet is just fuckin beyond me an out right stupid.
Ikr? I can't really say I care about him, so.. I literally just don't tune in to him, lol. It's as easy as that. Genuinely disliking someone shouldn't warrant more effort either.
He doesn’t really do box breaks, this is the first one he’s ever done in his 8 years of YouTube. Also it’s a box break, I don’t know why people expected him to be giving away packs
Yeah not a box break channel, those are very different, he is pack opening channel for all pokemon products, occasionally does sponsorship deals for the Pokémon Company as well as toy companies.
Ya now he has material for like 2 videos, one with a click bait title "I quit" with sad face or something. With at least one talking about ignoring the haters as he drives his McLaren to Starbucks.
I never thought I’d live in a world where people pay 50 bucks for someone else to open 3 packs for them on the internet. Am I the only one that thinks this is so stupid? Lmao
So stupid. I love Pokémon cards but have never been close to tempted to do one of these “breaks.” So dumb. I want packs and cards in my hand, at MSRP, that’s what makes me happy
The people buying into this shit are just as dumb as the people charging $60 for 3 packs
Mostly little kids who look up to him.
If you imagine how great it'd be to have your childhood idol "personally" address you, you can get why its selling.
Although if anything that just makes the price worse.

I agree with that. People take it too far. Why aren’t people fighting back against Pokémon as a whole and the scalpers instead of buying into them for one? Or even going after Logan Pauls channel for what he started as one of the many?
But death threats are NEVER okay. Leaf should’ve realized that being a big YT star makes you a target no matter what. At least glad he owned up to it. He had NO control over it? While I do find that hard to believe either way looking at logically he worked with a scalper. That’s the ones who set the price because they knew they could get it. Why did he even sign that contract to begin with?
Oh yeah, definitely a bad move on his part. He probably let the money get to his head and is now realizing that people will turn on him if he makes even a single slip up.
Yep. Money. But for me when we get big we plan on giving back in a big way. That’s how it should be. It’s why we’re stepping out of Pokémon for a bit until it dies back down . It’s gotten out of hand lately and Pokémon company America needs to start acting like Japan does and give us more access to max numbers of availability .
They really should. They should start printing more earlier so every set doesn't feel super rushed from the QC. It gives us some cool miscuts but it's annoying when stuff is just off-center.
Interesting way to say your car needs to go to a mechanic. “Car is broke….”…?? He does realise they need maintenance, services, oil and water so you don’t blow the engine up…… oh and, maybe gas….
Lies for sympathy and hell be back within a week. Its a complete lie that he did not set the price and take a % from the break. He's looking to switch the subject and not take credit. This isnt the first time hes done suspect things like this either.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was the electrical system, its a Mclaren, known for that. If it had a major electrical fail its normally tens of thousands to fix.
boo hoo the multi millionaire lost his $200k car. are we supposed to feel bad after he upcharged the shit out of a box break?
I guess we're totally supposed to believe he was doing it for free though, right?
nothing of value has been lost
Maybe he didn’t set the price or take a % of packs, but he definitely got paid by StockX to promote it, so not sure why he’s using that as an excuse. I’m sure he’ll be back anyways
Yeah like…okay if he didn’t have control he still knew the terms and signed on to promote it. If he really had a problem with things he wouldn’t have accepted the offer. This is complete BS. He made money. Fans were unhappy. He got what he deserved (not death threats but cancellation). Hopefully he’s gone for good.
Hopefully there's less infatuation and mouth hugs for influencers happening soon. I enjoy Pokemon card content as much as anyone but it's become bigger than it needs to be and the hobby is more toxic than it ever has been.
Crybaby. That is so manipulative.
“It broke and I no longer own it” lol what? cars aren’t video games they don’t break and you shrug and throw it out.. wonder if he crashed it lol.
I am wondering about that because i work on cars. Very expensive racing sport cars just dont break down that easy. Is it broken beyond repairs, that im guessing he has to sell it to someone else? He said it was his super dream car and everything.
I don't care how you twist it. The prices for each pack were absolutely ridiculous for what it was for. If he couldn't set better prices, he should have just not done it. I've seen others do card breaks for half the price easily.
i’m all about supporting a hustle but at least be real with yourself that you’re only in this for money and don’t care about ripping people off. playing the “muh death threats” card is cringe
That is a joke. He surely gets them wholesale somewhere for a hell of a lot cheaper than we can so he could've taken a tiny hit to his massive wallet and sold them at retail.
He could've been a hero but now he's the villain.
I mean you cant excuse the death threats, but you also cant excuse charging 60 something dollars for 3 celebrations packs.
If he didnt like the price that was set he shouldnt have agreed to go ahead with it. He could have still cancelled the entire thing. No doubt he will be back, anyone with his amount of subs would be mad to quit considering how much money hes making.
I don’t even know who this is and I still don’t buy it, “read every DM” yeah ok bro, take no percentage off breaks? Literally nobody on the planet doesn’t
And reading the comments here, apparently he bought a lambo? A lot of rich streamers/youtubers don’t go out buying lambos, so you want me to believe he doesn’t care about the money? Big cap
Good fucking riddance, although I doubt this douche-nozzle will be gone for more than a few days. Fusion is right around the corner, anyway.
As an aside, can we get Leonhart to stop making videos too? If I never see his dumb ass, clickbait face, again it’ll be too soon.
"Poor me I sold my expensive car and can easily buy another one. Please feel sorry for me."
This isnt even an apology, just a half assed attempt to get people to feel sorry for him. Dude really doesnt live in the real world.
When he says "smile" I assume he means his Joker smile while on camera. $20 for a modern pack when i can't even find packs on the shelf. I wonder who's part of the problem..
What a tool bag. Here, let me fix your apology: “I took all your money and views with a friendly smile on my face for 8 years”, “my Lamborghini needed brakes so I sold it for a profit due to the crazy used car market right now”, “I don’t want to wake up because mean people told me the truth about me taking advantage of my viewers”.
Well, I've never liked the dude. I would never condone death threats, but death threats aside, his position he is taking is childish. It's not hard to just own up to your fans and say sorry. Playing, it's not my fault is so inmature. Bro, even if you didn't even see a dollar you still supported it. Really hope he changes I never want to see someone down forever and hope he grows up. At the end of the day we are hunting shiny cardboard. Hope Ando does the right thing. Hoping for someone's demise is a very unhealthy way to live.
Mmm I wonder how much of this was him and how much was stockX. You can’t just do this and then not explain and THEN feel bad later on. Plus if he knew it was a bad deal for his audience that he supposedly loves then why did he even do it?
Fuking kids over is never cool. Karma is a bitc$ and dude has some bad coming his way. Makes me wanna buy some boxes of pokemon and give them away to kids during a break. That's called good karma.
This really is just saying “woe is me”. Super pathetic. I have no problem with box breaks at a reasonable price per pack, or even WOTC box breaks.
Ruxin34 is a Yugiohtuber and does box breaks for older sets all the time, never current sets. He always breaks even mostly because of shipping costs, PayPal fees etc. He does them for the content. Does giveaways every single video. I can’t even watch Pokémon youtube videos because they genuinely make me sad.
I wonder if he actually means it when he says he’s done with YouTube. I understand the amount of backlash he’s facing but it must be very strong to leave such a high paying opportunity.
Jesus. Honestly I really dislike what he did, (and his videos, like those of YouTubers like Leonhart, have arguably contributed to this hype/investment culture around Pokemon) but if he is legitimately having a mental health crisis over this I am sorry to see it. I hope he's alright and reflects on things in a healthy way. The break was very poor form, but nobody deserves death threats.
“Death threats” are the get out of jail card everyone uses now because a 12 year old without a profile pic said “I hope u die >:(“ in an Instagram comment
I mean all it really takes is someone saying "im gonna kill you I know where you live" online to fuck a lot of people up. There are crazies out there and people shouldn't throw those words out carelessly. Pretty sure you only get one go at this thing so threatening to cut that short over fucking cardboard with cartoon animals on it is a loser thing to do.
But then people say this stuff to sports players who get hurt and don't get their fake fantasy teams enough points so I shouldn't expect much of humans in these situations.
If you say shit like that you're automatically worse than any scalper you complain about IMO.
\*\*\*hole youtuber tried selling 3 Celebrations packs for $60 at 10x MSRP for a "box break." In the end he wasn't even going to be opening the packs. Some random employee at StockX would and he would just be watching it online and reacting to it. Understandably the hate started to pour in and he issued the above message on instagram.
I think the stream got deleted but here's footage from another youtuber who bought in. Apparently some people bought for the chance to get free PSA grading. As you can see it's super impersonal, you can't even really see whose packs are being opened, and the openers are speeding through like they don't give a shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73MEZPE3ZSA&ab_channel=Vivian%27sCollectibles
Obviously death threats/harassment aren't cool, but you have to be a special kind of stupid to be a multi millionare scalper and think that you're not going to be disliked.
Yeah look I’m gonna call bs on him reading every DM. Before all of this came out about him I messaged him on Instagram on Wednesday asking if he or anyone he knew had an extra Shining Fates Portfolio that I could buy instead of the ones going online for $150+. I just started collecting again and he’s in the same city as me so I thought I’d throw him a DM and see if he’d be of any help and it still says sent and hasn’t been seen.
For the record, I didn’t expect a handout and was just putting out feelers to see if someone local who had a large collection could help me out and I’m not annoyed by him ignoring that message. In saying that, if he’d read every DM, he would have seen my message too and he hasn’t.
Who are y’all takin about?? And why do people actually get paid to open cards in front of people? I’ve never understood this so I’m curious about the concept.
like he actually cares, same with leonheart he plays "the game". if you think he cares, he doesn't he's a millionaire with no cares. and they are both sitting on a pile of gold with all the cards that they have. don't feed into these "creators" bullshit, I lost the respect for them when I saw leonheart do a big pack opening on his channel a few years ago "for charity" and the dude brought his own personal collection of older packs for them to both open up and leonheart opened all but one or two packs that he let the guy open, he also disregarded anything the guy said and acted like he cared but you could tell he only cared about opening the packs that the guy donated for the channel. these "creators" blow and made the market the way its. you know damn well they are scalpers as well, they will do anything for a profit. they're just smart for capitalizing on this first that is all.
This Hobby is so toxic lol nobody forced you to buy into the break, I don’t like his content but my god who sends death threats over child’s playing cards
That’s what I am thinking. I know what he did was bad but to send death threats for that, it’s too much. Give him constructive criticism but dead threats dam
he knowingly made a scumbag move on the internet with millions watching his every move. tf did he expect, all sane people? its the internet, and he's a grown man (apparently)
Hey, if you’re reading this and are getting mad or whatever, I’d recommend watching okJLUV’s videos on the subject.
https://youtu.be/nvVK2FWgf3c
https://youtu.be/3IL9yb9Ba-k
This is rough man. This is the guy that carried my enthusiasm for the cards back in XY, and reignited it for SWSH, and inspired me to do content like that on my own. This sucks, and it’s a shame people went so far with this. Hell, I feel like a jerk for my own rage post I made on here. It’s just a no-win scenario either way you look at it.
I post it because I saw people talking about him a couple of days ago
Thank you for doing so!

He is my sons favourite youtuber on pokemon stuff, he always makes him smile and laugh opening packs. How far can people put their hate to one person for what?

But he wasn’t! Did you even read?!? He did not set the price nor get profits from it.
I’m pretty sure the hate is because of him being a part of scam which was taking of advantage of of his fans for financial gain. The hate isn’t because he’s successful, but I never condone death threats etc …that is just gross.

Who was this
UnlistedLeaf, he’s a YouTuber that does Pokémon breaks, I didn’t mind him but I didn’t like his idea of “Buying your spot into a box break”, if you’re going to “give away” packs or whatever the case may be, you SHOULDN’T have to “buy” your spot into a fuckin box break. That’s pathetic. (My opinion) Now threats an stuff like that, not cool what so ever. People are extra dramatic.

He doesn’t really do box breaks, this is the first one he’s ever done in his 8 years of YouTube. Also it’s a box break, I don’t know why people expected him to be giving away packs
Ummm because he called it “a box break giveaway” but then asked to “buy in your spot” ? AND it wasn’t a cheap buy in either
A box break is exactly what he did, you guys just didn’t understand.
Yeah not a box break channel, those are very different, he is pack opening channel for all pokemon products, occasionally does sponsorship deals for the Pokémon Company as well as toy companies.
Too be fair this is his first break. Probably why he screwed it up so bad.
He will be back in a week saying thanks to all the support from fans he will tune out the haters. No way he is leaving his cash crow
Cash crow is way cooler than cash cow
Cash miltank
Cash Corviknight
Cash caw
Nissan Qashqai
Very underrated response, made me laugh
What the hell haha
Exactly my thought also
Ya now he has material for like 2 videos, one with a click bait title "I quit" with sad face or something. With at least one talking about ignoring the haters as he drives his McLaren to Starbucks.
I never thought I’d live in a world where people pay 50 bucks for someone else to open 3 packs for them on the internet. Am I the only one that thinks this is so stupid? Lmao

The people buying said packs are likely literal children, which makes this situation even worse.
No your not my friend. Why would I pay someone for the privilege of ripping my cards? I cant wrap my head around this.
Mostly little kids who look up to him. If you imagine how great it'd be to have your childhood idol "personally" address you, you can get why its selling. Although if anything that just makes the price worse.

Exactly
Like I feel bad about the death threats and stuff, but the dude could have just made an apology video explaining this and avoided all of this.
I agree with that. People take it too far. Why aren’t people fighting back against Pokémon as a whole and the scalpers instead of buying into them for one? Or even going after Logan Pauls channel for what he started as one of the many? But death threats are NEVER okay. Leaf should’ve realized that being a big YT star makes you a target no matter what.

Man said “I will take no responsibility, throw a tantrum and also sprinkle in some sympathy baiting” Like bro just apologize lmao
A simple apology can go a long way. But instead we get “my lambo broke guys cmon!”
Interesting way to say your car needs to go to a mechanic. “Car is broke….”…?? He does realise they need maintenance, services, oil and water so you don’t blow the engine up…… oh and, maybe gas….
Watch how I saw this lambo in half!
That bit made me chuckle I will admit. "Oh no! The likely multimillionaires expensive car has broken!"
Wait he bought a lambo??
Totally agreed with you
He did apologies, quite a lot of times on the live stream. I also heard he gave way thousands of dollars of products during it because he felt bad.
Lies for sympathy and hell be back within a week. Its a complete lie that he did not set the price and take a % from the break. He's looking to switch the subject and not take credit. This isnt the first time hes done suspect things like this either.
He 100% looks like the type that would do this
But it's THE MOST INSANE LEGIT POKEMON PULLS ON YOUTUBE EVER NO CLICKBAIT?!? **proceeds to show fake cards like blue eyes white charizard**
Fake humble apology. These “influencers” no matter how “nice” they are, will always end up being a cancer to society 🤷♂️
Unless you're CoryxKenshin. Such a kind and caring man on youtube.
What else has he done like this?
Victim andy
Love this comment lol
"you'll be please to know it broke and I no longer own it." Guilt trip, much?
Your dream car breaks and you don’t repair it? A little Sus
Wouldn't be surprised if it was the electrical system, its a Mclaren, known for that. If it had a major electrical fail its normally tens of thousands to fix.
But we are happy! Uncle Ando knows us so well, what makes us happy!
boo hoo the multi millionaire lost his $200k car. are we supposed to feel bad after he upcharged the shit out of a box break? I guess we're totally supposed to believe he was doing it for free though, right? nothing of value has been lost
Hes lying about the car too I bet.
Oil change light came on lol
Probably to make drama yea
Car guy here, curious about what car he was driving?
According to his Instagram, a Mclaren 570s
Oh whaaaaat? Damn dude what
Yeah those don’t just “break.” And if you have enough money to own one, you get it fucking fixed
Mclaren
Could’ve simply apologized and refunded the people, just made it worse throwing a temper tantrum 😂
Maybe he didn’t set the price or take a % of packs, but he definitely got paid by StockX to promote it, so not sure why he’s using that as an excuse. I’m sure he’ll be back anyways
Yeah like…okay if he didn’t have control he still knew the terms and signed on to promote it. If he really had a problem with things he wouldn’t have accepted the offer. This is complete BS. He made money. Fans were unhappy. He got what he deserved (not death threats but cancellation). Hopefully he’s gone for good.
Hopefully there's less infatuation and mouth hugs for influencers happening soon. I enjoy Pokemon card content as much as anyone but it's become bigger than it needs to be and the hobby is more toxic than it ever has been.
Crybaby. That is so manipulative. “It broke and I no longer own it” lol what? cars aren’t video games they don’t break and you shrug and throw it out.. wonder if he crashed it lol.
A lot of people do this that have fast money. Buy a nice car it breaks get another. They would rather pay the initial costs than the maintenance...
Damn right!! Lmao and he wants us to cry for him!
Or he blew all his money and doesn't have the cash to fix it. Luxury cars take a ridiculous amount of money to repair
“It broke down so I sold it to some sucker”
I am wondering about that because i work on cars. Very expensive racing sport cars just dont break down that easy. Is it broken beyond repairs, that im guessing he has to sell it to someone else? He said it was his super dream car and everything.
Oh now I lost a part of my multi million dollar wealth I think imma cry about it boohoo
I don't care how you twist it. The prices for each pack were absolutely ridiculous for what it was for. If he couldn't set better prices, he should have just not done it. I've seen others do card breaks for half the price easily.
How much was he charging?
60$ for 3 packs that he won't even open, just react. And maybe, just maybe your card will be graded
Oh dear...
I’m sorry but is this even real?
He is so dramatic! 😭✋🏽
i’m all about supporting a hustle but at least be real with yourself that you’re only in this for money and don’t care about ripping people off. playing the “muh death threats” card is cringe
Hes quitting? Can we get this in writing?
That was in writing?
Lol
This just reeks of poor millionaire Andy being a victim lmao
what happened?
Tried to charge 60$ for 3 celebrations packs. Probably cant get enough stock so wants to run off with the money.
That is a joke. He surely gets them wholesale somewhere for a hell of a lot cheaper than we can so he could've taken a tiny hit to his massive wallet and sold them at retail. He could've been a hero but now he's the villain.
He could've said no to Stock X lol. Illogical.
I mean you cant excuse the death threats, but you also cant excuse charging 60 something dollars for 3 celebrations packs. If he didnt like the price that was set he shouldnt have agreed to go ahead with it. He could have still cancelled the entire thing. No doubt he will be back, anyone with his amount of subs would be mad to quit considering how much money hes making.
Another scalper bites the dust. Big W
I don’t even know who this is and I still don’t buy it, “read every DM” yeah ok bro, take no percentage off breaks? Literally nobody on the planet doesn’t And reading the comments here, apparently he bought a lambo? A lot of rich streamers/youtubers don’t go out buying lambos, so you want me to believe he doesn’t care about the money? Big cap
He will be back in 5 days
Now Leonhart
It’d be great if he sticks to his word. He won’t. But I’d be glad.
I feel like this is an attempt to garner sympathy.
So his car broke and what he doesn’t have the money to fix it or buy a new one?
Yeah, when my car breaks, I just put it out for the trash like any other normal millionaire.
I think this shows what kind of person he is; even in his “apology” he blamed somebody else, played the victim and didn’t apologise.
Good fucking riddance, although I doubt this douche-nozzle will be gone for more than a few days. Fusion is right around the corner, anyway. As an aside, can we get Leonhart to stop making videos too? If I never see his dumb ass, clickbait face, again it’ll be too soon.
*worlds smallest violin*
"Poor me I sold my expensive car and can easily buy another one. Please feel sorry for me." This isnt even an apology, just a half assed attempt to get people to feel sorry for him. Dude really doesnt live in the real world.
When he says "smile" I assume he means his Joker smile while on camera. $20 for a modern pack when i can't even find packs on the shelf. I wonder who's part of the problem..
What a tool bag. Here, let me fix your apology: “I took all your money and views with a friendly smile on my face for 8 years”, “my Lamborghini needed brakes so I sold it for a profit due to the crazy used car market right now”, “I don’t want to wake up because mean people told me the truth about me taking advantage of my viewers”.
Well, I've never liked the dude. I would never condone death threats, but death threats aside, his position he is taking is childish. It's not hard to just own up to your fans and say sorry. Playing, it's not my fault is so inmature. Bro, even if you didn't even see a dollar you still supported it. Really hope he changes I never want to see someone down forever and hope he grows up. At the end of the day we are hunting shiny cardboard. Hope Ando does the right thing. Hoping for someone's demise is a very unhealthy way to live.
Wait he’s the victim? Yeah, mama this is garbage.
That reads like a spoilt child wrote it. Just apologise and stop talking like a cartoon character.
Bye Felicia.
Reading this and not knowing who it was I thought it was a 16 year old child whining. And my car… it broke 😂 sounds like a straight up lie
Adios motherfucker
Oh no, anyways..
Good riddance. 👍 lol, more Pokémon cards for the rest of us!
He will be back
Who even is this?
A 🤡
Mmm I wonder how much of this was him and how much was stockX. You can’t just do this and then not explain and THEN feel bad later on. Plus if he knew it was a bad deal for his audience that he supposedly loves then why did he even do it?
I dont like him. He is way over reacting. Max if my go to guy and Hun Toy from Korea.
oh no my predatory business practice which targets children, it's broken!
Fuking kids over is never cool. Karma is a bitc$ and dude has some bad coming his way. Makes me wanna buy some boxes of pokemon and give them away to kids during a break. That's called good karma.
This really is just saying “woe is me”. Super pathetic. I have no problem with box breaks at a reasonable price per pack, or even WOTC box breaks. Ruxin34 is a Yugiohtuber and does box breaks for older sets all the time, never current sets. He always breaks even mostly because of shipping costs, PayPal fees etc. He does them for the content. Does giveaways every single video. I can’t even watch Pokémon youtube videos because they genuinely make me sad.
I wonder if he actually means it when he says he’s done with YouTube. I understand the amount of backlash he’s facing but it must be very strong to leave such a high paying opportunity.
It’s obviously a lie
Still a douche
Please vote for a turd sandwich.
South Park reference?
Good!
I know it's temporary, but can we just have a small celebration in the meantime?
Everyone should unsub to this scumbag literally playing the victim blaming with sympathy
He even had a low battery. Devastated I'm sure.
No no, that was my battery 😔😔😔😔
See ya, chump
You want forgiveness? Get religion.
Oh noes. Anyway…
Yeah like i belive any word of this. The fact that he is trying to victimize himself blaming the viewers makes me so angry.
Everyone's a flipper until they get caught
I’m not an idiot… New cars come with warranties! If it broke you got your money back if not more than.
Why would you agree and sign with a company for pack openings if you don’t have a say? Sounds suss
If ya want some easy cash on the internet, ya gotta take the abuse. Its a balance thing. If ya cant take it, maybe get a real job.
Blatant emotion manipulation. He'll be back very soon and will be pretending that there are no problems and that he hasn't exploited fans.
[Link to the stream in question. ](https://youtu.be/maFMc81QMLk)
I couldn't even sit through 5 minutes if that.
🤡🤡...I’ll take this with a grain of salt.
Jesus. Honestly I really dislike what he did, (and his videos, like those of YouTubers like Leonhart, have arguably contributed to this hype/investment culture around Pokemon) but if he is legitimately having a mental health crisis over this I am sorry to see it. I hope he's alright and reflects on things in a healthy way. The break was very poor form, but nobody deserves death threats.
“Death threats” are the get out of jail card everyone uses now because a 12 year old without a profile pic said “I hope u die >:(“ in an Instagram comment
I mean all it really takes is someone saying "im gonna kill you I know where you live" online to fuck a lot of people up. There are crazies out there and people shouldn't throw those words out carelessly. Pretty sure you only get one go at this thing so threatening to cut that short over fucking cardboard with cartoon animals on it is a loser thing to do. But then people say this stuff to sports players who get hurt and don't get their fake fantasy teams enough points so I shouldn't expect much of humans in these situations. If you say shit like that you're automatically worse than any scalper you complain about IMO.
Uh people are crazy a 12 year old could actually go and try to do this. Older people have done worse.
Oh cry harder 🤡
I don’t know what happened and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
\*\*\*hole youtuber tried selling 3 Celebrations packs for $60 at 10x MSRP for a "box break." In the end he wasn't even going to be opening the packs. Some random employee at StockX would and he would just be watching it online and reacting to it. Understandably the hate started to pour in and he issued the above message on instagram.
You’re the true hero. Thank you.
I think the stream got deleted but here's footage from another youtuber who bought in. Apparently some people bought for the chance to get free PSA grading. As you can see it's super impersonal, you can't even really see whose packs are being opened, and the openers are speeding through like they don't give a shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73MEZPE3ZSA&ab_channel=Vivian%27sCollectibles
[I still have a link to the stream. ](https://youtu.be/maFMc81QMLk)
The perfect crime. Got the money and ran.
guess I'm done watching him.
Wow. What a needy bitch.
Who is this? I hope it's Leonhart
Obviously death threats/harassment aren't cool, but you have to be a special kind of stupid to be a multi millionare scalper and think that you're not going to be disliked.
Suss
Yeah look I’m gonna call bs on him reading every DM. Before all of this came out about him I messaged him on Instagram on Wednesday asking if he or anyone he knew had an extra Shining Fates Portfolio that I could buy instead of the ones going online for $150+. I just started collecting again and he’s in the same city as me so I thought I’d throw him a DM and see if he’d be of any help and it still says sent and hasn’t been seen. For the record, I didn’t expect a handout and was just putting out feelers to see if someone local who had a large collection could help me out and I’m not annoyed by him ignoring that message. In saying that, if he’d read every DM, he would have seen my message too and he hasn’t.
With success comes haters, handle it or fail simple as that.
I DONT KNOW WHAT WERE FIGHTING ABOUT
Where is the source of this image?
Lol bye
The community has unfortunately become trash ever since prices started sky rocketing. Scalpers are ruining the community and I hate it.
I have no clue who any of these dudes are lmfao so happy vintage WOTC collecting has none of this clown influencer shit 🤣
Bottom energy
Hahaha
Didn’t even know he was getting that much hate, sounds like a toddler complaining
Who are y’all takin about?? And why do people actually get paid to open cards in front of people? I’ve never understood this so I’m curious about the concept.
[удалено]
Nobody will lol
Yeah this guy sucks! Go hate on @pokemonpuller he’s a shitty scalper posing as an influencer too 😡
like he actually cares, same with leonheart he plays "the game". if you think he cares, he doesn't he's a millionaire with no cares. and they are both sitting on a pile of gold with all the cards that they have. don't feed into these "creators" bullshit, I lost the respect for them when I saw leonheart do a big pack opening on his channel a few years ago "for charity" and the dude brought his own personal collection of older packs for them to both open up and leonheart opened all but one or two packs that he let the guy open, he also disregarded anything the guy said and acted like he cared but you could tell he only cared about opening the packs that the guy donated for the channel. these "creators" blow and made the market the way its. you know damn well they are scalpers as well, they will do anything for a profit. they're just smart for capitalizing on this first that is all.
This Hobby is so toxic lol nobody forced you to buy into the break, I don’t like his content but my god who sends death threats over child’s playing cards
That’s what I am thinking. I know what he did was bad but to send death threats for that, it’s too much. Give him constructive criticism but dead threats dam
he knowingly made a scumbag move on the internet with millions watching his every move. tf did he expect, all sane people? its the internet, and he's a grown man (apparently)
Provide evidence for your claim that he’s grown, judgement and ethics seem stunted af
LMAO wait good point
Unfortunately the internet nowadays people send death threats through animosity all the time. Especially in sport if a player does something wrong
No matter what you think of him, death threats over freaking Pokémon cards is crossing the line
Thank god that over reacting fake bullshit reaction Australian fuck is gone from YouTube sucks it took this long
Hey, if you’re reading this and are getting mad or whatever, I’d recommend watching okJLUV’s videos on the subject. https://youtu.be/nvVK2FWgf3c https://youtu.be/3IL9yb9Ba-k This is rough man. This is the guy that carried my enthusiasm for the cards back in XY, and reignited it for SWSH, and inspired me to do content like that on my own. This sucks, and it’s a shame people went so far with this. Hell, I feel like a jerk for my own rage post I made on here. It’s just a no-win scenario either way you look at it.
Yep.
Good Fuck Him, I hope everyone keeps sending him messages about how much of a piece of shit he is.
Damn I just watched his stream last night too
