Amazing! Your passion, your insight... thank you. I needed this. I used to have over 1,000 base set booster packs and I have been selling on ebay for the past 10 years. I have been frustrated that I sold, sold, sold and did not buy back in. I used the money to support my family and pay bills. I wish I would have reinvested... Thank you for helping me... let it go. I can only focus on tomorrow. I have boxes of unlimited base set loose cards and I now realize I am fortunate because my binder of base set and jungle set is going up in value every day. My box of empty foil wrappers (have about 50 of them) are worth something. My box of Burger King 23K Pokeball characters from 1999, when my kids actually told me, "Dad, do we have to eat Burger King again!?" they are going up in value... I am fortunate and I realize I need to stop lamenting on the "what ifs..." Thank you for a very well put together video on how to look at what is going on with Paul Logan and the Poke universe.

I agree a lot with your insight, however you say you had 30$ a month to spend a buy stuff, and thats the majority of people in the pokemon community. And the reason they are upset is they cant buy anything with that monthly allowance because stores are constantly out of stock. Because of the logan paul hype and just hype about money in general, it is causing cards to rise in price, which sadly is attracting scalpers to be like "oh, I can buyout all the modern product and resell it for some easy money!". I saw a video recently of a grandma only being able to get funko pops and a theme deck for her twin grandsons who love pokemon cards......., investors aren't the only people in pokemon. Kids aren't able to enjoy the hobby like we did because of the hype money train, should we just tell them "tough luck buddy but just adapt and get some japanese cards even though you cant read it!", and collectors and players are finding it hard to rip open a few modern packs for fun too. While I do think your channel has a large portion of vintage collectors and psa slab type collectors, most people in the community are not actually worried about vintage cards rising in price, we couldn't afford it anyways before lol, what we are upset about is that logan paul, the pandemic etc is creating extreme demand causing modern products to be bought out not by collectors/investors, players, and kids , but by investors who are only in it for the money and scalpers, creating a loop of even more demand, and on and on which is ruining the best part of the hobby for many and creating rightful anger. :) One thing I gotta add is im suprised so many people are going out to stores buying pokemon lol when we are in a pandemic cause I thought it would be the opposite, like in Wuhan people were only going out once every 2 weeks to quickly get their groceries...........

I can see why people are upset but honestly the world doesn't owe you or any person one single thing. The stores don't owe you stock and the Pokemon company doesn't owe you more print runs. This life is hard so even by complaining about everything you mentioned doesn't change a single thing. This is his point in the video. You can get angry because of everything you mentioned but it doesn't do anything. Also trust me the kids who Got pops instead of cards are blessed because some kids in different countries don't even get shoes, food or even a soccer ball to kick. The kids will get over it big facts and the truth of the matter is this life isn't easy and no one owes you dang thing lul

@@ibterror1140 I can tell you I am unbiased, I don't go into stores and buy products at retail mainly cause of the pandemic so I could really care less. The reason I care is it does matter because it is ruining the hobby, sure the kids are gonna go and get some other toy, you know what that means? Pokemon cards are gonna die because kids are the foundation of the hobby, they grow up and feel nostalgic and continue collecting! And again, yes some kids dont even have a soccer ball, but this type of "well someone else has less, someone else has it worse so dont complain!" comparison is infinite and goes on and on, just because something else is worse than another thing, that other thing can still be very terrible. Plus we can see through examples in history, anger can create change if used properly, even now for example some stores have started setting limits on products thanks to anger of customers not being able to get any.

A lot of the negativity and complaining doesn't benefit anyone, and it's too common among the same folks who were balking at $700 first ed. boxes in '07, and Rev's box break at around $100k last year.

No humbleness at all. I found myself feeling down cause I didn’t have their collection and it was getting too toxic. After adapting, I find myself in a better place. Please realize it’s just a piece of cardboard with ink on it. Eliminate the FOMO, eliminate the comparison, and eliminate the sh*t that gets you down. Have an awesome day everyone!

Thanks for the pep talk. You were a big inspiration towards my passion for Pokémon collecting. I’ve been super down on myself lately because I made a decision to sell a large chunk of my collection about 2 years ago. I thought I was doing the right thing at the time. I had quite a few booster boxes of Legendary Treasures, Boundaries Crossed, and several Shining Legends Elite trainer boxes that I sold.. now I’m kicking myself every day thinking about what they’re worth now. I also collect Magic the Gathering sealed product and reserved list cards, thankfully I’ve never sold anything from that collection. When I was a teenager I saved up money all summer from doing various babysitting jobs and mowing lawns. I took my money and bought a booster box of Revised Magic the Gathering cards for $85 from my LGS, my friends and I had a great time opening all the packs but anyway point is I have to remind myself and my friends that we don’t have crystal balls.. we don’t know what the future will bring.

We'll, a year ago i bought 10 shining legends raichu boxes for about 12 to 13 per box. I opened 4 with my kids, kept 6. A friend of mine is doing a base set box break and because of shining legends packs going from 4 bucks to 25 per. I was able to adapt and trade my 6 boxes that now had the same value of one base set pack for one actual pack! So, adaptation makes sense!

I died ever since 1st Ed. base Bulbasaur hit 30k. Real talk though, this is spot on phenomenal advice to any disillusioned collectors out there. I watched in horror as Pokémon prices skyrocketed while simultaneously losing my job to the pandemic last year. My next intended purchase became a pipe dream in a matter of weeks. IT SUCKS. When you become fixated on certain cards you think you NEED, you forget how much fun it is to fill a binder up. To my vintage homies- you'll find something you'll love in modern, cheaper cards. Trust me. Here's a binder in the works: Sun & Moon, Kanto & Johto pokédex, Japanese and English, common to holo-rare ONLY! My chase cards are now Japanese exclusive promos/Yellow As/league stamps/prerelease stamps/etc...and, I gotta say, it's a pretty sexy binder. I never thought I'd collect Japanese or modern, but those SM8b reverse holos just hit different....

I was doing okay until in 2016 when I moved to Japan. I could no longer collect those English cards because it was to expensive to do from that end of the world. I felt down for a bit but then I adapted. I discovered a whole new world of vintage Japanese exclusive and promos. Now my collection is more valuable and diverse than I can imagine. I never finished that 151 but I'm still grateful and proud of my collection.

I think that a lot of people entering the hobby are going to get baited into this idea of every pack fresh card being a 10 and then they will leave the hobby within 6 months after they get disappointed 1 time. What are the actual affects of that happening, no clue. But im curious to see what other people think about this.

What LP did for the hobby through immediate growth is show how unoptimized the market is currently. There are many things I can buy for prices that shouldn't exist. I just can't hardly buy everything can I without going broke when it takes a year to get cards back. There is an overall benchmark that was pushed upward, and when you assess relative value and see what some cards are priced compared to the new standard, its easy to see a lot of cards with a ton of value are just being ignored while everyone is so busy following what everyone else is buying and hyping to even do the research required to assess relative value in the hobby on their own. This hobby is still ripe for the picking, its easier than ever to make money in pokemon you just have to stop being a follower and do your research, be dedicated, and then make enough mistakes along the way to actually learn how to optimize everything. Or adapt, if you will ;)

one of the best incites I've ever heard someone speak about when it comes to someones skills (yes selling is a skill), this actually helped me more with my drawing and how I do the exact same shit drawing. You cant let it get you down, stop caring and just do it focus on what you CARE about. I do also collect and I've gotten some amazing cards about 5 - 6 years ago that are probably worth a ton, but I wanted them for me not to sell at first. just found this channel but I'm absolutely subscribing.

Picked up 1995 topsun Venusaur flawless condition, 40 bucks I’ve been looking for a good one for a long time already, and because of the hype, people are busting out with their stash. It’s all good with me, adapt.

Great thoughts Scott! Thanks for putting out amazing content that cuts deep, the real deal. I love hearing both sides if a story, the ups and downs. I can relate to people criticizing me, but I just need to mind my own business. Work hard, and keep moving

ISn't the booster box price on vintage always going to be higher than what a PSA 10 Holo would be out of that box? So is it pointless to even buy sealed vintage product??

The best part of the Logan Paul video was when he got run over by a semi truck. Or that might have been a dream I had.

We can't be expected to understand Scott. He is so far above us. We are like ropes on the Good Year Blimp. We’re like Pallet Town trainers trying to understand life in the Indigo Plateau.

Walked into a card store and they blamed their lack of merchandise on Logan Paul. Seems like a supply problem to me. The demand is here and here to stay.

So guys we learnt that if you are low budget, go and buy damaged cards, put them in a binder and shut the hell up. I like that

I have been watching you since you were below 1000 followers and while I don’t sell I continue to buy Pokémon cards with the money from my Job and I now have a very valuable collection with a good mixture of vintage and modern and everything in between. Thanks for the info man.
