Him: “I’ve been a Pokémon fan for years”
Editor: *shows picture of him standing next to a Bionicle*
I thought I was the only one who caught that, LOL editor doesn't know Pokemon
i died lol
LMFAO
BcnEggNChz™ they know it’s just the only photo they were given of him as a young kid.
Bro bionicle lmaoooo what a throwback
"Here is where I keep over $75000 worth of merchandise and lets now do a thorough walkthrough of the entire security system...."
Right
Right silly af
Lmao! All the info you would need to thwart that little "DIY security system" is all there
Right lol
*wishes i had guns and/or the balls to use them properly ... damn
I love how greed can kill any childhood nostalgia
Hype leads to ppl reselling and it just kills everything , kinda sucks tbh but I still respect these hustle stories .
@@ocean6857 you think he could sell a little cheaper and stop making huge profit from kids
Blame responsibilities and bills
Big facts

This guy doesn't care about Pokemon, he cares about any hustle that makes him money.
and ?
Easy money is good money
facts im the worst

“I feel good about importing Japanese cards because I’m not taking them away from anybody”
Meanwhile Japanese kids looking around for cards…
The produce double the amount of cards so ehhh it’s 50/50
Hahahahahaa hahahahahaa Zoom Tallin du driver lå de skämt på gud mannen
I noticed that comment too
Most likely they bulk buy, so it just means the seller knows how much to buy.
@@RobotTechHead he means he isn't buying from stock sitting In a store.he buys in bulk direct as if he was his own store which he is here.
Always smart to show where and what security devices are in your home.
we've gotten ALOT more since filming lol but honestly good point
Vice is notorious for "accidentally" exposing people.
Better to let thieves know they are not playing and have security then have this video go viral and have people try to rob them !
And they don't have any guns.
Already on my way
I still get a pain in my heart when I think about the fact that my mom found my old collection of Pokémon cards that I was saving, thought I was too old for them and just threw them all away without telling me. It’s okay I didn’t want potentially $50,000
Same. Not sure on value
We're they in card protectors?
@@vgrepairs of course, I went through an outrageous phase in my life as a little kid collecting Pokémon and Yugioh cards the ones that were just normal cards were kept in the plastic sheets within a binder and my really nice once’s were kept in cases. But good luck finding them cause that was 2007-2008.
Dude I've given away thousands of pokemon and yugioh cards so i get it. Although I only have myself to blame
Same here ffs
Kinda sad these guys seem to not actually enjoy the cards themselves. But its amazing he capitalized on the situation.
tbh i wouldnt hoard all the pokemon cards myself, i would sell them and collect a bit, then change again
1:00 Seriously Vice you had to get a shot of these two in a hot tub, holding a cigar and Pokémon cards acting like this couple is the Bonnie and Clyde of cards 😂😂😂
Really screams "I'm a douche bag."
I think that was the point... hence why he starts laughing.
Cringe af lol
@@crackerjackrappr doesn’t matter . If he had any respect for the hobby and people in it he wouldn’t make a fool of him self like that
He even mentioned multiple times he is only in it temporarily for the money
Vice legit just showed us his address, the exact security companies they use (common companies, with known flaws). Plus, they showed us which window to break into, because the windows arent bolted/bared up.
Meet 2 blocks away north at 2 am
are u boutta do it
its like they are telling us smtg. hmm...
I can be in omaha in 60 min..
i would not doubt for one second that at least that couple must own firearms and if thats the case things might not end up being as easy as they look. if i was that guy i would definitely own a rifle and make sure my wife has a firearm too and knows how to use.
It's crazy to me how big Pokémon has become. I remember growing up as a kid, I was one of the few children who watched or played Pokémon. I collected all the games up to Pokémon Black, and I collected the cards. But, they were in storage when I was 13, and we couldn't stay on top of the bills, so they sold all of our stuff. Vintage Pokémon items from late 90s to mid 2000s, Pokémon cards I collected over the years through events and video games that I personally spent with my chore money. I was devastated and didn't play for almost a decade. Still love Pokémon, but when I think back to all my things it generally upsets me thinking how much I could have made.
Few??? Bruh, Pokemon was huge in the late 90s. Many kids were into it. Then it kind of died down a bit because they freaking messed up Pokemon, changing the voice actors and stuff.
Naw this what's happen when these TH-camrs have money and take advantage of children that do not know how to even handle money. It use to be a game just like Yu-Gi-Oh. Now it's a market for Pokemon drug deals 🤣
Biggest media franchise in the world man.
Same same same T_T I still have just a handful of them.
@@HonkeyKong54 he probably means one of the few kids in the town he grew up in
I can just imagine that Pikachu tackling some guy for stealing Pokémon cards 😂
Detective Pikachu says " Stay strapped or get clapped"
Guy feels really secure with his Amazon bought security system.
I'm sure he's hard-core enough to keep a bb gun as a last resort thinking it'll do damage
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 Japanese cards aren't that cool but it's better than nothing
Yeah really drugdealer, drug lord house 😂this guy
I wouldn’t be surprised if that wasn’t even the house they operate out of. He said he estate agent boss wanted him to buy houses so that could’ve been a dummy one for the cameras
1:48: "I've also always been a Pokémon fan"
_Vice shows photo of him with a Bionicle_
So he's a chad
came here to post that exact comment
Was thinking the same ahahaha
Hahaha
I though, Pokémon is weird now…
This is a PSA, Marnie is found in Shiny star V not Dream League which instead contains an even more iconic character, Lillie.
"i'll start companies and not make a dollar" as a poor person with adhd, this sounds like the dream. one of his ventures finally hit
I get adhd and I lost today some money on my new second project and I really felt the same that's the fucking dream
We don't want to buy up all the cards in target from the kids... So we buy $60k from a guy in Japan who takes away from those kids lol
Who cares they're Japanese kids.....👍🤣👍
I thought it was explained that there wasn’t a shortage in Japan like there is here
@@autex2609 you didn't finish the video.
Honestly ridiculous lol.
@@shonseibert48 you sound lowkey racist
Soooo…. They’re professional scalpers. That line about “not taking them from kids” is bullshit because they’re just taking them from Japanese kids lmao
trust me, kids arent collecting cards.. its grown men
@@KillenEMsoftly FACTS lol
Yeah there is just something about these two that i really really do not like. And by looking at the like/dislike ratio, it seems I'm definitely not alone
But there foreign kids
nah youre just jealous of successful people doing better than you. im sure you actually dont care japanese kids losing out on some cards. stay envious tho
I'm weak at the Plug girlfriend leaving him then using that as motivation to start the business he ran it up on her ass😂😂😂😂😂😂
My man literally looked at the box of Dream League, said you can get a Marnie girl from it, and doesn’t realize Dream League doesn’t have a Marnie lol
"she's a little anime girl" you can tell he hasn't played sword/shield when he describes marnie like that lol
Haha yup. Or I guess he could have just been trying to explain in a way everyone would understand
As a Pokémon fan myself that really pissed me off when he calls himself a fan yet didn't even know her name.
theres also no marnie card in dreamleague 🤣
It's clear this video is made for fans plus non fans, if he just said their name there would be people asking who's Marnie.
Dream league doesn't even have Marnie.. 😭😂 mans a fake
Got real dark when dude was like “she said she wouldn’t marry me be I wasn’t financially stable…so I started this business” lol did not expect this to get so real
Marriage is a financial contract.
Love can't buy diapers.
Love can't pay the bills

I was into Pokemon when I was a kid and teen but I stopped after Delta Species in my opinion probably one of the best sets.
I love delta species! Some beautiful looking cards. Definitely still hold up, I pick them up when I can, especially the yuka morii clay ones.
Lol.. I love how they talk about the security on there house, and then they show the full front of it 😂😂😂
“I’ve been a fan of Pokémon since I was a kid” *shows bionicle lmfao

@@Amor1990 I don’t think he’s working in a US factory since he lives in Japan. He was very likely not making a great wage.
„i don’t want to buy cards away from American kids, so I’ll just buy them away from Japanese kids“ - American logic
Literally lol
I remember getting $5 in elementary school and going to the store to buy the newest pack and getting skunked except for a few times I got some good cards. Also I still have the raichu gx deck I built 5 years ago. I since sold all my cards but really want to get trading and collecting again but its just too expensive
This is awesome until he pulled a god pack and didn’t even react I can’t tell if he’s an actual Pokémon fan or just numb to the feeling of pulling great cards
I’m numb to V and VMAX cards now.
I mean he was like "Oh wow whoa!" if that's not mild excitement then idk what to tell you fam.

Not a fan no way lol
its sad seeing this
as a kid in the 90s it was all about the battles and the Gotta have em all
but now its all about the cash value thats sad
Truth...that's why I stopped collecting
C'mon.... none of the kids i knew growing up actually played... it was all to flex with what cards they got
People are trying to run from inflation and will try to value this things.
@@klaatubarada2455 showing off cards is different from their actual cash value...which is what everyone cares about these days
It was always about the money guys. Would you rather a billion dollar company make everything or help this guy get his side hustle on? I have a lot more respect for him.
They're supposed to be running the business from a PO Box so customers don't know where you live. Congratulations on all your success!
Culture vulture is the perfect word for this couple
Majority of pokemon youtubers only care about the monetary value
Same with a lot of their followers unfortunately
gotta hype up the kids to take their money
sadly true
Money = views
It’s almost like it’s their work…
“Importing from Japan, I’m not taking them from anybody”
…so Japan doesn’t have little kids? Smh
Did you not pay attention? He said there's a shortage in the States, people buy them as soon as they get in the stores. There is no shortage in Japan so he can buy in bulk and they'll still have some in stores.
@@AwsomVirus I’m guessing you’re the one that’s not paying attention. There’s also a shortage in Japan, skip to 8:25.
I think what he means is that he’s buying them wholesale, not rushing into Walmarts buying all the packs at 6am before parents and their kids have a chance to get some. So that kind of buying isn’t “taking” them from kids in the same way since kids/parents wouldn’t be buying them wholesale like him. But yes this sort of thing is leading to a shortage in Japan too as mentioned in the video.
I live in japan. Here kids are not interested in cards seriously. Only young people are . and no body snatch from kids I promise. A very peaceful and Respected country.
I thought the same thing 😭
I LOVED this video, super informative. HOWEVER I am cringing at the cigar in hot tub moment, each to their own xD
its a joke. Relax a bit.

Appreciate that :)
The amount of times I’ve went to Walmart with my son to find everything bought out . It’s redicoulous
it’s ridiculous how bad you spelled ridiculous.. but other than that i agree it’s sad
Don't worry, they've doubled production on cards to put vultures like this out of business. The worth of all the new sets has been completely slashed and it's way easier to get cards in stores now. Might take a bit of time for some of the people less aware of Pokemon Cards to realise they aren't going to make any money buying out the store, but it'll happen eventually.

very smart to explain and show exactly what security systems they use! I think they covered everything in the video, all they're missing is a floor plan, business hours, and maybe the address if that's not public already. 🙄
I was thinking the same thing. Just told us how to break in, how the front door is reinforced, where the important cameras are. If someone reeaaalllly wanted to hit that lick it wouldn’t be to difficult.
Im gathering a team of 11 or so people to hit this house. You guys in?
Just follow the Pokémon car and you have the address.
You still have to get past their very flat dog tho
This why yu need guns
this gets me excited and nostalgic at the same time.
The final shot with the cigarette cracks me up 😂
Idk if it’s just me but he said he doesn’t buy all them from Walmarts cause that’s taking them from kids, and he imports them from Japan but wouldn’t importing them from Japan be taking it from the kids there? 😂🤷♂️
this is a good comment - we get it directly from suppliers - not retail stores. but i guess you could argue its still less cards in Japan - fair point there
@@pokene_pokemon hahaha i get it…all jokes tho no disrespect
But than he say there is alot of cards in japan…
Yo no cap but this is why people like us barely collect any more.... I love pokemon, I've been to the center in NY in the 90s, I've been collecting since the 90s n it makes me sad that we have to spend so much because we can't even get them in stores or legit on line!!
Worst thing to happen to a Hobbie is when the items become so valuable that people are buying things not to have but to sell. And in bulk.
you can thank all these annoying white boy streamers ruining your hobbies
@@HitoriGnocchi Facts
Same. Too many scalpers.
It's just a terrible time for hobbies, especially collectables and gaming. But I'm able to get some cards before work in the morning, just gotta know when the stores restock and you should be fine
1:52 Oh yes, Bionicle. My favorite pokemon
xD
The sad part is now the people who actually want to play the game instead of treating them like NFTs can't do that because everyone's buying up all the packs. It's a damn shame.
what u gon do about it ?
This guy rly just exposed all of his security like "try me"
not my best idea
Lol a few cameras and a door jam is not going to stop someone from robbing you if they really want to. If anything, they have just shown the world how very insecure their house is in comparison to the amount of product they have stored there.
@@Jacob0481 you honestly think he doesnt have at least one gun ? Hahaha.
@@pokene_pokemon you good man! i thought this video was inspiring and motivating. as a millennial i appreciate the transparency. large scale retail stores don’t hide their security systems. i think people are envious of financial independent success. this content is relatable and makes me want to pursue with my business ideas.
@@pokene_pokemon dude u hope this video gets no views, in business when the market is hot for your product, never give an edge to competition, you just saturated your market
Only $2-3k on security?! With $50k in inventory sitting in there at a time, I highly recommend upgrading your security system a bit.
I love Japanese cards especially vintage. All my English cards I have I bought because it was a good deal and in America there isn’t really the same type of market for Japanese like their is for English!
Tell me you don’t smoke cigars without telling me you don’t smoke cigars. Say cheese and hold the cigar like it’s a gun 🙄😂😂😂
“We’ve got a door kick that goes on our door handle, we have everything”😂😂
I feel like interviewing Max about Pokemon would be more interesting.
Interviewing anyone besides box breakers would be interesting
I sure would love to see a follow up on this now that everybody is paying more for a gallon of gas then a pack of cards
Great series please continue
You mean scalpers buying massive amounts of Pokémon cards then reselling them for higher prices? Okay.
Why don't you do the same instead of complaining?
Just say you're mad they thought of doing this first and be done with it.
That’s Business 101. I guess all businesses are scalpers they do the exact same thing
He talks about how “taking American product” is morally bad because it takes the product from the kids, but i guess its okay if its japanese kids that your taking away from lol
this is a good comment - we get it directly from suppliers - not retail stores. but i guess you could argue its still less cards in Japan - fair point there
My thoughts exactly. The individuals or private store owners still have to get the cards from somewhere.
@@UnusableFootage I live in Japan. It has become very hard to buy any products here over the last couple of months
@@properbritishenglish cry more Baka😌
@@pokene_pokemon If that’s the case, is there a reason you can’t get it direct from suppliers here in the U.S?
Seems like scalping either way, which is what the whole Pokémon card scene has turned into (IMO). Just depends on which kids you want to scalp cards from 😬😅
Inmate: what are you in for?
This guy: im a Pokémon card dealer
That's not a side hustle, that's his full time job. Big difference.
He's kept his job for after the crash.

FACTS
I appreciate the hustle, but damn, talking about money is just straight up boring as hell.
OP probably doesn’t have any
they wont last guaranteed.
@John but money does have value if not you would be homeless on the street. I don’t think there’s nothing wrong with pursuing a better life that money provides if you don’t want to that’s cool but some of us are chasing that bag.
@your name goes here
We know you're broke, it's okay buddy.
That's my teacher not even joking 🤣😂😂
I collected baseball cards back in the day. Hand put together sets, spent lots of money doing it that way. Back then knew what my cards were worth and knew what the money cards were, but now. Last I checked according to Beckett price guide those same sets that cost me so much aren't worth what I put into them!
Pre autograph era wax suffered that fate for the most part.
Small story, my brother used to be addicted to Cocaine and when he was in rehab, Pokémon helped him concentrate on something different, he has tons of cards.
Awesome story, well done to your brother for beating addiction back!
Gotta catch 'em all!
This guy 100% getting robbed at some point.
Let’s just show our entire house and our security system to the world and hope for the best.
Thanks for telling us all of your security measurements :)
This feels like late night sales ads about jewelry and kitchen knifes
This hurts…almost 10 years ago I had 2-3 binders full of all kind and a lot of rare cards stolen 😰
I sold my childhood collection ata garage sale when I was 14 - horrible feeling lol
11:05 Something about the kids saying “and he said it was worth like a hundred bucks” didn’t feel quite right.
I LOVED Pokémon when I was a kid, I didn’t think about it as an investment though.
nah man, I remember as a kid other kids showing off their expensive cards. it was never an investment thing, just showboating
@@pianoonparade But were the cards actually worth a lot back then? Did people resell the way they do now? I remeber having some rare-ish cards in the early 2000s that other kids were envious of, but I never thought “oh this is worth a lot of money”.
@@pianoonparade as a kid in the early 2000s, we would never show off for value. Rather, it was to flex the card or Pokémon itself. Like, it was cool to have a holographic Entei or Charizard and we would flex that. But it wouldn’t be like “oh look at this holographic entei, it’s worth $80.”
I felt the same way when the kid said that ... its seen that collecting pokemon cards is not as fun as it was back then now its all about money... money is neecesary but thinking so much in money take the fun out of anything...
Everyone should stop commenting what these people should be doing! Looks like they’re very successful in their business so you should be taking notes instead of hating just to have a voice !
Thanks so much!!!
it's just a lot of jealousy. Very sad to see tbh.
I love seeing the open packages
I had no idea this was thing.
The funny thing is, as with all collectibles, when people get bored of these, they will be worth nothing.
Had no idea this was a thing?.... You living under a rock?
@@ArtiimusPlays I don't collect or play pokemon. Plus I like in the UK and I have not seen this here.
I think Pokémon is probably one of safer bets. It's an old IP that's been well established in many cultures for decades now. Not likely to fade over night
Lmao you sound like every boomer in the early 2000s that couldnt have been proven more wrong you realize that
it's not like this is new. the card game has been around for more than 20 years, and people have been making money off them just the same as they do now. there's no "bored of these" if the franchise still thrives and releases content to enable this.
Feels weird to just put all your business out in the air like this
They want to promote both their business and their ego (look at us and our money!!!)
He doesn't strike me as particularly bright... or good at actually committing to any of these "side hustles". What is this hustle number 5 or 6? Lady needs to find a new partner lmao.

It's a window in the safe room. LOL

@@pokene_pokemon Never imagined pokemon cards were this valuable. What's the plan after crash happens? I'm hoping you're still employed...
The video shows he's putting the money in real estate
@@aden3113 it's not really about them being valuable. they're literally buying bulk prices (he said he spends 50-60k on bulk orders per month) then sells individual packs for 1-10$ markup. it's only making them money cause pokemon is popular right now and there's enough idiots out there who don't mind overpaying to watch someone open their hits with other ppl watching.
It's people like this that take the fun of collecting ! When I was a kid when this first come out it was about trading with others , playing the game and enjoying that fresh unopened pack you saved your pocket money for and hope for a charazard or something great as such! This saddens me that this is what today's society is about money not the enjoyment !
Dude kids don't play with cards anymore.

Yo when he said "always been a fan" they couldn't find one pic as a kid with pokemon instead they had him with bionicles!!??!!
my parents were horrible at documenting... Gary V wasnt cool yet
Would've loved to have heard more from the Japanese supplier. I dont understand how hes not being butchered by import fees??
He uses FedEx which is quite affordable actually
Probably because they are purposely inflating the prices of worthless paper cards 1000folds. But they sell to different markets for cheaper prices.
Ie. A USA medication pill will cost 2 pennies in India but $100 in the US. We'll I imagine this sort of like buying a bunch of pills for 2 cents in India and selling them back to Americans at a higher price, but still a good deal for them.
Except is this case they won't fcking kill you/throw you in a jail box forever... because you know the big drug companies don't mess around when it comes to their profits.
Pokémon collectors items aren't worth as much in japan even if he pays $150 for shipping he can still make profit if he makes a large order
1 year later and PTCG is at an all time high it's impossible to know what the market for card games are gonna be.
I dont understand how he made $700 in a minute. So roughly 42,000 per hour yet he only makes 40-50k per month. Something don't add up

Great see to see they are level headed about this. Typically fast money bring slow problems. People get hooked on the fast money and don't have the exit strategy. But looks like they already have it planned with real estate. Happy to see it. I am looking forward to the crash.
level headed? first clip they throw around thier money
haha, why are you looking forward to the crash?
If it crashes, all you need is another collector like Logan Paul to do a live stream Pokémon card opening, and the market will skyrocket again.
