    One more tip. Buy what you want not what others tell you to buy

      Good point!Most important thing is that you like what you are doing!

      True but not true. Depends on what your goal is if u buy only slowbros ur going to fail compared to sets. But should be a fan first then collector 2nd

      @@dominickmagoon5731 that makes sense. But also if you don’t buy what you like and the price tanks you’re most likely to sell it at a loss compared to if you liked the item you’d most likely be less inclined to sell. It can go either way though just follow your instincts when you look at each set and 90 percent of the time you’ll be okay in the long run

    I've just binge watched your last few videos. This is great content and really solid advice. Keep up the work and the subs will come 😊
    I personally need to draw a line between investing and collecting and stop buying cards in PSA 10 that are just a few dollars raw - if I had done this just this month, I would have enough money for a big chase card or a few BBs.

      Hi Josh, thanks for your kind words. Means a lot! I know it’s a struggle to make a difference between investing and collecting. For me personally, the shift came when I realized I won’t be able to realize my collector goals in this hobby without making a bit of money from it. My advice would be, try to sell a couple of psa 10 cards you actually don’t need in a 10 and buy some them as raw singles. With the rest of the money, you could focus on some investments from the S&V era. I know sword and shield is booming right now, but there are great deals to be made in this new era!

      @@thepokemonks there definitely is! I have managed to pick up some BBs. Actually last month I did manage to get 2 x SV base boxes for £160 for both, and 2 x PE boxes for £175 - which is about as cheap as they get over here. Love Paldea Evolved! I'm not too sold on the other main sets yet so I will wait to see how the next few sets are received before picking them up. But no doubt if I see TF or PR at similar prices, and I have the budget I will probably grab them. Silver Tempest just went out of stock on PC in the UK so I picked a couple of boxes of that up on eBay for approx £105 each - seemed like a no brainer!

    • @thepokemonks

      3 pretty solid picks! SV base is always a good idea since base set boxes are always doing a good job. Right now trying to complete my master set from paldea evolved, beautiful set!

      @TheNadoes i’m using logic to record my audio and final cut pro to edit my video’s, but you can just do the same with imovie and garageband (which is free if you are using apple). I upload both files from my camera and logic into final cut pro and match their audio at the clap i make. Next i just turn down the audio of the camera file :)

      Pricecharting and tcgplayer are my go to’s! Charts looking better on tcg but prices for graded cards are better on pricecharting!

      @thepokemonks  Місяць тому

      Hi! Normally I buy a couple of BB’s at an interesting price like Paldea Evolved at the moment ($100). I keep them sealed for 2 years and keep track of price changes. Then I will offer a couple of BB’s on sites like Ebay! does this answer your question? :)

    • @thepokemonks
      @thepokemonks  Місяць тому +1

      Good question! They do have an impact on your sales and that’s why i try to mainly focus on less sales but bigger cards so my profit margins are worth my time i put into this sales. Also a lot more interest in big chase cards leading to better sales prices. If you are living in Europe, Catawiki could also be interesting! A decent auction platform where buyers are paying the auction cost.
