We spent OVER $200,000 buying Pokémon cards at a local show… was it worth it? 👀

In today’s video, you’ll get a full behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like buying and selling cards at a local show here in Florida. Not every show is easy—some are loaded with deals, while others make you work for every single one.

This time, we’re on the hunt in our hometown, negotiating, networking, and trying to lock in the best deals possible.

But here’s the truth:
Not every deal is quick.
Not every negotiation goes through.
And sometimes… you walk away empty-handed.

That’s the reality of the game.

By the end of the weekend, we invested over $200,000 into inventory—building relationships, meeting new vendors, and making moves to scale the business.

The mission stays the same:
Keep traveling. Keep buying. Adapt to the market. 📈

If you want to learn how the Pokémon card market really works and see REAL deals go down in real time—you’re in the right place.
