During the pandemic, the collectible market skyrocketed to heights never seen before. At the heart of that market are trading cards.

I grew up in the perfect time to get hooked on Pokemon as a kid. Little did I know, that love (obsession, Blastoise is king) would come back around later in life. 

As the market surged, I kept my eye on it, observing from the sidelines. One day, I ran into my friend Gio at a party, who I hadn't seen in a while, and we got into a long conversation (shocking for me, I know), about how he had been collecting, buying, selling, and taking advantage of this movement that was happening. Most importantly, it sounded like he was having a great time along the way.

I was hooked, I had to know more. I also had to share it with all of you, so I stopped the conversation in its tracks, and told him lets finish it when the mics were on...and here we are.

If you're already in the market, or looking to get your feet wet with it, this is a crash-course. If you're ready to buy, Gio has an eBay store where you can get started right now. 

Are things surging to new heights? Can it keep up? Where is the best value? We got into all of that and more.
