Delta species so hot right now.

The pain of a loss is 10x the joy of a gain.

My thoughts:

First of all, thanks for the Charizard, Ken. We tend to remember our losses more than our wins. A couple years ago I sold black label stamp promos. Haven't thought about it whatsoever since then but now that black labels are so expensive it suddenly hurts a lot. Reflect on your wins and learn from your mistakes and you'll be alright.

I bought the ugliest Charizard.

My thoughts:

This is a rare circumstance where I took a card I don't like mostly because I know it will eventually sell or trade well. Yeah it's ugly but it's also Mitsuhiro Arita art and a super hard card to find. This is the only copy I've seen in person graded or otherwise. The OG moonbreon will probably be gone at my next show. Thanks for the deal, Victor, enjoy your Gold Star Mew!

Pending zelle transfer becomes a successful deal.

My thoughts:

A pending zelle transfer can torpedo a deal under the best of circumstances. Thankfully Kelly, Stephen, and I have a good relationship and have done many deals to the point where we trust each other with thousands of dollars worth of each other's cards and cash on a verbal agreement alone. This level of trust takes time to build and requires a good reputation. I'm grateful to Kelly for her trust and her PSA 10 Giratina V Alt Art.

She was speechless

My thoughts:

I love seeing people be happy whether that's because they got a good deal on a sale or a purchase or a gift it makes no difference to me. Seeing other people be happy makes me happy, especially when they pay it forward and try to spread their joy to someone else. In this case it was a mother and son and he got his first graded pokemon card for free at . A gold star greninja promo.

¿Compressed Español?

Mis pensamientos:

No I don't speak Spanish, but I am fluent in deal making and pokemon cards. These two cards are fast movers for me. Can't seem to keep them in the case for more than a couple of days at a time. Thanks for the Phantasmal Flames Charizard and White Flare Reshiram, Aiden!

Sold his collection for car repairs

My thoughts:

Collecting can be very practical. Having nice things to sell in case of emergency is a blessing. Some people spend on experiences, some people spend on tangible things. I'm grateful to George for selling me two modern grails Gengar VMAX from Fusion Strike and Rayquaza VMAX from Evolving Skies.

I was not expecting this.

My thoughts:

$350 seemed kinda cheap for a tag team promo of 2 of the most popular pokemon around. I had no way of knowing the card was gonna move 50% in a matter of weeks, but I like tag teams and I like Garchomp and Giratina. You'll also notice I make a referral to my vendor neighbors in thsi video. Not every card is for me, but I'm always happy to help out a neighbor especially if they pass the vibe check. Helps the vendor, helps the attendee. Great way to build relationships.

My first 1st Edition PSA 10 Charizard

My thoughts:

Sometimes I get excited to buy cool cards. No crazy interactions or wholesome moments or negotiating in this video. Just a fun ride to my location in Downtown Redlands to pick up a grail.
