Pokebeard must get up at 3 in the morning 🤔

[@PokeBeardTCG]

I do😂

[@leannwaldo4736]

Probably the baby wakes him up. Might as well record a video. 😂

[@Pick6Nick]

I get off work at 12 at night and go to bed around 8 in the morning so pokebeard comes in clutch all the time 💯

[@PokeBeardTCG]

@@leannwaldo4736 yep lol

[@SDCISHERE]

😂😂😂 this comment had me like nope he never sleeps and has a twin

[@cws31]

Dude, you’re amazing. I’ll gladly come to trade shows to just shake your hand lol. Whole heartedly agree on that Zapdos illustration too! Such a gorgeous card.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

That means a ton!

[@TheHonourableAtheist]

Nice video again! Beautiful cards picked up this month too, I got a fair few myself this month! Thanks as always for your guidance!

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Thank you!

[@samersalama6275]

I love the fact that the SV SIRs are so cheap. I actually picked up a really clean copy of iron treads for $3. I really need to find that ting lu. It’s absolutely beautiful.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Yea such great cards for so cheap

[@sleepysheepy911]

I feel like Ting-Lu, Wo-Chien and those Penny/Jacq cards are flying under the radar, no way they should be less than $10 they're absolutely beautiful. Same with that Giovanni's Charisma

[@PokeBeardTCG]

I agree

[@MrRandygtgod]

The new Pinsir TG from TWLM is a hidden banger

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Agreed

[@Hitmonscorner_ko]

Stumbled upon your channel in early June. Really appreciate your passion for collecting and sharing information with your audience. Top tier content brother 👍🏽

[@PokeBeardTCG]

That means a ton. If you ever have any questions. Check out my what if Wednesday video

[@nilocdg9752]

Yea man that zapdos is def in the top 3 for me in S and V. Can’t believe it is still so cheap.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

It's crazy

[@OhBenE2]

Great pickups. Personally, I’m scouring a proxy service and picking up SIR/alt arts and 151 booster boxes. Japanese cards are so cheap right now!

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Great idea

[@jeanielaksmi7288]

Hi PokeBeard! Great video as always! I’m always on the lookout for all the cards that you mentioned. I just started collecting pokemon and your videos are a big help! Thanks!

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Thank you! If you have any questions check out my what if Wednesday

[@izzylogan25]

That's one way to look at PSA compared to CGC. Another way is that CGC was overly strict in their grading which alienated many newcomers in recent years. And yet another way is to further discern how the two grade different eras. For example, it seems like PSA is harsh on vintage. The grading game is definitely a moving target with many dimensions to consider.

[@caelburchett4936]

Great video! I just grabbed some Silver Tempest booster boxes from Pokémon center before they sell out. I think it’s going to do pretty well in the future.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

I agree

[@601RoLiz3NP]

Thank you so much for all the great information! You have helped me improve my collecting game so much!

[@PokeBeardTCG]

That's my goal

[@MrMasterSet]

Pretty sick June haul! I'm also gonna wait for PE reprint before picking up a few. Also agree about the Master Sets, haha... really hard to do without heaps of money.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

I appreciate that! Glad to see you in the comments again

[@MrMasterSet]

​@@PokeBeardTCG Likewise! I just finished a big move which ate up ALL my free time. All settled now, and getting back into the hobby again.

[@PokeOpenTCG]

Great video man especially for beginner collectors like myself just getting back into the hobby :), Happy early birthday!

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Thank you! That means a ton

[@PrinceLazyBoy]

I’ve been seeing them at Walmart 151. I picked up four ETB of 151 from Walmart in Zappos collection box.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Nice!

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Thank you! Mine is the 7th

[@bradleydahl5812]

Hey man! Collected Pokémon cards when I was younger and loved it and wanted to get into again because some of the artwork is incredible on these recent gen cards 👌 where is best for a uk based customer to start off getting some etbs and even some psa 10 singles which I would love to own just for a personal collection piece for myself? Sorry to ask a lot here just new to it all

[@armarine004]

This is my favorite series you do 🤘

[@PokeBeardTCG]

That means a ton. Let me know if I can do anything better in my other series

[@Probasaur]

Greninja gold star is a great pick up. It makes sense they are as cheap as they are when you think about the level of scalping that was going on at that time. Incredibly amounts of people buying celebrations etbs and selling the packs. My local 711 had a gold star greninja accidentally in with their celebrations packs on their display for sale by the register. Nice little bonus gift. Least you can do when you’re charging $10 a pack or close to it.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Yea but it's like $150-$200 in a psa10.

[@CollectionYawl]

Is it weird I like when you say “NEXT”

[@PokeBeardTCG]

😂

[@maverickbonato8164]

16:07, if you only have standard 9 cards binders though I'm using Dragon Shield 8 pocket pages. Maaaaan it's as if they were made for these, don't even need to flip the binder to appreciate them xV

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Thank you

[@RandomGeekCollections]

Thanks for the tips. As a newbie in this, I find your video very informative

[@PokeBeardTCG]

That means a ton

[@lostinjerzey7646]

I'm with ya on the SIR's. I sold a ting-lu and really didn't want to but the guy bought a few. I couldn't believe how cheap it was, made it that much harder to let go of

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Such beautiful cards

[@michaelreddy6281]

Getting as many of the legendary dogs from crown Zenith. Picked up a few psa 10 Raikous for £60 GBP. Love the channel watch every video, love from chester, UK

[@PokeBeardTCG]

That means a ton!

[@XxLukexX]

The glarian bird tins are definitely a steal at the moment, picked up 24x total of the standard size tins at £16.95 a pop, for the UK they actually work out cheaper per pack vs the ETBs with the only downside being storing them is a little less space efficient arguably

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Smart man!

[@HenkZ-po4fw]

Been picking up CRZ as well. Now looking for 151 BBs, but unfortunately they aren't as cheap in the Netherlands as they are in the states.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

How much are they

[@elcid_1324]

Yes Walmart has been full of 151 collection box and ETB the past few weeks, no bundles. “ATL area”

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Thank you for letting me know

[@TaylorIX-gs2zq]

Yup been waiting for this one 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Thank you!

[@simplysombersimplysomber903]

I just grabbed a PSA 9 Arceus V Star for $75 hopefully it was a good pick up long term such a beautiful card for cheap

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Thank you brother

[@PokeBeardTCG]

What's your favorite movie??

[@TrueClassicMovies]

@@PokeBeardTCG I'm not so sure I have #1 movie. I watch a lot of Old Westerns, 40's/50's war movies and tons of old black & white movies. Some of my favorite actors are John Wayne, James Stewart, Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy, Clint Walker, Charles Bronson and even Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. I prefer the older movies to most of the new stuff they come out with.

[@chrisgerosa2171]

Great video sir n happy early birthday 🎂 when is ur birthday ? I totally agree with paradox rift I'm trying to stack up on that set

[@PokeBeardTCG]

July 7th and thank you!

[@Magical_Mike_]

Thanks for the info goat, how do you feel about twilight masquerade for long term investing? I think the hard pull rates make it worth something

[@PokeBeardTCG]

It will probably do decent

[@michaeloneill8565]

As long as Jaapanese 151 is around english 151 ETB price its buy buy buy for me !

[@PokeBeardTCG]

When comes to the classic collection, it’s all about the Japanese version! The shiny borders take it to the next level

[@PokeBeardTCG]

I bought up a set of Flareon Jolteon Vaporeon vmax premium collection box. Also a Fusion Strike BB / 151 UPC from PKC UK. That UPC comes with the Squirtle promo. The UPC I'm gonna open tomorrow with my nephews. Still don't got the Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur. But the FS BB, promo and Eeveelutions set are for my sealed collection.

[@OpinionatedChicken59]

Do you think the classic collection box will continue to go down in price? I'm thinking about buying one, but it's still around $530 here and I just know if I buy one it will drop to like $400, that's always what happens. I love the set though but damn expensive as hell.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

Where do you live? It's like $275 in the US

[@dcsoda1]

How many booster boxes of each set do you try to hold on to? Obviously it depends on the set but I’m curious what your strategy is in terms of numbers.

[@PokeBeardTCG]

I try to get at least 3 minimum

[@nicklasgravgaard5076]

Dang, feeling like I'm getting ripped of living in Denmark, lol. 151 premium boxes are going for 144-217 dollars here..

[@giannibordonaro8631]

Legit don’t even collect Japanese cards but wished so bad we got 151 as a main set and had booster boxes cause they would have looked insane so when the Japanese boxes got to 45/55$ shipped on tik tok over the last couple weeks I scooped 16 sealed boxes all said and done to hold onto aside from all my English 151 sealed I have stashed and a completed master set! It’s just too good and when that team rocket set comes out I’m talking at least 3 cases of booster boxes sealed and like 2 cases of sleeves and completed set of course You just have too!

My plan is to sell a few to pay for the rest. Get the nice ones graded and then sell when they're high.
