Is it just me, or does the Pokemon community seem to be saturated with “Trust Me Bros” . . . people presenting themselves as definitive experts, circulating bold claims, yet refusing to provide quantifiable data or evidence to prove their positions. Recently, the Pokemon community has been consumed with a number of unsubstantiated claims and conspiracy theories without sufficient evidence. Some of these theories have gained prominence in the Pokemon investing and Pokemon collecting space, but are they true? In this video, I wanted to examine the origins of the "Trust Me Bro" phenomenon and how we can combat this problem in the Pokemon community. These are merely my observations and opinions; don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments!
Thanks for watching,
Pokemon Classics

Trust me bro: this is a great video 😉
I'll have to take your word for it . . . I guess. :)
Don't listen to this guy. Trust me instead, bro.
Solid argument . . . I'm convinced!
@@pokemon_classics quantified!
I miss the days in the early 2000s where we just appreciated the cards and its ability. These days it’s about the $$$ and the speculation on which sets hit it big or singles. Even coming down to kids who speak more in the $. Kids now a days say something, “I saw pull $100 dollar csrdeeé
S
Values and market dynamics can be fun, but they do risk ruining the experience if they are the central focus. I'm glad it wasn't a thing when I started collecting.
In 1999, as kids, we were aware of the card's values. Had to know to not get scammed trading on the playground. 😂
I still have base set decks I play with. I have had to sub in some cards from cheaper sets, but the magic of base set game lives on for some
I have waited for this video. Thank you for calling out the bros🙏🏽.
Great video. Always nice to have reminders like this and a good way to reset yourself in the hobby (saved for future resets). Excellent pace and delivery.
5:00 is when the video starts
At the risk of making a hasty generalization, NO honest seller will say "Trust me bro".
I am so glad someone is talking about this.
I have something to contribute, I have had some PSA 10's. Also I see that WOTC classic cards and their 10 grades are not always better than their 9 versions. Often white or hard to grade cards show why their 10's are better than their 9's but otherd do not necessarily. I know PSA has their rules and sometimes off center becomes a 10 but often it does not when a card is rare and expensive in a 10. So kinda the PSA pop control theory. But it doesn't mean that the 10's are not worth the money, people want to spend on them. It makes it even harder and more satisfying to buy/have it. And these are sociologics theories, much respect! Thx for everything!
You, PK & Rudy are my top 3 content creators. Appreciate you just keeping things as factual as possible.
Missed opportunity to talk about the time CGC gave Pokeradar that incredibly undeserving grade on his Illustrator just because he's a Poke Tuber and/or CGC wanted publicity.
Or that time Beckett got caught giving out black labels to a former employee!
I'm with you that pop control is largely a myth but you only talked about psa. If they were willing to slap that One Ring card with a 9, no way anyone can validly accuse them of pop control. We all know CGC and BGS were dying to give it an automatic 10.
You don't have to pop control a 1 of 1 card.
Both of those situations are anecdotal though. There will always be outliers and anomalies . . . just an unfortunate reality.
@@pokemon_classics Find an example where psa publicly gave a undeserved 10 to a card on their social media just for publicity lol
Man I love you, you're awesome. Always worth listening to
One of the few channels I enjoy, keep up the good work 👍
It will all crash down lile a house of shiny cards. We are all bros of trust!
Trust me when I say.... "Trust me bro"
Couldn't agree more! I got hate for pointing out a lot of things you've highlighted in this video recently. An issue is that a lot of people who consume "investing" content are only here for entertainment and will prefer comforting lies instead of the uncomfortable truth - trust me bro!
I think that’s a big part of it . . . confirmation bias clouds critical thinking.
Great video...much needed to help us stay grounded and not burned. I'm also a fellow teacher and the school kids got me into Pokemon.
That’s awesome! Hope you have a great school year . . . I’m starting to feel the squeeze now.
It would take a lot more than one printer to authentically recreate an entire booster box, lol. If that's a real claim, I would love to meet the person making it. What a wild ride. Good video. Good balanced thinking.
Great content, Classic! Good topic to discuss! 🪓🍻
Excellent video Classic! Love your content ❤
Becket black labels heard people who pay the 150 a card submission get higher black label gem rates back rather then bull rate
Theyre totally not overprinting right now and quality control is still solid. Trust me bro
Wow, never heard the stolen printer reprinting WOTC cards conspiracy lol, that one sounds so kooky
I hear this nonsense several times a week on a FB grading group. All wild conjecture no one can back up with a shred of evidence. The other very common one is 'why my mint card got a 6'. Everyone then looks at the card and usually find issues.
The only real issues I'm aware of are cracking and resubmitted cards getting different grades...
Classics never go out of style, trust me bro, who needs to hold down the B button to run, not me!
Rudy is a trust me bro
How
Comming from the only generation we’re we see 1st edition charizards n base set all the big hollows being passed round the play ground and treated so disrespectfuly lol big pile of hollows no penny sleeve and definitely no top loaders having no clue what they be worth now much older buying cards at 1000 plus for cards we were throwing around
Weirdos- sOuRcE??????
Here's my source... JUST FRIGGIN DO IT!!
Trust me bro this video gots all the facts !!
Waiting for the auctions of the week video, dont miss the awesome PWCC sales that happened with all kinds of never seen cards.
Coming soon!
>claims trust me bros an issue.
>Provides no stats or data on trust me bros being an actual issue, just anecdotes, opinions, and hypotheticals of them being an issue.
What did he mean by this?
Trust me bros have been around since a bro invented a square wheel and said it was better than a round one
Trust me PSA 11 is real 😅
Idgaf about anyones opinion or perceived expertise. I gain my own knowledge and expertise of this hobby. This way i never have to rely on anyones information but my own.
This is phenomenal🙏
Thanks! It's been ruminating with me for awhile now.
I trust you bro!
Hopefully, it's due to a solid claim with strong reasons and evidence . . . otherwise, I've failed you. :)
I trust you bro
It's Brah these days. Bro is old school, per my son. Trust him bro :)
No cap!
Trust
This phillip dude is one of them
i have blue"s clues vibes
One Piece is now king. Pokémon is for kids again.
Trust me bro, evolving skies will be the next big thing. No one listened and now im a legend. You trust me now bro? I dont trust myself. I just got lucky and i really liked evolving skies alot.😂😂😂❤
Subscribing to Pokemon classics will grant you 10 years of goodluck trust me bro. 😎lol
Have a PSA 10 day!!
Trust me bruh
Another classic banger
I appreciate the kind words!
You lost me when you tried to cover for PSA's bullshit grading.
There are valid points of criticism with how PSA grades (which I acknowledged), but the population control argument isn’t supported by the population report data.
there to many poketubers tellling you to buy everything
The real Pokemon Card Crisis is rich millennials ripping apart collectable boosters that the world is running out of so they can be popular on Tiktok. Much bigger Pokemon fans who work hard for their money and who appreciate the vintage boosters more want to collect them but these dumb jerks are literally tearing them up for cards that are common as sand on a beach. The entire inflated vintage card market was made by people who like money more than Pokemon and its taking the collectables out of the hands of better fans who like Pokemon more than money.
Anyone who says ES is getting a restock or reprint 😆
Im guessing you weren’t around for Roaring Skies
It would also be a "trust me bro" to say it's *not* getting a reprint. The whole point is, you can't claim something that is unprovable and unsubstantiated lol
How long after roaring skies came out did it get a reprint
I got 10 packs of ES at Walmart just yesterday
@@labutter420wasn't it like 2 or 3 yrs
Love love love!
Timmy!!!
Very ironic video
How so?
Don’t take advice from anyone who wasn’t investing pre pandemic 💯
As an hardcore Pokemon TCG fan, crash the card market thank you 😂
I've got my projects that are effectively difficult
