    Really enjoying the series mate! Doing something very similar at the moment. Have a look at buying cards that have conjoining artwork or like the legendary birds/dogs - buy them individually but sell them as a set of those 3 cards, people usually pay the higher mark up for the ease of not having to hunt for them!

      Hi mate! Appreciate you saying that! I remember you mentioned before you're doing the same, hope it's been going well!Yeah, that's actually a great idea. I can see people paying more for the full sets as less hassle than hunting them down! Cheers for the tip!!

      @@PokeTamerI reckon the vintage birds would do well and wouldn’t be that hard to pick up fairly cheaply depending on which version you go for. People as well will just buy for one or maybe two cards to complete their master sets or to quick start a collection with all three. Also a cheeky one, I uploaded my first videos mate if wouldn’t mind checking it out that would be grand! See if you like it 👍🏼

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  2 месяца назад +1

      Yeah, there are some options for what set you could go for with them. I keep seeing the black star promo birds listed together, and I keep getting tempted as I need them 😅 will hold out for getting them cheaper separately, though.
      Loved the surging sparks video 👍

      @poketamer yeah it’s so easy to spend on bundle cards when you just need the one. It’s like 2 for 10 at the shops when you only want one item but can’t resist the deal 😂

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  2 месяца назад +1

      😂 This is literally my life. Spending more on a bundle thinking I'm getting a great deal, because there's one nice card in it.

    First time viewer and new subscriber here! Thoroughly enjoyed the video and decided i'd comment with support before hearing the end of the video! Don't shoot down the 1000 subs opening!! You'll be there in no time. Keep it up! I've had a dabble in the ol' ebay flipping but never considered selling a binder, fantastic idea. Looking forward to follow the journey!

      Flipping a binder is a great idea. I was considering it myself, for 151. I saw people selling the base set for relatively low, and then people selling the full set for over 1300. I think now maybe the cards to fill it out are too expensive, but most of the secret rares are so cheap, especially raw, it seemed like buying the set, then upgrading it was well worth the time.

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching and subscribing!! I haven't collected too much of 151, but I keep seeing how popular it is. People are going crazy for it at the moment. I feel like all the prices are slightly inflated. 1300 for a full set is STEEP!!
      There are so many chase cards in the set though, ones that people love. I wonder if the prices will continue to rise or dip back down?
      I see the base set binders that you mentioned listed occasionally. That could be worth doing, throw in a few of the cheaper rares that you mentioned and if you could source it all for a decent price, there's got to be room for some profit!!

      @PokeTamer no problem, I think the best Ive sold is 2 giratina vstars from crown zenith as I pulled 3 of them so I graded them all and they all got 10s which was a huge profit.

    The videos are getting more views, Great! I have almost watch all the videos and i will leave some feedback on the last video. For now i would suggest watching some of the PokeAddiction videos finishing base set with 100$. He's doing almost the same thing as you. Might be interresting to learn (depends on how serious you are taking RUclips.)

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  19 часов назад

      Yeah I found his channel recently, love the videos. He's definitely got more of a 'goal' and more organised than me! 😅 I set out to try and complete team rocket, but it's sort of just turned into a general profit and loss series where I see if I can make a profit reselling. I think I will have a more fixed goal in my next challenge. 💜

    • @RichardJWZ
      @RichardJWZ 18 часов назад

      @PokeTamer I think you're on the right track with that thought. Viewers love a well tracked goal. I think the major part of his succes is that the videos are so goal-oriented. Seeing every video what is still needed and what is added really helps. The goal of completing sets is fun, but i find it really hard to track the progress.

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  18 часов назад

      Yeah 100% agree with that. My goal for this has switched to just making a profit. I guess it's been easier to do for my first RUclips experience than the more complex completing a set at the same time. Something to look at in the future for sure. Thaks for all the feedback mate 💜

    Nice video but seing this on cell phone can see nothing on the excel. Here's a design trick, dark background, light letters like white, or if you prefer light background, dark letters. Another suggestion is you can put the red background on only the values columns.

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  Месяц назад

      You're 100% right. It needs something better. Do you reckon you could read it with just the colour changes? Or should I make the text bigger on screen too? I feel like even on desktop the excel needs improvement as it's slightly out of focus.
      I will try to think of something better for the next update video! Thanks for the tips and suggestions! Thanks for watching!!

    • @collectorcrazepika
      @collectorcrazepika Месяц назад

      @PokeTamer you can make it a little bigger too. But the colors will help. If you don't want to be bigger you can try using bold on the text on the first column, for example. No need to thank. As you put the effort on the videos for us, just glad to help 😇

      Thanks mate! Yeah that's something I really wanted when I started collecting again! I get hit with nostalgia looking back through it!

    Hi nice binder. I’m trying to complete the same set at te moment. I know you finished the Fossil set, cause you collected all the English cards. But you are missing a card. It’s the Japanese Mew from fossil set 😉 you have the cards but as a promo.

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  Месяц назад

      Thanks! 😁 Haha yeah you're right! I didn't even think of that! I wish they had included the mew in the English set. I don't have any Japanese cards in the binder, but maybe that would be a good one to add as a little extra!
      How's your collection going? Are you collecting English or Japanese? Thanks for watching!

      Your welcome.
      I’m collecting near mind condition cards in the English language, but I have a few Japanse misfits among the collection. Before you ask I haven’t found the Japanse Mew with the fossil logo for my collection. (Still on the hunt for one)
      My Base set is almost complete.
      The others are missing to many holos. But I got most of the commons and uncommon cards.

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  Месяц назад

      @hendrik-jankooij3127 sounds awesome! Love vintage binders. If yours are near mint it will be far better than mine too 😅 Sounds like my Team Rocket set, I have nearly all the common and uncommon, just need to concentrate on the holos. So expensive though 😭 we will get there one day!!

      @PokeTamer  9 дней назад

      Thanks mate! Appreciate it 💜 I feel like the spreadsheet is so bad in this video 😅 I improved it loads in the latest sales update. I used excel or Google sheets. No idea what im doing, I used ai to create all the formulas! I tried to find a template online, but no luck!

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  27 дней назад

      No, I literally just used my very basic/non existent knowledge to create this terrible table 😅 However!
      I've got a new sales update video coming out in the next few days where I've upgraded the excel. Combination of using a template, watching lots of RUclips tutorials and using ai to create formulas. I think it's a massive improvement! So keep an eye out and let me know what you think!

    Nice video 😊 have you downloaded the Pokémon TCG pocket yet? Also, how realistic would it be for me to try and collect all 151 originals for cheap?

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you! I haven't yet, have you? I've seen lots of stuff mentioned online. I'm not sure whether I would enjoy not having the physical card in my hand!
      The originals like the Kanto Pokemon? The first time each of them appeared in the tcg? It would mean collecting cards from Base, Jungle and Fossil. You wouldn't need to complete the sets, but there's some expensive cards in there! The charizard would set you back a bit on its own! I think Mew first appeared as a promo card too.
      You could collect the original Kanto 151 from any sets? That would be the cheaper way of doing it, so you could choose Kanto pokemon from modern sets too? Some great artworks available for that.

    • @M1k3Mc4
      @M1k3Mc4 2 месяца назад +1

      @PokeTamer sorry yes, any sets of I could get them in order in a binder, then look to get shiny or alternate versions of them too.

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  2 месяца назад +1

      Yeah, that sounds like a good idea! I think you could do that relatively cheap, then like you say, look to replace some with alternate versions once complete.
      If you use tcg player. You can search the pokemon by name, then filter by most expensive etc. It will show you the cheapest card available for each one. Good luck!!

    My son has a bunch but I think some are fake.. how can I tell completely?

    • @PokeTamer
      @PokeTamer  28 дней назад

      Are they newer modern cards or the older vintage ones?
      Vintage stuff the best way to tell is to look at the edge of the card and see if you can see an ink line (a darker bit of card sandwiched between two lighter pieces). If it just looks white etc along the edge it is probably fake.
      Modern stuff it varies, I'm still learning. But it's usually the texture, holo shine and font that give away fakes. Biggest tell is if the image looks very flat and has one big rainbow shine that goes across the entire card.
      Another way to go, if there's a specific card, is to find someone who has pulled that card in a RUclips video and compare yours to theirs. If they've filmed it in decent lighting etc.
      It's a tough one though, as it varies between different sets/eras of cards. Good luck spotting those fakes! I hope they are all legit!!
