This Mistake is Costing Pokemon Collectors THOUSANDS! 💰💰💰

Collecting and investing in Pokemon cards can be easy, or it can be hard (and VERY expensive). In this video, I explore something I've learned as a business owner and entrepreneur that I've now incorporated into my collection, and it's already saved me loads of money, and perhaps it can help you, too.

Of course, it's up to you to make the right decisions as far as what you spend your money on. This is not investment advice, but rather just an open look at how I'm approaching my new collection and the hobby in general, so that you can see how one guy is doing it, and make smarter, more calculated decisions moving forward.
In the video, I ask you to leave a comment below about the TYPE of collection you're building, if you have one. If not, then maybe it's time to consider focusing your collection, and your wallet.
Thanks again for the support of the new channel, it's been amazing, and a big shout out to two people who have recently interviewed me here on KZbin. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, philosophy and background, check out one of the interviews below!

My collection isn't about money or even an end goal(I don't want to have an end goal i want to keep collecting cos I love doing it) it's about passion and nostalgia. I love opening packs because if I narrow my self down to only caring about chase cards or gold cards then I miss the chance to appreciate the artworks on all the cards including commons.

[@Rebnobfulroar]

Yeah my middle ground for that is getting a handful of packs, and if I don't pull the card I specifically want by then, then instead of spending loads more on even more packs in the hopes I get it, I just buy it separate. That way I get to pull a bunch of commons/uncommons from the set and enjoy the mystery of opening the packs but don't open way more than I should lol and if I pull other super cool rares from the set along the way then it's even more exciting

[@probablyzion]

Tangela has always been my favorite pokemon, I want to collect every single tangela card including promos and I agree with all of your points! I've been collecting for years now, and just recently I've decided to niche down, and it makes it that much more exciting getting the cards I want/need for my collection. Thank you for all you do!

[@theniko246]

haha man im complete opposite fo you :D i want to keep them sealed forever :D

[@steinlaubenpieper7882]

I love sealed product. This mystery is whats so special for me. Maybe because I was frustrated after opening too many times. When its sealed its like a treasure of possibilties 😄

[@fishahollic7735]

Same here pulled 2 great cards this week and all my buddies are stashing boxes away

[@jerminator0688]

The beauty of sealed products are, you can have two packs, one with junk cards in it, one with the most valuable card in it (let’s say PSA 10 base set charizard,) and BOTH packs have the same exact value, because they’re sealed. I’ve just begun collecting again and I haven’t opened a single pack yet. I figured over time it will all be worth more than what I paid for it for sure. And I like sealed stuff personally.

[@-Neon]

I started getting back into collecting, so I’m deciding to make a Blastoise collection, as it’s my favorite Pokémon of all time, and as secondary focuses, getting cards for some of my other favorites, like Dragapult, Toxtricity, and others ! Thanks for continuing to inspire me :]

[@purplegion]

What he's saying is right & of course it feels *great* when you've saved up/finally found & managed to procure that certain card/item. _But.._ There's just *nothing* like that feeling you get when *pulling* that special card. Be it the chase card from a new set; a surprise that you haven't seen before but you love the look of; a playable/tactical monster, etc. It's a feeling that I just wouldn't trade for the safety of _only_ buying singles. That feeling takes me back to being 12, ripping base set & team rocket & the excitement & pure joy of when I pulled something interesting.

[@phantombringer]

k.

[@jbag2038]

My collection is not about the money it’s about the nostalgia. I grew up with the base set but fell out of the card collection and more into the games. With all these awesome moderne sets comming out I love to grab a booster box and get as many card out of a set as I can doing pack battles with my wife. I love holding on to one of each pack art from each set we open and I love the chase for all the new shines!

[@nibscribbler8138]

"Riches in the niches" is a great way to collect! There are a lot of collectors that only really collect based off value (nothing wrong with that), but I feel more comfortable just buying the stuff I like. A niche I got into is collecting the Misprint No Symbol version of Flareon from Jungle. I want to eventually have binders full of just that one card.

[@deeppocketmonster]

Dude I love it! You’ll corner the market the more you add to it, but more importantly, that’s almost a never ending journey that can keep bringing you joy over and over again!

I know this is an older video, but your opening really made me feel good about my collecting as I just started again this weekend. I'm starting an ArtistDex instead of trying to get everything (though that would be cool too). So I plan on purchasing promotional boxes instead of loose packs to get special cards that I know I don't have and then having fun with what comes in the box itself. I have 89 Illustrators in my current binder and my first major focus has been Saya Tsuruta as I love her style and its been so fun just hunting for her art in bulk bins at shops and looking forward to the next pull.

That's some great advice. For some reason I love collecting dragon Pokemon like Latios, Rayquaza, etc. I remember specifically Latios popping in my gameboy at the airport one time and that was a highlight for my childhood for years to come.

When you talked about your son spending $20 on the cards he wants online rather than packs… that really hit home for me. Because I feel the same way anymore. Especially since packs are much, much harder to get

I collect avian Pokémon and their specialist trainers. My first collection goal started by having at least one every Pokémon bird, then I started working on having at least one card from every generation a Pokémon was printed. Kudos on those Gen 2 Neo sets, but my heart with the Gen 2 e-Card sets myself (Expedition, Aquapolis, and Skyridge).

Would love a walk through on the spread sheet. Keep up the great videos!
