Q: Assuming rarity is a factor in value….will there ever be any investment attention given to Japanese VS as it’s, to my knowledge, the only set that only saw a JP run?

Thank you for answering my question! I'll just be persistent! I didn't know about ebay emailing you for saved searches. I'd tried to post in Facebook groups and I had more bot accounts hit me up than copies of the card that exist. Glad you had fun on the trip and got more networking. I feel like you are a rare mention for how big your channel is. I hear plenty of mentions on Rudy, Nostalgia, Danny, Rev, Vault, CTR. It's time to acknowledge the beard! Keep it up your community first approach while having to spend nothing on items to bring people in really shows the fan in you.

[Repeat question] Do you think its worth investing in SIR's, IRs and alt arts that complete a set? Thinking of getting gouging fire, Pidgy OBSF trio and 151 venusaur since down the road people will most likely seek them out for collecting since they belong to an art set

Hey man, even though you didn’t use my personal question you did answered it about master sets , being new to the hobby sorta , was a collector as a kid but getting back into it , it’s hard to not collect them all ! Thanks for your videos very informative. I still love cracking packs tho to get the next biggest thing. Thanks again for the great content , can’t wait for the vintage Thursday !

Pokemon 151 got me to dabble into collecting. I bought a sealed case of 10 booster bundles for 600cad and going to just sit on them. Also tempted to buy a PSA10 alternate art charizard. Going forward if I can find good deals I’ll just focus on buying ETBs when I can. I just think it’s an amazing set and taps that nostalgia of the boomers that started it all.

I heard Mega evolutions might come back. And I saw Team Rocket might get another set. Do you think it would be as cool as I do if they made a Dark Mega Evolutions Team Rocket set? I'm imagining a Dark Mega Dragonite EX card and I'm smiling. THAT would be the "Glory Of Team Rocket"

Hey what's up bro. I saw you answered my question on the last WIW. I was referring to the popular Pokemon Poker Cards as far as Gengar Mewtwo Pikachu ect they sell in the hundreds. Especially the Charizard it sells almost at 1k. If they are selling for this much now even tho people really don't know about them. Maybe they sell for higher in the future when they get more popular? So potentially a good idea to but the good ones right now?
Aloha from Hawaii! Absolutely love your videos! Say I’m at a card show and I need to pull up prices quick.. Whats the best way/place to find prices for English and Japanese??

Great question. This might be in next week's video.
If they reprint paldea evolved, do you think they will update the pull rates to match the more recent sets and make the SAR and gold cards much harder to pull? How much do you think this will effect prices of those top tier cards ? Note: IR cards have been about 1/12 packs every set, so this update wouldn’t make it harder to pull the magikarp and tyranitar. But the iono, chien pao and new starter evolutions would be much harder.

idk if this helps but you can cross grade your sgc cards to psa and just tell them to only crack it out of the case if its a psa 10 that way you dont have to worry about losing your 9.5 grade. I've done this a couple of time and they have came back psa 10 and idk if that is because psa bought sgc so they are more confident in there grade being worth it but yea just my knowledge and exp in the matter.

Hi PokeBeard. New 30 year old collector here getting back into it for nostalgia and investment purposes. What would you recommend for a stopping point in ripping booster packs before you start buying singles in a set? I am not trying to complete the set. For example, I loved Fusion Strike chase cards, opened 44 packs and did not get any of the Mews, Celebi or Gengars. I then started buying some individually. Thanks!

I think this is an uncommon opinion but regular binders are out dated. When you can get top loader binders for $20-$40 there is no reason to put cards over $100 in a regular binder. You’re just going to screw yourself for value in the future. Same thing we did as kids. Why wouldn’t you take the extra step to protect your cards? Master set? Put it in a toploader binder. Why risk whitening and damaging your cards you spent $1000s on over $40 max. Just silly. I strongly disagree with regular binders. Think they are a terrible practice.
@PokeBeardTCG
Ай бұрын
If you're talking about 3 ring binders, then yes, but not the good binders. If you get good sleeves, they will not get damaged at all. I literally graded so many of my cards that were in good binders for years and got so many 10s. I have like 40 sets complete. I can fit multiple sets in 1 binder. The amount of money I would spend on top loaders and extra binders would be pointless. Especially cuz I doubt every card you're putting in those is a 10.
