You are KILLING me as you talk under your desk 😂 please please please make more videos this fills me with JOY
😂
@@ancedrius4646 lol 😂
@@ancedrius4646 heck yeah we are!
I agree with you about the singles aspect of collecting. I think graded cards can be great in their own regard, but as a college student they’re often way too pricey for me to able to consistently afford. This isn’t all a bad thing though, since being able to binder certain cards in unique orders or patterns or pages is a great way for me to relieve anxiety and stress. I personally think singles are the best way to collect if you view the hobby as an outlet for stress/anxiety relief, which I personally do
Didnt know I would sit and listen to all of your rambling, but it was nice doing so while sorting bulk. As a new collector in modern time its really helpful to hear this. The hobby can be really confusing between aspects like grading, gambling, investing, collecting or just having a passion for certain cards.
I'm glad I found your channel. I'm getting back into pokemon cards for the first time sense I was a child and I really appreciate all of the base knowledge you provide just from your experiences. love the cozy vibes here, can't wait for more!
Please do more content when you can. I love watching your videos and listening to your ideas about Pokemon.
First time I've found your account and really enjoyed hearing you talk. You clearly have a rounded view of the hobby that is super valuable to the space. I find myself agreeing with a lot of what you're saying and learning new things aswell. I'll definitely need to seek out your articles 🙂
All the best for the festive season and 2024 🙂
I really like these kind of candid/unedited talks. It gives me the same feeling as talking to a stranger at a local who also has a genuine interest in the hobby.
'Theoretically ^^ theoretically' - sense of humor is spot on. :)
This and the last video were so refreshing. Just found you and this is so different from the dozens of other channels who just read tcgplayer prices or talk about which booster box to buy and stick in a closet. Keep it up! Love your energy.
just as I finished your last video i see this one pop up. Great to see your back and loving the videos so far and enjoying the more laid back approach keep it up
Lots of people have constant thoughts and processes going through their minds for a lot of different topics too. I find that I put it out there and say it out loud at home in private when I do chores or shower (work, life, opinions, etc.). Thank you for sharing so much on a hobby a lot of us enjoy.
Literally a perfect video to sit and listen to while I organize/binder my Pokémon card collection! Loved this vid
Love the video and love the content!!
One comment I will say about slabs: People do typical grade to sell but I like to do it just to completely seal the card and have it forever locked in its current condition. For example, I loved the Mewtwo promo from 151 UPC box and I had that graded. Even at a PSA 10 its not worth alot but currently I have that displayed in my office and I love looking it at!
I love your openness and how you talk about how people overly focusing on grading and making money can have bad effect in the hobby. I been in this hobby for a while now I have seen how when people get into those things in a bad way leads them to view the hobby in different ways and not appreciating the cards.
Great video, love how you rock your awkwardness! I tend to struggle with me being weird with words and stuff and you seem like to not care at all, which is awesome!
just started watching from your last video but really glad you're making content again, love it :)
I really resonated with what you said for being a species collector. At the end of 2022/beginning of 2023 I decided to become a Regi collector because they're honestly my favorite group of legendaries and they look really cool together. They're idk like a C or D tier in general popularity which does make more of their modern cards pretty easy to collect. The problem arises when I have to start looking at pre-gen 7 sets because majority of the cards reside in Gen 3 or 4 sets which are pretty hard to come by as singles and tend to be really expensive if they happen to be an EX or something of the like. With the cards I do have in my collection, it is very satisfying to see them together and I probably won't ever complete it unless I'm pretty lucky.
Eva!! This is Bruce from what not!! So glad you're youtubing again. Love this and proud of you for talking and just being yourself 🙏
I can’t speak for everyone but I found your articles on TCG player a couple months back. Was very excited to see you had a CZcams but it was inactive :( so you probably have a good amount of new subscribers such as myself!
Love the videos and articles keep it up!
Amazing vids. Hope u keep making these type
Also I personally have heavily invested in SM sets mainly HFs
& believe for SW&SH Champion Paths & evoking skies are best sealed investments
& anything SM/before that’s sealed product, imo is the best investments strategy. Even over singles
Awesome vid though. Keeping killing it sis
I found your channel yesterday and have been going through all your videos and you are so entertaining to listen to and watch!! Please keep making youtube videos!
I'm so glad! I appreciate that a lot :)
I'm not going to lie. You are a breath of fresh air to hear Pokemon TCG stuff from. I'm glad you put out this video it really help someone like me getting back into the collection game. Keep up the videos. Glad to have found your channel!
You got a lot more comfortable throughout this, I could tell. As someone who’s current favorite Poketuber is PK, I am a huge fan of this type of content. And I’m sure it is a lot easier to make, since there is virtually no editing involved. Make more!
as someone who likes peeking into other tcg's from a mtg player/collector perspective its always interesting to see the differences. I think grading is going to have its growing pains for yall but i think its going to be the way people are going to connect in the long run, its kinda crazy to think its non existent on our side of the tcg.
i really want to get to the point where my pokemon collecting hobby sorta helps fund itself. it seems like so many people are able to do that but i just cant. i barely make enough money to fund my hobby as is so its gotten to the point where the only things i buy are things that i never plan on selling and things that directly contribute to completing a certain part of my collection so i just dont really know what steps to take to get to that point. currently the collections i've been working on which are all purely 100% for my enjoyment and are not inherently investment collections are 1. every single alternate art (tag team-current), 2. every single full art trainer, every rayquaza card (my favorite mon), 3. every mega pokemon card, 4. every hgss era legend card, and 5. every "illustration rare" pokemon card going as far back as like xy era when they had all of those promo cards. and currently as of right now every single card i own is a card that i refuse to sell to contribute to buying other cards i want/"need" and i cant push myself to buy cards as investments because 1. i suck at knowing what to invest in and predicting what will appreciate in the future and 2. i'd much rather just use that money to go towards directly funding my next big purchase for the collections im working on. so i guess the point of this comment (if anyone has even read this far) is to ask what i could/should do to start getting to that point? how do i get to the point where i can comfortably grow my collection without breaking the bank and with being able to just offload stuff to go towards other stuff. its all super frustrating for me because there are so many cards that i want that would massively help fill these gaping holes in my binders but i just cant afford them and cant justify making a new gaping hole in another binder to fill the first hole
17:13 THIS IS MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE! you nailed it on the money.
Random ramblings are great! First time watcher. Thanks for the vid.
Miss quirky, wise, Entei lover in a box. You know, if you do these videos once a week, for 1 year. You will reach 50k-150k subscribers. Your thoughts about species collectors is spot-on. I don't really reveal this often, I am a cover art collector. If a pokemon is on the cover of a game, I collect all versions of them. Yvetal has been tricky as of late. I have a ton of Lugia, Ho-oh, Blastoise, Charizard... Oh and Eeveelutions... When I got an Eevee in pokemon red/blue, then found out at Celedon mall it said ABLE for all Fire, Water and Thunder stones, I was hooked. Really changed my excitement level in the game and replayability. Umbreon I loved for ages.. There, a rambling comment. Watched this with a friend and she also liked your style... Can you discuss some of the topics in detail you mentioned in this video? Now make that ad revenue ;) Subscribed.
Love your videos😄 keep it up😄and a merry Christmas to you🎄🎁⛄️
Lots of fun! Happy Holidays!!! Thanks for sharing!
Something that always blows my mind is some people can't have a discussion with themselves in their head
Today is literally my birthday 😭😭 Thank you and happy belated to you. I’m glad you’re making videos again!
you are what the pokemon youtube space needs rn
my son and I very much enjoy singles trade nights. It's fun to see what we want vs what they want and how it find unity in an ultimate trade where both are happy. I am starting to get into slabs, and enjoy value, population, etc can be tracked so i think we have found our own groove.
Hey Eva, your thoughts are so reflective and interesting to watch when you've been in the hobby for some time.
I've still not made up my mind on collecting and I've been collecting for five years, but I think that is okay. I have a melt down every month or so, cause I feel like I don't have it narrowed down enough, but I do love collecting and I'm selling stuff too, so it's all good.
So good to have you back.
It’s amazing how you’re so awkward and so many check in to watch your videos. You’re awesome. Thanks for coming back to share some of your thoughts. It’s a fun time.
Fun ramble. :) I LOVE collecting cards in PSA slabs and often grade them myself. Something about a minty card protected in a nice little display case just makes me happy. But the downside of it is I do get obsessive about condition. I often pull cards and lose the joy because it's not gradable. I think you make a good point on valuing a card regardless of its grading potential just because its an awesome card or you have the memory of pulling it yourself. :) I just sent in Paldean Fates Gardevoir SIR. I fully expect a PSA 9. But I was pretty stoked to pull that card and decided I just want to protect it in a slab for my personal collection because there is a nice memory attached to that card. :)
I will say on the subject of grading though. Part of what I like about grading is it adds a new rarity tier. For instance, modern cards have high pops but sometimes due to poor quality, getting a PSA 10 is hard. So it still provides a chase and effectively makes a card rare that really isn't. Take Paldean Fates Magikarp IR. There are probably a ton of copies of that out there and yet the PSA 10 pop is low because its so hard to grade that card. Gives the card an extra chase and makes it more rare than its pull rate.
I appreciate you being here as I clean out everything after Christmas. It was nice company. 😊
I 100000% agree with all of your points, and I have literally stopped grading for PC, I've started almost exclusively buying raw for my PC or buying 6-9 grades and cracking them out of plastic....I think the plastic revolution ( slabs ) is so out of hand and people are starting to feel that annoyance for sure.
I’d love if you had yugioh vids too! I’m actually primarily into yugioh but 151 got me dabbling in Pokémon again. There isn’t much out there on CZcams for yugioh from a collectors perspective
I agree on the cheaper slabs just not really feeling right. Ive been trying to focus more on the top hit type of cards. But its not a hard rule I also just grade the cards i think are really cool regardless of raw price
always enjoy ur vids glad ur back!
also do u always hide under ur desk 🤨
Its refreshing to hear more from a collector and person who loves the hobby
randomly found you today and listened to this whole thing
wow 2 videos in one week?? what a great way to end the year!
I'm on the singles train too and its all about the price for me. I love buying obscure / rare vintage non-english cards and character rare / alt arts, but the prices are insane.
So glad you are back...always an interesting listen.
Thank you for talking about species collecting. I collect Snorlax. 😊
Imagine if at some point during the talk - a face appeared on the other side of ventilation panel.
4. Signatures
Also "i like singles" immediatly crosses your arms haha (;
I graded most of my singles, now i have 5000 graded slabs.. I also used to do whatnot, ebay and table vending at events, but with fees and taxes, time and energy, you basically break close to even. you remind me of SMpratte because he just goes on about pkmn cards uncut and it's good content on the hobby.
Your points are valid and you're dang funny as well, subbed.
Im so happy ur back ive been missing ur content
I am definitely all over the place with my collecting, I do have specific pokemon I like to collect on top of my primary focus of collecting machamp cards
You are awesome please make more videos! I was wondering where you disappeared to since I hadn’t seen any notifications of your videos until I saw your other video a couple days ago..it’s been MONTHS 😨🤯
Mawile, Shedinja & Sableye species collector. not much to collect for them but always nice to find a card I don't have.
I did not realize Collecting your favorite Pokemon had a name/designation. "Species Collector". Very interesting to know. My favorite Species would be Tyranitar. Larvitar and Pupitar included. First time seeing your content. Thank u.
Glad to see you back!
Making us search our own answer instead of just giving us the answer…must be a teacher. Good for you for making people do their own work! Where’s the link for the podcast??
When I first got into collecting singles, I would go to this one card shop where they would look up prices and I would always be embarrassed when it was something that was out of my price range and had to say no thanks. I would almost pay slightly more for a pre priced card because it saves me time, and I know where I stand lol
Time = money
My sag !!!🎉🎉🎉 happy bday
I'm just happy you're back
Two videos back to back after 10 months off! 🔥
Glad you're back.
I'm just glad Yu-Gi-Oh got mentioned lol
I am a bit of a freak in that I have this compulsion to demand that my collectibles serve a secondary purpose; that purpose usually being as a game piece. I go out of my way to not buy slabs. :^( I often fantasize about putting cubes together out of my cute lil collection, or making a series of vintage decks etc etc...
To someone like myself, slabbing and grading is just a mechanism to inflate the value of the cards I want that I could get cheaper elsewhere.
Will you sell me that moonbreon? At a discount of course because it is OC. 😅😎. Great video. Thanks for sharing with all the poke fans.
I think everyone has a different way of collecting and I respect yours
I'm a species collector of the entire Sneasel family. I just bought the shiny ones from Shiny Treasure ex, probably going to grade those, I guess that would fall into that "not really warranting a grade" but to me it's just a nice collector piece. Probably not much of a competitive market for Sneasel, Weavile and Sneasler, but they're my favourite pokemon.
Also regarding what you said about people buying to grade and resell, I pulled the alt art Umbreon V and after I sold it, the guy sent it back because it wasn't going to be a 10 grade. This "10 or worthless" mentality is not healthy
love the vid :)
Me and my partner are species collectors and competitive players and i like to collect magnemite line and they like to collect the sobble line
That was the most video ever!
"You need help " says the person doing a video under a desk, lmao
I’m a big fan of the use of the word “ick”.
Pulling moonbreon is crazy congrats babygirl ❤❤❤❤
No edit content best content. Maybe live rambles next?
I'm an oil painter but I don't sell all my works. I would rather have the art than some lunch money. Like that celebi slab you stepped on lol
I collect Kingra especies! Have them all (English thought, missing the 2 VS japanese ones :p)
I have a vintage pop 1 Entei with water damage and 25% of the card rotted away. It fascinates my 7 yr old
woooo rambling videos! also nice new haircut!
I enjoyed listening to your Pokémon thoughts
Cool discussion
I tried collecting sealed pokemon card products. Thats when I discovered I can't go to sleep knowing there is sealed pokemon cards in my house.
Your new look 👑
Dang, 1 take too. This would've taken me 18 tries
Bruh.. No wonder I haven't been able to find the cute nerdy females.. They're hiding under their desk lol
Totodike is my favorite starter
Really well said
I'm a species collector and I collect shroomish and breloom XD
Sorry to invade your space while you were totally nonchalantly sitting under your desk 😢
Crusty top loaders…. 😂 that just means you enjoy and actually look at your cards!
So what if I like sneezes?
I think it’s time for a podcast 😂
this is very soothing somehow. kinda moe
my birthday is dec 10th!
😊
Best ramble
Shiny koffing is my favorite Pokémon
Shirt ❤
