I recently found your channel and I binged all of your videos in one day lol Even though Im not a vendor the content is extremely entertaining I love watching the negotiations and reasoning behind the sales.
I am basically doing this as I type this haha. ran across his content on facebook of all places, and here I am now. watching every video to get up to date!
dude not gonna lie, even tho i am a grown adult this is a nice reminder how to put things into perspective in what i need to know and do before going to a card convention. And this is really good for anyone knew into the scene so they can go in confidently and wiith a good head on their shoulders in trying to get everything they want or getting the most within their budget. Love the videos man, hope i get to purchase from you some day at a con
I purchased from them today and they are the nicest vendors
Cash is king, knowing prices is huge too
That deodorant comment 😂
Super useful! Going to my first card show next week with couple friends and we had no idea where to start. Thank you for this information and happy new year! Hope to catch you at a card show someday 🤙🏽
I wanted to say thanks for your content and I’m looking forward to more. Great to see you put yourself out there
Look forward to going to next show, and using what I learned here cheers happy new year
Just want to leave a comment to say love all your videos! Super fun to watch, keep up the good work & thank you for all the tips 🤝🏻
Going to my first card show this Saturday really appreciate that this video came out in time 😄
So hyped to hit my first card show when I can, will definitely find your table!
Awesome tips and tricks. Cool to see your subscribers gone up. I subscribed when you had 2k. Glad to see youre getting recognition you deserve
Happy New Year🎉🎉 Thank you for the tip. It really helps a lot; looking forward to doing a trade
Happy New Year My guy !
Love the insight here, can’t wait to visit you at the next con!
Thanks for the advice went to my first card show and didn’t know what to do I was walking around like a chicken with my head cut off😅🥲
Love your channel and content, dude! It recently popped into my YT Shorts feed and I’m glad it did
thanks so much bro for the tips!
Exactly what I was looking for. Great vid. I’m hoping to make my first show this year
Great tips for shows- thanks!! 👏 ❤
love your content bro! hope to see more of it in 2024 Happy New Year!
Thanks for the tips and advice, hoping to visit my first show soon. Appreciate your content bro.
Dude this is incredibly helpful and such a relevant video. As someone just coming back into tcg’s after like a 15 year hiatus, I went to a con a few months ago and was completely overwhelmed with all of the different vendors and variety of cards themselves. I was constantly stepping aside to check the value on cards to not overspend and was so intimidated. This kind of video reminds me of why TH-cam rocks with connecting people with content that answers questions we didn’t even know we had. Thanks alot man!
Can’t wait to use these tips with you in a couple weeks! 👀 on the real, looking forward to finally getting a deal done with you guys!
I want to go to my first card show but only knew about Collect-a-con from your videos. Thanks for making this!
Also algorithm comment 😊
Very helpful, ty!
Come great advice here man! Thanks for sharing
This video makes me want to go to a collector show! Your channel has great content and is very informative. Great job!
Appreciate the content keep it up man!
Perfect video for someone going down to Dallas for Collect-a-con.
Hi there, love all your videos and you give a lot of insight! Really wish there were such cool conventions here in Italy as you do in the US, sadly none of that here and sellers rarely accept trade or lower prices
You are great, thank you for your information. I wish you success.
Will be going to collect a con this year now that it’s in NJ. Some very useful information here. Hope to see you there!
Yes I’ll be at every Collectacon!
Happy New Year, see y’all at Houston CAC!
Thank you. Trying to go to my first card show late July in Cleveland. I wondering what I should bring or how I should go about it. Great points. Don't no if you mentioned book bags or something to carry your purchases. I'm looking forward to it. I have an idea of the cards that I am looking out for, will just have to set up a budget and bring as much cash as I can! Thank you again, excellent video!!
Really good info video.
We need one of these for new sellers. I’m trying to get into it and would love a video like this.
Happy New Year Bulba
I need more of your card show content, i'm hooked lol.
Next show is this weekend so I’ll have a vid on Monday!
@@TheBulbaStore Do you keep a public schedule of what shows you are planning on attending?
Your videos are awesome.
Algorithm comment
Loved all these tips, I maybe would've added that other than being the first person in the door for deals you can also find deals last few hours of the last day so people don't take home so much stuff
Very true!
Awesome. I’d love to see a video as a seller. Going to my first show as a seller for Collect a con in Orlando and feeling overwhelmed a bit. lol
thank you!
Thanks❤
Great video man!! When’s the next show you’re going to and where I would love to check out your booth one day !! Keep up the amazing content 😁
Next one is this weekend at htown cardshow. I’ll be at all the Collectacon though
@@TheBulbaStore nice! Hopefully I see you at the Los Angeles one in March! Stay safe!
Nice, we need more videos like this! Keep it up legend! 💧🔥💧🔥💧🔥💧 it would be cool if you had like videos for example for when your talking about said topic! Still love the video!
Happy new year
this was a pretty helpful video before going to my first collect a con at NJ this year.
i believe you said you're attending both days from your other comment in the other video, i wanted to ask if you signed cards haha
Would love to attend one someday. Would definitely have to be a part of a vacation though. Not that many in EU
Can you do a video of tiering SWSH and SV sets? That would be chill
Your card shop videos are amazing! My only critique is that the videos are short! I wush you would show some deals that didnt close
Very informative video. As far as looking up prices though for cards, what sites would you recommend to check for those market prices and recent sales?
Can you make a guide on selecting cards ensuring you get psa 10? Thankd
Appreciate the advice wish i had this last year when i tried to start being serious also do you have a list of conversations your set to attend i hope you going to the dallas collect con in feb.
I’ll have a list out soon but I’ll be at all the collectacons
Team bulba🍀 💚🍀
i went to my first show(mid-atlantic sports card show) last weekend with the goal to only buy. it was fun but i really need to pay the extra $8 and go early next time, not so much for the deals but because the place was PACKED. there were only 8 tables of pokemon but each one had a crowd the whole time. the weather was bad, raining and hot, so the place felt like a very smelly sauna by noon. did manage to drop $4k on BBs and slabs i wanted, and looking at market prices with tax and all i got well over $5k of value, so its 100% worth it to go. got a case of fusion strike for 1300!
Like and commented for the bump!
Hey man. Love your videos! It’s actually the reason why I’m going to go to some local card shows soon. Question as a buyer. I fully understand vendors need to make a profit at these events. What can I expect to negotiate to pay for cards based on what I see for recent eBay sales on PriceCharting? Near the same? A few percent lower because no 13% eBay fees? Just looking for a fair win-win. Thanks!
Depends on the card really. More desirable cards are less likely to get crazy deals. I’d say if you find 10% under market that’s a solid score
loved your vidoe and will definly use your advise in the future. Also do you go to collect a cons close to you or do you go to all collect a cons throughout the year?
I’ll be at every one! Went to them all last year too
Awesome info. Also is that a Bleez statue i see?!?!
It’s Kerrigan from StarCraft haha
Wondering if you will be on the collect a con rounds again this year?
Bumping the algorithm ❤ love the channel and the vendor pov's just got back into the hobby. Havent collected since i was a kid, my son has done it the past couple years but the 151 series pulled me back in. I decided im only doing psa cards and i just got my first one its a marill holo from the japanese southern islands set in a 9. For the moment anyway i figured id seek out 9's and save myself quite a bit of $ while still getting a mint card 🤷♂️
hey! still fresh to the channel. I was wondering if you'll be at the New Orleans card show in February? It'll be my first show and im on the hunt! Specifically for a light arcanine lol
Heyo I will not I’ll be at Dallas Collectacon that weekend
Are you going to Card Party? hope to see you there🍀
Yes I am!
I’m trying to attend in my first card show this weekend and I was wondering if I should bring my cards in a small binder or in an etb box. Also, should I bring my low-end singles as well?
This is like Ramitheicon 👟 of Pokemon 🔥
Hi! What are your thoughts on CGC graded cards? Do you accept them and if not, why? Is it easier to get a 10 fron CGC than from PSA, do you know? Thanks for your time
Are you coming to collect a con los angeles? Would love to check out your table :)
Will be there!
Will you be at the Long Island TCG show on 2/17?
Hey
I just wanted to say your channel is amazing
I was born in 1991 and we obviously did not know that Pokémon as kids was gonna blow up like it did
Now I am getting back into the hobby, is collecting cards and videos like these help me out very much
It makes me feel not left out as a new buyer, and from your other videos, you seem like a fair seller
I’m not exactly targeting the basic from my childhood, but I want to learn and grow in this community because everyone is a lot more accepting than back then
To those who read this comment, I wish you nothing but positivity and luck and your card collecting journey
What is the website people use to check card prices, i am looking to get into card trading but am very out the loop!
Hey Brotha! great job on the videos! loved ur Collect-a-con vids, Just wondering if there was a vid or plan for a vid on how u got started? I just got back into TCG buying/reselling, my pokemon collection is small, about$2000 total currently, Im trying to become an event Vendor, aside from having a sellers permit, I was wondering what other steps i should take to be prepared, should i keep working on growing my small inventory? buy more lots? as a vendor do u get access to Distros? or is it Direct Buy? Sorry, I know its a lot of questions, I just really liked how honest ur being and would love some feedback from ya!
Making a video for sellers and a guide as well so stay tuned!
See you at collect a con NJ
Are you going to be at the front row card show this weekend?
I will not unfortunately
Psssst- Disneyworld is in Orlando. DisneyLAND is in CA. 😊
Ah my bad I didn’t realize lol
Great tips! Do you publish what shows you are going to? Would love to meet you and maybe make some deals. :)
Will have a schedule soon once it’s finalized
One question bro, would you buy graded cards from a new certification company other than PSA or CGC? I ask because here in Mexico it is a bit complicated to grade them, but a new Mexican company has just come out that grades cards, but it doesn't give me much confidence in the future. What's your professional opinion???
Better to just keep them raw. I stick with psa mainly
I'd really like to know how you get started or get to the point where you can have enough inventory to get to a collector's show.
Making a vid on that too!
@@TheBulbaStore That'd be awesome! I am just hoping to make enough to fund the hobby and buy a bulbasaur shirt!
Cricket lol😂
Bro how to get the case of 10 , 9.5 bro please tell it
Going to collect o con in LA this year?
Yes I’ll be at every Collectacon!
Is there a specific website you use to determine the value of a card? Specifically in those interactions where you say you'll pay like 80%?
eBay mainly for most deals.
eBay solds, TCGplayer, TCGFish, I’ve heard people using alt, basically people will comp from those at whatever is in their favor . And take 20% off
What apps do you use to check market value
Mainly eBay. Also 130point and pricecharting
🎉
Will you be a Vender at collect a con in New Jersey?
Yep!
Will you be there at collect a con bulba?
I’ll be at every one!
I only want psa 10 zards … I need them all I’m after a complete collection
Do you have a contact number to reach u?
Are you going to be in Richmond collect a con
Yes I’ll be at every Collectacon!
Beanie babies 😂😂😂

How do you make money buying at 80% tho? Everyone will always want a cut on it. You buy a card at 200. And it sells for $240-250 all day long. They are going to hit you at 200 right away, you try and negotiate and probably land around $225-230. Then if they want to buy with a credit card, that eats away about $7 already. I noticed when i went to KC collect a con, almost all vendors were stickered really high and wont sell at comps. Only a few were willing to work with you.
I usually only buy at 80% for stuff I’d want or wouldn’t mind keeping. Usually it’s more 70% for smaller things and 75% for larger things. Depends how I’m feeling about the item though really
Extreme coupons!
For the algorithm
This guys sucks, biggest lowball ever and always says I got an offer for 'X" already so no lmaoo
Hey Bulba! Fan from Taiwan here, is there any way to contact you, like ig or discord?
