The Hobby Is Real, Even If The Pokémon Case Isn't


Listen Later

This has been an absolute wild day in the hobby and there is plenty to talk about! I start with the massive news of the sealed case of 1st Edition Base Set Pokémon that Logan Paul purchased for 3.5 Million Dollars turned out to be fake! Why this is so important is that the box was veriified by the Baseball Card Exchange. Knowing this information it is clear to see how this can have implications on the hobby at large since BBCE has become an industry standard in verification. What we can take away from the situation is that humans can make errors! I absolutely feel bad for all parties involved, and it is definitely not a feel good moment.

Next up we talk about some huge news from the Breaking Community where a well known breaker commited a massive blunder. They were livestreaming a FREE break as part of a giveaway and upon realizing they pulled a MASSIVE hit that could be worth over $20,000, they decided to keep the card. Bad form for the breakers, bad form for the hobby and just not a good look in general. 

We wrap up with a story of how I thinned the hoard! I had someone come to the Just Collect/Vintage Breaks office and purchase over 35,000 ungraded  vintage cards from me! I came to grips that I wouldn't get the same amount as if I sold them individually, but knowing that I didn't need to go through the cards to price them individually was very appealing. Also knowing that I didn't need to pay eBay fees was a HUGE relief! By recognizing what the buyer could bring to the table in terms of expertise and fair business, I felt great to strike a great deal!
