The organization of these drove me nuts but everyone has their own way of organizing their collection, that's part of the fun so, thanks for sharing what a beast of a collection you have.
Love this ! Most collection videos are 'hey look at these slabs of cards' which, also very cool, but it was great seeing all the cards that you've actually played + have an emotional connection to. Seeing damaged cards that are still a beloved part of a collection A++
I love that you genuinely love the cards from growing up, collecting, and playing. Especially the playing. Sure, the cards can make you some good money but it's so nice to see you appreciate them for what they are for- playing. I hope you play for years and years. Much love to you two. ♥️
I was really wondering, how do you keep track of whose cards are whose??? Like does dad come separate you and take the cards when you're fighting over whose is what? Are you going to get a Poké-lawyer to catalog and write a pre-nup for all 50 million of your cards? Who gets the house/cards/kids down the road if you split? Yeah I mean unless you have an indelible emotional memory footprint for every card (which if known would massively increase your rep as Pokémon masters), having your cards mixed together seems like a super dicey situation 🤣
@@michaelallenyarbrough9503 really pretty personal man like I know some people who split but still lived together in the same house but other than that why was that on your mind and not oh wow these guys kept there collection from their child hood and there dad or mom didn't sell it at a yard sale but you kind of people just need to shut your trap
Your collection is amazing, especially love how you still have decks from different eras of the TCG. You are literally a living museum, props man! You also inspired me to start making my own “cube” so thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome collection bro! Just started collecting again maybe 2 months ago when I saw the prices of some gold star cards I used to have as a kid over a decade ago. Man did this video take me back... Keep it up!
Back in 2010 I decided to obtain one 1st Ed. pack of each of the WotC sets since I already owned 1st Ed. Base and Neo Destiny packs (the hardest to find). Jungle-Gym Challenge were $8 each, Neo Genesis was $18, Neo Discovery was $11, Neo Revelations was $12. 1st Ed. Base and Neo Destiny cost about $70 and $18 respectively. If I had a time machine I know how I'd make my fortune haha!
Dude this video was so fun to watch. Love hearing how deep your enthusiasm for the game runs. I’ve always wondered what kind of heat you were packing in your binders. The gold stars are just amazing. I feel like I know you a little bit better now!
By the way, since you like Dark Blastoise so much I have a Dark Blastoise box topper from a Legendary Collection booster box if you’re interested in trading something for it! It’s MP but if you’re at all interested I can send pics!
Oh my, you mentioned Rayboar and that was my first ever most favorite deck I built! In fact, I just ordered the Rayquaza EX full art for my collection for old times sake!
That mew ex at 10:15 is legit my most favourite card of all time. I remember being in 4th grade and a kid in my class having it and me being jealous lol. I was lucky to snag a near mint one off troll and toad last year, so yeah it feels good to buy your childhood.
I love the sentiment of "damaged cards need love too." Obviously you want to have a collection of nice cards.. but if you like playing the game, those are the best cards for it! Especially the older cards. Awesome collection!
wow man!! very cool thanks for showing everything off, i've only been collecting for 5 months now but it's been sooo fun, my only first edition rn is a cubone lol eventually i want a gardevoir/gallade collection that looks like natalie's!! your signed misty made me want to cry wow that's so sick!! ALSO the bf and i are working on a cube rn and it honestly intimidated me so much (so many things going on! how many types? special energies?? deck size? ahhhhhh!) but we are making progress and collecting more playing cards simultaneously, we have only mock drafted since we're still unsure of the ratios and whatnot so i guess we'll see how it goes haha thanks for the motivation!
This is an awesome collection, Andrew. I've always wanted to be a content creator with Pokémon and always wanted to make a video like this. I have a very similar collection. The first 7 sets completed, opened boxes of LC that are filled with c/uc/r that I opened 7 of about 10 years ago, same with an Aquapolis box. A 1000 count box with Base-Team Rocket staples. Maybe one day I'll finally make the video.
This video made me go back and look at the small stack of cards I kept, and I have so many really old cards that are just in garbage condition because I played with them with my friends. Oh well, still really cool!
Awesome collection! Can you make a vídeo talking about your pokemon tcg cube? Im a mtg cube player and I Never saw a pokemon cube, it would be really cool to see in depth about the archetypes and how you managed to build a functional cube experience in ptcg!
I bought the Team Rocket's Dark Charizard unlimited in NM condition in 2015 for $15, when I started re-collecting cards. I wanted to buy back all the memories I had as a kid with Pokémon cards, unfortunately I didn't have any cards from my childhood, so I had to buy everything in 2015 that I have in my collection today. I'm glad I got back into the hobby in 2015 before the prices got so crazy in past year or so.
So many things to say!!!! Awesome content Fantastic montage Great cards Emotional memories A well deserve thanks for making this video andrew and team I will definitely stay tuned for more incredile uploads 😉😊
I have recently started to make competitive deck profile videos, and I’ve come up with some TOXIC ideas! Many involve Vivd Voltage cards, but if you are ever short on deck ideas, I am planning to upload about once or twice a week! Thanks for all the amazing videos!
That complete rocket set is beautiful... To celebrate getting started in collecting again, I recently purchased a complete unlimited edition Base Set, as well as a complete set of foils from Jungle and Fossil. My plan is to purchase 2 boxes of each set as they release, then get the singles im missing as i wait for the next set.
This video is awesome man. It's actually inspired me to start collecting again. Thanks for the awesome videos, they make 2020 a whole lot more bearable haha.
Love the cube idea!! Doing this ASAP. Personally I just collect the legendary birds, Abomasnow, and Dragapult cards. Also started to collect sun & moon character cards and the few English alt art character cards.
Nice collection! Your stories behind the cards make you a legit pokemon collector! Any pokemon collector will have a bad condition card that has a story associated with it.
It's mesmerizing how Andrew soooo into his collection. You can tell how excited he talks about it.. damn, some oh his collection isn't even graded yet. Think how much he's worth once all the cards are graded. Greetings from Asia bruh!
BRRUUHHH 45:35 Biggest flex in the pokeverse, "I used to have a first edition PSA 10 shining charizard but I sold it to make a down payment on a house." X-D X-D
@@TrickyGym I know right? I love playing it so much. Everyone someone finds out its mostly base to neo, and has gold stars in it, they immediately ask to buy it lol. I never will sell it though 🙂
I'm kind of jealous of your life. I was shamed out of collecting pokemon cards right at the start of Johto. I wish my mom would have been excited to find me a card at the flea market. Consider yourself lucky my friend. I'm living vicariously through you right now.
Someone's been spoiled/lucky, wow... Your friends are lucky too tho, building them decks and all :) I kinda wished I had friends to play with (and parents who'd help me with my collections instead of constantly (flirting with) throwing them away) ...even tho I'd just buy these cards to admire the artworks and not ruin them... shame I lost the oldest ones but hey, I've kept the next bunch, and never got into it again. Maybe I'll be inspired to eventually. Keep enjoying it, man!
I'm glad someone else has a huge fascination for the Rocket series and the Gym Heros series. I've been trying to go around grabbing what I can of the first editon Gym Heros. My prize though is my 1st edition Blaine's Arcanine! It highlights my binder and I'm looking to get it graded here anytime now.
My mom threw all my cards away when I was like 11 or 12 cause I said I wanted to get rid of my toys. Like the actual ones. And had all the cards in my dresser. So after we moved I was looking for them and had nothing. Had about 3000 cards from the 1995-2006 editions.
Dude for years I’ve been saying Rocket’s Zapdos is my fav card of all time and watching this video got me too excited. Recently got a first edition one for the first time for my display and I am stoooked. Great video dude!!
Very cool collection, I love all the old cards sm there way better then the new ones. I wish I was hard core collecting in 2004-2009ish but I was only like 1-8 years old at the time so I can’t blame myself. But i looked thru my old cards found a lot of cool ones brung back a lot of memories kinda got me back into it
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who every time i see or play Pokémon i go back to my 8yr old self hiding under the cover playing Pokémon red and blue all night on a school night the good old days lol I'm so mad that i didn't keep my cards though i just got back into it with my 7yr old son we bought the battle academy and have been playing and buying card packs
we think the ultra pro and BCW binders are best for storing cards. Monster binders look coolest but they aren't great for sleeved cards and can leave marks on your cards if you don't sleeve them
It’s crazy that you sold your Dark Charizard to help w the down payment on your house when I bet the WOTC box alone could be a huge chunk of change now. Sick collection, 2020 basically made you a billionaire lol
Grass type for life!!! Love healing effects decent damage and lots of special conditions even though they can be removed easily it still slows opponents
It's pretty mind blowing to see the price of base set zard over the past few years. It's basically been a $50 card TOPS for like the past 15 years and all of a sudden... BOOM Back in 2016 I had a chance to get a complete Legendary Collection set for like $100 and passed on it because I didn't think it was ever going to appreciate (and I don't really like the look of the cards tbh). What a fool. Also missed a sale at my local shop by a day on a complete first edition shadowless set for $1100 that same year. You just gotta try and not think about these things when you're a collector...
A true collector can talk in detail for hours about their collection; absolutely love this sort of enthusiasm its so authentic
Zapdos cards, "Everytime I see one, I gotta scoop up". Hehe I have that feeling as well 😁⚡️
I like this content because I have no one to talk to
To anyone who dosent wanna watch the whole video, highly recommend going to 1:19:51 and watch the beautiful montage
The organization of these drove me nuts but everyone has their own way of organizing their collection, that's part of the fun so, thanks for sharing what a beast of a collection you have.

All the old cards in the big box is so sick, I wanna play with them itd be nice being his friend lol
I love that you genuinely love the cards from growing up, collecting, and playing. Especially the playing. Sure, the cards can make you some good money but it's so nice to see you appreciate them for what they are for- playing.
I hope you play for years and years. Much love to you two. ♥️
brb going through and time stamping every part of this video where the cards were bought by me 🥴
🤣🤣🤣
still waiting for the list :)

@@michaelallenyarbrough9503 Lol, I mean, we own a literal house together so I think the pokémon cards would be the least of the concerns!

Me: struggling to keep track of my 3000 Andrew: well here we got 3000 binders
Bryce does NOT have a 1st edition dark Muk. This entire video was a mood. I loved it, well done. Will watch again especially to pause the deck builds
“Natalie’s buzzwoles matched... like a civilized person” lmaoooo
i don’t think i could make it through the tournament with mismatched arts. it’d make my teeth itch
This is like a competitive player's dream collection

Idk why this is like a comfort video now, I just play this all the time and have it in the background all the time lol
You have no idea how badly I wanna go through your wotc box and put everything in order
i’ve done it but it doesn’t stay in order 😅

47:14 Hey Mahone is that Shuckle (Top Left Right Side) for Sale? Im a Shuckle Collector and would love that card.
oh i am so jealous of all the Typlosions in your collection! its my ABSOLUTE favorite pokemon in the entire series
No exaggeration, this is the best youtube video I've ever watched.
Dope stickers on the binders..Shoutouts to Moms for gettin u the Rayquaza at the flea market lol. Nice collection brew
That complete rocket set is beautiful...

My plan is to purchase 2 boxes of each set as they release, then get the singles im missing as i wait for the next set.
I recently unsleeved my dallas regionals Mew3 and still have my Richmond regionals Trevenant sleeved too! Lol
Yep. Lmaooo
I used to have a tropical beach but gave away my collection although I am trying to build it back up now and am actually playing the tcg.
you should definitely grade some of your cube cards, especially the signed ones, and then buy some beat up heavy play to replace them into the cube.
This video is awesome man. It's actually inspired me to start collecting again. Thanks for the awesome videos, they make 2020 a whole lot more bearable haha.
Love the cube idea!! Doing this ASAP.

Can you do a stream of you and Natalie battling with some of your favourite decks?
BRRUUHHH 45:35 Biggest flex in the pokeverse, "I used to have a first edition PSA 10 shining charizard but I sold it to make a down payment on a house." X-D X-D
Raichu is my absolute favorite Pokémon idek why i just love it ! I pulled a Charizard today and a Charizard EX from 20 evolution packs
Omg an am hour and a half. I cant wait for my wife to go to work lol
The retro deck montage was amazing!
I'm the guy that owns a copy of your cube :) I agree, it has sky rocketed in price haha. I'm updating some cards in it.
Turns out it was a great investment!! Haha. You built it at the right time
@@TrickyGym I know right? I love playing it so much. Everyone someone finds out its mostly base to neo, and has gold stars in it, they immediately ask to buy it lol. I never will sell it though 🙂
do you have a list for the cube?

Double comment: I play mismatched sets in decks also. It helps me keep count of what’s left in my deck and what might be prized
I noticed the other day that my dark arbok had the WotC seal on it. Didn't realize it was rare
Someone's been spoiled/lucky, wow...
Your friends are lucky too tho, building them decks and all :)

Keep enjoying it, man!
i remember pulling rockets zapdos back in the day damn good times
Gonna save this video for some bedtime content tonight. (Congrats on PC Andrew)
Lessssss gooooo the day finally came. I have been waiting to see ur collection for so long!!!
I'm glad someone else has a huge fascination for the Rocket series and the Gym Heros series. I've been trying to go around grabbing what I can of the first editon Gym Heros.

dude i remeber looking through some of this back when u were still in md
Dude what a busted collection you and your girl have! Makes me happy to see you so passionate about collecting and playing the tcg.
Amazing collection! Thanks for sharing!!

My eyes are wide open I love them all. AWESOME.
That montage though 🙌
Who's That Pokemon??

Long shot that I’ll get an answer, but...
You have a lot of different binders there. What specific brand/model is your favorite?
we think the ultra pro and BCW binders are best for storing cards. Monster binders look coolest but they aren't great for sleeved cards and can leave marks on your cards if you don't sleeve them
what do you prefer stitched binders with black pockets or ring binders in using clear pockets
Is there pictures of Andrews tattoos somewhere? I wanna see his garados back piece and the legendary birds sleeves
he’s got pictures of most of them on his instagram @enjoifriend, the gyarados tattoo is still a work in progress though
With your misty collection do you have any misty and Lorelei cards? I feel like those should be added into that binder 😬
Omg lmaooo completed forgot about that card 😂😂😂
It’s crazy that you sold your Dark Charizard to help w the down payment on your house when I bet the WOTC box alone could be a huge chunk of change now. Sick collection, 2020 basically made you a billionaire lol
Was so excited to see this
Grass type for life!!! Love healing effects decent damage and lots of special conditions even though they can be removed easily it still slows opponents
That's a goddamn nice collection Andrew. Damn I'm Jealous! O_o
In this video: Every card is Mahone’s favorite card, and every Pokémon is Mahone’s favorite Pokémon. Lol
I bet you’re happy about the Zapdos reprint in Celebrations! 😂
Man I wish I could still afford Pokémon cards
I like your idea of having a draft box.
Those pickups at the end 🤩
Beautiful collection bro! I know you’re proud!!
Nice collection man, just started getting back into it, maybe I can have a collection like yours one day 😅
Tricky Jen what is your favorite Pokémon😊😊
Zapdos
It's pretty mind blowing to see the price of base set zard over the past few years. It's basically been a $50 card TOPS for like the past 15 years and all of a sudden... BOOM

Didnt know logic collected Pokemon cards
Awesome collection..an absolute amazing thing to see!!! Right on!!!🤙🤙🤙
Great collection.
So much nostalgia now behind a huge pay wall sadly
