This Mistake is Costing Pokemon Collectors THOUSANDS! 💰💰💰

Ойын-сауық

Collecting and investing in Pokemon cards can be easy, or it can be hard (and VERY expensive). In this video, I explore something I've learned as a business owner and entrepreneur that I've now incorporated into my collection, and it's already saved me loads of money, and perhaps it can help you, too.
WATCH NEXT: 💥Another Mistake Costing Pokemon Collectors THOUSANDS: • Another Mistake Costin...
Of course, it's up to you to make the right decisions as far as what you spend your money on. This is not investment advice, but rather just an open look at how I'm approaching my new collection and the hobby in general, so that you can see how one guy is doing it, and make smarter, more calculated decisions moving forward.
In the video, I ask you to leave a comment below about the TYPE of collection you're building, if you have one. If not, then maybe it's time to consider focusing your collection, and your wallet.
Thanks again for the support of the new channel, it's been amazing, and a big shout out to two people who have recently interviewed me here on KZread. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, philosophy and background, check out one of the interviews below!

I love opening packs because if I narrow my self down to only caring about chase cards or gold cards then I miss the chance to appreciate the artworks on all the cards including commons.

    Yeah my middle ground for that is getting a handful of packs, and if I don't pull the card I specifically want by then, then instead of spending loads more on even more packs in the hopes I get it, I just buy it separate. That way I get to pull a bunch of commons/uncommons from the set and enjoy the mystery of opening the packs but don't open way more than I should lol and if I pull other super cool rares from the set along the way then it's even more exciting

    The beauty of sealed products are, you can have two packs, one with junk cards in it, one with the most valuable card in it (let’s say PSA 10 base set charizard,) and BOTH packs have the same exact value, because they’re sealed. I’ve just begun collecting again and I haven’t opened a single pack yet. I figured over time it will all be worth more than what I paid for it for sure. And I like sealed stuff personally.

    I know this is an older video, but your opening really made me feel good about my collecting as I just started again this weekend. I'm starting an ArtistDex instead of trying to get everything (though that would be cool too). So I plan on purchasing promotional boxes instead of loose packs to get special cards that I know I don't have and then having fun with what comes in the box itself. I have 89 Illustrators in my current binder and my first major focus has been Saya Tsuruta as I love her style and its been so fun just hunting for her art in bulk bins at shops and looking forward to the next pull. Thanks for what you do as your content has always been enjoyable and you put so much back into communities.

    My collection is not about the money it’s about the nostalgia. I grew up with the base set but fell out of the card collection and more into the games. With all these awesome moderne sets comming out I love to grab a booster box and get as many card out of a set as I can doing pack battles with my wife. I love holding on to one of each pack art from each set we open and I love the chase for all the new shines!

    "Riches in the niches" is a great way to collect! There are a lot of collectors that only really collect based off value (nothing wrong with that), but I feel more comfortable just buying the stuff I like. A niche I got into is collecting the Misprint No Symbol version of Flareon from Jungle. I want to eventually have binders full of just that one card.

    What he's saying is right & of course it feels *great* when you've saved up/finally found & managed to procure that certain card/item. _But.._ There's just *nothing* like that feeling you get when *pulling* that special card. Be it the chase card from a new set; a surprise that you haven't seen before but you love the look of; a playable/tactical monster, etc. It's a feeling that I just wouldn't trade for the safety of _only_ buying singles. That feeling takes me back to being 12, ripping base set & team rocket & the excitement & pure joy of when I pulled something interesting.

    Absolutely love your videos! Your content is a lot more down to earth and feel more meaningful! Thank you for being the person and content provider you are! My daughter got me into Pokémon a year ago and we mostly go based on our favourite Pokémon when collecting, hers being scorbunny and the eeveelutions and mine being the squirtle evolution line.

    I'm still new to collecting, so I have yet to find my niche. But I think I am starting to figure it out. It brings me joy when I find vintage cards in a mystery pack, and give them a place where they can stand the test of time for just a bit longer. Pulling cards from the Luxray, Floatzel, Tinkaton, Banette and Lopunny lines also make me happy, since they are some of my favorite pokemons. And I also enjoy cards with artwork I find beautiful. So, my niche is still very broad.

    I've been getting really into your videos recently. I love all of them so far. I used to collect just everything I got from packs. I had so many in binders, but I realized I didn't need them all. Since then I only collect Gen 1 or Kanto Pokemon cards, and Eevee and evolutions. I keep some of the full arts I pull that don't match when I like the art. I trying to sell my bulk on marketplace specifically for kids who want to play or start collecting because I live in a small town. The only place you can find cards here is GameStop, and they barely have any. Thanks for your advice!
