Selling Pokemon Cards At My First Convention!

[@ProfessorOakYouTube]

This is brilliant! Definitely reassuring to hear it went so well and you had such a good experience!!

[@semioldguy]

Not surprised that the 'low-end' stuff moved so much, that's more or less what I've always heard from bigger dealers as what allows them to turn a profit.

Great video thank you I’m doing my first huge event at comicpalooza in houston I plan to have a ton of sealed and little games going to have the crowds coming. Great video I’ll be sure to have binders of cheaper stuff

[@jaredd5620]

sounds like it went well, that's awesome dude!

[@robusttundra7633]

This video is helping me so much, im vending my first event in just over a month and Im a bit nervous so thank you so much

[@JavaAkuma]

No problem! I hope your event goes well!

[@kamb8s]

Damn I hoped for the best and expected the worst. I have absolutely zero experience with small time cons like that, I wouldn't have been surprised if you said you made $8 in sales. So to hear you did so well is rad to hear. Good shit.

[@KetchumAllCollectibles]

Ooh getting that local comic store hookup was nice

[@JavaAkuma]

Hell yeah

[@dagreenshiz]

I saw the title and was like damn you were at LB and we didnt meet? lmao. Good work!

[@JavaAkuma]

Thanks dude! Hope you had a successful weekend as well. 👍

12:38 in the video, ive been struggling to find one of those Glas Display Case things you have your slabs in, is there a specific keyword for those online? Cool video, Ive booked 9 conventions during 2023 to start my vendor career as an old collector. Been collecting for the past 11 years myself and cant wait to get out there doing business!

[@JavaAkuma]

The case I used is titled this on Amazon "Sports Card Display Case | Baseball and Trading Card Display Case for Collectibles | Graded Card Case | 92% Clear View | Antifade UV Protection | Gold Locks | Fits 36 Pokemon Basketball Cards | Black". Looks like its 118. It was quite a bit less when I bought it but it worked well for the event. Thanks for watching and good luck vending!

[@cratedigga.mp3]

@@JavaAkuma Thanks for the info, hopefully they're available in Europe/Sweden where I'm from. I think we have Amazon available here now too.. Thanks and good luck to you too for future events! Best regards

[@MightAndMagickaRPCG]

Great video! Subbed.

[@JavaAkuma]

Thanks!

[@christyprunty9698]

Great video and fun day

[@johnnynguyen5371]

What type of cases did you use to display the graded cards?

[@JavaAkuma]

On Amazon, there is a Sports Card Display Case by Flybold. Thats the one I purchased for the event and still use today. Works pretty well.

5 bucks for mewtwo and mew tag team gx and 3 bucks for 3 birds jesus give me some xD

[@KurtHangTime]

not gonna lie, i think you shouldve moved to some other stuff. some thing go quicker than others. if u want more sales

[@Ggsonly434]

I dont understand, if you buy like $50 worth of packs, you get like 5 Vs if you are lucky. How is this guy hyped about selling them for a dollar? Plus you pay convention. So you lost $45? I'm wildly confused.

[@JavaAkuma]

I don't try to profit opening packs. It's probably the worst way to make money in this hobby. I open packs for fun and make money buying singles and grading them. What I sold at the event was all extra from those openings. So getting some money back on what typically just sits around and having fun doing it was a good time.

[@michaelcui]

hey man! loved this video and subbed. I had a question! I was potentially gonna try vending at card shows as well but im not sure how much money I should put into it to get some singles and stuff. How much money did you put into getting all of your singles and graded cards and stuff? Any chance I could get your instagram or anything to DM you a few questions on how to run a successful booth? Thanks man!
