charizard fans like my comment:)

[@Witkomon]

Okay!

[@TheMr_Requiem]

Another upload from the legend 💪🏾. These custom sleeves look so cool, and I love the customisation options you have. I think that charizard looks amazing bro. Keep up the great work👍🏾. Btw it sounded like you had a cold. If you do I hope you get better 😄

[@Witkomon]

Ahhhh, another *comment* from the Legend! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, awesome to see you here as always! I'm pretty happy with the way the sleeves turned out as well, I think the base throwback is cool! Although, now I'm missing a Venusaur from the set, lol! Maybe I'll have to make another one! I'm not sick, lol, but thanks for your concern! I did get a new mic recently actually, so I think that's what you're hearing! I'm still learning it, and you're right, it's definitely not perfect! Could use a little extra base, maybe the compressor is a little heavy too, I'll look into it! I never really realized it before, so thank you actually! I've been listening to this over and over while it's editing, so it's hard to pick up on these things

[@TheMr_Requiem]

@@Witkomon no problem, glad I could help 👍🏾

Your hands down one of the best KZbinrs I just feel bad not a lot of people found your channel and subed 😊.

[@Witkomon]

Aww, thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind comment, and I'm really glad you like the videos :) Maybe one day we'll reach 100,000, maybe even 1,000,000, but for now 20,000 is a pretty darn large number!

A rework of one of your old projects, this one turned out just as great!

[@Witkomon]

Hey Sparkist! Glad to see you here, and thanks a lot for people so early! I’m really glad you enjoyed it, and yes, this is a re-make of one of my older videos! I have a big project planned soon, and I wanted to use this to test some new editing and filming technique! I’m really happy with it though!

[@evannamanku]

i see u remaking some of ur older vids! like the how to make ur own booster pack! Very nice and happy cuz ur art improved so much :D

[@Witkomon]

Yes I am! That's awesome that you noticed! I figured now that my video skills have improved a bit, some of those older ideas need a bit of a remake! Thank you so much for the kind comment, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and the art :D

Next, I want to see you make a tutorial on how to make a small and medium binder tutorial

[@Witkomon]

Ah, that's a good idea! Maybe kind of like a large-scale version of this video? I'll look into it!

[@Poke_Sage]

@@Witkomon yeah but you put 4 in one page to make a binder or if not, just do one.

[@Witkomon]

Ah! I didn't think of that actually! I was thinking a 9 page binder, but something like a mini binder would probably be a lot better actually! I like that! I'll note it down for a future video!

[@Poke_Sage]

@@Witkomon you should make a 9 page one, it’s up to you to decide.

[@warhead9095]

Witkomon, is vstar mawile a really good card?if so,what would it be on a scale 1-10? Nice work btw

[@warhead9095]

And it has a silver star and it's stage 1 and it's 2022 and a foil card

[@Witkomon]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, that's definitely a good card! It's an ultra rare, and a pretty nice one too! Unfortunately not worth that much though, you're looking at around $5, so on a scale of 1-10, 1 being a regular common, and 10 being a base set Charizard, you're probably looking at a 5! Not bad!

[@warhead9095]

@@Witkomon Thanks I really appreciate how you answer all our comments and questions! Which one is better mawile vstar or full pic shadow rider basic calyrexV foil ?

[@Witkomon]

No problem! I’m happy to help :D I actually made a video on Pokémon card rarity recently, maybe this will help: How to Find if Your Pokémon Cards Are RARE or EXPENSIVE! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGiwfHyBhbKoapY But in short, a standard V, VMAX, or VStar (such as your Mawile) are the “lowest tier” of super rare cards. Still rare cards, but there are definitely more rare. If you watch the video, these are equivalent to a double rare. Your Calyrex V, being a full art, would be the next tier after that. In the video, equivalent to a double white star, ultra rare. Although, this Calyrex could be a lot more rare, depending on the cad! Already as a full art, it’s quite desirable. You’re definitely looking at at least, closer to $10-$20, but it could be more. There are “alternate art” Calyrex cards, which in the video would be equivalent to the double gold star, special illustration rare. These cam fetch closer to $50-$100!

How much is the penny full art illustration rare worth my brother has that and my other brother has the klawf illustration rare full art how much are they worth?

[@Witkomon]

@Scott Anderson There are a couple different versions of Penny actually, so I'm not exactly sure. Though, most hits in the Scarlet and Violet set (where those are from), are worth about $5-$10. Actually, I recently made a video on exactly that! I'll link it here, you can find out for yourself, and for all your cards: How to Find if Your Pokemon Cards are RARE or EXPENSIVE! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGiwfHyBhbKoapY

[@dracolegend7739]

Out of the three starters, I will say Venusaur. Mostly because I have a small collection of Venusaur cards including a base set holo. Most of these cards I found were just by pulling from packs so he just sorta became my favorite.

[@Witkomon]

Solid choice! I love Venusaur too! I named mine Caesar when I played red and blue haha! And actually, Primal Groudon became one of my favorites, and is somewhat of a mascot, only because it was the first card I pulled when I started collecting again! Lol!

[@dracolegend7739]

@@Witkomon Nice! I’ve never played the original games, I started around a year after X and Y came out.

[@Witkomon]

Don't worry, I'm not that old, lol! I started with Soul Silver, and got back into the games with ORAS. I got really into it though, and tried to play all the games from earlier... On en emulator of course though lol, some of those games are crazy expensive! (For legal reasons I owned them all before emulating them haha)

[@squid2ink2004]

[@squid2ink2004]

[@Manuel-hv9gk]

Charizard EX

[@alyssert1743]

Hey, this is pretty neat! I’ve tried making sleeves before, but I didn’t really trust them with my valuable cards. One thing I’ve learned for that is the smaller plastic bags don’t work as well since the texture on them is a bit more “clingy” and isn’t very good for sleeves. it still works, but if you want to protect your more valuable cards I’d use the bigger ziploc bags. Awesome tutorial bye the way and I love the calm vibe of the channel. keep it up!

[@Witkomon]

Thank you so much! Actually, the "calm" vibe is something that I've been going for a lot more recently. I've tried to do the more upbeat "hyper KZbinr" type personality, but honestly that's just not me! I'm naturally kind of calm, so I'm really glad you enjoy that! And yes, you're exactly right about the plastic bags. Smaller ones definitely work, but freezer bags or other lathe bags are definitely the best---the strongest. That's what I used in the video!
