TOP 5 MISTAKES POKEMON CARD COLLECTING AND INVESTING! (Market Analysis)

[@EeryAudio]

I'm now 34 collecting when I was back in middle school when I was 11-12, do it for love not money

[@seanhearn9616]

"Investors" have destroyed the fun and ruined the hobby for people who collect for fun

[@Dugef]

There are people like this in every hobby though

[@pokenoir666]

Such an important, interesting, entertaining and... yeah, just friendly video! I appreciate your calm and objective way to talk about things. Looking forward for more Content, greetings from Germany!

[@RobertPaulson87]

Agreed with everything you said👍

[@youcanthandlemyname7393]

top mistake is only caring about the money. its a hobby not a business and if your one of those people looking at it like a business your making a mistake.

[@joervintagepokemon6976]

That was cool man. Great editing as usual and on point with how to collect. I have some major wins and some major losses. Thankfully the wins greatly outweigh the losses, but it's important to remember no one is perfect. Lastly, f*** taxes lol

[@pikal6143]

The typhlosion bit is kind of inaccurate. That 1% of psa 10s where definitely not all pack fresh, you are much more likely to get a psa 10 if it is pack fresh.

[@MRkriegs]

Yea that is true

[@halafradrimx]

How likely? Because fresh pull from packs doesn't guarantees a PSA 10 score.

[@domdomvas842]

Nice but your calculation of the chance of getting a PSA 10 Typhlosion lacks realistic assumptions. There are 1,041 graded copies, but not all of these copies were pack fresh. Some were bought off of ebay and sent to PSA, some were stored in binders for years etc. So realistically, the chance to pull a Typhlosion and grade it a 10 are higher than 1.056%, nevertheless the chance is absurdly small and it's still not worth doing it as the expected value is negative. Nice take though!

[@garyis2000]

Very well done video and excellent message.

[@seekyleskate]

thanks for your knowledge !

[@TheKoiPartner]

Nee video! 🚀😍

[@titan-rk6xj]

Yo

[@FrostlikeReign]

Yeah i cannot stress it enough. I have the money to continue on pack opening. Its mainly the only way i get my cards/collection, and thats due to my enjoyment to how opening packs with my wife feels. Unless you have a good money flow, opening packs is NOT the way to go. Do not buy after a set comes out. Wait at most 2 months to buy singles in current set. Older sets you will need to pay attention a lot more to graphs on when a card is at its highest and lowest.

Great video!

[@RoleJohn]

hello there ! so glad i found your channel . great educational content i would love some more info concerning the 'late' decision to start collecting again (not for profit) but for the ability to get the 1st edition good oldies (: u won ur self a new subscriber be safe thanks again

[@pokemon_classics]

I actually never stopped collecting; I started in 1999 and ran a league until 2002. However, it became increasingly difficult to buy vintage cards in the mid 2000's until internet commerce sites like eBay became more mainstream. Then in about 2011, I started actively buying and selling online, making significantly more progress than ever before.

[@robertbenavente955]

Great tips!

[@Nicolasszu]

very good chanel! contratulations! and very good your way of talking. slow and clear, regards!

[@joeguyman7423]

A wise man once said "when I was at the ball game they sold 7 dollar hotdogs because people paid for them" ... makes you think

[@SoundQuestROB]

Not just pokemon but card collecting 101 right here! So ? How much do you think I could get for a Pokemon 2011 Call of Legends Lugia SL7 Holo in PSA 10 I haven't sent it out yet as that will be $250 Canadian with these new prices but I do think this card will fetch a 10 Do you think it's worth paying to get it graded?

[@mikepelli]

I need more content from you ; )

[@eklofolleYT]

Ok

[@dawnpokemontrainer]

Thanks for this helpful checklist, advice, and examples. Keep up the great work!

[@robertbenavente955]

I like that you showed that KZbin guy pulling the blastoise. He is not down to earth.

[@jakobh6257]

Good info 👍👍

[@phantomxmods3095]

Oh crap I just bought 4 PSA 9 Shadowless Charmanders 🤣😂...Got them for 35$ each and thought it was a crazy find Lol.

[@roythecrazy2790]

[@stevelafrentz9876]

[@genwunner]

[@pokemon_classics]

An original Pokemon League Badge book

[@genwunner]

@@pokemon_classics Thanks! Cool channel btw. Been watching for a couple months as a long time pokemon fan but newer card collector (part of the pandemic wave into the hobby...)

[@pokemon_classics]

@@genwunner Well, welcome to collecting! We are happy to have you join the community.

[@Davidlyv1]

I know this is suppose to be inspirational..especially in the end, but this has to be said. It did NOT take Ash 25 years to win a league. He kicked butt, and won, both the Orange Islands and the Battle Frontier. Put some respect on his name.

[@RobertPaulson87]

He said :25 seasons" in this video. But I think it was 22 seasons/years before he won a major Pokemon League

[@Davidlyv1]

@@RobertPaulson87 oh, in that case, my bad I must have heard it wrong. Thanks for correcting me:)

[@ajmore]

Thanks a lot

Spoiler alert! I didnt know he failed to win a tourney for 25 seasons! 😔😜
