I started collecting again 4 months ago. I have listened to tons of podcasts, watched lots of RU-vid videos, and read tons of blogs, forums, and articles. This video is by far the best video explaining everything, hands down. You should be honored Luke.

Am barely getting into collecting Pokemon cards & one mini dilemma I had was deciding between storage (binder) vs displaying vs getting more product due to my low budget. Decided on buying a 5 pack magnetic displays after realizing how happy it made me to see the $1 Dedenne card I bought (& love) being propped on a cheap phone stand at my desk. The binder for proper storage & buying more packs for cards can wait but knowing & being able to display my favorites cards sooner will greatly help me enjoy this hobby a bunch more!

@chowyoonphat 10 месяцев назад

So glad you began the video with the first 2 things, which to me is the most important for this hobby and needs to be reminded to folks. I finally got into collecting Pokemon cards just recently. I've been mostly just collecting cards of the Pokemon I like to keep, and not for flipping. My approach has been mostly hunting down and buying singles. Every now again buying a pack or two just for the thrill of opening them. Having that focus helps me from making bad financial decisions, and most importantly, making this hobby enjoyable.

I'm really glad I found your channel and your video. I used to collect back into 7th and 8th grade back with the base set jungle set and fossil set were coming out. I used to compete in tournaments I had a binder of holograph I had a binder about comments and comments and I had energy cards and other Pokemon item in battle related cards and stuff that I would trade at different tournaments. I had quite a few of those cards stolen when I was at school. So I went back and got those cards back through collecting and buying booster packs. I lost the entire set of rare cards upon movie to a different place when I was transitioning from eight grade to high school and that entire experience really affected me and I just got out of it. Just like what you said of the video I don't know what happened 20 years later I'm seeing adults collecting and I'm seeing that it has come back there's like what 6 to 7 different types of booster packs series out there and it seems to still be a pretty big deal plus there's a lot of money involved if you are selling some rare or stuff like that anyway thanks for your video really helped

I'm REALLY glad I stumbled across your video. I just got to Japan around late December 2023 and I visited a Pokémon center here. I remembered collecting cards as a kid and enjoying it. I already spent about $200 in cards in a month, a binder, etc. and I realized I don't really enjoy collecting anything other than the original 151 (specifically the holos/shinys). I went into it with an "investor" mindset thinking I had time/energy to resell these cards for profit. That alone is making me lose interest in the hobby again. Long story short. I'm glad you stressed on the different aspects of collectors and maintaining focus on what's important. That hit home, resonates and will save me money in the long run. Thanks!

@LegendofLuke 4 месяца назад

I don't usually post comments but I really liked this video. You're very nice to listen to. And aren't shouting. Which lots of Pokemon RU-vidrs tend to do I've found haha. I'm trying to get back into the hobby as well. I'm trying to find my focus area a bit. But I'm not sure what I want yet. The gotta catch em all mentality is strong haha. I do enjoy opening packs. And I'd like to have lots of binders with cool art. So maybe I'll try to get all common and uncommon cards while I collect some current era sets like the upcoming 151. Cool video. I'm also thinking about maybe starting a channel in the future. Talk about the cards I like, what Pokemon's meant to me over the years. And maybe do some product openings. But I'm not sure if there's too many channels like that already. Anyway, keep it up!

I remember when I first started collecting again, the joy I had when I started buying some of my old cards. I spend so much money lol. Then I started spending more and more, but luckily I bought most of my collection in 2018-20 which saved me a TON of money. You can't get a 1st Ed Fossil Box for $1300 anymore 😂. Anyways, like most collectors, I've experienced everything you have said and its been quite a ride. Don't sell anything unless they are duplicates or you really need the money. Often times, its just not worth it and try to think outside the box and find unique ways to display your collection (such as glass cabinets, frames, stands, ect.). Happy Collecting!

I'm just getting back into collecting, precisely because nostalgia kicked me in the butt like a month ago and I kinda decided I wanted to get all my old cards back haha. I made the bad decision of giving away my whole collection out of pressure [and lowkey shaming] from my ex and a shared desire to go minimalist in 2015 or so... Quicky checked if cards had gained an interesting value with time, and it was (as I've recently learnt) the moment they were the cheapest... So, seeing it wasn't exactly interesting to start selling, I gave them all to the nearest thriftstore..... I had all a card from all 151 pokemon in gen 1 and had a fair amount of Johto 💔. It's been my biggest bad decision and regret since then. Anyyyyway. Beside biting my fingers right now,, I've been overwhelmed when discovering the whole new world of collecting Pokemon cards. So, all your tips are extremely useful for me. For instance, I really need to keep my focus in mind. Thanks for the reminder haha. Also props on your last comment. Gotta keep the fun part of collecting always on top! It's all fun and games (literally lol), until you stress over money.

The only reason I don’t go over there and try to trade them back is cuz they donated all of them to goodwill or something Man those cards were so mentally valuable. But I wanted good stats on them

When people say they're collecting a set, is a 'set' made up of several decks released under the same theme? Or is it a single old deck that you can't get hold of in full anymore? Are booster packs not just random cards from pre-built decks? I can't wrap my head around how collecting works 😅

@LegendofLuke 7 месяцев назад

A new “set” is released every few months, and it contains usually around 200+ new cards - so it is basically an expansion of the current playable cards in the TCG. The sets each have a name (“Paradox Rift” is the name of the one releasing this week), and they release several products with that name. Each product contains booster packs, which have a random chance of containing any of those 200+ new cards. When someone wants to collect or complete a “master set”, it means they are collecting all 200 or so of those cards. A “deck” is more of a players term, and not relevant to most collectors. They do sell some pre-made decks, but most players of the TCG construct their own deck using any of the cards that have been released in the past few years.

How can I make a profit as a Pokémon card dealer? Buying and selling?

Just bought my first starter deck for the first time in over two decades. I lost my old folder with the Pokémon cards from the 90s.

Awesome! Welcome back!

Tried to get back in to it but.. sets are coming way to fast.. and you have to spend so much to get a set complete these days.

@LegendofLuke 10 месяцев назад

It’s true, but that’s why I generally recommend creating some realistic goals based on what you enjoy the most. I personally don’t try to complete most modern sets. I just master-set the ones I like the most: 151, Hidden Fates, Evolutions, etc. And I also have a goal to complete the first 12 vintage sets, but that’s one I can work on slowly over time. There are a lot of ways to collect, and you don’t have to feel pressured to do it the way certain people do it. I would encourage you not to give up on it if it’s something you enjoy - just set some realizations goals and collect what you like!

@Legend of Luke hope you don't put your pokemon cards in pokemon trainer sleeve cuz i found out that they can ruin your pokemon cards and ruin the bottom of them when your putting them in

I don’t know if i should only keep valuable cards or try to complete an entire set

@LegendofLuke 11 месяцев назад

You should enjoy the hobby the way you like. Personally, I keep the valuable and non-valuable cards that I like. I do a few master sets, but only for certain sets (mostly vintage). What gets you excited about the hobby? I would start there.
