Twitch streamer Papaplatte has been part of the television personality Klaas Heufer-Umlauf’s program several times. But in his latest show, the streamer had to witness the host starting a truly frustrating act.
What exactly did Klaas do? In the latest episode of Klaas Heufer-Umlauf’s show “Expert for Everything”, Klaas created a kind of imitation of the ZDF show “Bares für Rares”, in which recently caused a similar rarity to amaze.
In Klaas’ version, “Bares Ferraris”, he asks himself and the audience: “Will Klaas buy your junk?”
The first “junk” that is presented is an old booster pack of the Pokémon trading card game from 1999 with a PSA grading of 10, valued at around 250-350 euros on eBay. The PSA grading is a process that professionally assesses the quality and corresponding value of trading cards. A grading of 10 is the best possible condition.
Klaas, who seems to admit that he has no idea about any of this, then calls Papaplatte, as he knows a bit better about the topic than the host. After all, he spent several thousand euros opening Pokémon packs with Trymacs one weekend a few years ago.
But what follows shocks not only the audience. Because Klaas destroys the entire value of the pack within seconds.

What is the reaction to this action? While Klaas is in a relaxed conversation with the streamer, he calmly tears open the booster pack to look at the cards inside. The audience is shocked, partly burying their faces in their hands. Papaplatte also cannot comprehend what he is witnessing on the phone monitor.
“I thought it was about the cards,” says Klaas, after a staff member informs him of what he has just done and that it’s about the pack. “I don’t even know what kind of crap cards are in there if I don’t open it!”
How does Papaplatte react to the destroyed pack? When Klaas asks the streamer if the staff member is right, he has to agree. However, he mainly wants to see the plastic packaging displaying the PSA grading.
When he is informed that it really was a PSA-10 grading, the streamer also has to facepalm.
“They cost around 100 to 200 euros when they are sealed,” explains the streamer, downplaying the actual value if it is a real pack with this grading, “but not anymore.”
Here you can watch the video that was uploaded on the YouTube channel of “Expert for Everything”:
The “seller” is only paid 100 euros and seems quite relaxed and amused for the situation. For this reason, a significant majority of people in the comments under the YouTube video of the show suspect that it was a staged situation. Staged or not, the old booster pack from the 90s was still destroyed.
In the real version of “Bares für Rares”, a Pokémon fan presented two rare promo boxes from Japan that could reach a four-figure value according to the expert’s estimate. And although the show’s host Horst Lichter has seen some valuable rarities, it was hardly discernible whether he was shocked or impressed: Pokémon trading cards reach a four-figure value on Bares für Rares, which especially amazes Horst Lichter
