Binder and Brew: A Pokémon Podcast

This week on Binder and Brew it's time to suit up as we take a closer look into Poke-Investing. Can you beat the markets or is it all just shiny cardboard? We talk about all things for the Pitch Black release weekend and Joel has been at the Chepstow Card show and feeds back a different way to attend a show!
