I seen you guys on all them outlets except for the dibble one, yet I can never remember your name. 😅 I’m glad you guys are prospering, I wish you guys the best!
It's very inspirational.. I might just need that Japanese merchant's number, though. 😄
You need to ship to UK please
Can you help me to start pokemon business? Thanks
Thank you for actually talking us through the literal steps you took. So many resellers that are making millions just gloss over how they actually started and scaled
Wow! This was so immersive watching you start from very little to what you’ve made your business into now. The fact that you casually drop you got interviewed by Vice news, got on NHK and a radio show in Dublin😂😂I’m blown away! Congratulations!
Truly inspiring
really appreciate the love! thx for watching!
There's a reason why you guys are successful. Well, more than one reason. But your mindset and ability to adapt and give what your viewers/customers want is unparalleled. I bet you guys weren't the only ones that thought of doing this . But it's because of how you guys tackled it (such as creating your own site instead of relying on eBay and their exorbitant fee, and using tik tok to drive traffic to your site). And the sheer amount of work you guys put into it, not just the product side, but the content side. Pumping out crazy amount of videos per day everyday. Hats off to you guys. Congratulations on your wild success.
Thanks for the love / appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@giwrgospetrou1159 yes, because everyone from the US is a successful person, right?
Bro, I’m three minutes into the video and I just want to applaud you for the hustle. It’s super encouraging.
Just started my business and watching you has helped me so much, thank you for keeping it real even to this day, and helping those learn. Much love
This is such an insane story, I been wanting to open my own grading company mostly because I love watching packs being opened but I personally love the artworks and I actually like the tedious backend work or organizing, and all that I just need someone to do the content creation side stuff as I am not one to make videos or tiktoks and all that lol but I'd thought to partner with similar stores because I am moving into a new city that doesn't have a big cardshop or anything like that at all and I'd personally love to see more people play Pokemon and have fun.
I love the cardshop atmospheres and grew up in the arcade era times so I've always loved those small pop up shops that would sell baseball cards and have an arcade machine and there's nothing like that in the new city I am moving to.
So, this is super inspiring to see and what a cool thing you've done! I love that you include your wife in the pack battles and all that, that's really fun. I had a partner but we ended up splitting unfortunately and I been in a rut. We broke up just the past weekend so I am trying to move forward with my life but it's hard.
Anyway, what a really cool story you got and it's cool you think about getting your customers the best deal you can. I been trying to figure out how to open my grading company but I don't like the current grading market in how much they charge per card, especially for the average person who just wants their childhood card in a nice display, so I'd like to adopt your kind of mindset there.
For me, this is just an extension of what I love and sure the profits would be nice if I could make a living off of it, but really honestly, I just love sharing seeing the artwork and cards be opened and it's because I got to open cards with my niece and it made those memories of my first pack during base set extra special. My niece loves opening cards and so with the extras I'd donate decks to schools or libraries with card shops or clubs so that was super super fun. That's why I'd want to do grading use the extras to make cool stuff for kids and people and then those who have special cards have something cool and fun to display and then if people are more serious about it help alleviate the huge flux of cards to hopefully make a better deal for average collectors or people in that ballpark.
Sorry for the longwinded comment, I just enjoyed your video and you inspired me :)
Give up, You'll never make it in the game, the pokemon card game that is.
-Gyser
not to be a negative nelly but the state of grading has been going down hill, with youtubers being banned from PSA for resubmitting the same card multiple times and showing how the grade changed multiple times, all over...its just something that a lot of people are losing trust in. It would be amazing if a new grading company could start up and compete with CGC and Beckett so gooooood luck.
Im in Omaha,NE as well! Awesome story! Ive seen you driving around town so i thought id check you out! Nice to see someone local!
Marnie car is hard to miss LMAO
Your story is so amazing! I remember watching that Vice documentary and shortly after you were messaging me to stream in the Facebook Group I admin! Keep up the great work, you’re truly an inspiration!!
been dreaming of doing this for about a year now. if i can be half as successful as you i'll be on top of the world
Same dude. We got this though. 😤 Just gotta start it.
You got this!!! I have a mastermind video on my channel u should watch
@@evanspierre9194you will!
I’m interested too! It would be hard work but I feel like so rewarding the hobby is too awesome 😎 and I can stop teaching elementary PE lmaoo great video man thanks for the video and your company !! 🙏🏽
I started
Selling singles hardest thing. Would suggest to start on 1 tcg card game. Once you do more than 3 it gets really time consuming.
Thank you thank you thank you, for this awesome video. It's so valuable to have someone who's further down the road than you are, describe their experience. If you ever wondered about, or doubted the potential impact your content could have on people, don't. If anything, you've definitely helped at least one person. Keep going
This means A LOT. This is my first video that actually did well lol
Im right at the beggining of what he did and have a lot of faith its gonna work out especially seeing this
Thanks for sharing. Very insightful as I've been semi progressing to where you're at mid your 1st year or so.
1 room and half a living room space now. No where near as organized as you.
Next month would be where I get a more organized system in place.
Again, thanks! This could not be more timely
I owned a shop 2015-21.. it nearly killed me. Ulcers, stress, missed family moments, and a hell of a lot of all nighters doing shipping. I cashed out and sold the shop and client list in December 2021. Never been happier. There are days I miss it, like getting to open 5 cases of Hidden Fates to fill the display with hits, or Series 1/2 hunting Mcdavid in his rookie year, but when I think about it the only real fun was that and the money. Now I just have the money, I am completely out of the hobby, only kept a few rare slabs for invest,ent purposes and a few memorabilia pieces of my favourite players for the man cave. Good luck to you sir.
I love the content! I hope the business continues to grow and succeed! Keep pushing that positive energy out it's motivating!!
I hope so too! Thanks for the love 🙏🏻
I’ve been looking at finding a way to make money on one of my oldest hobby. I appreciate the raw info you’re sharing. Since my son was diagnosed with lymphoma, working standard jobs has been difficult to keep up and I’m starting to feel starting my own business would fit me better.
This is very inspirational. I’m in my first month of hopefully the same success story. I didn’t have much capital to start with but I’m making progress nonetheless. Waiting on my first batch of graded cards to come back and I’ll have a bigger fund to work from. I’ll be using your tip on finding a distributor. Thanks for the awesome content!
Excited for you!! Kill it 🔥🔥
where do u buy ur cards from
this has got to be the most in depth way to explain how to break the wall of a struggling entrepreneur, always believe in your efforts and never give up on what you believe in is success and it will come your way regardless the obstacles you must hurdle. Amazing you and your family deserve what you have now. Take chances and opportunities for granted.
Omg I've been watching Pokemon Steven until I found you. He titles his videos like "How to source pokemon cards" and then he'll rant about random things for 2 hours straight. This is way more digestible, thanks for the sticking to the point.
I've got to say I love the style that you did when making this video
I can see you work and seeing you go through the motions. it's more than just describing what you're doing
i was pretty excited about it - glad you liked it!
I live in japan you guy's are the reason i left collecting japanese pokemon taking all the good card's from here and selling on ebay at 80% profit with a ridiculous shipping fee.
Ouch :(
finally watched this video....will probably watch it several more times and take notes. Thank you for all your helpful information.
Sooooo sick!! Mad props to you. Wishing you nothing but the best!
I really appreciate that 😁
Thank you for the info of your process.
While Pokémon is just a hobby i appreciate getting the knowledge of running a home business
amazing video I got back into collecting around 2019 and I've always wanted to become a seller bc of my love for the cards. Best video I've ever seen on this topic great job!!
Thanks for sharing this. I've been trying to figure out how to go from a collector to possibly selling for a while. I'm a few years away from actually going full send but am actively buying and storing current and past English sets. It's cool to see it's possible,
This is incredible and extremely motivating! Great work and keep the hustle up!!
Thanks so much!!
Wow. I really enjoyed this video, I really did. This is the first time I've seen someone that spoke in such a down-to-earth way about how they began their Pokemon business journey. I just got back into Pokemon this year and thought about doing some side hustles like this since I really enjoyed the hobby. It may be a bit late for me to do it, but what I'm most happy about is that, I watched you do it here in this video. Congratulations on your success and I hope you continue with it! Cheers to you!
we deffs needed more realness in the poke-biz world of youtube so im trying my best to provide that - thanks for the love!
Congrats on the new life! Its nice to see success stories in this world. I wish I could help out but Im not local but will wish you all the best. I recently got back into Pokemon TCG and its been interesting. Much love from Arizona!
Hey i appreciate it!! its been fun
Absolutely loved every second of this video. Great job🤙🏼
Starting my own pokemon card business here in the Philippines your my inspiration man keep up contents like this.
What I want to know is how would you go about doing it now? With prices higher, profit margins lower, and demand fluctuating... what processes would you take to build a company like how you did back during the pokemon boom?
I've been wondering precisely the same thing.
Exactly the question i was hoping got awnsered in the comment section
This is super inspirational! Congratulations to all your success. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Thank you so much!
Keep posting your channel will be 100k subs by 2024 you got the business mindset the editing and the entrepreneur vision keep it up man
Dude I’m so happy for you , keep grinding
Thank you for being an honest seller. Too many stories of fakes & repacks being sold, especially with 3rd party sellers. I feel confident in purchasing product from you and will place an order soon. With English surging sparks prices climbing, the Japanese super electric breaker booster boxes would be a good alternative.
I respect the hustle and congrats on the huge success! 🎉
Love How Genuine You Are! Thanks for Inspiring me to what I do. Thank You!
thanks so much for the love
Very inspiring but my question is what’s your recommendation on finding wholesalers or suppliers to start the business ?
Poke beard sent me here..Definitely going through ur store to build my inventory...cant wait to do business with yah...
I love this! But seems the hard part is sourcing a good supplier
Thanks for advice ! I needed the help
Massively underrated channel, I have a great deal of respect for your hustle.
means alot! thx for watching :)
😊my son has began to sell his cards but hasn’T got orders yet but he is about to get one thx to you
Holyyyyy, so glad I found this channel. On your site rn 🙏
Thanks for visiting!!
Amazing stuff! All the best.
It’s go time thanks brother for all the tips let’s see how this goes doing this for me and my son! 🍀🙏
This was very informatief. I appreciatie the video i wait for more ;).
Man, what a great listen! Amazing story, feeling incredibly motivated afterwards! What would you suggest as a first step in thinking about what to do as a side hustle?
Thinking about something as a side hustle sounds like a first step already in progress
My dream job.. working at home with the things I love! I'll get there someday
Congratulations dude! You have arrived!
Yes! Thank you!
Good stuff braddah..you’re living the dream..I found my old vintage cards a few weeks ago and already have traded up my collection 50% and want to eventually get to some of the most valuable. Don’t know if I’d turn it into a business but it’s a fun hobby/investment/supplemental income (shrugs)…. Wish I would have done what you did during the pandemic though
Your story is incredible ! I hope you more success !
really appreciate that :)
Hello from Romania, I have started to work on this dream too for almost 2 years . Here it is hard, the market is not that good , I make more money selling in Europe than Romania 😅
Hey hard or not sounds like you’ve been killing it if you’ve gone 2 years- keep it up!
@@pokene_pokemon Ty! The first year I started with 2$ and got 1k. Now in the second I am around 3.5k. Trying to get some cash so I can setup a site for singles
Such an inspiration! I would love to be able to do something like this!
Congratulations on all your success, I watch the vice doc when it first came out.
You’ve been watching for awhile then! Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Amazing man!! Super cool story!
Same you dont deliver to the UK i was just about to purchase a 151 UPC 😢
Are there any business books you would recommend to learn how to get your head around the numbers? You have a really solid grasp of what you're doing. The business looks amazing.
omg nice story and i admired your effort and hard work! greetings from Colombia
Thanks so much for watching !!
Just stumbled across the video and saw you're in Omaha! How cool, that's where im from!!
LETS GOOOO
5:18 more in PH need the [D Booster Set 11: Clash of the Heroes] money for the crit
Great videos. Very well explained and not difficult to follow at all. Thank you for making these.
Thx for watching it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Something I definitely want to do but I just don’t have a clue when it comes to website building or attracting customers
awesome video! definitely going to watch more because I want to also start selling stuff at a smaller scale
youll LOVE IT
Dude I'm so fucking proud of you. I dont even know you but DAMNNNN! You Guys Are On Fire! ❤
Haha this comment made my day ✌️
That’s actually crazy. I was just talking to my friend about opening up a card store in our area because there isn’t a good one around. He’s a really big yuguioh guy and I’m huge into Pokémon, the One Piece TCG and the Disney Lorcana. We just talked about starting up online to raise capital for a store front but assumed it would be pointless because of how many sites there are. This is actually crazy you are a genius from the way you started the business to the way you scaled. Just absolutely amazing
Hey that’s awesome! Gotta love when the algorithm delivers! Good luck on the biz!
But don’t think it’s easy, he got the pandemic hype, maybe you are 3 years not that profitable or got many sales, because they are so many card shops! You need a USP and to find that is very hard
You’re awesome. I remember watching the Side Hustle documentary 🔥🔥🔥. ✨CONGRATS✨ on all of the successes 🎉🎉
youve been with us for awhile then! Thanks for the support!
I just started and things are going really good. I just need some sort of distribution for japanese. I'm in the process of securing english distribution, but the japanese hookup would be amazing.
It’s worth the effort for sure- DM everyone!
This is so cool. Congrats on the success!
hey i appreciate it man :)
Crazy bro very nice. Always dreamed of doing this. I'm a realtor here in California. LOL would be dope to do something similar. Keep up the good work
Hey i was a realtor in NE - realtors make good Pokémon salesmen 😂
Great info!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I'm glad you have built this successful business. Great instructional video.
Appreciate it 🙏🏻
Man that’s insane . Congrats on your success
Really great watch here’s to even more success in the future!
Sure hope so! Thanks for the view 🙏🏻
Congrats.. sure seems like success on social media is the key to almost any business these days.
Definitely!
Like many others in the comments, this is my dream. I’m living abroad right now in a country without Pokémon cards, but when I get back in a couple years this is what I want to chase.
Great video my man!
Appreciate it!
Congratulations on your business you inspired me to keep it going.
awesome to hear - dont give up!
Dude! You are actually a pretty funny guy lol the way you tell your story is awesome. And inspiring! Love the hustle bro. Goodluck with it! And don't fear the boogeyman 😅
Really appreciate it man 🙏🏻
I sold some stuff on ebay and occasionally still do but the fees are pretty wild
Yea it’s sinful lol
keep up the great work. So happy that you can do what u love. Let me kno if u ever needed some traditional chinese pokemon tcg product.
Thanks! Will do!
I'd love to know where you get your boxes from, those sizes are really good!
Uline 👍
This Is Inspiring! I Love You Business Model. Bravo!
Thank you so much!
Very interesting to say the least! Great job.
Love the channel, PokeNE! :)
Appreciate that ❤
I just started reselling Pokémon cards in my local area 3 moths ago and now I have my own shop if I could learn more about how to expand my buissness I’ll move to nabraska for minimum wage and information!
Keep it up! It’s a fun industry 🔥
I love the story!! It's what I've been dreaming of lately. Recently just got back into collection again and started playing the tcg for the first time. Would love to help u out in any way shape or form😮🎉😂
Thanks for the love!!
Did you ever set up connections with official Pokémon distributors that are listed on their support website? It seems as though the distributors require your business to be located at a permanent address zoned for commercial or retail use. I would like to get started in doing something like this, but want to start small out of my apartment, but it doesn't seem possible to get connected with those types of distributors. Thank you for sharing your story here! It was an interesting listen!
Yes southern hobby is out distro 👌
Where can I buy booster boxes from? I’m in Canada
we only ship to the US - so sorry i dont know any good international stores!
Danireon is in Canada. Has an online store and a brick and mortar shop
This is awesome, I have actually been researching and trying to find someway to start my own. I am so glad you made this video. It's so cool to see someone's dream became a reality. Hope mine does to!!! Just just secured a future customer right here, no matter what. Keep it up. If you have any small tips for those small new businesses trying to get in to this, I would really appreciate it!!!!👃😇
Thanks for such a nice comment- I’m cheering for you man 🔥
wow. Great Story! I'm glad that youtube's algorithm recommended this video to me :)
Bro nice video . As a smaller poketuber this actually helps . I mainly do giveaways but been selling on side . Ty for the video and new sub
Half I could help out! Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Dream job fr. Respect to you bro
Hi there! What do you do when you find thousands of your old Pokemon cards, have little to no knowledge of value let alone time and energy to sell them individually online (unless they are higher end rare or holo cards).. grading seems a little risky and expensive, is it risky to sell on marketplace, and or are their trustworthy people to take your cards to in person that will sort theough them and give you a decent profit? I have no interest in selling pokemon cards full time just want them gone and not to be totally jipped by letting them go if that makes sense..
Thank you 🙏
Amazing story!! I was very surprised mine just kinda blew up due to vintage cards. Next step for me is website. What did you use to build your site? Thanks for the inspiring story! Shared everywhere
WIX is the way to go. Thx!!
amazing video, very inspirering
This was good. Thanks I enjoyed watching.
appreciate it!!
I use to do this to provide for my own collection in 2014/2017 it as awesome!!! Card were so cheap during those times tho
hopefully those times come back again!
You were an inspiration for my starting to sell on whatnot. What size box do you use to ship one piece booster boxes if I may ask. :)
awesome to hear! 6X4X4
