I cannot speak for everyone else but if you were to set up a patreon (I think that's how it's spelled) for consultation at a reasonable price then I would be personally interested and use that service. I think new and old collectors and investors would appreciate it given your background and knowledge! Show of thumbs so that he sees this and how many people would be interested!

I understand perfectly what you mean. I came into a certain hobby with barely anything. 3 years later I have one of the strongest collections. I think the best collections are people who purchase collections (or lots) from others and add that to themselves. Also selling the excess to fund for more cards and it just continues to grow and expand into more hobbies. My heart isn't entirely into Pokemon right now but once the situation is right I plan to build a strong empire for the Pokemon card collecting hobby.

I remember going into card shops back in 1999/2000 and 1st edition charizards were selling for $250. It seemed like A TON of money back then, I was 10/11 so it was a lot of money for a kid but I wish I asked my Dad to buy me one of those instead of a Les Paul.

Hey Scott 😁!! I hope this message finds you well (apologies in advance for potentially spamming you until this message gets read but this video got me very excited) TLDR : I WOUD LOVE TO HIRE YOU FOR CONSULTATION WORK I'm a young professional that was in the hobby as a kid and has recently got back into it. I have to say that you've been a big catalyst getting me back into it amongst other things (no not Logan Paul or the bald scammer😂😂). The maturity and sophistication you bring to the table when discussing content about it while keeping the fun/game/candid/artistic aspect of it gets me super excited and stoked. A lot of the stuff you post is super intellectually stimulating, clear and well structured. You're basically the Chancellor of Pokemon University in my mind. If I had to do a PhD in it, there's no one else I could see fit to supervise. That's why I would love to hire you for consultation work. I am totally agreeing with you that you should get paid for this and that this expertise should given in exchange of a monetized hourly rate. My situation is a bit particular as I'm not trying to build a business out of it, definitely not tryna flip and as much as I'm interested in collecting I do understand that there are some limitations to what it will be possible for me to collect. I'm in it more for the love of the game, the art and being able to do "adult stuff" with a kid game. I think I would be fun to work it as I'm genuinely passionate by the whole thing and could also share some professional expertise of my own that could be potentially useful to you in certain aspects of what you're doing. I chose to comment on this video rather than a more recent one cause it's where you discussed this idea first. I also know time management is your big difficulty this year but I 100% guarantee you that our exchange will be worth it as I'm fully ready to cover your hourly rate on top of trying to the best of my expertise to make the exchange mutually beneficial .

Thank you for this. I just started investing after being in the hobby again for 2.5 years, and have 10k invested in flashfire, ancient origins, and xy evolutions booster boxes. Also bought re and blue collection, generations boxes, and other sealed box products. Sometimes, especially when I need money for grad school, I want to just sell and take whatever I can back, but these videos keep me on the straightened arrow. It'll pay off!

Hey! A very informative video I enjoyed alot. I only recently got back into collecting after 18 years or so out of it, it was a different ball game at first, and so many sets it's daunting to even start! But I've gotten smarter. I have a question about Generations. I'm sorry if you can't just answer it here as I appreciate the time it takes for you. But I'm curious as a mild collector, has it firstly just gone out of print now the last mythical boxes are over, or are they still making them for the retailers. And do you think it's a good set for investment? I feel its scarcity from non traditional release (booster box) means there'll be a lot less free booster packs floating around, increasing their value? I know many of the cards aren't the MOST desirable so I understand that's a set's factor in value over time, potential super rare pulls from packs, but at the same time it has a stellar roster of many of the original gen pokemon being an anniversary release! I've loved opening it, I know that much for sure.

You don’t have to spend endless hours to be able to make money on Pokémon tcg. You just had to buy this a few years back before it really skyrocketed. Just think it’s gonna be a little late to invest now, since most of the money is probably already made. Besides, theres a maximum to what an average person is willing to spend on cards. That’s why Gary will never get rid of his collection for the $ 3 million he’s selling it for.

Glad you found the channel! Anything Wotc right now is not easy to find. Going back even a few years, and definitely 5-7, there was product available all the time. Now certain sealed items from that era appearance once in a blue moon. So yes, Wotc sealed anything is a safe bet. Use ebay completed listings to get an idea for valuation.

Lol yep I sold a psa 9 shadowless blastoise for 234.00 years back SHM
So I'm getting to the point where i want to invest more into pokemon and also get some cards graded. I had the thought to go check out your store and i see the evolutions psa 10 rev holo rare cards on there at $100. I tried to find some others for sale but yours were the only ones. What makes them worth so much and why is no one else trying to sell them?
@smpratte

They are new cards, so the price point is well defined atm. Regardless, english cards are not an easy grade. Therefor PSA 10 examples typically earn significantly more than their ungraded counterpart. Feel free to search ebay completed listings to look at the actual sales of psa 10 english cards to get a better understanding!
