  • I get questions all the time asking me how much money is needed to start a business in the Pokemon TCG. Whether you are looking to do this as a side gig to make some extra cash, or looking to build an empire in the Pokemon TCG, I break down the answers in this video!

    You have such great knowledge about how to run a business. I’ve never heard a person in this type of business going this deep into the mechanisms of the economics behind it. You clearly know what it takes to be successful in this business and it seems like it has paid off immensely. The part that is most encouraging is that you aren’t afraid to share this information with others trying to get into the game. Stay on your grind bro. These videos are amazing.

    Hey man, I really enjoy your videos and they inspire me to give this a shot. There is so much to it behind the scenes im sure, it would be great if you made a "day in the life of a tcg seller" or something like that, vlog style video just going through the mundane things that you dont normally see that goes on behind the scenes.

    Just started watching your videos tonight and you're doing great! Long time collector and competitive player. I can relate heavily with having to sell your collection for a down payment on a home (did that a couple years ago myself) and with how ridiculous the Pokemon market is right now I just have to take my hobby to the next level.
    What I've watched so far gives me a ton of insight and it's greatly appreciated. Really look forward to your future videos. Keep it up!
