THE TRUTH About Allocations for Pokemons 30th Celebration Set!
updated
Hidden Fates is quite possibly the most possible Pokemon Card Set that has ever been released. Massive amounts of reprints could not slow down demand for this popular set as Pokemon Card Fans flooded to the stores trying to get a chance to pay MSRP for Hidden Fates.
An extremely large reprint slowed down demand as Pokemon Card Fans were hit with an overwhelming supply. However, with the secondary Pokemon Card Market still extremely high for Hidden Fates Booster Packs, it was tough for even the Most Degenerate Pokemon Card Collector to rip Hidden Fates packs.
Many Hidden Fates singles were trending down throughout most of 2023. This has changed quite a bit over the past 6 moths as some of the most popular shiny Pokemon Cards have started seeing strong gains. Is it too late to find cheap Hidden Fates Pokemon cards? Let's talk about it!

Several months ago, The Pokemon Company International hinted during their Pokemon Presents that Mega Pokemon may make a return to the Pokemon Trading Card Game. The return of Pokemon Card EXs during the Scarlet and Violet generation seemed to be well received by Pokemon fans after their experience with GX and V Pokemon. However, during the past several months, we have yet to see much Pokemon News drop regarding the potential return of Megas.
With the Pokemon Card Market fluctuating recently, I wanted to take a look at the performance of some of the more popular Mega Pokemon Cards over the past year. This mechanic was enjoyed during it's competitive days, but will it still be popular if Mega Pokemon were to return to the Pokemon Trading Card Game today? Let's talk about it!

The Scarlet and Violet Generation of Pokemon Cards has been looked down upon by many Pokemon Card collectors for quite some time. Ever since it's release, Scarlet and Violet Pokemon Cards have faced criticism for bein too easy to pull with lackluster artworks.
However, a lot of this has recently changed. Following the dramatic price increases of many Sword and Shield Pokemon Card Sets, it was only a matter of time before a Scarlet and Violet Set popped off. Paldea Evolved just happened to be that Pokemon Card Set that created quite a bit of stir in the Pokemon Card Market. After that, we started seeing increases in many Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rares. Is this just the beginning for Scarlet and Violet Era Pokemon Cards? Let's talk about it!

In today's video, we continue to take a look at Sealed Pokemon Collecting with a look on Sword and Shield era Booster Boxes.
With Pokemon Booster Boxes going out of stock on the Pokemon Center Website, we have seen extremely large price jumps from sets like Astral Radiance, Chilling Reign, Fusion Strike, Brilliant Stars, and Lost Origin.
This price growth isn't necessarily typical for Pokemon Cards, but the demand for these Pokemon Booster Boxes doesn't seem to be settling down any time soon. Will these Pokemon Boxes continue to grow in price? Let's talk about it!

Pokemon Booster Boxes have been making a lot of headlines over the past few months. With all the focus on Investing in Pokemon Cards and tons of Pokemon Card Collectors paying attention to the money side of the hobby, we have seen quite a few price gains in booster boxes across the board.
The idea of investing in sealed Pokemon Cards has taken on a new light recently and it seems that many Pokemon Card fans have made a transition into how they spend their collection dollars. In today's video we take a look at booster boxes from the Sun and Moon era. With popular sets like Ultra Prism, Cosmic Eclipse, and Team Up, as well as sets containing beautiful Alternate Arts, it will be very interesting to see how Sword and Shield era booster boxes compare over time to these boxes. Do you think continued growth from Pokemon Boxes can be expected? Let's talk about it!

Pokemon 151 is arguably the most hyped and in demand Pokemon TCG Set that has been released in the Scarlet & Violet Generation. Releasing only 1 year ago, Pokemon 151 sent frustration through the Pokemon Card community with prices starting out at over double MSRP prior to release. Without a promised reprint, Pokemon 151 continued gaining steam and soon rose to over $200 per booster box.
The release of Scarlet and Violet 151 in English slowed things down somewhat, but with the Masterball Reverse Holo that was guaranteed in every box of Pokemon 151, many Pokemon Card collectors preferred the chase of the Japanese Set as opposed to it's English equivalent.
Finally, Pokemon 151 received reprints which really caused a huge shift in the market. Thanks to tons of additional supply hitting the Pokemon market, Pokemon 151 has shrunk down to levels of near MSRP for a booster box. Does it finally make sense to open up booster boxes of Pokemon 151? Let's talk about it!

The Sword and Shield Era of Pokemon Cards has been absolutely crazy over the past several months. With their age now passing what is expected of the Pokemon Card Reprint Window, sets from the back half of Sword and Shield have really started taking off, flying in price past MSRP.
Chilling Reign, Fusion Strike, Lost Origin, Astral Radiance, and Brilliant Stars all recently went out of stock on the Pokemon Center website resulting in huge price spikes and plenty of attention from various influencers and Pokemon Card Collectors. With Pokemon Card Reprints being unexpected for Sword and Shield era sets, it seems we have fallen to the last survivor from the Sword and Shield Block - Silver Tempest. Will Silver Tempest Booster Boxes be the next to see a sudden surge in price? Let's talk about it!

Nintendo and the Pokemon Company International have done an okay job over the past few years of releasing information pertinent to the amount of Pokemon Cards in existence. While they have provided us with print numbers of Pokemon Cards, they have failed to provide us with information pertaining to what makes a Pokemon Card? Are Energy Cards or Code Cards included in their print totals? While Pokemon Card Collectors can only speculate how many Pokemon Cards are in existence, we can provide some information for ourselves when it comes to Pokemon Card Pull Rate numbers.
Unfortunately, the only way to gather Pokemon Pull Rates is to open up a bunch of packs to determine how each rarity unfolds as far as the probability of pulling said rarity. Since we can go so far to assume that Pokemon prints each rarity equally, this will give us an accurate understanding of how hard it is to pull an individual card from each rarity.
Sadly, this information can only take us so far. Print numbers and print runs would provide us with additional information on how many of a specific card are in existence, but since those numbers are kept hidden, the best thing we can do to determine how rare a Pokemon Card is, is by utilizing pull rate numbers. In this video, we break down Pokemon Card Pull rates for the Trainer Gallery subsets to determine the probability of pulling a specific and Unique Trainer Gallery Pokemon Cards. Are these harder to pull than Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rares in the Scarlet and Violet Gen? Let's find out!

Evolving Skies is quite possibly the most popular Pokemon Card Set, not just in modern history, but all time. Filled with incredibly popular Pokemon and stunning Alternate Arts, Evolving Skies has been searched out at retail stores ever since release with products being ripped open constantly. Even with multiple reprints, The Pokemon Company has had an impossible time trying to keep up with demand from Evolving Skies.
The Sword and Shield generation has been filled with many amazing and popular sets. However, each of these sets can still be found fairly easily for below MSRP pricing. Evolving Skies however continues to be the exception. With Booster Boxes now approaching $700 and loose booster packs now around $12.50, it has gotten to the point where it makes extremely little sense to open Evolving Skies. The chase of pulling one of the Alternate Art VMAXs may still interest some, however the law of averages make it almost impossible for the Average Pokemon Card Collector to enjoy opening Evolving Skies at all.
In today's video, we beak down Pokemon Card Pull Rates for Evolving Skies and associate prices with each pull. We then calculate the average value you are expected to obtain out of a booster box of Evolving Skies and a booster pack of Evolving Skies. Have Evolving Skies Pokemon Cards become out of reach for the average Pokemon Collector? Let's talk about it!

The Scarlet and Violet Generation of Pokemon Cards came out almost a year ago and was immediately met with disappointment from the Pokemon Card community. The inability to resonate with the new Pokemon and the easy Pokemon Card Pull Rates made many Pokemon Card collectors continue their focus on Sword and Shield and they stayed away from opening Pokemon Cards from Scarlet & Violet.
However, it seems that interest has started to reform over the past several months. Pokemon released Scarlet and Violet 151 which helped many Pokemon Card Collectors return to opening packs. Then, Pokemon decided to change pull rates on new Pokemon Card sets re-establishing a chase for those Pokemon Card fans who desired the hunt. This, coupled with Sword & Shield greatly increasing in price, has drawn many Pokemon Card Collectors back in to the Scarlet and Violet Generation. This renewed hype has caused many Special Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards to skyrocket in price as demand has returned. Will these prices continue to climb? Let's talk about it!

Pokemon Card Pull Rates have been studied since the release of the first ever Pokemon Card. Trying to determine the rarity of a card or the amount of Pokemon Cards in existence has been broken down by Pokemon Card Fans and Enthusiasts trying to get a good understanding on how many of a specific Pokemon Card exist.
This information is important to a Pokemon Card collector because it informs us just how rare a specific Pokemon Card is. Rarity is important because based on demand, it can greatly impact the Pokemon Card Price. Collectors focus on cards that have harder rarity, because it makes them feel like they own something that few others have.
Pokemon Card pull rates have often times been consistent within each generation. However, Scarlet & Violet seems to have made significant changes in the middle of the generation. The question is, why? Why would Pokemon change pull rates and impact rarities of their Pokemon Card Releases? In today's video, we breakdown and uncover these pull rates, as well as explain the possible reasoning behind the shift in rarity pull rates pertaining to Pokemon Cards.

The Scarlet & Violet Generation of Pokemon Cards has been out for just around a year and a half at this point and it seems that finally, Pokemon Card Fans are starting to take notice of the set.
With prices skyrocketing on Sword & Shield Pokemon Cards, specifically Alternate Art Pokemon Cards, it seems Pokemon Fans have started paying attention to cheaper alternatives. While Sword & Shield Sealed Product continues to thrive, Scarlet & Violet Booster Boxes have remained under the $100 threshold...until recently.
Paldea Evovled was the latest victim to hit recent buyouts on TCGPlayer as Paldea Evovled Booster Boxes have soared to new heights. With no Pokemon Card Reprints announced as of yet, sealed product has slowly been inching upwards in the Scarlet & Violet Generation. With Pokemon Card Pull Rates also changing, many Pokemon Card fans have started focusing on adding their favorite Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rares, causing prices to skyrocket and cards like Magikarp, Tyranitar, and Raichu. Will Paldea Evolved continue to climb? Will Pokemon Reprints soon save us? Let's talk about it!

Promo Pokemon Cards have been around almost since the beginning of Pokemon. With their original debut happening during the release of the first Pokemon Money, Pokemon Promo Cards have been an additional item that Pokemon Card Fans can collect which have a bit more of an "exclusivity" feel to them.
Throughout the years, Promo Pokemon Cards have really evolved. They used to be something that was only handed out with the release of a significant event, and now are included in tons of various collection boxes, 3 pack blisters, tins, and more. Despite their more common nature, Pokemon Card Promos provide an additional option for Pokemon Card Hobbyists to collect an enjoy.
Values and Prices on these Pokemon promo cards are still relatively small for many of the older promo cards, but some of the new ones can be quite expensive. Special Delivery Bidoof, Charizard, Pikachu, and even Pikachu with the Grey Felt Hat have caused a lot of chaos in the Pokemon Card Community over the past few years - both good and bad.

Scarlet and Violet 151 is arguably the most popular and in demand set of the Scarlet and Violet Generation. Ever since it's debut in Japan as Pokemon 151, Pokemon Card Fans from all over the world have been scrabling to find various Pokemon Card products of 151 to rip open and enjoy.
However, as time has gone by and demand has continued, supply of Scarlet & Violet 151 has slowly diminished. With Pokemon Card fans still very interested in opening Pokemon 151, the struggle has been finding product as store shelves are starting to grow empty. Distributors have ben able to provide small amounts of Scarlet & Violet 151, but even those avenues are starting to dry up.
With dwindling stock, many Pokemon Card fans are beginning to wonder when a Pokemon 151 reprint will be coming for English Pokemon Cards. However, we still have yet to receive a Scarlet and Violet 151 reprint announcement. Because of low stock, Scarlet & Violet 151 sealed product has seen steady gains over the last 6 months. Will these prices continue to climb? Let's talk about it!

Opening Pokemon Cards can be a ton of fun. However, when prices for Pokemon Card Booster Packs become double to triple MSRP, it is much more difficult to enjoy the opening, especially when Pokemon Card Pull Rates can be so difficult.
Pokemon introduced a new rarity - the Trainer Gallery in the back half of Sword and Shield Sets. This made opening popular sets like Brilliant Stars and Lost Origin so much more enjoyable because you felt like you get more bang for your buck. However, these changes came too late to impact popular sets like Fusion Strike, Chilling Reign and Evolving Skies.
With Evolving Skies Booster Packs now selling for over $10, Pokemon Card Collectors have moved on to opening cheaper sets in order to find their enjoyment. However, we have been running really hot opening Evolving Skies Booster Packs and have pulled 4 Alternate Arts in our last 60 booster packs.
In today's video, we see if our hot streak continues and take the gamble in hopes to continue to pull fire by opening up 36 booster packs of Evolving Skies. Does our Alternate Art Luck continue? Let's find out!

Twilight Masquerade Pokemon Cards came out just 1 short week ago. Filled with amazing Illustration Rares and some highly demanded Special Illustration Rares, Twilight Masquerade was expected to make an impact on the Pokemon Card Market.
However, with Pokemon Card Pull Rates struggling again much like they did with Temporal Forces many Pokemon Card Collectors have been super disappointed with their inability to pull one of their chase cards. These Poor Pull Rates have also lead to Pokemon Card Buyouts impacting some of the Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rares of the set.
It is extremely important to remember not to FOMO when collecting Pokemon Cards. The Pokemon Card Market is extremely cyclical and weird Pokemon price changes like these happen every set. Can we expect a cyclical nature of Twilight Masquerade when it comes to Pokemon Card Prices? Let's talk about it!

We have talked about supply and demand in the Pokemon Card Market a lot throughout the past couple of years. With Pokemon continuing to maintain a ton of demand, Pokemon Card Collectors continue to stock up on various releases. However, this isn't always the smartest decision when it comes to Pokemon Card Collecting.
The focus of this video revolves around liquidity in the Pokemon Card Market. With so many Pokemon Cards currently in existence, and the Pokemon Company releasing what seems to be a new collection box or tin every week, it is extremely important to stick to items that are extremely liquid, and Pokemon sealed items that you enjoy.
The Eeveeloutions Vmax Premium Collection boxes are a good example of an extremely liquid item that has seen massive growth over the past couple of months. The same can be said for the Charizard Ultra Premium Collection. Are these Sealed Pokemon Products falling victim to buyouts? Or are we looking at a market correction on an extremely liquid item? Let's talk about it.

The last few months have seen some insane growth when it comes to Pokemon Card Prices. Sword and Shield era booster boxes began getting tons of attention and ignited a rewed interest in Pokemon Card Collecting. After Pokemon Card Booster Boxes, it seemed it was time for Alternate Art Pokemon Cards to see giant price growth. Several of these Pokemon Cards saw double digit price growth over the span of just a couple of months with some of them even doubling in price.
As it became harder and harder to find Sword and Shield era products, it seems Pokemon Card Collectors have now transitioned their focus to some areas of the Scarlet and Violet Generation. Many Illustration Rare and Special Illustration Rares are also garnering a lot of attention over the past couple months with some of them almost doubling in price. These Pokemon Card price gains coupled with Competitive Pokemon Cards reaching new heights has the Pokemon Card Market going completely crazy! Is there an end in sight? Let's talk about it!

After nearly 3,000 booster packs of Twilight Masquerade Pokemon Cards we still continue to be missing 1 single card.
This Pokemon Card is extremely important because it is the last card we need to finish off the Twilight Masquerade Master Set. The Special Illustration Rare Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon continues to avoid us. With Pokemon Card Pull Rates changing over the past couple of sets, Special Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards have become increasingly more difficult to pull. However, even with Twilight Masquerade Pull Rates being difficult, we still have pulled multiple copies of ever other Special Illustration Rare.

Today is the release of the brand new Pokemon Card Set - Twilight Masquerade!
Twilight Masquerade features many different Special Illustration Rares like various Ogerpons, Carmine, Perrin and More. It also features possibly our best Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards featuring Eevee, Hisuian Growlithe, Chansey, Tatsuguri, and many others.
Despite it's stunning artwork, Pokemon seems to have continued the trend of mixing up Pokemon Card Pull Rates for the Scarlet and Violet Generation. Twilight Masquerade Pull Rates seem very close to those of Temporal Forces which is far worse than what we have been accustomed to during the SV Block. While you still get plenty of hits in a booster box, pulling the higher rarity cards like Special Illustration Rares and Hyper Rares seems to be more difficult than ever, leaving Pokemon Card Collectors with the safer avenue of buying Pokemon Card Singles rather than opening Twilight Masquerade Booster Packs.
Will these pull rates deter you from opening Twilight Masquerade Pokemon Cards? Let's talk about it!

Twilight Masquerade is the Newest Pokemon Card Release and is expected to hit store shelves on May 24, 2024. This set is loaded with some of the most amazing Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards we have ever seen in a Pokemon Card Set. However, despite the amazing artworks, Twilight Masquerade Pull Rates continue to decline in the Scarlet and Violet Generation.
Beginning with Temporal Forces, Pokemon Card Pull Rates seemed to change. No longer were you basically guaranteed a Hyper Rare or Special Illustration Rare Pokemon Card in your Booster Box. Instead, it seems that roughly half of the Pokemon Card Booster Boxes that are opened contain neither a Hyper Rare or Special Illustration Rare. These poor pull rates make it extremely difficult to obtain a Twilight Masquerade Master Set and make it much more advantageous for a Pokemon Card Collector to focus on singles rather than opening up sealed Pokemon product.
In this video, we reveal the Twilight Masquerade hits we pulled out of 20 different booster boxes. Is it a smart idea for a Pokemon card Store to open up Pokemon Cards prior to a set release? Let's talk about it!

Every new set release, we open up thousands of booster packs of Pokemon Cards in order to stock our website with singles for people who would prefer buying Pokemon Cards to Pokemon sealed product. While we are opening, we typically put togeter a few Master Sets of the newest release, 1 to give away, and 1 for our Personal Collection.
Throughout the Scarlet and Violet Generation, most sets have taken between 1,200 and 1,500 Pokemon Card Booster Packs to complete a Master Set, with the exception of Obsidian Flames which was incredibly easy.
However, things changed completely with the release of Temporal Forces. Pokemon Card Pull Rates became much more difficult ast Hyper Rares and Special Illustration Rares seemed increasingly more difficult to pull. Temporal Forces took over 1,800 packs to Master. However, nothing has compared to the Twilight Masquerade Master Set. With Twilight Masquerade Pull Rates continuing to be as difficult as Temporal Forces, and variance playing a huge impact on our Master Set chase, we have finished opening Twilight Masquerade Pokemon Card Product at 2,400 Booster Packs...and we are still missing 1 card.
Should you stick to buying Pokmeon Card singles for this set? Let's talk about it!

The Pokemon Card Market has changed a lot over the past several years. Before the Panemic, Pokemon Card Store Owners would find themselves only focusing on Booster Boxes to stock their shelves and rarely would order Pokemon Card Tins or Collection Boxes. However, with the Pokemon Company printing more and more cards over the last several years, we have seen a giant increase in variety of products being released.
Over the past month, popularity for the Sword and Shield Generation of Pokemon Cards has seen a major increase. While Scarlet and Violet continues to pump out new sets filled with stunning artwork, the Pokemon Card Prices for Sword and Shield era cards are climbing to new highs almost daily. At the same time, what seemed like an endless supply of Sword and Shield Booster Packs are slowly starting to dwindle. What Pokemon Card Products are still available for order from Distribution? Let's take a look!

Congratulations to @vivianhek9562! You are the winner of all of our Twilight Masquerade Pulls from last Friday’s video! Please send me an email at dannyphantumpcontent@gmail.com
My journey in the Pokemon Trading Card Game has not been one that would be defined as normal. Like many Pokemon Card Collectors, I fell in love with the Pokemon TCG when I was much younger. I would rip open packs whenever I could afford them and would do extra chores around the house in hopes that I could earn a booster pack. I loved ripping packs and collecting Pokemon Cards. While it was fun pulling a chase holographic rare, just the artwork and filling up my binder meant the world to me.
As I got older I stayed involved in the Pokemon Card Community. My friends dropped the hobby so I had to look online at various forums to find people to discuss common interests when it came to Pokemon Card Collecting. This passion continued throughout the ex era and finally died off right around Heart Gold Soul Silver.
The passion returned in the Black and White Generation when I started looking through my old cards. The flame was reignited and I started focusing more around competitive Pokemon Cards. I traveled to different leagues and learned the game to the point where I felt comfortable attending State Tournaments and Regional Tournaments. Pokemon Cards became a huge part of my life and saved me through a bunch of difficult times.
As I continued to get older, it became more and more difficult to attend Pokemon Card events. In order to stay involved in the Pokemon Card Hobby, I decided to open a Pokemon Card Store. Never did I imagined that things would turn into what they have become. In this video, we show a little bit more of an in-depth look behind the scenes of what running a Pokemon Card business has turned into.

Twilight Masquerade is the Newest Pokemon Card Main Series Set and is scheduled to release on Friday, May 24, 2024. This set is chalked for with some amazing Pokemon Cards from a competitive standpoint, and features some of the most incredible Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards we have ever seen.
While the Special Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards seem to be lacking a bit in Twilight Masquerade, I was still extremely excited to rip into it. Pokemon Card Pull Rates have created quite the stir in the Pokemon Card Community ever since the release of Temporal Forces. With pull rates becoming more difficult for Special Illustration Rares and Hyper Rares, I was extremely interested in cracking some packs to see if these changes stayed consistent with Twilight Masquerade Pokemon Cards, or if pull rates went back to how they used to be.
In today's video, we take our first look at Twilight Masquerade Pull Rates by ripping open an entire case of Twilight Masquerade Booster Boxes. This is the equivalency of 216 Twilight Masquerade Booster Packs and will give us a good start on our Twilight Masquerade Master Set. Do Pull Rates seem consistent with Temporal Forces? Let's take a look!

The Pokemon Card Market has seen some pretty massive growth over the past few months. Alternate Art Pokemon Cards and Sealed Pokemon Booster Boxes are currently sitting at record highs and it seems almost every day, a new Pokemon Card or Pokemon Sealed Product goes through a buyout. These price hikes have caused quite a few headaches for Pokemon Card Collectors as they struggle to finish off Master Sets with fear of getting priced out continuing to be an issue.
Rainbow Rare Pokemon Cards have also seen some crazy growth numbers over the past few months. Popular Sword and Shield sets such as Evolving Skies, Lost Origin, and even Astral Radiance have been impacted greatly by these buyouts and many popular Pokemon Cards which also have Alternate Arts, are seeing insane gains as the Market continues to confuse itself. With Pokemon no longer making Rainbow Rare Pokemon Cards, is it possible that we will see more Pokemon Cards impacted in the near future? Let's talk about it!

It is hard to believe, but Crown Zenith Pokemon Cards first made their debut 16 months ago. Beginning with the release of the Crown Zenith Elite Trainer Box, Crown Zenith featured stagnant releases of Pokemon Cards for several months driving the prices down for both Pokemon Card Singles and Pokemon Card Sealed Product. Coupled with a massive Crown Zenith ETB reprint, these Pokemon Cards continued to trend downward for the majority of their first year in the Pokemon card Market.
However, things have changed quite a bit so far in 2024. Many of the Crown Zenith Alternate Art Pokemon Cards started seeing some growth earlier this year, and with the recent boom in the Pokemon Card Market over the past couple of months, many areas of Crown Zenith have followed suit. Many Crown Zenith sealed products and singles have experienced some strong growth over the past couple of months and are continuing to trend in the upper direction. Will Crown Zenith Pokemon Cards continue to see growth in the future? Let's talk about it!

The Pokemon Card Market has seen some pretty massive growth over the past couple of months both in Sealed Pokemon Cards and Single Pokemon Cards. With Alternate Art Pokemon Cards exploding in price and Sword and Shield era booster boxes going out of stock on the Pokemon Center Website, we have seen cards and booster boxes over double in price in many different areas.
However, it doesn't seem like it is just Alternate Art Pokemon Cards having huge impacts on the Pokemon Card market. A select group of Trainer Gallery Pokemon cards have also seen some explosive price growth over the past couple of months that doesn't seem to be entirely organic. Will we see other Trainer Gallery Pokemon Cards follow suit? Let's talk about it!

Over the past weekend I spend 3 days vending the Pokemon Card Regional Tournament in Indianapolis Indiana. I have had a Pokemon Card Booth at Regional Tournaments in the past, but I had no idea what to expect heading into this one.
The growth of the Pokemon Trading Card Game just over the past year has been absolutely tremendous and this event featured the largest attendance number Pokemon has ever seen. With almost 5,000 attendees between players, collectors, and spectators, I was a bit uncertain as to how I wanted to stock my booth.
In the end, after 3 grueling days, I had the time of my life. I sold a lot of cards, and bought a ton more. In today's video, we take a look at some of the Pokemon Cards I purchased - totaling over $30,000! Let's take a look!
