dude not gonna lie, even tho i am a grown adult this is a nice reminder how to put things into perspective in what i need to know and do before going to a card convention. And this is really good for anyone knew into the scene so they can go in confidently and wiith a good head on their shoulders in trying to get everything they want or getting the most within their budget. Love the videos man, hope i get to purchase from you some day at a con

Dude this is incredibly helpful and such a relevant video. As someone just coming back into tcg’s after like a 15 year hiatus, I went to a con a few months ago and was completely overwhelmed with all of the different vendors and variety of cards themselves. I was constantly stepping aside to check the value on cards to not overspend and was so intimidated. This kind of video reminds me of why RU-vid rocks with connecting people with content that answers questions we didn’t even know we had. Thanks alot man!

@yura37 Месяц назад

i went to my first show(mid-atlantic sports card show) last weekend with the goal to only buy. it was fun but i really need to pay the extra $8 and go early next time, not so much for the deals but because the place was PACKED. there were only 8 tables of pokemon but each one had a crowd the whole time. the weather was bad, raining and hot, so the place felt like a very smelly sauna by noon. did manage to drop $4k on BBs and slabs i wanted, and looking at market prices with tax and all i got well over $5k of value, so its 100% worth it to go. got a case of fusion strike for 1300!

@jjcmend 3 месяца назад

Hey man. Love your videos! It’s actually the reason why I’m going to go to some local card shows soon. Question as a buyer. I fully understand vendors need to make a profit at these events. What can I expect to negotiate to pay for cards based on what I see for recent eBay sales on PriceCharting? Near the same? A few percent lower because no 13% eBay fees? Just looking for a fair win-win. Thanks!

@TheBulbaStore 3 месяца назад

Depends on the card really. More desirable cards are less likely to get crazy deals. I’d say if you find 10% under market that’s a solid score

Hey Brotha! great job on the videos! loved ur Collect-a-con vids, Just wondering if there was a vid or plan for a vid on how u got started? I just got back into TCG buying/reselling, my pokemon collection is small, about$2000 total currently, Im trying to become an event Vendor, aside from having a sellers permit, I was wondering what other steps i should take to be prepared, should i keep working on growing my small inventory? buy more lots? as a vendor do u get access to Distros? or is it Direct Buy? Sorry, I know its a lot of questions, I just really liked how honest ur being and would love some feedback from ya!

Hey I just wanted to say your channel is amazing I was born in 1991 and we obviously did not know that Pokémon as kids was gonna blow up like it did Now I am getting back into the hobby, is collecting cards and videos like these help me out very much It makes me feel not left out as a new buyer, and from your other videos, you seem like a fair seller I’m not exactly targeting the basic from my childhood, but I want to learn and grow in this community because everyone is a lot more accepting than back then To those who read this comment, I wish you nothing but positivity and luck and your card collecting journey

@lunisic 6 месяцев назад

Bumping the algorithm ❤ love the channel and the vendor pov's just got back into the hobby. Havent collected since i was a kid, my son has done it the past couple years but the 151 series pulled me back in. I decided im only doing psa cards and i just got my first one its a marill holo from the japanese southern islands set in a 9. For the moment anyway i figured id seek out 9's and save myself quite a bit of $ while still getting a mint card 🤷‍♂️

@gilbertofigueroa4954 6 месяцев назад

One question bro, would you buy graded cards from a new certification company other than PSA or CGC? I ask because here in Mexico it is a bit complicated to grade them, but a new Mexican company has just come out that grades cards, but it doesn't give me much confidence in the future. What's your professional opinion???

@TheBulbaStore 6 месяцев назад

Better to just keep them raw. I stick with psa mainly

@gekhang 6 месяцев назад

How do you make money buying at 80% tho? Everyone will always want a cut on it. You buy a card at 200. And it sells for $240-250 all day long. They are going to hit you at 200 right away, you try and negotiate and probably land around $225-230. Then if they want to buy with a credit card, that eats away about $7 already. I noticed when i went to KC collect a con, almost all vendors were stickered really high and wont sell at comps. Only a few were willing to work with you.

@TheBulbaStore 6 месяцев назад

I usually only buy at 80% for stuff I’d want or wouldn’t mind keeping. Usually it’s more 70% for smaller things and 75% for larger things. Depends how I’m feeling about the item though really
