- New Jersey CollectACon 2024 was absolutely packed and insane this past weekend!! As a WOTC Collector I am currently on the hunt for Expedition and Aquapolis e-Reader Pokémon Card vintage holos and maybe a Crystal or two! A couple goal grail cards I was wanting this weekend was Expedition Blastoise and Charizard along with Aquapolis Tyranitar! Also I am sub 20 Master Balls needed for my Japanese Pokemon 151 Master Set so I am always tracking those down as well! I was able to negotiate some great deals with seller vendors through buying and trading! Come check out the largest holographic haul of the year along with everything I experienced first hand through this buyer/collector Point of View POV style video in Edison, NJ!
A few of the vendors I met and interacted with!! @gardenstatetcg @PokeEPete @tbc_games @bangerz_tcg

Drop a comment if you attended NJ Collect-A-Con!! Get any cool pickups?!
didn't attend but got a good taste of it from this content!
@@houndoomshouse Thanks dude! Tried to bring a little bit of everything to this video!!
Was there, was dope! Filled out 3 SV master sets and completed some SM and SWSH pack art sets. Was a great experience overall. VIP pass was the way to go as the line at the start of your video shows 😂
@@seanmccann3445 Sounds like an awesome haul! Congrats on finishing the master sets! VIP is always the move. I heard some people waited 1-2 hours to get in the building especially with the fire marshall cutting off attendance until more people left! At least from what I heard. The line didn't move for 30 minutes once in the afternoon.
I attended, it was my first trade show. Not even into Pokemon, was interested in the autographs, but I ended up picking up some cards anyway, and might be starting a small focused collection.
Some dude tried pickpocketing my phone at collectacon he got it but another vendor caught him. Shout out to him we got security to kick the dude out and enjoyed the rest of my collectacon day
Damn hate to hear that happened but at least he was caught instantly instead of the alternative. Glad the rest of your day was awesome though! Hope you got some awesome pickups for your collection!
this dude is sitting here trying to complain about damage on an already graded card. dude its a 4 its not going to be good, the vendor was being too nice and shouldve told you to kick rocks
100%! That whole interaction was just awkward and desperate.. seller had far too much patience for sure! It's a psa 4 it ain't perfect it is what it is 😂
I attended as a vendor and got a ton of cool pickups!!! I also had some unfortunate theft but hey cost of business and I didn’t let it ruin my trip!!
It was me. I was the thief 😂😂 two missing eReaders from your binder right 😂😂
@@GrimHorizonTV 😂😂😂
@@PokeEPete Wait until Calvin finds out lmao
@@GrimHorizonTV 💀💀💀
That might be the longest line I’ve ever seen
Insane line. It continued to grow too. The rate they were letting people in the building was so slow.
I got there an hour before the show started that Sunday and it multiplied alot before it finally opened
Sandaconda alt for Vulpix LC reverse, that's what friends are for
Only the best of trades with Pete!
I've been watching the Vendor POVs for a few months now and it's interesting seeing the other side, I'd fold under your negotiation too I'm surprised how long that Nidoking deal went on for haha.
Wish I could’ve made it! Enjoyed the weekend with family though so no big deal!
Always next time dude! Glad you had an awesome weekend with the fam!
I was there, I'm actually in the beginning of the video when you picked out warp point and walked around the corner to see the typhlosion. My son has the dragonite hoodie around his waist and I'm right next to him with the red supreme bag. I thought it was you when I was there but wasn't sure so I didn't say anything.
Just checked and saw you two! Hope you all had a blast at the show and got some cool pickups! If we ever cross paths again say hey and we can chat!
@GrimHorizonTV I definitely will, I was waiting to see if you posted a video from it to confirm it was you and seeing us in the video put icing on the cake. It was our first con and we definitely had an awesome time!
@@matthewtriplett45 haha always go with your gut instinct! So dope you two had a great time! Building those core memories with your son!!
yeah dude, this was my first collect a con and shit was crazy. Glad I attended this and will be going to the one in Richmond as well :)
Definitely the best one of the year to hit as your first! I should be going to Richmond as well! Say hey if you see me there!!
3:00 is that 6 moonbreons at one place? what a sight
cards like that crystal nidoking getting a 4 infuriates me. i submitted 55 cards and it almost made me want to quit with how screwed i got. and then i see cards like that nidoking somehow getting a 4 with that crease. all grading companies are pathetic with the ranges they give.
I feel that. Grading is a crapshoot these days. The Nidoking is actually very clean outside of the small crease at the top. Shame otherwise it would be a 7ish. But I'm breaking it open to slap in the binder. Master sets are more fun than collecting slabs at this point.
see myself in line at 1:25ish !! my pov on my channel not very good though.
What apps are you guys using to check price history, etc. ?
TCG Player App is what I use to comp cards! That or eBay
WTF is that line!!??? That's insane
absolutely insane. I am going to post the line in real speed so people can find themselves.
I was the kid in the white t shirt with self promo 🤙
Ayyy love when people find themselves in the vids!!
Awesome video man! It was nice to meet you also be on the lookout for the interview I did with you.
Great meeting you too dude! Can't wait to see all your coverage!
Bro that line to get in is no joke wtf
It's stupid long. I have a slowed down video of the line going live at 12 today so it will be easier for people to find themselves in it. It's legit insane
No joke would 100% go. Brings back the 90s for me.
Highly recommend going! It's a blast even if you don't pick up any cards!
BRO THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER. This weekend was wild, Jersey was lit and everyone showed up!! Next stop Charlotte!! 🔥🔥🔥
Actually insane amount of people. Charlotte will probably be massive as well, the Carolinas has some Pokemon fans for sure! Thanks dude!! 🤘🏼
I went! First con, it was dope i took my son we knocked out the venasaur alt art 151 set 🤘
Glad you had a blast and that is definitely a solid pickup! Do you have a complete 151 set now!?
Wish u we’re recording at that booth on Saturday lol
Really wish I was dude. That video would have gone straight to Bud. I kept an eye out all con for some Mewtwos though. Either beat up raw copies or overpriced slabs are all I found 😕
That line to get in was crazy, not sure I would wait in it! sweet pickups
It was actually crazy dude. I've never seen a line that long before. It was 11 mins power walking it of total footage! Thanks!!!
That Nidoking trade was another L for you sadly. Don't forget to be patient with these cards. Otherwise great video as always!
It wasn't great by any means and definitely in the vendors favor which is what he wanted with the trade. Fortunately I got that entire stack for very cheap and hour previous to this trade. They were all played cards too. I later traded the Dark Espeon for a Solgaleo Lunala full art and the Scizor for 7 clean expedition reverses. I made that $150 go a very long way in a short period of time. But totally get the aspect you are seeing dude!
Great meeting you AJ!
Awesome FINALLY meeting in person Sam! Looking forward to the future of your company! It really is an amazing TCG!!
Can’t wait for my first collect a con in October! 🎉 that line was insane in the membrane
You are going to have a blast for sure! Invest in VIP for the line alone. It is well worth skipping all of that..
Why you never bring your own toploaders? lol
actually great question lmao. I always have a stack in my backpack. But when I have a friend vending I keep my backpack under the table so I don't kill my shoulders all day. I usually only walk around with my camera and Zion sling to throw singles in I pick up. Probably be smart if I had some empty ones in it but never remember to do so.
lol sandacondas.. thats right pete just take the mic. now mic drop
@@roguerang3r933 ALLL THE CONDAS 😍😍😍😍😍
How many sneks is too many sneks?!
@@GrimHorizonTV never too many!!!! We up to 733
@@PokeEPete That is just insane lol
Great video man! Love the Raichu pickup. Looks like it'd be kind of an overwhelming show!
Even being used to these kinda settings it was still too much. Legit fighting your way through crowds just shouldn't be the case. I feel the venue should have been bigger for the anticipated outcome of the show. So many people missed flights on Friday to come up too due to the Crowdsource outage. I can't imagine how it would have been with even more people in attendance.
I think LP prices was fair on the Meganium
Definitley was fair. It just wasn't the copy I wanted for that card so I didn't try to work a deal. Mainly was interested in that jumbo right then and there!
Awesome stuff! Thanks for stopping by. Seems like you picked up some goodies 🤘 New Jersey Collect A Con was absolutely bonkers
Preciate the deals guys! Super easy to work with! Insane event for sure, one the craziest in a long time!!
PLEASE tell me the name of the song in the beginning when you were filming the line.
The Mad by Heyson!
what app is the guy using at 5:45?
TCG Player app! You can use either their website or their app
Dam, i was already inside by 10am 😮
I think it was getting worse as the day went on! I filmed it once at 9:30 and it wasn't even half this size!
Hey do you know if you get vip, do you have to waite in that line outside to get in?
Correct you can skip the general admission line and get in an hour before the doors open as well to the public
@GrimHorizonTV sweet. This will be my first time going. For Chicago collect con. Thanks from the info
@@bradlw06 no problem! Hope you have a blast!
Oh I see myself on that massive line hahaha.
There are so many people waiting. How long did you have to stand in line?
@@GrimHorizonTV I found a friend in that line otherwise I would’ve been in the back. Luckily it was moving lol 20 min only
@@clintorous You definitely got lucky then. I heard some were waiting well over an hour. That is just nuts.
imagine trying to trade at 85% when youre not even a vendor, you have no overhead, this last dude is fucking cringe.
I believe he actually was a vendor. Not sure if he was set up or not but I found his IG after he said his handle. Either way I am pretty happy with the Nidoking even though I gave up more than I would have liked to for it. I was in those cards cheap I was trading off but totally get what you mean.
Why do the vendors in the glass cases not use top loaders?
Not sure. Most likely to save a bit of space but it does make it harder to grab them out for sure.
@@GrimHorizonTV I usually use top loaders figured it would be easier/safer
@@ChiefWrestler59 agreed. A lot easier to pull them all out too when ready to pack up.
I need to buy more Vintage again🔥‼️
Yessssss. I want to fuel everyone's vintage addictions 😂😂
@@GrimHorizonTV 😂 It’s Working🤣 I have some on my insta since I started following you!!
@@pokegold_hits Just dropped a follow back!!
another great video i love watching the buyer povs
Thank you!! Love making these videos! Going to keep collecting anyways so why not film it?!
That Nidoking trade was pretty bad on your part unfortunately. That guy wanted too much.
Agreed it was definitely in his favor. I was in on those cards really cheap from an hour or two previous to that trade and I decided to just pull the trigger and get the King. I broke it open it is a shame with the small crease at the top because the entire card is super nice. Looks great in the binder though!
"Hello, I'm from Morocco. I would like you to see my Pokémon collection. I want to sell it."
Sure shoot me a dm on Ig!
Whats the cool song at the intro

The Mad by Heyson
Event manager needs fired for that line my goodness
I'm not sure how the facilitation was with getting people in versus the amount of people. They were most likely overwhelmed. They definitely should have known it would be packed
What app do you use to price check?
Typically TCG Player for raw cards and usually eBay as well!
what camera and mic do you use?
The Camera is just my iPhone with a neck holder so my hands are free and I use Rode Wireless Go mics!
@mobros scales watch it he cheat
what?
how long were u in line for
I fortunately had VIP which got me right in. The general admission line was absolutely insane
to much music.
i like music
Aye
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
i'm at 1:58
The line was a 11 minute video by itself. Might repost it so more people can see themselves in it. It's right at 700 times speed in this video 😂
Man the videos are great but the music... 😬
I like the fast pace beats for the intro. All the vids are like 500-700x speed so need something cookin along with it. However also always need background music to drown out the music they are playing at con. Copyright strikes left and right
@@GrimHorizonTVfair 👍
