Let's Start A Pokemon Business!! How Much Money Do We Need to Get Started?

[@chaselewis7747]

I love how appreciative he is about people giving his support.

[@danbigelow9529]

Yeah and it's crazy to see how people with almost only box breaks on their channel get more views. This guy talks about the real stuff

[@codyaustin869]

Agreed, so refreshing and comforting. Definitely keeps me coming back.

[@FantasyCelebrityWrestling]

Gets a little boring now!

[@Flowerpwr178]

Yep gave a like just for his sincerity

[@limitedavailability6394]

All these videos are so informative and detailed, can't really find deep dives like this anywhere else. Fingers crossed for a video on getting your cards graded, for both investors and collectors!

[@deanmorgan370]

You’re an amazing guy Danny, hearing about you talk about your family was nice. Sounds like you’re an amazing dad

[@eddieaguilar8959]

As a small business owner I can attest, Grind! Grind! Grind! And love what you do most importantly. because if your not having fun then why do it at the end of the day.

[@gabevelez694]

Dude.. you’re a stud! I’m 22 looking to get a bit of a side hustle going. Working a 9-5 is tough let alone finding time to also pursue passionate entrepreneurial endeavors. You are creating content while running a side business and working a 9-5!! Keep up the good work man I’m subscribed and rooting for you!

[@nielsbeelen7546]

Should have bought crypto instead , 3 years ago jeeeez uv could have been financial free like me🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼 pokemon is trash for gains lol

[@sealscards]

Can't believe I have only just found this. I started my Pokemon business last year and these tips have already been so helpful! 😍

[@gamerryanl5937]

I check your shop seal!

[@sealscards]

@@gamerryanl5937 Thank you so much my friend!

[@reaganwitten2272]

You have such great knowledge about how to run a business. I’ve never heard a person in this type of business going this deep into the mechanisms of the economics behind it. You clearly know what it takes to be successful in this business and it seems like it has paid off immensely. The part that is most encouraging is that you aren’t afraid to share this information with others trying to get into the game. Stay on your grind bro. These videos are amazing.

[@kieranrankie203]

I appreciate the fact you actually give good advice and educate people, instead of just showing off your expensive cards.

[@KindWanderer94]

Hey man, I really enjoy your videos and they inspire me to give this a shot. There is so much to it behind the scenes im sure, it would be great if you made a "day in the life of a tcg seller" or something like that, vlog style video just going through the mundane things that you dont normally see that goes on behind the scenes.

[@pokemaniacdavid]

I really want to run my own card shop, or just manage one for someone. I hate what I do for a living, it’s pretty decent money but it’s soulless. I love Pokémon and anything to do with it and I’m ready to make the leap. Thanks for your information and knowledge. I appreciate it a lot

[@WishlistCollectables]

10% every two weeks is tough, to do that you have to take it seriously as a business. I've been doing it on and off for a few years and the hardest part is sticking to it and also not getting high on your own supply :)

[@vladis4]

thats how I lost half of my hidden fates booster packs..

[@weibiaozheng209]

The only complaint I have is that you don't make enough videos for me to watch, keeps up the good work, love all these informative videos 👍

[@hawkeye3dprinting845]

I came here to learn how to break Pokémon decks for viewers. Subbed after the first minute. To hear how appreciative you are, and how you care for your family earns a sub in my book.

[@jh7539]

This is an excellent video for anyone trying to start a business, period, not just Pokemon. Tons of practical and valuable advice in here. You earned a subscriber here, Danny.

[@alyssac5130]

All of these videos are so helpful! I have so many cards and I only actually care about a few. This has helped me out so much with selling those unwanted cards!

[@zandgemporium]

[@jeremytal6361]

You're videos are phenomenal, no fluff, no overselling/over production. Just pure nuanced information from an experienced viewpoint. Keep killing it from a new fan!

[@yangsue07]

I've subscribed to you within the past year, but this is the first time I'm just seeing this video. I totally agree that using money from the business to build a collection will not work well. I stopped doing that and now I am able to actually see more income. Now I'm going through and watching all your old videos. Thanks for the info!

[@LE1Dreamer]

One thing is to make it in life! But to turn around and try to help others!!!🙌🙌🙌👏👏 mad respect bro!

[@redhawg]

This helped so much. It really just starts with buying low and selling it back higher!

[@Realletsplaygrey]

I want to start selling packs, but i Have NO clue how to start buying from distros so I can actually profit. Also congrats on 50k, ive been watching you since last year.

[@B1LL01]

I have no plans on buying any Pokémon cards but you are so genuine I just come to like the video for the algorithm

[@maine-ly]

I absolutely love the amount of honesty in your videos is refreshing. Brutally honesty is a really good quality 👍

[@nevildon6224]

Address To ALL: I'm a total complete beginner, I'm kinda confused by this video in that when he mentions let's say $100 to start off with right? this $100 what is it that I buy? singles? or booster boxes? or ??? please clarify for someone like me who wants to start off. thank you

[@rogerroque9652]

Appreciate everything you do for the pokemon community, can't believe you are so down to earth! Really enjoy the advice you give! I can't wait to be able to run my own shop or just sell cards

Hey man, 20 year old in college here, really appreciate the great info went into this with a business mindset and got lost in the collecting side of things, by breaking it down you really helped re adjust my mindset back to where it was, hopefully a year or two from now I can come back here and show you that I did well. Once again thank you!

[@daltonf6016]

Just started watching your videos tonight and you're doing great! Long time collector and competitive player. I can relate heavily with having to sell your collection for a down payment on a home (did that a couple years ago myself) and with how ridiculous the Pokemon market is right now I just have to take my hobby to the next level. What I've watched so far gives me a ton of insight and it's greatly appreciated. Really look forward to your future videos. Keep it up!

[@connorthompson376]

This is by far the most helpful starters guide I’ve watched so far. I’m really wanting to invest and I’ve got a good chunk of extra change I want to pour into this, I just don’t know where to even start! Great video!

Hi Danny. I don't plan on making Pokemon a business, but I just wanted to say I'm really enjoying your videos all the same. You seem very genuine, very knowledgable, and very humble. Keep up the great work, I always love seeing your videos pop up on my timeline!

[@trevychase7842]

I recently started my Pokémon store. I’ve pulled a Rainbow Zard and your comment about moving product rather than holding it really struck a cord with me. I’ve intended to sell my Charizard, but didn’t know if I should grade it first or just go and list it? Keep up the great videos!! Thank you!

Great of you to share your insights and experience, and to give back to the Pokemon community!

[@turnbucklechatter]

Currently I'm flipping PSA cards, working my way up to getting boxes, got a $450 base holo blastoise for $83. Woot

[@TrainerDLYellow]

Thank you for emphasizing how this is a grind, not a get-rich-quick scheme.

[@MinecraftAndChill]

I’m assuming you probably already have a video on this but what about sealed products? You talk a lot about focusing on single cards in this video so when it comes to things like champions paths etb’s would you recommend opening them to sell the potential hits or sitting on the boxes as they themselves seem to rise quite quickly in price? Thanks for the video!

[@handsomelittleguy6098]

Just took a gamble on a psa 6 base set 2 charizard that I got for $120. It may not seem like much but it was a huge plunge for me. Hoping this side hustle goes somewhere for me

WoW! Those eleven minutes just flew!

[@lukehancock91]

This was awesome and super helpful. Been a player for ages but, just realising I have a ton of stuff that I don't use in my decks, so I wouldn't mind crossing that line into both player and seller

[@Kangasconrad]

Great advice in a relatively short video. I still have my base set holos after 20 years. Just started getting back into buying cards and having fun opening new things.

[@Hyperbolestore]

I was able to buy 6 cases of evolutions boosters at 1K / case last month. I was pleasantly surprised to see these hit 3K / case yesterday. There’s still a lot of ceiling left on this set in my opinion based on the vintage nostalgia. Wouldn’t be surprised if the evolutions booster set hits $750-$800 / box end of year. Point of the story is that there are tons of opportunities now in Pokémon. If your brand new into investing I wouldn’t just jump in and go all in. You need to do a lot of research and understand why trends are happening before investing into cards. You gave some great advice for everyone. I wish you the best in your pursuit! I’ve seen you’ve been on some great momentum lately with views and subscriber count. I know it may seem crazy, but try and do a video every day now since the market is so hot 🥵. Great thing is you’re not doing a ton of editing so your setup and production time is efficient. Your information, consistently and passion is helping you grow. Keep it up man! I went through the grind myself back in the day. Now I just buy/sell/trade. Just remember one thing “gotta catch them all”

[@silentpulls4398]

Great series on this subject! I’m actually in the process of doing this! Very excited to be able to start.

[@javiersoberanis9718]

Tha k you so much for this! Getting started is the hardest part and it’s the most difficult to diversify and especially let go of an investment after getting attached to it. I’ve only been buying and even the product I intend to sell I’ve just kept. Starting is the hardest part for me

[@minimachomudkip6017]

1 year later still great advice, looking to make a living off of something I’ve cherished for years. Respect the advice with how many competitors there are.

[@NotTellingYou-]

I started selling MTG back in August and I started really well but I put most of what I’ve back into the business to buy supplies and some more boxes of cards. Now it’s slowed down and I’m not selling many cards. Only a few cents worth of cards each week. Although I do need to put in the time to list more of my inventory. I just work a lot… I’m not looking to make it big but I wouldn’t mind being able to go full time and have to work for someone else anymore.

[@veil327]

Saw a video about Weiß schwarz cards and thought about what if I sell cards for extra income as a college student since I felt like I can't work in shops. I decided to start in Pokemon because it is the most affordable one for me. Brought a repack of 100+ random cards for 4 dollars and planned to repack them like booster packs so 10 cards each pack and sell them for 2 dollars per pack. I will also introduce these repacks to some hobby stores near me if they would like to buy my product. And also while unpacking booster packs or boxes, I will Livestream them or make videos unpacking them to also earn from KZbin. I hope it goes well

[@A_Never_Me_Wez]

This guy is going to get 100k subs so quickly. This channel is amazing

[@portalmasterry6765]

Listen to this video carefully and watch it a few times. The part where he is trying to tell you that you should not get attached to the product is key to making money in TCG. You won't make a ton of money if it's all going to a collection. If you are focused on making a profit and closing that sale then you can make more or the same money similar to sitting on cards for a long time. It's hard work. I know because I used to run a small online store selling cards but it's honest and consistent work and the profit is steady. Don't expect huge returns but the profit is exponential as you build inventory.

[@kizdawizthedon2370]

Thank you for all of this Danny you could be keeping this all to yourself and profit off it, but thank you for taking the time to not only run your business and fuel your passion but to help us do the same things to the best of our abilities I really really appreciate you and everything you do for the Pokemon movement your friend, Kyle
