Comparing and coveting others people's cards and thinking your collection is bad and inferior is a bad mindset. He is telling you to be satisfied and grateful for the collection you possess. A personal example of myself: I do not have a 1st edition base set charizard, I have a shadow boarder charizard, I should be grateful for what I have.
I wholeheartedly agree with this, a while ago I sold my collection because it was overwhelming me and taking over too much of my life. Then 151 came out and I fell in love. Now I’m solely focusing on a binder that will eventually have a master set of 151 as well as my favorite artworks of the original 151 Pokémon from sets I’ve accumulated along the way. As a 90s kid, the nostalgia helped me refocus as a collector. Having a goal and design in mind has made this hobby 10x more fun and more manageable than it was before!
I started collecting Pokémon cards just a few months ago and I’m from Dominican Republic and it’s been sooo hard, there ain’t many collectors or shops here, you can find some players, but collectors are hard to find. Your channel always inspires me to keep it up, even though it can be hard at times
Im just collecting the cards I like. I love full arts, but when I go to card shows, I dont purchase every full art I come across. I only purchase it if I genuinely like it. I love opening my binder, and being happy every time I flip the page admiring the art work.
Hey I know I’m replying late but I wanna say that I 100 percent understand you. I never in my life thought I would start collecting and I literally just started, and what inspired me were the full arts. It makes the cards more of an artwork than just cards. I just wanted to blab to someone that would understand me lmfao have a good one !
this for me hit home, i was a crazy collector once just garbbing anything and everything and never completing, now i focus on 1 set at a time and complete a binder and give dupelicates away to the pokemon community, Pat as always you are a legend my friend, keep bringing us gold videos like this, see you at CP2 in June
This video helped me out so much! I am someone who collects and spends a lot of time researching and collecting not only Pokémon cards, but 80s toys, Funko Pops, Star Wars products, Masters of The Universe products, etc. and I struggle with storage. This video helped me out a lot with Pokémon card collecting! Thank you!
I love opening up Pokemon cards for my UA-cam Channel but what I’m most proud of is knowing that I found the love for Pokemon again. I’ve started my journey in June and since then I’ve been very happy. I don’t have a particular collection just yet but soon I will see what catches my eyes. Thanks Pat for everything you do for the community and I hope to one day be apart of these videos
i don’t collect pokemon cards, but i am still a fan of your channel and this advice has really impacted the way i sort and yugioh cards. i have been a professional player for the past few years and my desk is always covered in random yugioh cards that are either bulk or useful stuff. just having this advice has completely turned around my collection. thank you so much ❤️
I’m most proud about the fact that at the start of the year I only had nine v’s and now I have over 200 alt arts,golden cards, v’s ,vmax’s, etc and this channel inspired me to do so, so thanks pat
My sister started to collect last month and it got me and my mom hooked back to pokemon. This has been really enlightening video… setting goals is really the way, it can get really overwhelming. Thank you for sharing! I’m a big fan!
Been collecting groudon! Was losing hope but at trade night I managed to find 3! Honestly, I do look at my collection ALOT. It’s been definitely helping me determine what can come and go. We sort our bulk in empty ETBs and label them. Might be doing something with our bulk involving our trip to Card Party 😏😉
As someone who's been in this for 25 years, this was actually all very good advice. Although I've rarely if ever let anything go. For the first 8 years of Pokémon I just collected everything - complete sets and every promo, but by the time of Gen 4, it all became too much and I just collected certain things. My main collections are Artist (Arita in JPN and ENG for example) or Species completism (JPN & ENG). I've got so many cards now that it's taken over parts of my house.
I didn't know where to start, so I decided to begin 'project pokedex', where I'm filling a binder with one of every pokemon in National Dex order. Whenever i get a new card of a pokemon i already have, i decide which artwork i prefer and keep that one. Its super fun and means I can collect from any set :)
I've recently started the same with only art i like the most of each Pokemon with an holo thing (of course not one that are overpriced) ! Glad to see that it's a common collection !! What type of sort you'll do in term of binder ? One for each gen ?
This is exactly what im doing. I'm 30+ yo now and have a 1 yo son. When he's 6+, i'll show him my pokemon card collection hoping that he'll enjoy it too. I just started now and my wife bought me some surging sparks booster packs. After that, i'll buy in bulks hoping to get a new card or pokemon that i need. I'm excited 😂 Wondering about the binders too. I'm thinking 2 gens in 1 binder? Or get the 900+ card slots binder then put it all there.
I do this, but I keep the highest rarity to myself. One collection in Japanese, one in English. I have Korean collection too but that’s a different battle for a different day
In general I try to collect any cards that has a different illustration, but trying to focus my collection to not spend too much, I go with my favorite pokemon! I almost completed my volcarona/slither wing/iron moth collection and I discovered special edition of these cards a week ago like a STAFF one that I never seen before and it's a must now hahaha
I am one of the many who recently returned to collecting because of 151. I'm still figuring out my collection and where I want to go, first it was full arts then I started collecting vintage. Now I want to complete base set thru gym challenge heros, along with randomly picking up cards I like. Still figuring out this process but this video was very informational!
Pat, I think I’m most proud of my Trainer Gallery collection. I haven’t completed any yet because prices are insane 😅 but I have made great progress. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all DPM, see u at Card Party 🎉
Man... I really wished I watched this video sooner(and this channel as a whole really) When I was a lot younger, like during the early 2000s, I did collect quite a bit of pokemon cards and I knew gen 1 like the back of my hand. But as I grew older, I started to get busy with life and all. For some reason, earlier this year, after almost 2 decades, now with some adult money, I started to fall in love with collecting again(though what brought me back was one piece TCG initially), but this channel has really been a blessing and I'm just so happy seeing all the videos and collecting cards again myself. I feel like, in a way, I'm now trying to slowly heal the inner child inside of me who had to stop collecting at one point in time for whatever reason. Thank you, pat. Just...thank you
I like how you talk about how some people get jealous when people have bigger collections than them and I can relate! And this video helped me a lot with working on that issue I struggle with in general.
Videos like this are always nice to watch from time to time. It really helps you stay down to earth, and remember that as a long time collector these things may be obvious to me, but that's not true for everyone. Especially for people just getting into collecting for the first time.
I remember pulling a Latias & Latios GX 170/181 in my first ever pack of Team Up about a year ago. I got it graded and it came back a gem mt 10. That is 100% what I am most proud of in my collection.
im most proud of my full art mega charizard from evolutions because for my birthday my cousin gave me on pack and i remember telling him i loved this particular card, then i got it! i'll never trade that card
If you re from USA you ll get a 10 🙂 Ask me from Europe... All the PSA 10 cards in usa aren't ten Simply dudes bribe them. Do you know that? I know this for sure. You just give them extra 100 dollars for each card🙂OUPS, did i say too much? 🙂
I started collecting last December with the goal to complete the National dex but with a twist of collecting them all in reverse holos. Now 6 months later I’m only 100 or so cards away from completing it. It isn’t worth a ton but when it’s done it will look amazing! Thanks for the tips Pat! See you at Card Party!
Will start to do the same with art i like the most (who are not overpriced of course) and with holos in it ! The only thing that make me wonder, it's that i'll not be able to make trade since i only look for one copy each time :/
“Comparison is often the thief of joy” is so true in collecting! I think one thing you left out is do NOT let FOMO dictate how you collect or cause impulse buys. But yeah great overall video, staying in your lane is easily the most important thing!
I'm proud of my all my vintage Japanese pokemon cards, bc there cards I never had growing up and I just feel like they have wider and better window where the pokemon art is being displayed. I love trying to learn a lil Japanese. To me there just better looking cards all around 💯
I learned this the hard way when i got back in to collecting. Now im just sticking to collecting the all the artworks of my fave mon and maybe making the effort to complete smaller sets! Awesome vid DPM! Asking for that refill with a water hose took me out lol!
i just started collecting last week and so far its been really fun soaking up tons of information like a sponge. its a world i never knew existed. from all the pokemon products available to binders u can use, or sleeves. these types of videos really help spark that passion for it too. finding the webstore with the best prices last black friday was a fun challenge on its own. managed to pick up a Terapagos Ex Ultra-Premium Collection for only 100 bucks. might not sound cheap if u live in the US but where i live they usually go for 120-150. ill be opening it with Christmas and all troughout december ill open 1 pack every day
Ive been collecting the trainer galleries. Then I realized there’s a ton of cards that have trainers and pokemon in them. Started off small and working my way up to the more expensive cards. Best part about all of this is i get to experience this with my kid. Its been a blast reliving a hobby i had as a kid with my kiddo and seeing his face light up when we find a card we need.
5:44 definitely going through this as im coming into my second week collecting. You watch so much of these big collectors it does make you feel a little left out 😅
Just got into the Pokémon collecting phase of my life. I feel rather late to the Pokémon fad at my age given I could've easily grown up with it but didn't until an adult. I absolutely love Luxray and the Shinx line as a whole and that's where I plan on starting. Your set challenges at conventions convinced me to sub and helped me choose what I wanted to collect in the first place.
I just started collecting last week, I have no concern of how impressive or expensive my collection is, I just enjoy seeing the different art for each card and like getting a bunch of new art to look at, it is just satisfying to see, and the rare cards are just a coll little treat that deserves to be displayed on its own. It is very much like videogame collecting. I just enjoy seeing it all together.
Great video and some awesome advice! It took me a year of getting back into collecting to decide what I liked about collecting and now stay in my lane, save a lot of money and have a lot more fun!
that last one is so true that hit me last week, and I was jealous. In the end I am happy with the cards I have collected and will slowly progress them to where I want to be in the future
Only been getting back into Pokemon over the past few months now, collecting for nostalgia and also something I can hand down to my son one day every card I get now gets put into a binder with the thought of one day when my son looks at this he will have the same smile and wow factor that I had 😊 Pat I love your content also try my best to watch everything I can especially the lives you do great work mate 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video!! Really love the last bit about remembering its about the journey. Thats why I started this account. I have almost none of the cards I want yet, and I want to remember the journey !
I’m glad I watched this video, I’ve been on a journey to complete every set but I’ve decided to just try to collect every buizel card since it’s my favorite Pokémon, it is definitely more rewarding every time I get one.
Great video! One of your earlier videos talked about focusing down on a niche and not trying to collect EVERYTHING which stuck with me! I collect Steelix Engish and Japanese cards as a core focus, with a few other random cards I like here and there to spice things up. Done are the days of trying to master set EVERY set because I realized I ended up with a ton of bulk and I was spending money on cards I didn't really care about just to complete a set.
I'm starting collect these with my kids, it's being really fun so far, and as for now, we have the Alt Art Squirtle from Stellar Crown, 3 Charizard EX Dark Tera Type and a Leafeon EX from Prismatic Evolutions, these are our personal favorites! :)
I like to hold on to one of each card- like the holos or best condition one- and donate/trade the rest. I order them by type and dex number in my binders, and the act of ordering them that way is therapeutic and nostalgic to me. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the expanse of expensive and new pokemon card out there, but every time I reoder my cards I am reminded why I have them.
0:48 YES SORT IT BEFPRE YOU IGNORE IT so awhile back i bought a booster pack to help my friends with a master set but when the day came to give it to him i lost it i put it on my shelf and boom its gone.
Last year, I bought the Pokemon Holiday Collection and out of one pack of Evolving Skies, pulled the Rayquaza VMAX. I was in shock, to say the least....my best pull ever. My actual collection goals are really to complete modern sets as they are released (started getting back into it with Celebrations.). Also, I do collect Eevee and all it's evolutions in a special binder. That bulk adds up for sure, and I sell some singles that are duplicates but agree the selling side is another discussion. Thanks Pat!!
FANTASTIC video! Figuring out what to collect is a challenge. there are too many cards to catch them all (unless you have an unlimited budget). I try to adhere to most of these already, fortunately. I work towards "sets" by only keeping 1 copy of any card I pull. Exceptions would be the big hitter names that may appreciate over time. (rayquaza, pikachu, starters, etc).
I'm a little under 3 minutes into this video and god damn 😂 The production is so, so on point 🙌 Points so far have been good too, especially NOT TRYING TO COLLECT EVERY CARD, IN EVERY EXPANSION, FROM EVERY SERIES. I think targeting specific cards is crucial! Awesome content man, keep it up, awesome knowledge for the Community. ❤
What's not awesome though is the 100s of Millions of dollars people used to grade WOTC VINTAGE Packs that are now worth 20% of the value they were when he was pumping grading them. Almost none were graded before Deep pocket Monster promoted him grading his packs. Now he's created 10S OF MILLIONS IN DAMAGES FOR HIS SO CALLED FANS.
@@TomThePokeKid Sure buddy! What's really sad is it's a MONEY GAME and Pat wouldn't be doing his channel if it weren't for the money. And that money mostly comes from CHILDREN. THAT in itself is pathetic and sad!
@@TomThePokeKid and when 90% of his followers are CHILDREN, that makes the money he makes off pokemon COME FROM CHILDREN, especially with his extra sponsors. Not UA-cam!! After all that is simple math, which any child, let alone you an adult should be able to do!
I have a binder for each generation its a mix of different sets in national pokadex number and its just cool to see the different artworks all together i didnt grow up with anime anything in the household so getting to grow up and love the cards so much and to have a collection has just been super fun
Just saw this for the first time... I'm begining my Pokemon Collection and my first goal is to complete all the Trick or Trade sets and get all the Mareep cards (English only for now). Later, I'll think of something else but for now, I'm pretty happy that my goals are very straight, can be done with a low budget and are relatively quick to achive. Enjoy your collections and have a great day!
Well made Video! I'm a Nintendo Collector that collect games, consoles, pokemon cards and figures and your tip works on both card collecting and games collecting 😁
I just started collecting. Very lightly though. In the theme of "catch 'em all" my goal is to make a "living dex" from packs my wife and I have exclusively opened. Our rarest or favorite card will take up each pokemon spot and replace previous editions with newer/better ones as we continue to open more packs. Keeping in separate binder(s) the other cards we just like
I just back into the TCG after not playing or buying in almost 20 years. All these new card styles are so overwhelming but I know what I want to collect so hopefully it won’t be too bad
I recently(sommer 2023) started again to collect pokemon cards(first time since my youth) and your Videos about how to collect, storage and binder behavior really save me :D i am about to complete my master set of 151 :D just two cards missing!
I like the last tip. Collect what you like. I had over 100 Slabs of vintage cards. I didn’t like them better than Binders soooo I sold them all and went back to collecting in a binder. Nothing is cooler than unzipping a binder full of Pokémon cards. For me, I ONLY collect based off artwork.
At first i collected everything. Now i sold almost everything and only collect Steelix PSA cards. This makes collecting indeed way more fun. I would never tought i would own a Shining card in PSA. But here i am proudly with my Shining Steelix in a PSA9. Holy grail for me atleast. Collecting slabs for me is way more fun now so that i can showcase and display my pride and joy. Happy New year and keep it up 👌
So happy to learn I am collecting "the right way". I am much like the Rayquaza girl, but collecting Snorunt and Froslass. I'm pretty far with the English and Japanese cards, but my lane sometimes gets wider. I learned about Japanese sets having both Unlimited and First Edition cards, for example. New sets keep coming, of course. And then there are the remaining languages, which I am keeping as a stretch goal for now. The hardest part is to resist the urge to buy ETBs, as collecting a species means buying singles and not really pulling them yourself!
First time commenting on a video, but the card I love the most and am the most proud of - even in its very well-loved condition - is my Wizards of the Coast Black Star Promo Pikachu #1 because of the sentiment tied to it. I received that card on a Saturday morning when my friend’s mother took me and both of her daughters to the first ever Pokémon League at our local Toys R Us. I played at that league with them for years. Her mother is no longer with us, but if it wasn’t for her, I probably never would’ve learned how to play the game as she taught the three of us. I can guarantee my love for this ever-evolving franchise wouldn’t be nearly as great without those memories. ❤
I started my collection by watching your Gengar video challenge. Right now I'm collecting all the legendary and mythical pokemon from gen 1 to gen 9. I'm a little more than halfway done.
So proud of our 151-master set it was the second set that we really stayed with to master after having to sell our 98% zenith set to pay for expenses but between trading and opening it really was a ton of fun and has increased the love of the hobby 10x.
im mostly proud of my winnings from other poketubers. it has a lot of sentimental value and the cards are most important to me. i don't want to sell them it's just that Pokemon to me are like family, in my opinion and the artwork is so real. i hope to learn more about Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh collecting at card party 2.
As somebody who recently sorted through 2 years worth of Pokemon Card collecting I can honestly say this is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen - Sort it before you ignore it 😎
I needed this. I still haven't completely found out, what I wanna focus on, so I've been doing a little of everything.. Time to narrow it down and focus on one or two things 💪
After 6 years of collecting, I’ve finally focused in on one single binder. It’s a 16x16-1024 total-master binder. I collect, for example, my 4 favorite Arcanine cards. When a new, cooler arcanine comes around, I’ll replace an old one by selling it and using the funds to buy the new arcanine. Super focused and it makes collecting endless and fun for me!
I barely just started collecting pokemon cards and this video really made me feel happy with my small collection I have atm. My goal is to get as many gyarados I can find, but of course collect a lot of cool looking pokemon cards. Amazing and helpful video ❤️
I’m currently trying to complete my Scarlet and Violet base set. I am a big collector of stadiums (I never knew why, I just kind of got hooked on them😅), and in over 10 years, I still don’t have cards for all of the eeveelutions so I’m working on that too. I have had all of my cards for so long that, when it comes to trading, I don’t really like it because I have become attached to all of the cards in my collection😅 I hope to meet you one day, keep up the great work!❤️
i mostly collect alt art cards since i'm an artist myself, the art on pokemon cards is so wonderful what I am most proud of in my pokemon card collection is my ingo and emmet card I have, they are my favs from pokemon and when I finally got my hands on a full art card from them I am so happy, it is still a of the cards I am most proud of
I can relate to the problem of trying to collect everything and its making collecting much less enjoyable, so I was thinking of starting to collect promo cards since I’ve always loved opening all the boxes!!! I think i will start with a series like sword and shield then hopefully make my was down to some more vintage cards! This video was great, thanks Pat
My proudest moment was when I got my first hit. After over 10 years of not touching Pokemon cards, I restarted collecting them around the time Astral Radiance came out, and pulled the alternate full art Palkia V and full art Irida in the same booster box. I also recently pulled the illustration rare Infernape from Twilight Masquerade last week :)
I love my Yuka Morri (clay) and Asako Ito (yarn) arts and crafts collection! current favorites I own are drapion v from crown zenith and altaria also from crown zenith. Goal is to get something more vintage next!
Honestly I am simply collecting stuff for the sake of it, but in moderation, a pack a week is enough to keep me joyful and excited for the next one, maybe even picking up a ETB once in a while when I have enough spare change, but just collecting those cards and putting them in a binder in the dex order is so therapeutic for me.
as a collector that just started last december, i must say that it took me about 1 month prior to decide what i want to collect. and i have not regretted taking my time to decide because i realised that i am a sucker for art rares and illustration rares and have started collecting them ever since. 2 months later, i have a binder that is almost full of art rare, illustration rare, and trainer gallery cards. it is a binder that i will never sell
The don't compare and the stay on lane are the best ones, I love my dex, simple, I know people have complete sets or ilustration rare dex, but building my own on a budget has been an amazing experience
About 10 years ago, my mom used to babysit this kid that had a bunch of Pokémon cards. Despite my many other cards collection, Pokémon wasn't something I'd wanted to collect or play. Now, in my 30s, I started going back to some old hobbies and found a box full of cards that kid left in my parents house. Guess what? I guess I got a collection going now.
I really love your videos,actualy got me back into pokemon cards,bought a box of japanese 151 and pulled a masterball pikachu and erikas invitation SAR and couple more hits,i was pretty happy and looking foward for more,i dident know whT to get into,had the mentality of finishing a set before starting another one,but it seems like alot of effort
Awesome video! Definitely something new collectors struggle with. When I started collecting I wanted everything! Now I am focusing on art rares of the first 4 generations
Your videos and shorts got me to collecting pokemon cards haha.. for now i started with japanese pokemon cards since it's cheaper.. once I graduate I'll start colelcting the english cards hehe
Brilliant video and love the commitment to it with the hose 😅. I definitely get lost with wanting to collect too much but I gravitate towards the cards that bring me joy. Almost always it's the vintage cards and there are sets like Southern Islands I could never part with ❤
I had been collecting for years, but it stopped being fun. I ended up with 2 boxes full of cards and sealed product that I was never going to open and it sat there. The entire collection is now with someone who’s currently going through the lot to come up with a reasonable price.
I actually collection One Piece TCG not Pokemon, but I always getting some knowledge on your videos! Thanks for making me Happy on Collecting some Cards!
I'm a number person. I collect by sets and keep everything in order from 1 to the last number in the set. The duplicates I have are also sorted by number and set in separate stacks to be used for trading or selling.
I collect Gold Energies, so finding a gold fairy energy in pretty decent condition was really special to me, I also put initials on ANY sleeves of cards gifted to me.
This was one of the best videos you have made. It was super inspiring. The collection I’m very proud of is my Charizard collection. I have over 30 super rare Charizards.
Haha that point about not comparing to other collections.. I have a lot of cards from when I was a kid and accidentally started again so I wanted to make a goal to collect all the cards of my favorite pokemon, Rayquaza. When that woman showed her own collection, comparing was the first thing I did (I have like 1 total Rayquaza card) and immediately felt kinda discouraged because it's gonna take me a while to get even close to that :') Kinda nice that your advice to not compare came shortly after that clip. I'll just take my time
i had a hard time deciding what to collect when i started last year and you're right i had a thing where i saw others collection and was like, damn this is sooo much better, but since i started i drilled into my mind that i cant have what everyone else has because of where i'm located and i'm buying on a budget, and ever since i've had no fomo and i've boiled down to collecting holo rares and anythign fullart, gold, sar, alt art and promos, so i'm glad for anything i can get to purchase, the bulk i use with my friends to make decks we play against each other with
Lost Origin was my first master set I collected. I was proud to fully finish it and happy I got back into hobby. It revive just a childhood that was suppress by my parents because they didn't understand.
I just bought my first ever boxs (shiny treasure)of Pokémon card from a local convenience store. Turns out it was already opened and were missing 4 packs from each. Felt kinda sick in the stomach but watching your videos do light up my mood a little bit. I pulled a Charizard ex and a mew ex from them and they were gorgeous. No market value apparently but was my childhood favorites 2 Pokémon. Am about to go get a binder for them too
I have two binders in my collection. One is for all my hits/single purchases, which include all the "good valuable" stuff, and in my second binder, I simply collect holos, foils, and reverse holo rares. These don't hold monetary value, but keeping them in a separate binder is satisfactory to me because I see a collage of different colors and pokemon that I really like. I don't have that much bulk, but I do keep it safely stored in an ETB box. I'll probably end up giving it to younger kids who are getting into the pokemon community and are looking to kick-start their collections. Happy collecting everyone!
Well for me I got a 151 binder for Christmas I got a few art cards but the really good thing was when I got scarlet and violet packs I got the really rare Miriam alt art and I keep it in a mini binder and keep it in that chest so nobody steals it

Hello Pat Can you shout out me please?
Hey Pat how you?
Thanks for the great vid
I'm most proud that I still have my very first card from McDonalds when I was 5 in 2014. Thanks for the inspirational video!
Thanks pat 😊😊 or should I say pokemon King😅
The "don't compare your collection to others" sentiment is a great lesson in general and can be applied to many aspects of your life. Love it dude!
Tell that to missprint collectors, also comparing with others could give you ideas how to organize it to look much better
10th commandment: Thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's house.
Comparing and coveting others people's cards and thinking your collection is bad and inferior is a bad mindset. He is telling you to be satisfied and grateful for the collection you possess. A personal example of myself: I do not have a 1st edition base set charizard, I have a shadow boarder charizard, I should be grateful for what I have.
"Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life".
I wholeheartedly agree with this, a while ago I sold my collection because it was overwhelming me and taking over too much of my life. Then 151 came out and I fell in love. Now I’m solely focusing on a binder that will eventually have a master set of 151 as well as my favorite artworks of the original 151 Pokémon from sets I’ve accumulated along the way. As a 90s kid, the nostalgia helped me refocus as a collector. Having a goal and design in mind has made this hobby 10x more fun and more manageable than it was before!
This is exactly what I decided to do. The only problem is that im a year late and 151 is worth more than i'm willing to pay.
@@johnn5693 me too
I started collecting Pokémon cards just a few months ago and I’m from Dominican Republic and it’s been sooo hard, there ain’t many collectors or shops here, you can find some players, but collectors are hard to find. Your channel always inspires me to keep it up, even though it can be hard at times
I didn't know I need a coaching video in Pokemon cards collecting until I watched this video lol. Thank you for such great video.
omg AKT
whoa anh khoai tây đấy à?

Im just collecting the cards I like. I love full arts, but when I go to card shows, I dont purchase every full art I come across. I only purchase it if I genuinely like it.
I love opening my binder, and being happy every time I flip the page admiring the art work.
Hey I know I’m replying late but I wanna say that I 100 percent understand you. I never in my life thought I would start collecting and I literally just started, and what inspired me were the full arts. It makes the cards more of an artwork than just cards.

I definitely agree 1000%
this for me hit home, i was a crazy collector once just garbbing anything and everything and never completing, now i focus on 1 set at a time and complete a binder and give dupelicates away to the pokemon community, Pat as always you are a legend my friend, keep bringing us gold videos like this, see you at CP2 in June
This video helped me out so much! I am someone who collects and spends a lot of time researching and collecting not only Pokémon cards, but 80s toys, Funko Pops, Star Wars products, Masters of The Universe products, etc. and I struggle with storage. This video helped me out a lot with Pokémon card collecting! Thank you!
I love opening up Pokemon cards for my UA-cam Channel but what I’m most proud of is knowing that I found the love for Pokemon again. I’ve started my journey in June and since then I’ve been very happy. I don’t have a particular collection just yet but soon I will see what catches my eyes. Thanks Pat for everything you do for the community and I hope to one day be apart of these videos
i don’t collect pokemon cards, but i am still a fan of your channel and this advice has really impacted the way i sort and yugioh cards. i have been a professional player for the past few years and my desk is always covered in random yugioh cards that are either bulk or useful stuff. just having this advice has completely turned around my collection. thank you so much ❤️
I’m most proud about the fact that at the start of the year I only had nine v’s and now I have over 200 alt arts,golden cards, v’s ,vmax’s, etc and this channel inspired me to do so, so thanks pat
My sister started to collect last month and it got me and my mom hooked back to pokemon. This has been really enlightening video… setting goals is really the way, it can get really overwhelming. Thank you for sharing! I’m a big fan!
Been collecting groudon! Was losing hope but at trade night I managed to find 3! Honestly, I do look at my collection ALOT. It’s been definitely helping me determine what can come and go.
We sort our bulk in empty ETBs and label them. Might be doing something with our bulk involving our trip to Card Party 😏😉
As someone who's been in this for 25 years, this was actually all very good advice. Although I've rarely if ever let anything go. For the first 8 years of Pokémon I just collected everything - complete sets and every promo, but by the time of Gen 4, it all became too much and I just collected certain things. My main collections are Artist (Arita in JPN and ENG for example) or Species completism (JPN & ENG). I've got so many cards now that it's taken over parts of my house.
I didn't know where to start, so I decided to begin 'project pokedex', where I'm filling a binder with one of every pokemon in National Dex order. Whenever i get a new card of a pokemon i already have, i decide which artwork i prefer and keep that one. Its super fun and means I can collect from any set :)
Cool, just started doing the same after a little pause of 25 years😂.
I've recently started the same with only art i like the most of each Pokemon with an holo thing (of course not one that are overpriced) !
Glad to see that it's a common collection !!
What type of sort you'll do in term of binder ? One for each gen ?
This is exactly what im doing. I'm 30+ yo now and have a 1 yo son. When he's 6+, i'll show him my pokemon card collection hoping that he'll enjoy it too. I just started now and my wife bought me some surging sparks booster packs. After that, i'll buy in bulks hoping to get a new card or pokemon that i need. I'm excited 😂
Wondering about the binders too. I'm thinking 2 gens in 1 binder? Or get the 900+ card slots binder then put it all there.
I do this, but I keep the highest rarity to myself. One collection in Japanese, one in English. I have Korean collection too but that’s a different battle for a different day
In general I try to collect any cards that has a different illustration, but trying to focus my collection to not spend too much, I go with my favorite pokemon! I almost completed my volcarona/slither wing/iron moth collection and I discovered special edition of these cards a week ago like a STAFF one that I never seen before and it's a must now hahaha
Hello
I am one of the many who recently returned to collecting because of 151. I'm still figuring out my collection and where I want to go, first it was full arts then I started collecting vintage. Now I want to complete base set thru gym challenge heros, along with randomly picking up cards I like. Still figuring out this process but this video was very informational!
Pat, I think I’m most proud of my Trainer Gallery collection. I haven’t completed any yet because prices are insane 😅 but I have made great progress. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all DPM, see u at Card Party 🎉
Man... I really wished I watched this video sooner(and this channel as a whole really) When I was a lot younger, like during the early 2000s, I did collect quite a bit of pokemon cards and I knew gen 1 like the back of my hand. But as I grew older, I started to get busy with life and all. For some reason, earlier this year, after almost 2 decades, now with some adult money, I started to fall in love with collecting again(though what brought me back was one piece TCG initially), but this channel has really been a blessing and I'm just so happy seeing all the videos and collecting cards again myself. I feel like, in a way, I'm now trying to slowly heal the inner child inside of me who had to stop collecting at one point in time for whatever reason.
Thank you, pat. Just...thank you
I like how you talk about how some people get jealous when people have bigger collections than them and I can relate! And this video helped me a lot with working on that issue I struggle with in general.
Videos like this are always nice to watch from time to time.
It really helps you stay down to earth, and remember that as a long time collector these things may be obvious to me, but that's not true for everyone. Especially for people just getting into collecting for the first time.
I remember pulling a Latias & Latios GX 170/181 in my first ever pack of Team Up about a year ago. I got it graded and it came back a gem mt 10. That is 100% what I am most proud of in my collection.
Good for you mate
im most proud of my full art mega charizard from evolutions because for my birthday my cousin gave me on pack and i remember telling him i loved this particular card, then i got it! i'll never trade that card
If you re from USA you ll get a 10 🙂 Ask me from Europe... All the PSA 10 cards in usa aren't ten
Simply dudes bribe them. Do you know that? I know this for sure. You just give them extra 100 dollars for each card🙂OUPS, did i say too much? 🙂
@@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic I didn't pay any extra, besides, I'm from Europe as well.
@@feltmacaroon389 And i have a lie detector and it says you re liar🥱
I started collecting last December with the goal to complete the National dex but with a twist of collecting them all in reverse holos. Now 6 months later I’m only 100 or so cards away from completing it. It isn’t worth a ton but when it’s done it will look amazing! Thanks for the tips Pat! See you at Card Party!
Will start to do the same with art i like the most (who are not overpriced of course) and with holos in it !
The only thing that make me wonder, it's that i'll not be able to make trade since i only look for one copy each time :/
“Comparison is often the thief of joy” is so true in collecting! I think one thing you left out is do NOT let FOMO dictate how you collect or cause impulse buys. But yeah great overall video, staying in your lane is easily the most important thing!
I'm proud of my all my vintage Japanese pokemon cards, bc there cards I never had growing up and I just feel like they have wider and better window where the pokemon art is being displayed. I love trying to learn a lil Japanese. To me there just better looking cards all around 💯
I learned this the hard way when i got back in to collecting. Now im just sticking to collecting the all the artworks of my fave mon and maybe making the effort to complete smaller sets! Awesome vid DPM! Asking for that refill with a water hose took me out lol!
6:32 I pulled the gold arceus vstar from crown zenith not long ago and Ik that in retrospect it’s not that good of a card it’s valuble to me!!!
Bro same!!! Literally got it today!!! The art is so pretty
i just started collecting last week and so far its been really fun soaking up tons of information like a sponge. its a world i never knew existed. from all the pokemon products available to binders u can use, or sleeves. these types of videos really help spark that passion for it too. finding the webstore with the best prices last black friday was a fun challenge on its own. managed to pick up a Terapagos Ex Ultra-Premium Collection for only 100 bucks. might not sound cheap if u live in the US but where i live they usually go for 120-150. ill be opening it with Christmas and all troughout december ill open 1 pack every day
I can't comprehend how much this channel grew it's like I just saw it cross 100k yesterday and it's now almost at 800k incredible
Ive been collecting the trainer galleries. Then I realized there’s a ton of cards that have trainers and pokemon in them. Started off small and working my way up to the more expensive cards. Best part about all of this is i get to experience this with my kid. Its been a blast reliving a hobby i had as a kid with my kiddo and seeing his face light up when we find a card we need.
5:44 definitely going through this as im coming into my second week collecting. You watch so much of these big collectors it does make you feel a little left out 😅
Just got into the Pokémon collecting phase of my life. I feel rather late to the Pokémon fad at my age given I could've easily grown up with it but didn't until an adult. I absolutely love Luxray and the Shinx line as a whole and that's where I plan on starting. Your set challenges at conventions convinced me to sub and helped me choose what I wanted to collect in the first place.
I just started collecting last week, I have no concern of how impressive or expensive my collection is, I just enjoy seeing the different art for each card and like getting a bunch of new art to look at, it is just satisfying to see, and the rare cards are just a coll little treat that deserves to be displayed on its own. It is very much like videogame collecting. I just enjoy seeing it all together.
We appreciate you DPM! 🙏🙏
The greatest app of all time :D and free! Nuts!
Great video and some awesome advice! It took me a year of getting back into collecting to decide what I liked about collecting and now stay in my lane, save a lot of money and have a lot more fun!
that last one is so true that hit me last week, and I was jealous. In the end I am happy with the cards I have collected and will slowly progress them to where I want to be in the future
Only been getting back into Pokemon over the past few months now, collecting for nostalgia and also something I can hand down to my son one day every card I get now gets put into a binder with the thought of one day when my son looks at this he will have the same smile and wow factor that I had 😊 Pat I love your content also try my best to watch everything I can especially the lives you do great work mate 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video!! Really love the last bit about remembering its about the journey. Thats why I started this account. I have almost none of the cards I want yet, and I want to remember the journey !
I’m glad I watched this video, I’ve been on a journey to complete every set but I’ve decided to just try to collect every buizel card since it’s my favorite Pokémon, it is definitely more rewarding every time I get one.
Great video! One of your earlier videos talked about focusing down on a niche and not trying to collect EVERYTHING which stuck with me! I collect Steelix Engish and Japanese cards as a core focus, with a few other random cards I like here and there to spice things up. Done are the days of trying to master set EVERY set because I realized I ended up with a ton of bulk and I was spending money on cards I didn't really care about just to complete a set.
I'm starting collect these with my kids, it's being really fun so far, and as for now, we have the Alt Art Squirtle from Stellar Crown, 3 Charizard EX Dark Tera Type and a Leafeon EX from Prismatic Evolutions, these are our personal favorites! :)
I like to hold on to one of each card- like the holos or best condition one- and donate/trade the rest. I order them by type and dex number in my binders, and the act of ordering them that way is therapeutic and nostalgic to me. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the expanse of expensive and new pokemon card out there, but every time I reoder my cards I am reminded why I have them.
0:48 YES SORT IT BEFPRE YOU IGNORE IT so awhile back i bought a booster pack to help my friends with a master set but when the day came to give it to him i lost it i put it on my shelf and boom its gone.
Last year, I bought the Pokemon Holiday Collection and out of one pack of Evolving Skies, pulled the Rayquaza VMAX. I was in shock, to say the least....my best pull ever. My actual collection goals are really to complete modern sets as they are released (started getting back into it with Celebrations.). Also, I do collect Eevee and all it's evolutions in a special binder. That bulk adds up for sure, and I sell some singles that are duplicates but agree the selling side is another discussion. Thanks Pat!!
FANTASTIC video! Figuring out what to collect is a challenge. there are too many cards to catch them all (unless you have an unlimited budget). I try to adhere to most of these already, fortunately. I work towards "sets" by only keeping 1 copy of any card I pull. Exceptions would be the big hitter names that may appreciate over time. (rayquaza, pikachu, starters, etc).
I’ve had so many regrets from 6 year old me putting valuable cards in a deck without sleeping them.
yeah same :(
Sleeping
Same
@@Kagiku don't pick the low hanging fruit
Got to tuck your collection into bed😂
I'm a little under 3 minutes into this video and god damn 😂 The production is so, so on point 🙌 Points so far have been good too, especially NOT TRYING TO COLLECT EVERY CARD, IN EVERY EXPANSION, FROM EVERY SERIES. I think targeting specific cards is crucial! Awesome content man, keep it up, awesome knowledge for the Community. ❤
I love how you can really tell how much time and effort pat puts into his videos it’s awesome
What's not awesome though is the 100s of Millions of dollars people used to grade WOTC VINTAGE Packs that are now worth 20% of the value they were when he was pumping grading them. Almost none were graded before Deep pocket Monster promoted him grading his packs. Now he's created 10S OF MILLIONS IN DAMAGES FOR HIS SO CALLED FANS.
@@MeetJarred Can’t him for people “choosing” to do what they want with their stuff. 😂
@@TomThePokeKid Sure buddy! What's really sad is it's a MONEY GAME and Pat wouldn't be doing his channel if it weren't for the money. And that money mostly comes from CHILDREN. THAT in itself is pathetic and sad!
@@MeetJarred Money comes from UA-cam…. Not children…. Go someone else and be negative.
@@TomThePokeKid and when 90% of his followers are CHILDREN, that makes the money he makes off pokemon COME FROM CHILDREN, especially with his extra sponsors. Not UA-cam!! After all that is simple math, which any child, let alone you an adult should be able to do!
I have a binder for each generation its a mix of different sets in national pokadex number and its just cool to see the different artworks all together i didnt grow up with anime anything in the household so getting to grow up and love the cards so much and to have a collection has just been super fun
Just saw this for the first time... I'm begining my Pokemon Collection and my first goal is to complete all the Trick or Trade sets and get all the Mareep cards (English only for now). Later, I'll think of something else but for now, I'm pretty happy that my goals are very straight, can be done with a low budget and are relatively quick to achive. Enjoy your collections and have a great day!
Well made Video! I'm a Nintendo Collector that collect games, consoles, pokemon cards and figures and your tip works on both card collecting and games collecting 😁
I just started collecting. Very lightly though. In the theme of "catch 'em all" my goal is to make a "living dex" from packs my wife and I have exclusively opened. Our rarest or favorite card will take up each pokemon spot and replace previous editions with newer/better ones as we continue to open more packs. Keeping in separate binder(s) the other cards we just like
Oh that is a good idea!
Me sleaving my bulk 😂
Same lmao 💀 some of them just have cool art
Exactly Lotta cards just look really kool
I sleeve everything shiny 😂
I just back into the TCG after not playing or buying in almost 20 years. All these new card styles are so overwhelming but I know what I want to collect so hopefully it won’t be too bad
I recently(sommer 2023) started again to collect pokemon cards(first time since my youth) and your Videos about how to collect, storage and binder behavior really save me :D i am about to complete my master set of 151 :D just two cards missing!
I like the last tip. Collect what you like. I had over 100 Slabs of vintage cards. I didn’t like them better than Binders soooo I sold them all and went back to collecting in a binder. Nothing is cooler than unzipping a binder full of Pokémon cards. For me, I ONLY collect based off artwork.
At first i collected everything. Now i sold almost everything and only collect Steelix PSA cards. This makes collecting indeed way more fun. I would never tought i would own a Shining card in PSA. But here i am proudly with my Shining Steelix in a PSA9. Holy grail for me atleast. Collecting slabs for me is way more fun now so that i can showcase and display my pride and joy. Happy New year and keep it up 👌
So happy to learn I am collecting "the right way". I am much like the Rayquaza girl, but collecting Snorunt and Froslass. I'm pretty far with the English and Japanese cards, but my lane sometimes gets wider. I learned about Japanese sets having both Unlimited and First Edition cards, for example. New sets keep coming, of course. And then there are the remaining languages, which I am keeping as a stretch goal for now. The hardest part is to resist the urge to buy ETBs, as collecting a species means buying singles and not really pulling them yourself!
First time commenting on a video, but the card I love the most and am the most proud of - even in its very well-loved condition - is my Wizards of the Coast Black Star Promo Pikachu #1 because of the sentiment tied to it.
I received that card on a Saturday morning when my friend’s mother took me and both of her daughters to the first ever Pokémon League at our local Toys R Us. I played at that league with them for years.
Her mother is no longer with us, but if it wasn’t for her, I probably never would’ve learned how to play the game as she taught the three of us. I can guarantee my love for this ever-evolving franchise wouldn’t be nearly as great without those memories. ❤
I started my collection by watching your Gengar video challenge. Right now I'm collecting all the legendary and mythical pokemon from gen 1 to gen 9. I'm a little more than halfway done.
So proud of our 151-master set it was the second set that we really stayed with to master after having to sell our 98% zenith set to pay for expenses but between trading and opening it really was a ton of fun and has increased the love of the hobby 10x.
LOVED this! Great reminders! I’m most proud of my artist binder collections and specific pokemon collection binders
im mostly proud of my winnings from other poketubers. it has a lot of sentimental value and the cards are most important to me. i don't want to sell them it's just that Pokemon to me are like family, in my opinion and the artwork is so real. i hope to learn more about Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh collecting at card party 2.
As somebody who recently sorted through 2 years worth of Pokemon Card collecting I can honestly say this is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen - Sort it before you ignore it 😎
I needed this.
I still haven't completely found out, what I wanna focus on, so I've been doing a little of everything..
Time to narrow it down and focus on one or two things 💪
Figure that out?
After 6 years of collecting, I’ve finally focused in on one single binder. It’s a 16x16-1024 total-master binder. I collect, for example, my 4 favorite Arcanine cards. When a new, cooler arcanine comes around, I’ll replace an old one by selling it and using the funds to buy the new arcanine. Super focused and it makes collecting endless and fun for me!
I barely just started collecting pokemon cards and this video really made me feel happy with my small collection I have atm. My goal is to get as many gyarados I can find, but of course collect a lot of cool looking pokemon cards. Amazing and helpful video ❤️
I’m currently trying to complete my Scarlet and Violet base set. I am a big collector of stadiums (I never knew why, I just kind of got hooked on them😅), and in over 10 years, I still don’t have cards for all of the eeveelutions so I’m working on that too. I have had all of my cards for so long that, when it comes to trading, I don’t really like it because I have become attached to all of the cards in my collection😅
I hope to meet you one day, keep up the great work!❤️
i mostly collect alt art cards since i'm an artist myself, the art on pokemon cards is so wonderful what I am most proud of in my pokemon card collection is my ingo and emmet card I have, they are my favs from pokemon and when I finally got my hands on a full art card from them I am so happy, it is still a of the cards I am most proud of
I can relate to the problem of trying to collect everything and its making collecting much less enjoyable, so I was thinking of starting to collect promo cards since I’ve always loved opening all the boxes!!! I think i will start with a series like sword and shield then hopefully make my was down to some more vintage cards! This video was great, thanks Pat
My proudest moment was when I got my first hit. After over 10 years of not touching Pokemon cards, I restarted collecting them around the time Astral Radiance came out, and pulled the alternate full art Palkia V and full art Irida in the same booster box.
I also recently pulled the illustration rare Infernape from Twilight Masquerade last week :)
I’ve been buying singles and it’s been so much fun :). Seeing my collection come together and building cards that I like!
I love my Yuka Morri (clay) and Asako Ito (yarn) arts and crafts collection! current favorites I own are drapion v from crown zenith and altaria also from crown zenith. Goal is to get something more vintage next!
Honestly I am simply collecting stuff for the sake of it, but in moderation, a pack a week is enough to keep me joyful and excited for the next one, maybe even picking up a ETB once in a while when I have enough spare change, but just collecting those cards and putting them in a binder in the dex order is so therapeutic for me.
as a collector that just started last december, i must say that it took me about 1 month prior to decide what i want to collect. and i have not regretted taking my time to decide because i realised that i am a sucker for art rares and illustration rares and have started collecting them ever since. 2 months later, i have a binder that is almost full of art rare, illustration rare, and trainer gallery cards. it is a binder that i will never sell
such a great video man, really one of the best I’ve ever seen, the knowledge, the humor, everything so on point.
The don't compare and the stay on lane are the best ones, I love my dex, simple, I know people have complete sets or ilustration rare dex, but building my own on a budget has been an amazing experience
About 10 years ago, my mom used to babysit this kid that had a bunch of Pokémon cards. Despite my many other cards collection, Pokémon wasn't something I'd wanted to collect or play. Now, in my 30s, I started going back to some old hobbies and found a box full of cards that kid left in my parents house. Guess what? I guess I got a collection going now.
I really love your videos,actualy got me back into pokemon cards,bought a box of japanese 151 and pulled a masterball pikachu and erikas invitation SAR and couple more hits,i was pretty happy and looking foward for more,i dident know whT to get into,had the mentality of finishing a set before starting another one,but it seems like alot of effort
Awesome video! Definitely something new collectors struggle with. When I started collecting I wanted everything! Now I am focusing on art rares of the first 4 generations
Your videos and shorts got me to collecting pokemon cards haha.. for now i started with japanese pokemon cards since it's cheaper.. once I graduate I'll start colelcting the english cards hehe
Brilliant video and love the commitment to it with the hose 😅.
I definitely get lost with wanting to collect too much but I gravitate towards the cards that bring me joy. Almost always it's the vintage cards and there are sets like Southern Islands I could never part with ❤
I had been collecting for years, but it stopped being fun. I ended up with 2 boxes full of cards and sealed product that I was never going to open and it sat there. The entire collection is now with someone who’s currently going through the lot to come up with a reasonable price.
I actually collection One Piece TCG not Pokemon, but I always getting some knowledge on your videos! Thanks for making me Happy on Collecting some Cards!
Great advice, collector's fatigue is real. I love collecting cute + fairy Pokemon and my favorite Poko is Psyduck. :)
I'm a number person. I collect by sets and keep everything in order from 1 to the last number in the set. The duplicates I have are also sorted by number and set in separate stacks to be used for trading or selling.
I collect Gold Energies, so finding a gold fairy energy in pretty decent condition was really special to me, I also put initials on ANY sleeves of cards gifted to me.
This was one of the best videos you have made. It was super inspiring. The collection I’m very proud of is my Charizard collection. I have over 30 super rare Charizards.
I’m pretty new to getting back into pokemon cards, but my highlights are my base set squirtle that I got for 4$ and my shiny mew full art I pulled
Lovely idea with how to sort bulk! I’m going to jump into that right away!
Haha that point about not comparing to other collections.. I have a lot of cards from when I was a kid and accidentally started again so I wanted to make a goal to collect all the cards of my favorite pokemon, Rayquaza. When that woman showed her own collection, comparing was the first thing I did (I have like 1 total Rayquaza card) and immediately felt kinda discouraged because it's gonna take me a while to get even close to that :') Kinda nice that your advice to not compare came shortly after that clip. I'll just take my time
Insane production value and storytelling! Keep it up 😊
i had a hard time deciding what to collect when i started last year and you're right i had a thing where i saw others collection and was like, damn this is sooo much better, but since i started i drilled into my mind that i cant have what everyone else has because of where i'm located and i'm buying on a budget, and ever since i've had no fomo and i've boiled down to collecting holo rares and anythign fullart, gold, sar, alt art and promos, so i'm glad for anything i can get to purchase, the bulk i use with my friends to make decks we play against each other with
Lost Origin was my first master set I collected. I was proud to fully finish it and happy I got back into hobby. It revive just a childhood that was suppress by my parents because they didn't understand.
I just bought my first ever boxs (shiny treasure)of Pokémon card from a local convenience store. Turns out it was already opened and were missing 4 packs from each. Felt kinda sick in the stomach but watching your videos do light up my mood a little bit. I pulled a Charizard ex and a mew ex from them and they were gorgeous. No market value apparently but was my childhood favorites 2 Pokémon. Am about to go get a binder for them too
DPM! your content is unlike anyone elses in the poketube space. keep doing your thing!
I have two binders in my collection. One is for all my hits/single purchases, which include all the "good valuable" stuff, and in my second binder, I simply collect holos, foils, and reverse holo rares. These don't hold monetary value, but keeping them in a separate binder is satisfactory to me because I see a collage of different colors and pokemon that I really like. I don't have that much bulk, but I do keep it safely stored in an ETB box. I'll probably end up giving it to younger kids who are getting into the pokemon community and are looking to kick-start their collections. Happy collecting everyone!
Love this content so much. Also very helpful when my son and I are just starting our journey into the collection aspect of Pokemon
Well for me I got a 151 binder for Christmas I got a few art cards but the really good thing was when I got scarlet and violet packs I got the really rare Miriam alt art and I keep it in a mini binder and keep it in that chest so nobody steals it
Awesome video pat. I only recently got back into collecting but love looking back at cards I had as a kid
