In this episode of Pack Fresh Podcast, we sit down with Shalom Lor — the powerhouse behind BoomerTCG and head of The BST Collectors — to unpack his inspiring journey from growing up Hmong-American in poverty to becoming a respected leader in the Pokémon card community. We dive into his early investments in WOTC sealed booster boxes, how he used student loan money to fund his first Base Set case, and how Pokémon ultimately helped launch his ventures in real estate, community building, and entrepreneurship. 

Shalom shares how he balances a full-time career as a computer programmer while managing high-end Pokémon consignment, curating vintage sealed product, and organizing one of the most trusted vendor groups in the hobby. If you’re passionate about Pokémon investing, collecting sealed product, or building a business from your passion — this episode is a must-listen.
