Going back through what I already have typically helps my appreciation the time and effort I’ve put into the hobby. We’re always chasing the next addition to the collection, but sometimes you just need to sit back and appreciate what you’ve already accumulated.
@@westifer01 yeah got the notification on them this item is no longer available :( I'm collecting everything ancient mew and there is part in there about it so I really need the book.
But it's good for the hobby and affordable right? Maybe try looking at low res pictures online for free to enjoy this hobby instead and leave the actual cards and paraphernalia to scalpers and whales instead. :))))
Yea. Not really complaining. I never knew that book existed and was just shocked at the price. But it does make sense for what you get in there. And there are cheaper options still. Like the old handbooks and whatnot that have the old set lists and art works and even has a ton of the vending and VS and all sorts of Japanese promos and I’ve seen those prices very cheap.

Great to see someone has mentioned the Poki Bible. Back in 2000 when I started to collect both English & Japanese, researching what cards where out there was not the easiest especially the Japanese. This book was my go to. One by one I would check-mark each card as I collected them and my ultimate goal which sadly I never achieved, was to collect them all. But someone got the big boys shown in the back of the book. :-( Currently I can't locate my book so I got a new clean one. My other one has many coloured dots stuck on each page, ticky off my haves & have- not. Keep up the great work Scott. Love your videos and passion.
Being in college it's hard to tell myself to drop $60 on a BRAND NEW shining fates tin that came out last month. I was thinking about doing an artist binder and you convinced me to get started! A much cheaper solution that to what's currently going on.
No... Satoshi Tajiri's favorite pokemon is Poliwag. That might explain it's evolution (Poliwhirl) getting so much love in the 90s/ early 2000s. Also, wasn't Red's starter was Clefairy?
So this morning I thought I would try my luck at target around 9 AM thinking maybe they had stocked over the weekend… Of course the answer was no empty shelves sad depressing just like we’ve seen for the last three months so on my way out I asked customer service if they knew when The distributor would come to restock and she informed me that they moved from a randomized schedule to a set day every week for that store and she said that store was Wednesday so Wednesday morning it is! I walk out the front door get my my car and start driving away but I look to my left towards the front door and about 30 feet away from the front door is a guy with two lawn chairs..... no effing way is he actually camping out from Monday to Wednesday morning so I had to turn around and roll down the window and yell at this crazy idiot that I kind of lowkey respect 😂 and ask him and yep sure enough he is camping out this entire time just to buy as much as he could... that’s where we are right now camping out as long as people did for the very first iPhone lol
This is the best and most relevant video in the hobby right now. Absolutely bang on. Helped me appreciate the little things again. #1 priority is the artwork, everything else (condition, value etc) comes second to that. Collect what you love.
Not going to lie pokellector which is just the set list itself is pretty satisfying to look at. It could just be me since i like to look at cards but don't need to own all the cards (outside of FA trainer cards lol)
Such a good video! When we first subbed my partner loved that you collected Komiya ....and then we fell in love even more when you started bigging up Sowsow, who I collect. After Frosted Caribou's video I really wanted to put out a positive message about how to approach collecting and not be pulled down by scalpers....this is that video xx
As someone who is working with a super low budget (and as someone with a thrifty personality), these are the same things I've been doing. To back up what you're saying, these suggestions have been super fulfilling! At one point I had that same thought, "you know, all this art is sitting online for free...", but I keep coming back to collecting since holding the physical binder in hand feels really good. :)
So glad you mentioned collecting artists!!! I went on serebii and looked at EVERY SINGLE artist cards. I made a list of my favorite artists to start binders for them!! Soooo affordable!
Shoutout to that big art thread on E4. I have a Sowsow binder and it's probably my favorite binder. Also those new secret arts Galarian Slowking by Komiya and that hand drawn Blaziken are fire. Pokemon is really stepping up with those hand-drawn full arts.
I think another great way to collect within a budget is to consider Asian-language sets which aren't Japanese. I recently moved to South Korea and it's been really fun to collect Korean Pokémon cards. The modern sets cost a fraction of what the English ones do ($20 for a Rapid Strike booster box with 30 packs or $40 for Shiny Star V), are easily available and the card quality is amazing. I've picked up CP6 Mint Charizards for $25 and there's a healthy, local marketplace for singles and vintage cards. It's also fun to look into the older sets and the history of the TCG here. The only WOTC to release here was base set and that wasn't followed up until ADV (Ruby & Sapphire) came out in 2004. Afaik they were printed in Korea by a company called Daiwon C&A Holdings and there was only a first edition print run. So yeah, a good option if you want to collect within a budget! :)
100 with ya. I'm a reseller. I'm building/cataloging pics of all the old Burberrys Trench Coats... it's tough, theres soooo many varieties...even finding the catalogs is a challenge. But it's fun, I enjoy, and I am making some profit, building skills and a few connections along the way. Do it baby. I get Japan cards 1 to 2 times a week right now. Def. Some people to build a solid connect with out there for long term, maybe do some trading down the road, when I got 100 USA exclusive pikachu promos or whatever. Be a ton of fun either way shit goes ;)
Really cool video. Totally made me rethink what I'm doing with my money at the minute. A couple of years ago I started (barely) collecting Cyndaquil cards since it's my favourite Pokémon. Last few days since this video I've got more joy out of buying a few singles on eBay to carry on this collection and its costing me less than a retail-price ETB so far. I'm not an investor or flipper, so do I care more about a rainbow Ditto, or picking up some e-series singles? 12 Cyndaquils down, something like 40-odd to go.
Or you can do like me when I was younger and wanted a physical card...print off the card, double-sided tape it to an energy card and put it in a penny sleeve and toploader. =) Use picture film paper for a little glossy look
This video is so great and honest I feel like it should be behind a paywall :) I appreciate how you validate and reinforce that it is okay to have goals in Pokémon without the obligation to shell out lots of cash for the rare stuff. I took your advice awhile ago about looking to Japan for better prices and it has worked out tremendously. I had a big list of E-series holofoil cards that I've never been able to buy in English because they would quickly bankrupt me, but after using some japan auction sites I have been able to check most of them off my list! :) thank you so much for your content :)
My dudes! Nice, glad there are more fans out there!! I especially love the ORAS promotional art of Slateport beach. He TOTALLY encompasses the mystery and awe of the Hoenn region...and inspires imagination. :D Definitely my favorite art piece by him.
Me personally I don’t have a whole binder dedicated to artist but do collect like 30 different illustrators 😅 but I’m waiting on buying more binders in the future to put the collections in it
Have you ever given some thought on why this dude and all the other like him do such videos? They do them in order to manipulate the market demand of specific products, based on what sort of stock they're currently sitting on. Essentially they're just fishing, throwing the bait with the appealing videos and waiting for some fish, buyers like you and many others to latch on to their bait. As you stated before the value of the book previous to his video was perceived to be around 50-80 dollars, after this dude's video went up to thousands, that said it really does not take more than few brain cells to figure out what's going on.
This was a thoughtful video. You da man I’ve been following this rule since I heard it from you and I often try to tell it to people as well. There’s still awesome items for everyone at every price range out there. For the longest time this included the southern islands Japanese. Thanks for your poke-service
Awesome video concept. Shook the norm of what hits my feed in the TCG. Scott, if these images are saved and organized today, could NFTs become ultra-tied to IP that flash drives with those images become illegal?
I’ve gotten pretty lucky on cracking poor grades on slabs. Picked up a 1st ghost Black Rose and Base Charizard, both PSA 2, both for $150. The Black Rose is definitely played and has a crease, but the Charizard is in decent shape... I think it would regrade at least a 5 or 6. Even in its current condition, Black Rose is worth more than $150, so basically got a free base set PSA Charizard lol
Some great suggestions in this video fair play, buying online is pretty crucial for me I've run England, so few places locally to buy from. Also that thumbnail might be the greatest thumbnail ever made
The Pokémon TCG online is another great option. Grind and open packs or trade packs for individual digital cards. Purchasing with money can help in-app but it’s not necessary.
Am I the only one that still collects a classic, Catch 'em all Pokedex binder? You have loads of options for the older Pokemon, and each card may run you just a few cents each if you know where to go. It's not NEARLY as pricey as trying to collect full sets. To spice things up, add the Mega Evolutions, Gigantimax forms, alternate forms, regional forms, etc. and that can give you a greater challenge. Other than that, I'd say just get singles of your favorite species/artists.
Some of these modern singles are kind of crazy in terms of price. All the alternate full arts from battle styles are crazy expensive! What’s that about???
Artist collections are awesome & the very first thing I did when I returned to the hobby last year! Suggestions for some of the less talked about artists: kawayoo HYOGONOSUKE Saya Tsuruta Hasuno Miki Tanaka Sachiko Adachi Tetsuya Koizumi Anesaki Dynamic TOKIYA Shibozoh sowsow Kyoko Umemoto
Watch out if you buy from trollandtoad. Its a gamble if the cars is really near mint or not. I ordered multiple times from them and the real near mint rate was like 50%. If you really want the card in a good condition i would suggest to buy from ebay.
I am trying for a fully Japanese collection although I have yet to sit down and learn the language. It feels right considering it's the home language for the franchise. I also like the silver borders a lot more. I only wish the Unlimited prints were easier to find.
CP6 holo singles are less than 20$ for most except the Charizard .. for the price you're getting mint reprints of the original japanese base and enjoying all the nostalgia that comes with it at a great price... My kinda free option is to buy lots of promo singles from general mills off ebay and donate them to friends who're getting back into collecting but having a hard time with all the scalping going on right now.. your friends get them for free and you're spreading the beautiful holo love for less than 30$
Yup and the condition is always great. I bought a few products that contained promo lv.x cards from 10 years ago and all of them didn't have a nic on them
Thumbnail game is getting better each video
I was thinking the same! Thumbnail is on point 😄
Indeed. And I love that he's putting the dramatic open- mouthed youtubers to shame.
Going back through what I already have typically helps my appreciation the time and effort I’ve put into the hobby. We’re always chasing the next addition to the collection, but sometimes you just need to sit back and appreciate what you’ve already accumulated.
So much truth.
These thumbnails make me wanna either gouge my eyeballs out or start worshipping them and I cant decide which
A long time E4 member makes them for me, he is the best in the business :)
Worship. I turned off a video I was watching once I saw the thumbnail
So many singles in my area waiting for a new home!
Im dying LOL (っ＾▿＾)۶🍸🌟🍺٩(˘◡˘ )
lmao
My binder full of yarn and clay artworks is my favorite.
Ito and Morii never get enough mention alongside Arita and Sugimori but they're just as brilliant :)
Same!
You looking for singles in your area? They got em!
Sorry scott i only collect 1st edition psa 10 wozzie charizard
I only collect Pikachu Illustrator
Poliwhirl was all over the place in the 90s because Poliwhirl was actually Reds starter in the manga
I can’t stop buying Japanese e reader snd vending series cards!! Some of those vending series artworks are fucking hilarious 😂😂
Complete (but ever growing) Yuka Morii collection, ayyeee!
clay gang solidarity!
she's so under appreciated considering she's been going consistently since neo
Never thought of an Artist Binder Collection! What an inspiring idea!
I was about to pick up the Bible a week ago and saw your thumbnail and heart sank there doubled now 😆. Damaged copy is over 200 now
I can’t even find a damaged copy. I can’t find a copy at all under $900

ive been wanting to collect all komiya cards in a binder for a long time now, theyre my all time favorite artist in pokemon ❤️
Been doing that and they look awesome in a binder! Big recommendation!
I just wanted to say, that everytime I watch you, I get lots of Rudy Vibes and I love it.
Keep up the good work.

@@djb1ge if you check “recent” sold listings they’re really ranging in price. $88-$280. I think there may only be one listed atm.

Already subscribed and rewatching many of your videos to refresh what I used to know.
The Pokémon TCG online is another great option. Grind and open packs or trade packs for individual digital cards. Purchasing with money can help in-app but it’s not necessary.
All in on vintage Japanese. At least 50% cheaper with better card quality (in my opinion), released 3 years earlier so the TRUE rookie cards.
Love my binder collection, great idea on the artist binder, never thought of that.

Is there any resource to help track cards by illustrator?
Love the thumbnail 👌 lmao
My advice to people is start collecting new product. Buy it at retail price and sit on it.
Stuff thats new today. Is “vintage” in 5 years
I wouldn't be surprised if Pokémon went all digital at some point. Printing cards just isn't sustainable long term...
I am in Japan and that Official Pokemon book 2000 is cheapest 500 usd right now... T.T I got all excited too.
Mother Scott, will you bless me with good deals?
I don't see a single one of those books on eBay under $300 :(
yeah Scott must have recorded this a year ago haha they're all $200+ used from Japan
I am trying for a fully Japanese collection although I have yet to sit down and learn the language. It feels right considering it's the home language for the franchise. I also like the silver borders a lot more. I only wish the Unlimited prints were easier to find.
Something I’ve been thinking about is going after some of the Japanese exclusive arts like lances charizard
I have been collecting data for years. There are so many images and text etc which are transient.
@smpratte we need an update video with how your auctions that ended on Sunday panned out...curious to see how the Grand Party Promo did! Thanks man
The Real King speaks
Absolutely wonderful advice. Thank you!
I’m building a neo era binder as we speak, mostly NM, for cheaper than I thought these cards would be
CP6 holo singles are less than 20$ for most except the Charizard .. for the price you're getting mint reprints of the original japanese base and enjoying all the nostalgia that comes with it at a great price...

Ooyama all the way!
Always have to shout out buying Japanese. Way better value than English on bigger cards.
Also: The gentleman on Instagram is electabuzz1989
Yup and the condition is always great. I bought a few products that contained promo lv.x cards from 10 years ago and all of them didn't have a nic on them
Working on Ryo Ueda binder rn
I need that book.
Great video I strongly agree
Moved to collecting Japanese cards a few months ago and haven’t looked back since!
wait till you see korean booster box and singles prices lol
Question ... binders or graded cards ?
both
I wanted to buy the book you named, then i looked for it and is a 1000 dollars :D
I scored 125 1999 commons played for 55$. Can’t wait to get it in the mail
Just wanting to say that a lot of the japanese PCG-P promos are still very affordable!!!!
Lmao the thumbnail, it's the exact opposite of those classic open mouth clickbaity ones, I would watch the video even if I wasn't interested haha
I’ve been looking for that book for a while now. Anyone got a link?
I'm going to make a folder full of hundreds of pictures of ETBs until I get yelled at for clearing the digital shelves and ruining the hobby
Hope these singles waiting near me don’t flake 👀
