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.

Gets a little boring now!

[@courtzny7795]

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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@seanwalloch748]

for how thoughtful this man was for people giving him support, i went ahead and subscribed. Kindness goes a long way

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

Pokémon has been such a big thing in my life for all these years. It’s always been there. Quality content man. Always looking forward to your new videos.

[@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!

[@alexr852]

Again, another great video! Super appreciative of you and the time you take to help us learn more!

[@LE1Dreamer]

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

[@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!

[@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 👍

[@maine-ly]

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

[@x0dus11]

Your videos are really good and interesting. It’s good to have someone who helps the community about the business. Good job

[@TheOddOddish]

Congrats @Danny P.! You are growing soo fast!! You deserve it, thank you for your continued wealth of knowledge!

[@EPICGENGAR23]

bro im binge watching all these videos and absorbing all this crazy info hes giving everybody real knowledge.... take notes.... Keep it up this is great!

[@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.

[@Verructk]

I can appreciate you Danny you care to grow the people who follow you. I hope when you're famous you remember us who are here now my dude

[@ayyyynick]

All of your videos are super informative and useful! As a business major and a Pokemon fan it's like the perfect blend of both worlds!

[@artycuz6877]

So far the vids i seen from you are top notch. Very good explanation, and very knowledgeable. Keep it up bro!

[@ericgonzales4398]

Thank you for the video and insight. I've been thinking about starting and this video has given the best inside information on it. Looking forward to learning more.

[@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!

[@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.

[@kieranrankie203]

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

[@uxoou4820]

Been really enjoying your videos Danny. Thanks and keep it up!

[@frankc.astle214]

I really do appreciate you explaining everything so well. I’m just now looking at getting into the market. Hopefully I’m not too late to capitalize on building an inventory before the competitive scene starts up again.

[@Christinme03]

Man this was soo informative and helpful! Thank you for sharing!! Please continue to do more videos on business models and more in-depth steps/topics on how you grew your business🙏 great work!👌

[@JustCallMeQuentin]

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!

[@TwistedCards957]

[@lesszeredi2036]

Thank you for all of the information, It's been very helpful. My wife and I are about 6 months into making our hobby a business here in central Canada. We've been watching your content for about a month now and have found some extremely helpful stuff. You and I seem to have a lot in common as far as love for business and pokemon, looking forward to seeing your channel grow and being along for the ride.

[@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!

[@kronnix5686]

Dude keep these videos coming! Hope you make it big and can profit off sharing your great knowledge!

[@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

[@redhawg]

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

Another banger, keep it up Danny!

[@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 :)
