Man I can barely afford 1 booster box a month and my man’s buys a whole toy store every day

[@orionsires]

Unfortunately I made a rather too big of an investment into scarlet and violet and into the entire Nintendo universe this past month. I will have to slow down and take a break. I will be selling things to cover my spending and get back to a healthy habit of budgeting. Sanjo left a good comment that I think others can relate to. It is an addictive hobby and I definitely will be pulling back a little. I will be doing a video on this soon. 😎❤️

@19:30 that’s not a first print Pokémon yellow game because first print have the letter E white instead black for the esrb

[@DanielTapia-w3v]

I’m pretty sure don’t take my word for it

[@orionsires]

Im no expert but I think based on the flaps on the bottom versus the X fold is how you tell but I know there are many variations great eye! 😎🙏🏼

[@777superlightwater]

You’re right

[@SunnyP97]

Great collection man!. I never buy cib's, I'd be looking at newly listed items every once in awhile and type in whichever pokemon game I'm looking for but just the box and manual inserts (no game). Cause if you think about it, boxes an manuals are way harder find, not loose games.

[@orionsires]

You’re 100% right the boxes and manuals are much harder to find in good condition. I’m kind of the same way when I am looking I keep an open mind because then if you find a spare game to go with it can sell for a premium as a complete package. Empty boxes can be a really nice find 😎

[@SunnyP97]

2 months ago I bought an early print of Pokemon Blue in pristine condition, it cost me a total of 265.00, so that was jus luck for me dude, all I have left remaining it Red, Yellow, Crystal, Sapphire, Emerald, an Leafgreen

[@SunnyP97]

I have a mint condition mentality when it comes to retro game collecting, if I look up a listings on Ebay an the fronts in mint shape and the sides aren't, even if it's just a tiny crease, I pass on it lol

[@Happysanjo]

I know everyone can do whatever they want with there money and if your happy that's what's important, but I'll be honest the amount you spend and the rate at which you seem to pick up a hobby and then just literally shotgun spread start buying my everything is very concerning and honestly kind of tough to watch, I love the channel and no judgment. But I mean it's thousands of dollars in like a month on top of you buying cases. I worry about people hope your okay man

[@orionsires]

So I recently have stopped all bids and purchases and used my savings to pay off my card. You aren’t wrong Sanjo, I do love collecting to an extreme but there’s no rush and at this point I think I can afford to slow down a little bit. I know you care so I don’t take it wrong you’re a good person and I should do a video talking about the addictive nature of collecting.❤️

[@jcgm666]

Very nice collection man! Hmm Pokemon Yellow is not a first print, should have white "E" logo

[@orionsires]

Thanks yeah I messed that up lol

[@benjaminkappler2255]

If I'm not mistaken a first print yellow has a white ESRB on the cover?

[@orionsires]

You’re probably right this is an old video 😎

[@CalvinBCards]

Great video nice to see the collection so far! Do you plan on getting the non players choice version of Fire Red?

[@orionsires]

Eventually I would like to have all the different variations of the gameboy games but for now I’ll be content with my setup 😎 how about yourself?

[@CalvinBCards]

@@orionsires just trying to get the games I originally had CIB. Then see how I feel.

[@pokehunteroficial6057]

I now have a sealed original pokemon gold. Got it for 380€ great condition

[@orionsires]

Now that is one amazing deal! Nice! Those games have really been fetching serious premiums! 😎🙏🏼

[@pokehunteroficial6057]

@@orionsires Just sold it last week 1.190€ 😅 I then got Pokemon Black 2, Pokemon Soulsilver, Pokemon Gold, Pokemon Heartgold, Pokemon White 2 and Pokemon Cristal All full in the box, all complete and in fantastic shape I would say 9/9.5 out of 10 all perfect and all bought with the profit over that Sealed Gold transaction this was an insane deal! I just cant thank you enough I remember back then came across your youtube channel and when I first watch this video. I was actualy trying to get a full pokemon games collection and this video is one of the few which got me started by listening someone who actualy knows what he is talking about. Started this business from zero and now my collection its over 3.000€+ All this time I've only invested about 500€ buying and selling pokemon Video Games. Once again, thank you very much 🙏 because of you I learned I can do something diferent. Learned a new skill, and defenitly will continue moving on. You are the best 🙏

[@Griffnix]

I'm nearly done with my pokémon collection. Just need the Japanese only ds tgc teaching game and Pokken Tournament DX. I have all rhe manuals and got ds style cases for the gameboy games and N64 ones. I am considering getting the Gen 1-3 games in Japanese and for them I like them CIB. I may be in rhe minority for I like some wear on my boxes just because it shows it's age and history. Now I don't want it ripped or have it look like it was stepped on or left on the mud but some few nicks are fine. Hoping to start that soon.

[@orionsires]

Right on! Feeling done with collection goals is something I wish I could relate with! Good luck in your collecting journey 😎

[@jfishh9]

Great collection! I’m doing the same but collecting all the way to 3DS and getting them graded through WATA

[@orionsires]

Thanks fam! I’ve really grown to love these old gameboy games and plan to play them all! 😎

[@Hyliea]

I had a near mint ruby cib and I ended up selling for like 360 cdn I think its around 400 usd or more

[@orionsires]

Yeah that sounds about right haha I really want a cleaner one but for now I think I’ll just be happy with what I’ve got ! 😎

[@pokehunteroficial6057]

That is absolutely right 100% I remember buying one for 125€ guy was asking 150€ to my eyes at the time it was a bargain, sold it less then a week later for 300€ where I live. I will say 350-400$ to the right buyer is just accurate👌

[@Boffenmeister]

Had 80% of the games complete in 2020, think i payed mabe 800 bucks or something for all the games CIB from gen 1-6. Sold them all during the covid boom in 2020 for mabe 2k. Wanting them so bad now and would be looking at what 3-5k for all of them in the same condtion... Man.... Thank god i never sold mye complete emerald copy (fave game).

[@orionsires]

Emerald is arguably the best one but yeah man that’s tough! We’ve all sold things we regret at some point that’s just life 😎

[@jayz6706]

I’ll sell you my Pokémon red for $300

[@orionsires]

I appreciate that offer is it sealed ? 😎🙏🏼

[@Mage-mc7mz]

Unplayed Pokemon games is downright sinful.

[@orionsires]

Facts but also while collecting and working full time hard to find the time to play my games 😂

[@Ret_Chrogames]

Plenty of ways to play Pokémon while preserving physical copies for display.
