I like the interviews the whole thing was great just watched again. I liked the in the field searches and interviews espexially I’d recommend a mic because there’s lots of background noise
Glad to see you and your family have great time at collectacon 👍🏻 congrats on the theme decks and packs sell 👌🏻big congratulations on getting your gold star Rayquaza 🎉 PSA definitely more favorable than CGC and BGS, can’t wait for the recap video 😎
2:22 King Pokemon just showing that casually. he's looking great with some weight loss. nice stuff 6:50 TCA gaming 27:39 trading a stack for an amazing gold star Rayquaza 29:00 moved that Umbreon real fast 29:45 that Zard
Congrats on the Gold Star Rayquaza bro! I had been waiting for someone to put out some collect-a-con content, so this was a good long video of the experience forsure and I look forward for potentially more to come. GGs.
LOL Dyanna had to catch EVERYTHING seven when I didn’t know. She got even more stuff but I wanted to keep the video semi short so it would upload today for y’all! 🙏🏼😎
Haven’t even seen video yet, but I like how you are so happy in the picture. Reminds of me when I used to box and meeting some of my favorite boxers over those years. Happy for you!
Found this video while trying to get an idea of what this event was like. Man, as a player instead of a collector, I really can't imagine someone spending $28k on a pokémon card. Hell I couldn't even imagine spending more than like 50 bucks on a card. But again, any card I buy is going into a deck to play with not a padded suitcase to collect dust until it's sold. You do you though. I'm happy you have something that you enjoy.
It’s a movement my friend ! Collectors will outnumber players and it’s been that way since the beginning I think I mean think about their slogan “gotta catch em all” 😎
Thanks bro!! It definitely hurt but it’s SO nice and I’m very happy with my few grails now! Feeling like I got a fresh start because of this convention! 🙏🏼😎
@@orionsires You Sir is on the right track…keep chasing the big ones…eventually you’ll be there. You just got the king…tbh you can probably crack that out and try and get it re graded with cgc..if there is no visible whiting you could pull a 10. And a 10 is an automatic 35k+
Thank you for saying this! And thanks the deal was not an easy one but I’m glad we made something happen, it’s tough working with these vendors sometimes not gonna lie but it’s part of the experience nonetheless! 😎🙏🏼
I primarily collect PSA cards, but some cards just look better in a BGS case. That Rayquaza honestly looks amazing in a BGS case. I like it better than in a PSA 9. Congratulations
Thank you!! I kinda am feeling the BGS 9 as well, no it doesn’t match my psa gold star slabs but hey I’m not complaining ! You’re right it really looks good! 😎🙏🏼
hey man great video felt the full collectacon experience! i think that vendor was pretty generous to give you 90-100% trade value of your slabs for that gold star rayquaza in my experience at collectacon it's 75% at best for a select few vendors. moving pokemon cards/slabs is a lot harder than many think.
Man that was awesome seeing what the vendors and trades are like at these conventions. Could you do a recap going over all of your trades? Some of it was hard to see exactly what you traded each time and what you got in return
The only thing I would add to the video if possible is subtitles. Dude! Cheers on making that paper. I know collecting comes first but making those tough decisions is part of becoming sussessful with your financial decisions. Im rewatching to do market research and analyze how the sellers brain work. Love this video!
Thanks man I’m glad you enjoyed! It’s definitely interesting to watch although I know it was super loud and yeah definitely made some tough decisions but it was worth it! I think?! 😎🙏🏼
You looked so happy in the beginning! Then you start to look stressed as the video progresses. But I know you are in your element and just trying to get good deals. FYI for your next video… since Dyanna is the cameraman, give a boom stick to Aspen so we can hear you better.
Haha I was happy stressed and pleasantly surprised by the deals I made both in my ability to hustle all day and also how persistent I was to get what I wanted. That felt really good. I’ve got something special in store for tonight’s upload though 😎🙏🏼
Hey thanks man! Can’t wait for the next one in August! Might go to Virginia too. And yeah it can be hard letting go. But it’s all an a part of the plan! 😎🙏🏼
On the slabs....if it's your personal collection you can go with cgc but if you are looking for liquidity and trading.....psa all the way. Seeing some of the latest drama around cgc, I will be avoiding grading with them. I'll bite the bullet and go psa
Interesting yeah I feel you there but I had a super good experience with cgc despite the things others are sending in 😂 I do prefer psa or bgs it’s nice to have uniformity in a collection but it’s hard too! Lol 😂 sometimes it’s tough to find the right deals with psa I really didn’t see many grail cards at the convention at all really tbh it was weird man no deals to be had really but I do agree psa is the move for now. 😎🙏🏼
The peer pressure is crazy for that rayquaza gold star 😂. Dope card tho. You gotta make a video showing it off and what you traded for it. Imo I would of told you to wait because theres always somebody who will sell below market price.
Yeah but in this case I factored in paying more like 7 but then paying taxes and waiting and all that plus not seeing it in person is a must for a card of that caliber buying in person was way less stressful tbh and my stuff wasn’t that nice that I traded so I felt pretty satisfied overall! 🙏🏼😎
That's a loud ass place! 😂 Looks fun though. I recently went to a very small card con here locally and it was awesome! I NEED to go to another one soon. Are you gonna cross grade your BGS 9 goldstar Rayquaza with PSA? (I would) 🙂
Damn collect a con started before you even got in! Thats dope you got to meet a bunch of other content creators and collectors. Are you going today aswell?
Awesome I can’t wait to go in Houston Texas it’s gonna be insane I am hyped not my first con but this is a huge one especially with Chuck Norris I’m only going for some of the cards and the voice actors but seeing the business side of this is absolutely insane from other people
Haha I actually don’t like the gold star charizard at all. It’s maybe even my least favorite charizard in terms of grail status 😂 I just don’t like it doubt that will change
Wish there was this kind of events where I live. This year I'm going to travel to U.S. and participate one! Any idea what city has the biggest Collect-A-Con?
I don’t know which city has the biggest collect a con but I can tell you my city Charlotte, NC has a really big one. Vendors pack the place out. Uptown convention center right across the Westin suites which also have deals after the show in the floor level. Wherever you go it will be fun! If you come to Charlotte one this year I’ll see you there! 😎
I love how vendors only want to pay 80 percent on trade and theirs is 100 percent, and turn around and sell the trade at 100 so they net 40 percent. Something doesn’t add up. Cool card though and you worked the deal. I liked how you got other vendors opinions. Cool vid
Haha glad you enjoyed the video! I’ll be trying to upload once a day! Lots of things coming down the pipeline! Yeah very interesting for my first convention experience and I’ll be going again next year to do it all over! 😎🙏🏼
Cool video to see. Never been to one of these conventions. Another commented mentioned it- subtitles would be helpful in loud environments like this but quality content!
I’m a lowering end collector (don’t have thousands in cards or cash to throw around) but I am attending Collectacon houston in November. Do you have any big key takeaway or tips as to where the biggest and best deals are or even other tips outside of that. Singles, slabs, things such as that. Also, do you recommend bringing cash over card due to connection issues or does cash also have better buying power at these kinds of events? Will be my first con! Thanks man awesome video
Work every single table do not commit to any vendor immediately and also bring cash because for me personally I’d rather have the actual physical cash and from what o experienced the vendors felt the same because very few people actually bring cash. I only went with 2600 and slabs. You can trade your way to some amazing stuff but you have to put in the work! That’s for sure ! I hope this helps ! Thanks for watching! 😎🙏🏼
@@orionsiresawesome thanks a lot man! Hoping to bring in some lower-end Japanese card singles to trade up because I know the Japanese market is in very high regards to alot of collectors. Hoping to turn my small pulls into a couple bigger hitters for myself. Bought VIP and plan on being there the whole time both days! Thanks alot man haha both videos were very enjoyable
Nope I kept the cleaner one that I paid more for! So still have the grail of vintage, which I plan to trade up on grades over time! The one I traded with costed me 4k and honestly didn’t look like a real 5 more like a 4. Straight up. Super stoked 😎🙏🏼
8500$ worth in trade value so specifically my 1st Ed zard, which he was super good on his offering, my shadowless 6 zard little less than I wanted, my BGS 5 shadowless (my first submission ever) and two base set zards plus 500 I think ? It was a lot !! But my only option in terms of that card in that grade so had to do it! And spent no extra cash! 😎🙏🏼
I sold my 9 lights for 350$ a piece and kept my 8 heavies. My heavies are literally the only vintage sealed product that I now own. Crazy how things change.
You need a mic to put on your tshirt for your videos. Itll make the audio quality much better. Just giving some advice to boost the quality of your videos. 😃
No I know I could use some things that would help but I also was able to get more done using my phone :/ as loud as it was I thing it gives a sense of how it really was being there but I know it’s just good advice and maybe something I can do. I didn’t see any TH-camrs filming, I felt like the only one there filming lol🙏🏼😎
that psa 8 base set shadowless booster pack is inside a plastic psa sleeve cover. do you know where I can get those sleeve covers? i only find the ones for the smaller slabs, but the bigger slabs don't seem to have any on the market available. do you have a link for amazon or something for covers with that size big enough for psa cases with booster packs? please
Hmm you know it’s just generic sleeves ? I will try and show them in the next video! I actually like them for their specious size but they aren’t a tight fit but can be used for multiple slabs and products. I’ll try and remember to mention them! 🙏🏼😎
Dude you have no idea how bad I felt for not getting more conversations going. I felt like I didn’t get enough done and next year plan to step it up and include all the vendors and ask better questions! Glad you appreciated it! 😎🙏🏼
@@orionsires nah dude these are rad. at worst these were a solid proof of concept. a lot of videos of this topic are scans of the inventory vendors have which is interesting no doubt, but next level to be talking through deals on camera. congrats on the pickups too
Because they told me it was 2800$ and they were giggling the entire time ( which actually made me super uncomfortable tbh) and I knew it was too good to be true just like the saying “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” but yes I was captain idiot in that moment thank you for reminding me 😂🤣
@@orionsires yeah it just confused me cause I know you are aware of prices so I mean 2800 for a mint / gem mint rayquaza gold star would never happen haha. Also why did you want the rayquaza so much to give up so many cards just wondering?
@@Slasherx28 I'm aware of that my comment was asking why he thought someone would sell a gold star rayquaza for so cheap. Reading comprehension my guy.
I didn’t even know ! I sold my only heavy today because the money felt better to have honestly. I only have 8 base set heavy packs in my entire vintage collection now. Crazy.
He’s such a nice guy honestly made my experience so much better, Ruxin was really cool too! But I didn’t get any footage with him but talked with him too 😎🙏🏼
It was real my guy! I saw the transaction take place and this dude dropped like 7k on it. It was sus though and makes you wonder where they came from? 😂
Yeah I really didn’t agree with his pricing BUT I like him probably the most as a person his humor, mannerisms and so forth. I always gravitated back towards him but couldn’t secure anything else sadly. That was the only thing I got from him. But damn does it look sexxxy! 😎 🙏🏼
You met Rattle and put it as the thumbnail image lol there mustn't have been many notable people there. Dude is a terrible excuse for an investigative Poketuber after his deplorable actions against PTCG radio. Guy is a disgrace
Nah Rusty aka TCAGaming was there. Rusty is fr one of the best things to happen for the hobby. Mans rips and ships vintage left and right and doesnt scam!
Hmm he seems like a super nice guy but what exactly did he do? I’m not really up to date on the “drama” to be honest I just liked watching some of his content and seems like a nice guy to me. I judge people based on how I feel about them. I got nothing but good vibes from him!

What was your favorite part of the video? What would you like to see me do at collect-a-con?
Thanks for sharing man. Was cool 😊😊
You need to get your hands on a first edition heavy pack
I like the interviews the whole thing was great just watched again. I liked the in the field searches and interviews espexially
I’d recommend a mic because there’s lots of background noise
Glad to see you and your family have great time at collectacon 👍🏻 congrats on the theme decks and packs sell 👌🏻big congratulations on getting your gold star Rayquaza 🎉 PSA definitely more favorable than CGC and BGS, can’t wait for the recap video 😎
Thanks man!! 🙏🏼😂 yes was super successful for my first time and recording most of it !
I hope you had tons of fun and got to work on your anxiety! Much love, Orion Sires :)
Maybe I was just stressed over parking in the parking uptown idk 🤷🏻♀️ 😂
So freaking cool! Rattle, Rusty, and Gary! So cool to be able to see all those crazy cards in person too.
Yeah all around I will enjoy looking back on these videos 🙏🏼😎
2:22 King Pokemon just showing that casually. he's looking great with some weight loss. nice stuff

You are so VERY welcome! I had a fun time making it although I was also there on business it was all in all incredible! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼😎
This was awesome and seeing you in a new element. Also when you meet Rattle gotta keep the cameras rolling. 😂❤

@@orionsires She was so nice going with you too. I love that and the fact she just decided to film everything. 😁😂
Honestly it was a pleasant surprise to see some heavy hitters taking the time to talk and doing a short Q&A on camera. Very cool!
Thank you Normm!!! All I did was ask!
🙏🏼😎
Definitely looked like a blast! Let’s get a recap of all of the deals that was made on your end. Especially the rayquaza one!
We will soon! Hard getting all the content done! I have SO much to talk about now on the channel my guy! Endless new topics ! 🙏🏼😎
@@orionsires can’t wait brother!
Haven’t even seen video yet, but I like how you are so happy in the picture. Reminds of me when I used to box and meeting some of my favorite boxers over those years. Happy for you!

HISTORIC! With the absolute homie!! Dude so much fun hanging with you felt like I was a kid again!
Great vid! Loved the vlog style - looks like a fun time
Thank you woopy !! 🙏🏼😎
Awesome video man, congrats on the big deal and it’s great to see how you navigate trades and card value with the vendors
Thank you for saying this! And thanks the deal was not an easy one but I’m glad we made something happen, it’s tough working with these vendors sometimes not gonna lie but it’s part of the experience nonetheless! 😎🙏🏼
Great video had fun meeting you at collect-a-con 😁 keep up the great work 👍
Thanks Zach!!! I had a great experience for my first time in part from meeting y’all in the line! 😎🙏🏼
I am still pretty new to this whole Trading Card scene. So glad to have someone like you to share new experiences
Absolutely that’s what I’m here for! 🙏🏼😎
Yo congrats on the amazing grail card! Happy for you bro can wait to hear all about it in another video. I feel you did well on it in the long haul.
I think I did well too and I can’t wait to share with everyone ! 🙏🏼😎
That gold star Rayquaza look amazing 🔥 congratulations man 🥳
Thank you!! 🙏🏼😎
I primarily collect PSA cards, but some cards just look better in a BGS case. That Rayquaza honestly looks amazing in a BGS case. I like it better than in a PSA 9. Congratulations

5:16 "this is stuff im not looking at personally" scans over a raw gold star rayquaza for 3.2k
😂 guilty
Looks epic! I saw a couple of legends in the game you were chatting with!
Yeah super cool to see them there and get some of their time as well !😎🙏🏼
Love how your good lady started filming you and Rattle chatting off the bat 🤣👌
Yeah caught us off guard just a little bit 😂😎🙏🏼
Me when I heard 2800 on the gold star ray ray. "Buy it and run"
Exactly what I was thinking in that moment 😂 I just figured CGC slab ray had a terrible market lol
You looked so happy in the beginning! Then you start to look stressed as the video progresses. But I know you are in your element and just trying to get good deals. FYI for your next video… since Dyanna is the cameraman, give a boom stick to Aspen so we can hear you better.
Haha I was happy stressed and pleasantly surprised by the deals I made both in my ability to hustle all day and also how persistent I was to get what I wanted. That felt really good. I’ve got something special in store for tonight’s upload though 😎🙏🏼
Im jealous, wish I went! I was only 5 hours away and did nothing this weekend! Looks like you had a good time! Keep up the good content!
Hey there’s always next year fam 🙏🏼😎
bro, your reaction at 15:00 hits so hard to let go a part of your collection that you care about so much.
Great content my man! huge fan!!
Hey thanks man! Can’t wait for the next one in August! Might go to Virginia too. And yeah it can be hard letting go. But it’s all an a part of the plan! 😎🙏🏼
Great production thanks for taking us with you 😊😊
You got it 🙏🏼😎
On the slabs....if it's your personal collection you can go with cgc but if you are looking for liquidity and trading.....psa all the way. Seeing some of the latest drama around cgc, I will be avoiding grading with them. I'll bite the bullet and go psa

Cool to see you there!
Absolute Legend ! Likewise
That's a loud ass place! 😂 Looks fun though. I recently went to a very small card con here locally and it was awesome! I NEED to go to another one soon. Are you gonna cross grade your BGS 9 goldstar Rayquaza with PSA? (I would) 🙂
It’s a thought but you know, it does looo great in the slab and black gaurd. I might just sit with it and enjoy the spoils of war(haggling) lol 😎🙏🏼
@orionsires Well, congrats on achieving your goal!
Damn collect a con started before you even got in! Thats dope you got to meet a bunch of other content creators and collectors. Are you going today aswell?
I went today! Content on the way! 😎🙏🏼
Awesome I can’t wait to go in Houston Texas it’s gonna be insane I am hyped not my first con but this is a huge one especially with Chuck Norris I’m only going for some of the cards and the voice actors but seeing the business side of this is absolutely insane from other people
I’m glad you enjoyed it and have fun for collect a con! 😎🙏🏼
Now that you got the rayquaza gold star you need to get the charizard gold star in a beckett 9. Gotta have both of the shiny dragons.
Haha I actually don’t like the gold star charizard at all. It’s maybe even my least favorite charizard in terms of grail status 😂 I just don’t like it doubt that will change
Wish I could have been there! You are such a dope person.
Hey man thank you! I’m glad I could make the content I do! 🙏🏼😎
Wish there was this kind of events where I live. This year I'm going to travel to U.S. and participate one! Any idea what city has the biggest Collect-A-Con?

No way you ran into King Charizard himself.... that is insane!
Yeah pretty chill dude he was walking the line and greeting folks
Look at all those glorious needs. OH I wish I could be there
Haha well you basically got to be there almost 😂 glorious is the right word
Oh man I hope you didn’t trade both 1st edition zards for the GS Ray

Where was it?
Charlotte! 😎
What was the guy asking to trade you the gold star rayquaza bgs 9 for?
8500$ worth in trade value so specifically my 1st Ed zard, which he was super good on his offering, my shadowless 6 zard little less than I wanted, my BGS 5 shadowless (my first submission ever) and two base set zards plus 500 I think ? It was a lot !! But my only option in terms of that card in that grade so had to do it! And spent no extra cash! 😎🙏🏼
How much are you selling the base set packs for?
I sold my 9 lights for 350$ a piece and kept my 8 heavies. My heavies are literally the only vintage sealed product that I now own. Crazy how things change.

@@Slasherx28 I'm aware of that my comment was asking why he thought someone would sell a gold star rayquaza for so cheap. Reading comprehension my guy.
17:50 are you a vendor now 😂😂😂
Hahaha I don’t even know what part of the video that is but I’m guessing it’s behind Pete’s booth 😂
Rusty bloody loves you!
Love the sarcasm! I couldn’t tell but I’m glad you enjoyed ! 😎🙏🏼
Great video
Thank you!! 😎🙏🏼
Is this in the netherlands?
No it’s in Charlotte nc United States 😎
Jungle packs heavy or light are never worth opening. The cards in there aren’t worth much in a psa 10, IF they get the 10.
I didn’t even know ! I sold my only heavy today because the money felt better to have honestly. I only have 8 base set heavy packs in my entire vintage collection now. Crazy.
Rattle!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
He’s such a nice guy honestly made my experience so much better, Ruxin was really cool too! But I didn’t get any footage with him but talked with him too 😎🙏🏼
@@orionsiresomg ruxin34??
What slab case is that
It’s just an Amazon case called casematix and it’s alright nothing special 😂
True. Nothing under 8
I see that now 😂 I have one but at that time I was like da fuk?! 😂😭
IDK man, your recent pickups are 5 figure 10's. I think you're there@@orionsires
That stack of Giratinas was sus af
It was real my guy! I saw the transaction take place and this dude dropped like 7k on it. It was sus though and makes you wonder where they came from? 😂
Congrats on your grail brother that quaza is sexy 🥵. Glad Pete from grogu hooked ya up man, he's a stand up guy. Plus I got my grail from him also.
Yeah I really didn’t agree with his pricing BUT I like him probably the most as a person his humor, mannerisms and so forth. I always gravitated back towards him but couldn’t secure anything else sadly. That was the only thing I got from him. But damn does it look sexxxy! 😎 🙏🏼
Wow
Right!! Great experience hope you enjoyed!
Pissed I missed the memo on this..
Haha it’s all good that’s why it’s in a video! It will be here forever ! 😎🙏🏼
@@orionsires I wonder if they’ll do it there again next year. You ever go to any Comic Cons? Considering Hickory this year, if there’s Pokémon 🙃
Lmao
Yeah just about sums things up 😂
I was gonna say about that gold star ray lol. Bet they had a good laugh when acted like were interested at 2800 lol. Live and learn. Psa like 48k.
Yeaaaaah live and learn but I did finally get myself one in a BGS 9 that is super clean! So it’s all good 😎🙏🏼
You met Rattle and put it as the thumbnail image lol there mustn't have been many notable people there. Dude is a terrible excuse for an investigative Poketuber after his deplorable actions against PTCG radio. Guy is a disgrace
not as bad as the old fart in the beginning of the video 🤢
Nah Rusty aka TCAGaming was there. Rusty is fr one of the best things to happen for the hobby. Mans rips and ships vintage left and right and doesnt scam!
Hmm he seems like a super nice guy but what exactly did he do? I’m not really up to date on the “drama” to be honest I just liked watching some of his content and seems like a nice guy to me. I judge people based on how I feel about them. I got nothing but good vibes from him!
