Wow, what a good video, you got yourself a new subscriber! I have so much bulk sitting around that I was planning to bring a an LGS, but I'm absolutely going to use your advice. It would have never occurred to me to buy the few bulk cards I'm missing to complete a master set to then sell as a full master set.

[@NonedarkTCG]

Appreciate you!!! Happy to hear I could help out in whatever way possible…enjoy making money from your bulk 😊

[@chanceswanson4318]

Ive sold my bulk to hobby stores. Theres a McKays here in nashville and they gave me $175 for about 4,000 non holo bulk. However they only offer store credit but it works for me cause they have great stuff there

[@NonedarkTCG]

Wow that’s dope…I’d take that all day since $45 per thousand cards isn’t awful

[@echo_ball]

I just recently got back into pokemon TCG and this is fantastic advice, especially since I'm starting over from scratch after 20ish years, I can form good habits with my bulk instead of tossing everything in a pile like I did as a kid

[@NonedarkTCG]

Happy I could help!! Welcome back to the hobby…good luck with your pulls!

[@PokeActivity]

Bro you just got me out of my bed after work to start organizing my bulk and saved me so much money! Idk why I never thought about this but thanks dude! You just earned a sub! Love the content! 🙌🔥

[@NonedarkTCG]

Really happy to hear this and glad it motivated you to organize your bulk…thank you so much for the nice comment 👍🏼

[@ganjjabarsmedium2347]

Great advice, it totally makes sense to try and make master base sets out of your bulk! Thank you for the great video 🤘

[@NonedarkTCG]

Glad it was helpful, you bet!!!!

[@jimwillysjabber3011]

Great advice. Just had your channel pop in my stream. Very glad.

[@NonedarkTCG]

Happy to hear it!!! Thanks for the nice comment!

[@rogu3inst1nct]

This has been the most helpful this I have found on YT about bulk cards! You're a life saver!!

[@NonedarkTCG]

Thank you sooo much!!! Very nice comment and I’m so glad I could help 😊

[@Thors_PokePacks]

That is such great advice. I have not sold any of my bulk but it is all in sets. And that has been my plan to do with them all.

[@NonedarkTCG]

Yeah it really works! Good luck selling them let me know how it goes

[@richlosee6483]

This is the best video I have seen for bulk Pokemon ever!💯incredible! Thanks.

[@NonedarkTCG]

Wow thank you!! That’s a very nice compliment I appreciate the comment 🙏🏼

[@leewood6388]

New subscriber! Great info! Definitely watched til the end and I'm going to start making a 151 common/base set and go from there. Just recently started selling some comic books on ebay and a 151 booster bundle. 151 bulk is next! Thank you for the idea and game plan. 😊😊😊

[@NonedarkTCG]

You’re most welcome!!! Thanks for the comment and sub, and I wish you luck in selling your bulk 151 🎉

[@CNT_farmer]

Dude I loved this idea! I current sort every card by set and type like you. Now all I need to do is put them in a box or a binder. Thanks for sharing

[@NonedarkTCG]

Glad I could help, thanks for the comment! Good luck putting everything together and selling!

[@jmpopa]

Solid advice thanks!

[@NonedarkTCG]

You bet!

[@ArthurGoodness]

Subbed. This was a greatly detailed video. Loved it.

[@NonedarkTCG]

Thanks for the sub! Appreciate you!!!

[@NAVI7x]

First time running into your channel and what a GREAT video. Keep it up.

[@NonedarkTCG]

Appreciate it a lot, thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@brettly3924]

Thanks for this reinforcement, I've been doing this for all the vintage sets and 151 with all the exs and binder for $200 AUD, but I can see there's value now for doing all modern sets as well. Cheers

[@NonedarkTCG]

You’re welcome, happy to reinforce 😊. Good on you to already be doing this…best of luck selling stuff going forward!

[@AnthonyThaKingOfficial]

Thanks I'm happy to hear your way of getting rid of your bulk me personally I can't sell any vintage till it spikes again 🎉😮

[@NonedarkTCG]

How long do you think until it does again?

[@ShadowTheRebel]

amazing video really put me on to something for sure.

[@NonedarkTCG]

Glad I could help!!! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@chanceswanson4318]

Great advice man 👍

[@NonedarkTCG]

Appreciate it!

[@PokeFamCollectors]

This is actually a really good idea you are gonna need a lot of bulk but definitely a great idea

[@timothyblack4333]

The amount of care you have is admirable

[@NonedarkTCG]

Thank you, that means a lot!!!

[@SamJune2423]

Genius ! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@NonedarkTCG]

Thank you!!!!

[@sinnohcartel]

THANKS 4 THE INFO!

[@NonedarkTCG]

No problem!

[@NonedarkTCG]

Absolutely!!!

[@Winters1250]

Got a new sub out of me great info. Thanks for the ideas

[@NonedarkTCG]

Thank you so much!!! You’re very welcome

[@imtakiny0c00kies7]

This was great advice. I already have everything sorted and just need to make some base master sets. Curious what you do with the code cards as well.

[@NonedarkTCG]

Code cards can be sold in super large stacks, but that’s something I could use more advice on too

[@louiepikmin3184]

Derium's used to have really solid prices for bulk a few years ago. I traded in around 2000 cards (Ranging from commons to holos for the most part) and got around $100. It's definitely not as good as your method, but it was nice money for little effort. But their prices are way lower now, probably like a third of the price compared to when I did it about 3 years ago

[@NonedarkTCG]

Wow, for that price I probably would’ve done what you did. That’s better than most places! Appreciate the comment

[@j0se925]

All my bulk is mixed sets 😅

[@blainegarcia7240]

What are your favorite boxes and dividers to use for this? I understand using the UPC or ETB boxes, but I ran out of room lol..

[@jankomeisel9568]

i sell them as pokedexes

[@jamesfischer6809]

great idea 🤔 but,what is somebody doesn't need a entire set ❓or shipping and handling ❓you also need a lot of cards.where do you get that much bulk of vintage

[@NonedarkTCG]

Good comment!! You either have to commit to selling it as a master set or breaking it apart for a bunch of buyers. Shipping and handling I work into the cost but can usually ship them out for under $10. I got all my vintage bulk from people’s old binders and shoeboxes from their childhood collections. Usually buying peoples collections for a discount can give you quite a bit of old “bulk” that’s fun to sort through

[@Kitsumari]

Hey so when you do your base master set of 151 with reverse holo and holo, did that include those ex cards like charizard, arbok, wigglytuff etc?

[@NonedarkTCG]

Yes it did! I like to make sure those are in there since they are a part of the 165 cards

[@SaltyMagikarp]

anybody can tell me where that giant etb box @9:40 is from?

[@NonedarkTCG]

Ultra Pro Pokémon First Partner Accessory Bundle

[@PokeTubin]

🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@jamesgardner1825]

So in these master bassets, that you put together, do they exclude ultra rares, full arts, regular ex and all that? just the regular commons, uncommon rares and hollow rares?

[@NonedarkTCG]

Yes, most often. The two exceptions are when I include the following: reverse holos (hardest to do) and standard ex cards. Both add value to the master set sale, but can only occur about one out of every four master base sets

[@jamesgardner1825]

@@NonedarkTCG cool thank you for the tips

[@peterpfankuchen]

So if I am missing a few cards of a base set, do I have to buy the missing ones to complete it before selling it?

[@NonedarkTCG]

You don’t have to, but it’s certainly more enticing to a buyer to say “total base master set” vs. “95% of base master set” or “156/165 of base master set”. I’d grab the few remaining singles for cheap and then sell the total set

[@Sugafr33]

i dont have much s&v bulk besides some 151. im currently sorting through swsh bulk pulling the energies, holos,rares,reverse holos. i went through about 15 thousand boxed in 3,200 count boxes. i have no idea what to do with it

[@NonedarkTCG]

That’s so many cards!!! I would just find a way to put them into piles that make sense and then determine your goal for them…selling vs. sorting and keeping vs. trading in, etc. and then think what that buyer would prefer or be enticed by!

[@minitoesensei]

So I’m confused. Like in 151, how far would the master set go? Would you stop at 165/165? And does that include every single reverse holo and holo? Or what does a normal master set contain?

[@NonedarkTCG]

There are tiers of master sets…a base set one would be 165/165, not including reverse holo variants. A base set reverse master set would include those. A full master set would also include all of the hits and promos, and would be worth a LOT more

[@tdudethetrain]

@@NonedarkTCGhi. I literally just started collecting again like 2 days ago. So. I’m definitely thinking about doing this my self. But I’m still a little confused on the whole master set thing. Base set just includes 1-whatever amount there is in a set. Would that include the EXs In the base sets? Or only in the holo and reverse holo set. And I’m still confused on the reverse holo set. Is there a website I could refer to for these sets because I’m probably confusing you the way I’m writing this lol. Either way you got a new sub.

[@xxstudentkaxx]

I actually really like sorting cards :D if someone need help let me know :D

[@NonedarkTCG]

I totally agree, very therapeutic and fun

[@eco8gator]

Most folks don't open as much of the same set as this guy. If your not cracking booster boxes your not making master sets. Just have some discipline and have a USPS priority large box and sort C/UC, R, Holo, Holo Rare, (GX, EX, V, VMax) in stacks of 100. Keep the inventory updated. Once the box is full send in the list based on set price and take store credit. This is what I do...

[@Pokerank1-nl1cs]

Can I pay you to sort my bulk for Me? One booster pack per hour 😄

[@NonedarkTCG]

Deal…151 packs only. Send me cards to sort.
