Hello there! I am Pokemaniac Stephen, thank you so much for watching! I've always been a nerd at heart and pretty sure ever since Pokemon came out it has made me want to collect. Here we open up a lot of Pokemon cards but also unboxings of collectibles, haul videos and dive deeper into the world of Pokemon. So if you love collecting and Pokemon, you came to the right place and would love to have you on board!
#Pokemon #PokemonCards - บันเทิง
legit one of the best intros i’ve seen in a long time 😂
Thank you thank you! It’s a tough job acting and doing my own stunts but it pays off in the end. Lol
Ya 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi
Vary cool lol
Same
I'm a mum of a pokemon collector and this was so helpful. Will be helping my son to organise his cards just like this. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful 😄 hopefully it goes smoothly for you!
I’m a Pokémon collector and this is so helpful thank you so much
Same. Had absolutely no idea how to organise them. Think it's going to be a bigger job than I had anticipated 😅
The infomercial opening was the best. Lol. I've been meaning to get a 3x4 binder instead of the 3x3 so I can just have more cards to look at each page.
lol thanks! Oooo I'm gonna have to check out this 3x4 binder business
This video has helped me and my son organize all his pokemon cards. Thank you for all the links -- it made it so convenient since we were having trouble finding pocket pages that fit well with the sleeves. Thanks again!
Loving this video. You gave a lot of great advice. About the only thing I would have mentioned is unless you keep your collection lock tight in a closet or safe, moisture/grime is always bound to get to these plastic pages and will make them look dirty over time. This is something I’ve learned the hard way a while back and I’m kept being reminded about every so often too
Ooo good call out! Gotta watch out for dust and the environment you live in. We need to keep them in like time capsules lol
Been watching these videos a lot lately. I've been getting back into collecting and these videos are so helpful!
I'd love to see a video on what you do with your bulk pokemon cards at some point!
Glad it’s helpful! 😄
And welcome back. I actually do need to do something with my bulk cards lol have a couple ideas but I can definitely put something together!
I use the Ultra•PRO pokemon card sleeves too and as a tip with them for anyone who didn't already know you can fit two to four (maybe more best with only two though) in each of the nine slots.
I agree with this! I do have some with like 3 or 4 in there, starts to get pretty tight lol 2 is safe
oh my god th-cam.com/video/Il3LkTS84bA/w-d-xo.html
Subscribed on the basis of your intro alone. Bloody brilliant mate, deserves more views :)
Let’s Give this man an applause for that intro He went a head and dropped all those cards in the floor for an intro picking them up and flipping them the right way is so hard and takes so long long 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😂 My heart sank dropping all of them in the moment when I filmed it, definitely was some work but worth it! Thank you for the comment!
I've been looking for a video like this to show how to order in this specific way! I have been searching for days and I mean it literally!!! Thank you so much!!!!
You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help out 😄
Dude congrats on hitting 200, very well deserved!! 🙌🎉🥳 Keep up the great work! Awesome video I’m running out of ways to store all my cards lol every time I look there’s another pile 😆
Thank you so much man!
Dude the struggle is real lol stay strong! 😆
organization is key, the etb dividers are my favorite for keeping master sets divided nicely
True! I do love those things. I just need like 100 more to house all these cards 😆
Man that big breather moment is exactly how I’m feeling!! Thanks for this great video!
Lol sorting can be overwhelming and surprisingly a physically taxing task. Thanks for watching and commenting 😄
I'm just getting into the basics, thanks for the informative video.
Lol great video! I started out ambitious and wanted to collect every set instead of focusing one at a time but iv since got some organisation. I ended up doing a lot of documents and stuff to work out exact folders I needed and labeled them all up. Then the cards themselves stay in a box till I get enough to start placing them in folders. I just enjoy sorting and organising things lol always good to see how others do things though :)
Thanks so much!
Dang you sound like you have a pretty hardcore system. I might need to take some notes here lol.
Cool to hear a little about your journey though with collecting. Sometimes experience is the best teacher
@ lol I think my system is hard to behind with but well worth it in the end :) if your collecting all the sets it's helpful for sure lol ill make a video on it some time when I get the new house set up! Lol
Ooo would love to see it. Good luck with the new place as well 😄 that’s exciting
awesome video, definitely super helpful! your channel is super underrated, especially considering how quality each video is!
Thank you so much! 😄 really appreciate you saying that
@ of course! keep up the good content!
Thank you so much! I search how to store Pokémon cards but nothing would help me but this video helped me so much storing Pokémon cards!
That is so awesome to hear! I'm glad I could help you 😄 thank you for watching!
You deserve more subs man, great video helped me out a lot, thanks a lot bro.
Hey thank you so much man!
Glad I could help out 😄
Fantastic help video! For sure taking some of these tips.
Thanks for checking it out!
Omg congrats on the 200+ subs! Loved the opening skit!
Thank you and thank you!
It was fun to make lol
@ you're most welcome!!
Awesome video and very informative. My son is 6yrs old and just got into Pokémon. I found it kind of interesting. He wanted to start collecting cards. I figured since we’re new and starting fresh that it would be easier to stay organized from the beginning. It seemed a little overwhelming at first. But I think we’re getting the hang of it the more we talk to other collectors and watch more videos. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for the kind words, I’m glad the video helped! The cards can definitely be daunting at first I think you’re going down the right path though. Getting organized early will help a ton!
I definitely use my Elite Trainer Box, and the Pokemon Tins as a storage for all my bulk....the best thing about it is you can still have the Elite Trainer Boxes out for display in the house. The special cards are stored in a zip up binder with side loading so no dust can damage the cards since the penny sleeve is open up top by using a side loading binder all 4 sides are covered from outside elements.
Awesome video! I don’t usually keep in the binder both regular and reverse holo of my cards I usually just keep whatever is the best version of my card in the binder and store the rest but maybe I should display both 🤷🏼♀️ thanks for the tips 👍🏻
That makes sense! Gotta protect those holos lol cheaper to replace the non holo stuff. Thanks for watching!
I organize my cards by type as well! I also have a lot of sleeves I got from trainer boxes and I didn’t really know what to do with them. After watching your video, I’ll be using them to protect my foils and holos, which is a good thing since foils and holos scratch very easily
Thank you for watching and commenting 😄 yeah those sleeves come in handy they’re very durable. Gotta keep the shiny cardboard safe!
9 seconds after the intro i already love this guy. I subscribed.❤
I appreciate the love! Thank you so much 😄
straight away I like subbed and turned notifications on
Thank you so much!
This is really helpful! You’ve earned my sub.
I’m so glad it was helpful! And very grateful for the sub 😄 thank you!
I literally just went thru my collection and reorganized because after being in it again the past few years realize if it doesn't shine it's not worth the time lol not like my vintage collection where everything is sacred
Lol sadly this is pretty true. Those vintage cards are pretty coveted and all the more modern stuff is pretty cheap unless it’s shiny and like a hyper rare
Great tips and video! The sleeve brand that you use are the best brand I have found on the market. :)
Thank you! Glad to hear it. So far they’ve treated me well!
THANK YOU SO MUCH I had no clue if I was organizeing my cards right and what was the best way to do it thanks!
Glad it was helpful 😄 thank you so much for watching!
Been watching you since the start of the channel, but nothing made me appreciate your genius more than the brilliant sequence of acting in the first 20 secs of this video. Indeed, for your consideration. 😆 Seriously though, I always wonder what people do with low value cards, cause I usually just hoard and forget them until a bored nephew/niece comes by
All self taught skills 😆
I mean that’s a good way to utilize them. Kids get way stoked on any cards. Been looking at methods of trading in bulk cards and also making little custom packs to give out in various ways. I’ll have to make some videos!
Thanks for the video it helped me a lot!
Glad it helped 😄 thanks for commenting too
Love the vid! One thing I love to do is buy the flat red Ultra Pro Sleeves and put them in the slots where I'm missing cards. Then I can't see through the page and when i enter new cards, I get a stack of red sleeves saying how many new i got!
Oh that's a good idea! I am constantly being confused by those blank spots lol seeing the card on the next page peek through 😆
@ i like to write on a lil square of paper the name of the card I'm missing, put it in a card sleeve and slip that into a space on the card sheets in the binder so i know at a glance exactly what I'm missing. Also it stops me from messing up and forgetting to leave room for different formes etc xD
Great video man and some good tips! Hilarious intro with you falling with your stack of cards haha 😆 I've been there 😄
🤣 thanks man! I do all my own stunts!
Hopefully nothing was damaged in your past falls lol
@ No card damage from what I've seen thankfully. I don't care if I get damaged though haha.
Great video. I appreciated the tips on organizing.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad it was helpful 😄
Awesome video great tips and intro was perfect;)
lol thank you! It was fun to put together 😄
This helped me so much. Thank you a lot ❤❤
You’re very welcome! I’m glad it helped 😄
Funny intro!! Love it!!
Thank you so much for commenting and watching 😄 glad you enjoyed!
Thanks Stephen :) ! I was considering sorting my bulk along the lines of "vintage - semi vintage - current"
Maybe current being the S&S era, semi being Sun&Moon and XY era, and everything older just vintage :)
Not a bad idea! That definitely makes it easier to archive. Very nice 😄
I love this viedo and how to sort I would also love to know how to sort by Era is there a certain symbols or type I should look for?
Absolutely! I do recommend sorting by set first. Usually the set symbol/icon is on the lower left or right corner of the card (at least for more present day cards). I have some examples of what to look for at around 0:44 in the video of what the symbols look like. Hope that helps!
I felt that opening
Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching 😄
Thanks for the help.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed the separation of types
I should’ve emphasized it more, because the numbers of the cards also follow the types. So grass is always the first numbers in the set. Helps a ton to sort by type and just knock out chunks of the cards like that 😄 thanks for commenting!
This was very helpful thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it could help. Thank you for watching 😄
Hello, my kids just started collecting cards and we have enjoyed watching your passion and the work you put in towards your hobby. Now my kids are looking to do the same but I’m still clueless 😂.
Hello! That’s amazing 😄 happy to help however I can
Im a beginner and this really helped me!!! Thanks!
I’m so glad it helped! 😄 thank you for watching and commenting
Loved the intro man.
Lol thanks man! It was fun to make!
Very helpful video, thank you!
You’re welcome, I’m glad it could help 😄 thanks for watching!
this is very helpful. hope your bigger soon!
Glad it could help! And thank you so much for the kind words 😄
Thanks for helping me
I’m glad it could help 😄
This guys the best my favourite pokemon TH-camr by far
Aww thank you so much! I’ll try to keep the standards high and keep improving 😄
😁👍
I came here looking for advice and found out Im doing it the exact way haha.
Found this video already liking it and subscribing you already know!! 😂😂
Glad you found me, thank you so much!😄
Yeah thanks for making this video
I was tired to put my cards in the cupboard, thanks for this video!
Glad to help! The cards really get in the way when doing dishes and cooking 😆
Intro was legit relatable
Hopefully your cards have survived the falls!
Nice video. I use a pretty similar process.
Great video! But what do you normally do when you have multiple types of the same card with the same card/set number? In my case I got some holos and normal cards out of the vivid voltage set, bot of them having the same card number. I am hesitant to put them under each other in the same spot
Thank you!
With my duplicates I will sleeve up any holo cards and then put them in one of the storage boxes. I linked some in the description if you need any. This way if I ever need to trade or sell, they’re there safe and organized 😄
Great video thx!!
Thank you for watching! 😄
I have a wholenother issue. I use the number system (without the type) for all my cards and the sockets just can't hold the cards even though its only two pokemon. I am not sure if I need another binder to hold the cards that don't fit. Or don't have it double sided. But I don't really want to go through all that. But I might have too...
I recently got back into Pokemon cards. I really enjoy the card game itself and the collecting aspect as I used to be into baseball cards years ago. I just sorted my cards into basic/stage 1/stage 2 by energy types and put them in Ultra Pro 100 count plastic cases. I put a playset at most of each Pokemon in each just for deck building purposes. My Trainer cards are going in 4 slot binders to be easily accessible for deck building. I'm a standard format type player so every rotation, I'll just rotate out all that are no longer legal to play. Sounds simple enough. My dilemma is all my dupes. I'm thinking of getting some sleeve pages like you have and just put them in order by set. My son and I both collect and we have accumulated a lot of cards in the past month or so. I'm thinking my reverse holos and holos will go in nicer binders to show off. Energies are currently thrown into 100 count BCW set boxes. Lol As far as collecting, I really like all of the gold secret rares. I've never really been a set builder myself. Good video. Different opinions and ideas are nice.
Nice! Welcome back to the hobby 😄 that system makes sense for the deck building, gotta have them easily accessible!
Yeah love hearing all the different methods people use especially when the ultimate goals are different. I play fairly casually so my focus is more on keeping the sets together and making those display pieces. Maybe I'll have to revisit this video concept later to incorporate that, thank you for the insights!
Haha, Amazing! For a Second there, I thought you were going to introduce a brand new product which would solve all my problems, for only 5 low payments of 99.99$ Kidding aside the video had a lotta good tips
lol I wanted to work that in. I should have! Thanks for watching man 😄
@ you bet, I like your videos. Hey, would you ever want to do a pack battle sometime?
yeah man I'm down! Are you on IG at all? We can work out some details there or if you have another platform to DM on
Thanks so much!
Thank you for watching 😄
lmao I just want some ideas on sorting my cards, first 17 seconds in I love it already
Glad you enjoyed! Hopefully it was helpful too lol
The intros like a 2000s seen on tv commercial
This is really helpful thank you! I just wanted to know that can we also add other collection cards in the binder as others or separate binders?
You’re welcome, thank you for watching!
Definitely can organize the binders however you would like. Currently I have a mix in mine, like I have the sets Sword and Shield base with Rebel Clash. But also I have my Evolutions cards with my Hidden Fates.
@ Okay thank you so much! Just gonna buy a shining legends booster box!
Oh dang that’s a fun set. Good luck!
Sort them by tile then put them in a envelope so they stay sorted
The best part about Pokémon is the sorting of course 🙃
It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
Would you recommend keeping the sets together, eg fusion strike and darkness ablaze or just sort them all together, I'm thinking of building a deck but no idea where to start lol
For binders, I prefer to keep the sets separate but if the sets are small enough or only have so many of the set, I’ll put them in one binder.
For decks, you wanna choose whatever best cards you can that work together. As long as they’re in legal play currently 😅
Should I use a different binder for each set?
thanks for the help :D
Thanks for watching 😄 glad it helped!
ur soo underrated dude
U got a sub
Dang thank you so much! That really means a lot 😄
@ keep up the good work :)
Oh oh another fun thing to do, most people don't like putting super rare cards in a binder with their bulk, so what I do is insert an energy card matching that card's type in the slot. So if I have a Full art Charizard I would want in a top loader elsewhere, I'll put a fire energy in it's place to mark that I've collected it :)
Oooo another solid idea. Might have to adopt this one since I in fact am in this situation lol. Thank you!
@ Any time! love to see people show interest in the collecting/storing part of the hobby :)
The issue I have is having sooo many different sets that I've lost touch since Gen 2 all of these different logos are extremely difficult to understand what set they come from for me I would like to know how many sleeves would I need per binder to add each set from each Generation so I can make a separate binder for each one
Ooo yeah that is gonna be some work but super gratifying. One of the better databases to look that up easily is m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_Trading_Card_Game_expansions
Intro has big time Life Alert vibes 😂
Time to use it as an audition tape
Lol I love the intro. Dying 😅
All self taught acting and stunts believe it or not
I'm a bit late to the party, but do the sleeves in the Elite Trainer Boxes work just as well as the ones you can buy online?
They do work pretty well! I’m not 100% sure I would store them for years in them but they’re pretty good sleeves especially if you’re playing them in decks
@ I'm trying to sort mine out to where I can see my options and build decks later on. Thanks for the info!
I have fusion strike dividers and I don't know how they work or what you do with them
Nice! They are mostly an organizational tool. Just a good way to make a clear separating point in the cards. Some people will divide up cards in their card storage box by set or maybe by rarity for example.
Ok I am sorting that's why I am watching this but I am sorting evelotions also I am using that binder and store my cards in those boxes
Nice! I have done binders like that in the past. It's fun seeing all the evolutions next to each other
Ur videos are good
Thank you so much 😄 I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
So should i put my GX cards on the ending pages and trainers on the first and rares on the middle?
Personally I just follow the set numbers. takes a lot of guess work out of it for me and removes a lot of shifting of cards. I like to see what gaps I have in the collection and get the gratification of sliding that card into place lol. But! If you want all your big hits together, there’s nothing wrong with that 😄
What are those holo rainbow pokeball card things in the background?? 6:45
They are card sleeves 😄 from the original Trainer’s Toolkit box that came out a while back
Is there a way to tell what promo cards are from which set?
By the numbers on the bottom corner of the card, there should be some letters. Like SWSH, SM or XY to help with organizing. Unless you’re going vintage, that might vary
What if you are new to Pokemon and your cards are from tons of different sets? Mine were given to me so a lot of them don't match up...
Really good question. I have a stack of cards like that myself. I still like to sort by set and number in that set. This way they are still kinda organized. Then after protecting the holos in sleeves I put them in a storage box for safe keeping.
You could do the same in a binder as well, but maybe just fill all the spots until you can acquire of that set.
I’ve also seen cool collections where they sort just by type. So like all the water type cards together on pages for example. Or even the high priced ones up front. Kinda depends on your goals and how you want to display them
So true
Question what if you have two different cards and different age but the same number?
If they are different looking I would put them in their own binder. Sometimes you can find one Pokémon in many different sets.
But if it’s the same card from the same set, I try to keep my best looking one in a binder and then I have a box of extras I keep
Thanks, I have over 4,000 cards and needed some advice
Oh wow. Glad I could help, good luck with all those cards!
I legit like how u fall on purpose 🤣 😂
Full commit!
Nice video bro! My son's cards are getting out of control lol
Thank you! Hopefully the video helps with getting all of them organized lol I know it can get out of hand pretty quickly 😆 I’ve still got stacks everywhere
I started this process, and honestly it seems like the worst part about it is sorting out the series. I have a box full of Pokémon cards and there are a lot more series than I thought 😭
NICE
Dude this intro was hilarious
Thank you 😄 glad you liked it. Thankfully nothing was damaged in the recording of it. Lol
@ dude that would suck if anything was damaged!
Best vid
Thank you so much! 😄
I'm trying to wrap my brain around how to sort my cards still. I have 1416 cards, 132 which are energies. The cards I own are from 39 different sets, in 11 of the 39 sets have >20 cards, and some of the cards I have are from tins/promo cards. 523 of my cards are from Unbroken Bonds, and only 2 of my cards are from the Base Set. Trying to figure out how many binders and sleeves I will need. It's a mess!
Oof that’s definitely a complex one. Typically I try to group it all by set, and then numerically. But having those sets where you have just a few cards makes them awkward to squeeze in. The promos though, I like to organize those just all together personally.
Good luck though! The sorting never ends lol
@ Thought I'd give you an update. I ended up with 2 binders, one for Holos (unique and dupes) and one for Uniques (non-holo cards, 1 of each), sorted each binder by type of pokemon, then I put all my non-holo dupes in ziplocks by type inside an ETB holder. Works really well!
Nice! Seems really organized for showing off and potentially trading if you were taking them out and about. I dig it!
Was wondering how to do it I ended up putting say number 1 in then number 1holo next to it and just have all shinys in there own binder
That’s a fun way to do it too, my buddy does it that way
What if you’re just buying to select certain cards? Sort by value and liking or what do you suggest?
Depending on the goal, I would personally go by chronological order. But if you are looking to display them, the high value ones being first definitely sounds rad.
Hay I have a question .I have a seat of 96, 98, can I have them together in a same binder as my 2017 seat
I mean it’s your collection, you can put them however you want! Personally I’m a little nit picky, and I would separate them. But maybe in the same binder? Maybe different ones if I could find a rad binder for the old cards
Thx
Thank you for watching 😄
What do you do if it’s same type but different series or set
Going back through comments, sorry I missed this!
Usually I keep my sets together all as one. I only mix sets if I only have a small amount of cards from it. But that’s just my way of organizing
Do you have separate binders for each set?
I try to squeeze as many sets as I can into a binder. Just to be more cost efficient
Is the box really that sturdy? Like could put it in a back pack?
Yeah I think so. I wouldn’t like go for a hike with them lol but should survive a commute in there
