The title and thumbnail play a huge role, but honestly, we just want to see how real people in this hobby exit the 9 to 5 and run a successful business. Everyone dreams of doing it, but are scared and don't know how. It's not really about advice, but more a curiosity of how someone else is doing it. And your laid back and humble approach is refreshing to watch. Transparency goes a long way too. I like how you can show big numbers without bragging about it. I'm new to the channel, but I'll be sticking around. If I had a video request, it would be more stuff like this. Show how you do different things no matter how small.

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

appreciate the comment, i'll keep making a few of these over the next month, see how we go :)

@fargnbastage 10 месяцев назад

I like these longer style videos. I put it on either while I'm working or when playing a game. Works for me.

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

awesome, enjoy.

@skarsh98 10 месяцев назад

I think the reason people (or at least I did) started watching your video is because you're just a chill guy sharing your way of getting into the hobby and trying to make it into something more. No bs, just feels genuine. Also, you have a good podcast voice/vibe haha.. keep going bro :))

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

For sure, I have my faults I'm sure but if people get a benefit from these then there's no reason not to do them

@rendetion 10 месяцев назад

I love these types of videos because they work great to have on while I am sorting or pre-grading/condition checking cards.

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

Came across the video that popped and really enjoyed it. I don’t really collect pokemon anymore but still find my self watching the vids! 👍🏻

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

Awesome. Glad I could provide something of value to you

@The-Secret-Basement 10 месяцев назад

Love these long videos to play in the background while I sort cards and make listings. Recently started selling a lot more singles too and you're right about it being so much more fulfilling. It's much more of a time grind, but I find analyzing the singles much more interesting than graded cards. With graded it feels like everyone's sort of after the same high value cards and usually only purchasing one item at a time, but when someone buys mass singles from you and you see the type of collector they are, it just feels so much more wholesome and less money driven.

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

perfectly said, feels like you can connect between seller/collector rather than someone just buying a PSA 10 card for a few thousand, sure its monetary good, but empty feeling.

@vita123abc 10 месяцев назад

I just started watching and 10 minutes in I'm just amazed how nonchalantly you go through all the base holos and putting them in piles without any plastic sleeves on 🤣

@johnnyapplecity 10 месяцев назад

Listening to your videos while sorting cards is very carthartic.

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing but I'll take it

@GrumbleGamer18 10 месяцев назад

Kudos to you for sticking through the teasing and jokes. Collecting in this hobby alone, we’re always prone to that stuff; hell the roots of our hobby are surrounded by the bullied and the outcast. People forget just how much of a niche being a nerd used to be. But trying to make a business out of it still isn’t something people take seriously, so huge respect to you for sticking it out and reaping the benefits of your success 🙏 always great seeing your videos Steve

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

Haha its not that bad, I have a good life so no random comment is going to get me down, and my yt channel is for my enjoyment mainly, so it's not like its a dire need for it to be good

@TCV_Collectibles 10 месяцев назад

I like the long form content, I put it on when I’m cleaning the house or on the subway to work. I’m a collector and sell some on eBay nothing major. Buts it’s very cool and helpful to hear your stories and perspectives. I hope you become the king of plush in Australia!

@PortgazHyde 10 месяцев назад

Maybe I should buy a few smaller bulk to test the water here, the older card were sold for cents each but I think I could drive up the price for maybe 10 cents by using a cheap plastic sleeve so that it won't be damaged since a common with a good art is a good card.

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

for sure, lots of small dollars to be made

I think every collector should learn how to properly buy and sell cards its inportant so i think your information helps the whole hobby in a way

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

for sure, i think PSA 10 is easily obtainable, but for me i can just list the singles and sell them fast and do it that way, theres no perfect way to deal with anything :)

@legendofdawn213 10 месяцев назад

Not being able to take a compliment reflects an inability to acknowledge what makes you talented and unique (WHICH YOU DEFINITELY ARE). It's also a signal to others that you feel unworthy and insecure. Because if you don’t appear to believe in yourself, why should anyone else? @@PokemonSteven

@fargnbastage 10 месяцев назад

The best thing to remember and/or consider if you ever take a sponsorship is to only ever take one on if you've actually used the product and believe in it. But I agree, always best to just sponsor yourself. And there isn't anyone out there who is better than you who is charging money for what you give away for free. I also think the best way to learn is to just DO. Even someone listening to your videos and mistakes will only really learn how to sell cards and run a store successfully by actually doing it and learning from their mistakes.

@PokemonSteven 10 месяцев назад

strongly agree, but im fortunate enough not to need a monetary boost from my YT channel, so i can just be me for now.
