Love this video ! Gives a very realistic & behind the scenes understanding of buying/selling percentages, what you can list cards at, how to keep track of those cards & make a profit margin etc etc. Thank you for doing a breakdown and showing it to everyone else ! Very articulate.
i just picked up a japanese arcanine because it was the first jp card i had seen at like 7 years old in a neighbor's binder and was obsessed ever since
Watching and listening to this, gave me an enjoyable podcast-like experience! This video made my card sorting hassle, much less brain hurting. So peaceful
Hey Oyama thank you for another video. Very insightful what you have in binders and your point of view about different cons and buying cards. My favourite Pokémon would be blastoise. Always loved him from the films and have his vintage holo card from back in the day can't let it go. So many great card artworks of him too!
I relate to your videos so much! I got back into collecting Pokémon during covid. I had stopped back during the Diamond and Pearl era. My favorite Pokémon has been Cyndaquil. I’ve always loved its personality from the anime. Keep up the amazing work! Also, I’m a collector and whatnot seller in Sacramento area. Planning to start going out more to card shows to do trades/sales. I used to go to card shows with my dad growing up so that’s the biggest reason I love your content.
@@nathanielyamamoto3318 thanks so much for sharing all that. That’s an awesome memory to share with your dad and yes Cyndaquil is top tier for sure, always my gen 2 pick. Would love to say hi at a show sometime! Plenty in the bay.
I love the idea of sharing our favourite memories. When I was like 7 years old my father came back from a weekend at his fathers and brought me three Neo Genesis Boosters I think they were the first boosters I ever opened as well. In the first one was Cyndaquil, in the second Quilava and in the third Typhlosion, which was my favourite Pokemon at that time due to Pokemon Gold.
Absolutely loving these videos! Keep up the great work. I love watching people explain their hobbies and why they are passionate about these things. As a newbie, I don’t currently have a favorite Pokémon. I used to watch a lot of the TV show though, and I loved that! Seeing some of these pokemon and characters brings back crazy memories!
I dunno if I'm too late on this but I wanted to share anyway! Mew is my absolute favorite Pokémon. It's so cute and powerful and mischievous, and whenever I feel sad, I think about Mew and it cheers me right up. Watching the first movie as a kid, I saw Mew and was just mystified by this little pink space kitty and I fell in love. September 14th I will be getting a Mew tattoo and I am so excited to have my Pokémon partner forever by my side.
My favorite is Sylveon! I've always loved the Eeveelutions. I found the idea of choosing what you can be when you grow up fascinating when I was a kid. I got my first Sylveon in Gen 7 during a tough time after losing my cat the previous year. Learning that Sylveon's ribbons have a calming effect reminded me of how my cat used to curl up on me and purr whenever I was sick. I decided to keep Sylveon on my team, pretending it could offer the same comfort irl. Surprisingly, it did. It felt like my cat was still with me, sharing my adventures. I've transferred that Sylveon through my games over the years, and we're now exploring Kitakami and Blueberry Academy together.
Just found your channel! Definitely gonna make my way through all the videos. Really helpful information for me as I’m trying to start vending. Where do you typically like to source inventory for selling?
@@the_one5one thank you and congrats on starting to vend! Im starting a bit of it in October too. Most of the volume I buy online on facebook and reddit. That’s been the fastest way to buy like $2000 from one person at 73% kinda thing. It does take time though in some ways buying correctly is the harder part of the equation!
Gengar is definitely my favorite. I've always loved ghost types, and who's better than the og ghost. The VMAX alt is also one of the coolest cards I have ever seen.
My favorite has to be Sylveon! I love all the eevee evolutions and it's so hard to decide, but if I had to go for one it's Sylveon! It's so cute and pink lol
Beautiful binder! 👌👍 love the different categories. Delta species is a lost era for me too I can relate, I think I stopped after HGSS then got back into it last year
Thanks Jake for always engaging with the vids. Re: delta species lost era, probably dates us as being around the same age haha. But they are such cool cards!
@@oyamastrading yer I’d say we could be round the same age- feel so old now 😂 your welcome my friend, thank you for the cool content! I’ve been itching to do a video of my binder collection- I wanna fill up my binder first, itl be my first ever video if I do post it 😅 I envy those shining cards!
@@oyamastrading yer same love a binder collection! Haha I’ll let you know- got a 16 pocket binder so waiting to fill it up all the way 😱💪 I’m about 300 cards away..
@@oyamastradingthey do! Almost have master set 151 and obsidian flames and started to work on paldean fates, but def gonna do a lapras hunt similar to your scizor page.
Nice binder! Maybe the last two slots in the trainer page can be the arven and mabosstif from SV base I think the colors would really look well with the rest of the cards! Cheers
i think I’m to late but i really wanna share my fav pokemon is snorlax because in my opinion he’s really cute lol and just kinda reminds me of myself kinda lazy (don’t worry i walk and run and go to card shows) and raichu because he’s just so cute
Already know this will be good! Favorite Pokémon is Milotic or Ampharos. Always gravitated towards ampharos in the earlier games, thought it was so cool. Milotic is my favorite cause it was my first card I ever remembered having as a kid. Ended up jumping in the pool with it in my pocket lol.
I’m 35 years old 😊 and only recently started collecting again … Gen 4 is the last I remember as a kid before I moved on to teenager stuff back in the 2000s in Milpitas 😊 . Gotta say I’m all about the modern stuff now … have a near complete aquapolis master set from my childhood … e card IMO are the best sets to have ever been released so I hope Pokemon does something similar in the future
George thanks for always engaging with the vids man. I'm just a touch younger than you and also got back into it this year, I played all the mainline games but stopped the cards around the start of Gen 3.That Aquapolis/Skyridge e-reader era is so sick! That's awesome you have your childhood stuff.
@@oyamastrading I’ve been offered $8,000 cash all 100 dollar bills for my aquapolis binder … fortunately I’m not in it for the money so every card is saying in the binder to hopefully someday pass it down to my kids … ya man … the late 90s and early 2000s were truly magical days 😁
Great content! Been watching on my alt account for a while but jumped over to this one (my Japanese Pokemon Card channel) real quick to just mention that when you're in Japan and need someone to show you around the card stores and help with the language, etc., feel free to hit me up! Always happy to help a fellow collector~
Dude big fan of your content! So kind to offer. So the name Oyama is my mother’s side.. i was born in Japan and speak conversationally fluently :) but i would really value your tips on the best card stores in Tokyo and Osaka. Ive done a little research but you would have the absolute inside scoop!!
@@oyamastrading Ah right right, I was thinking that might be a possibility but didn't want to assume....! Your Japanese is probably better than mine then haha. But yeah, feel free to shoot me a message anytime~ Keep up the awesome content!
Thanks for watching! The binder is a VaultX 9 pocket binder. I have a couple of them, they work great. I'm actually waiting to hear back about an affiliate code with VaultX that'll let subscribers get 10% off, but no need to wait on it if you're in the market for a binder :)
Hey again! I just got that affiliate code from Vault X. If you want a similar binder for 10% off, using this link (or code "myoyama") will also kick a 10% commission back to the channel. No pressure at all, but if you're in the market for a binder anyway :) www.vaultx.com?ghref=25025:687448&discount=mroyama
alakazam is by far my fav, and its always been between gengar and alakazam. but now as an adult, i love alakazam, when i play, i use alakazam. gengar kinda disappointed me on pokemon go... lmao... so i kinda lost love for him.

Appreciate that. I made a conscious choice to stay almost entirely away from pack opening content.
This is why i love your channel, realistic buyer POV its really more about collecting.
