A
I personally don't collect Pokemon cards right now. The good thing about my videos is, like, it's Pokemon related, but it's not Pokemon only. You don't have to like Pokemon to like the videos.
- [00:09]
B
Welcome to the Trading Cards and Collectibles podcast on the Radcast Network. From chasing grails to calling bluffs and going inside the hobby, are you ready to collect? Let's get at it. Here is your host, Ryan Alford.
- [00:28]
C
What's up, guys? Welcome to Trading Cards and Collectibles. Here on the Radcast Network, we're bringing you all things collecting. I'm always surrounded by some of my favorite collectibles. And, you know, the boys and I are into Pokemon. We've talked about that, and we think we know some things, but here's what I know. We don't know as much as this guy. He is the beard dad. Beard dad cards. What's up, Phil?
- [00:54]
A
What's up, man? How you doing?
- [00:55]
C
I'm great. I appreciate you coming on the show again. The boys and I pretend to know enough on Pokemon, so I am. I'm coming to the show not only as the host, but also making some mental notes of, you know, what I.
- [01:10]
A
What?
- [01:10]
C
I don't know. I know a lot. What's happening, man? We're in Virginia, right?
- [01:17]
A
Yeah, we're in Virginia today, dude. We're in Virginia.
- [01:19]
C
Y.
- [01:20]
A
Good old Virginia.
- [01:21]
C
How does a beard dad get into Pokemon?
- [01:25]
A
By having kids. By being a dad, Right? Definitely by being a dad.
- [01:30]
C
Yeah. How long have we been doing this?
- [01:33]
A
I've been into Pokemon my whole life, but deep into this hobby, to where I'm at now for about. I want to say about. It's going to be a year in November, so.
- [01:43]
C
All right, that's cool, man. And I like what you're doing. You're making it really accessible for kids, for people. I mean, that's definitely what you're known for in watching your content. You're doing a good job. And I think, at least when I grew up, you know, I tell people the story all the time, so you're going to hear it on the show. But the local card store guys, and they were jerks. It's like, it was like you almost, you know, they had so much control because you didn't have knowledge and availability, but everybody was a dick, you know, it's like. Yeah, I don't. And now, you know, it's refreshing seeing guys like you that are, you know, opening things up, sharing knowledge, sharing information, and making accessible.
- [02:18]
A
Yeah, that was the whole plan that Was the plan from the beginning. Just watching my own kids at shows, when I would walk around with them, you know, being told, no. Like, no, I'm not taking that card, or, you know, I'll give you 50, because that card's really not that great. And yada yada, it's all the scamming, all the, you know, you learn about it over time. And as much as you try and try to help others not let that happen, it's. There's no way around it. So I'm trying to find a way to work that doesn't happen to kids anymore, you know? Yeah, that was one of the main things.
- [02:47]
C
Yeah. And that's kind of how I felt when I was. I mean, some things change, but now you've got. Having been back into the hobby here a little over a year myself, it's like. Yeah, it's almost data overload. There's a lot of information.
- [03:03]
A
Yeah. Nowadays it just. It just takes you wanting to know. If you want to know, you'll find out. It's that simple. It's as simple as asking. Nowadays with the Internet, there's so many groups and the Pokemon community itself. The community itself, outside of the people that just in it to make money, they're great. The community's great. Everybody's willing to help. Everybody, man. I mean, I've learned it firsthand, you know.
- [03:25]
C
So what's in the collection?
- [03:32]
A
You're gonna be all right. So in the collection. There are no Pokemon cards in my collection.
- [03:37]
C
Oh, okay.
- [03:38]
A
Yeah. I have sold away and. And traded and gotten rid of all my collection to be able to further and further, you know, my. Myself, you know, and being able to buy more. More stuff and, you know, have more inventory to do these shows. So I personally don't collect Pokemon cards right now. What I do collect are custom things. Everybody that comes to my table, they will bring me. They know that Nidoking is my favorite Pokemon, or they'll bring me their favorite Pokemon as a gift, and they sign it. And I have a binder full of that stuff. Or I have, you know, custom art that people give me and then Jordans. That's about what I collect. I've tried to collect Pokemon cards for. Yeah, I've tried to collect Pokemon cards for myself, But I look at it and I'm like, man, I know this card's worth twelve hundred dollars. I can't just let it sit there. Like, I can go sell it, or I can go trade it, or I can go use it for this or that. So I never Keep it. Unfortunately, I'm not at that point yet. There might be a day that it gets. That it comes where I can finally do that, and I will. But right now, it's just right now I'm thinking about other things and other ways to help people, help my kids, help myself, help our future. And spending money on Pokemon cards for me right now isn't something that I can do.
- [04:57]
C
No, hey, that's responsible knowledge. That's what it's good knowledge for, you know, any of our younger listeners or watchers, you know, whoever's out there or collecting, you know, that's responsibility. And, you know, you're. You're using your knowledge and what you've built, you know, as a business. I mean, it is a business for you, and it is now.
- [05:15]
A
Yeah, it's become one.
- [05:16]
C
Separate it. Right. It seems like you can separate the two, and it's responsible, I think. I mean, what is the core? I mean, doing live breaks, doing shows, what is, what are the facets of the business?
- [05:29]
A
For me, my main thing is I just do. I just travel and do vendor shows where I live stream. And when I live stream during these shows, that brings an audience to be able to watch the interactions, because that's what everybody's favorite thing is, is watching the interactions. And within those interactions, people can, you know, immerse themselves and help from their home. You know, they can help these kids. They're like, oh, I, you know, oh, my God, that guy's wearing, hey, you know, wearing a Beatles T shirt. I love the Beatles. Let's hook that guy up. You know, and then they get happy because they made that person happy. And, you know, they send. They want to, you know, donate some money via YouTube live stream, or they want to send it, you know, through my PayPal or something like that. And then I tell that person, hey, you know, so and so, just wanted to let you know, they love your shirt and, you know, they want to be able to get you something or, you know, a little kid will come up and, you know, they want to buy something and their parents are like, hey, we really can't spend the money for that. Regardless, I'm going to take care of it. But a lot of times they jump ahead and already go ahead and take care of it.
- [06:31]
C
That's awesome, man.
- [06:32]
A
Yeah.
- [06:34]
C
And so you're using the live feature within, you know, a physical, you know, show that's happening and then leveraging that to sort of these experiences both online and offline. Yeah, that's cool. Hey, it's smart using technology I mean.
- [06:53]
A
It work, it works great. I mean, it's the best way to be able to give back. I'm not rich. I don't ever plan on being rich. So that's the only way that I can constantly give back to everybody that deserves it.
- [07:04]
C
So when you're set up, you're selling like wax cars, individual cars, I mean, you know.
- [07:09]
A
Yeah, just individual cards.
- [07:11]
C
Yeah, it's more. So it's just merchandise for you. So it's not necessarily collection. Everything's merchandise that you're selling?
- [07:16]
A
Yeah, just cards that I am selling. I don't, I don't sell anything graded. I only sell, sell raw copies of cards.
- [07:23]
C
How do you get your inventory?
- [07:25]
A
Unfortunately for me, a lot of times people can buy, you know, they'll buy large lots from people. Sometimes people come to my table and bring a bunch of stuff, hey, you want to buy this? You want to buy this? And unfortunately, it's come to a point where I used to buy it, right? I used to buy 75, 80% of market value. And that 20 is what makes up my margins, Right. Sometimes I get lucky and the car jumps and I get more, you know, sometimes I don't get lucky and the card drops and I lose money. But it's all part of the hobby. I've gotten to a point where I have a line of people waiting to meet, do interact, collection, say hi, you know, get something signed, stuff like that. So I don't have time to buy these cards at the shows anymore. I can't spend 30 minutes buying out a collection like I used to at the shows. And during the week I just, I don't have time during the week to go meet people to buy stuff. So right now for me, I don't make any money selling Pokemon cards at all. I don't make any money. I mean, maybe a little bit, I'm not gonna say it all, maybe a little bit, but not that 20 anymore because now I partner up with a couple shops and I just pay them. They put, put together, you know, a bunch of cards and, and I just pay them what the cards are worth because at the end of the day, I'm just going to sell them for what they're worth. And, you know, the content is what makes up the money for me.
- [08:30]
C
Cool. So you're funded like through the content channels themselves?
- [08:35]
A
Yeah, YouTube. Tick tock. A lot of the shows that people charge for tickets to enter, they pay me for going to their shows. That gets them more ticket sales. So in a sense they pay me. And that, that's how I make my living.
- [08:46]
C
Yeah, you know, that makes sense.
- [08:48]
A
At the time.
- [08:48]
C
You've reached that point where you've built your following up and your Persona, and so now you're a, you know, paid celebrity in the Pokemon.
- [08:59]
A
In a sense, people say that I don't. I don't ever agree with them, but in a sense, that's kind of what it is.
- [09:05]
C
And you know what? Like, for someone listening, it's like people go, oh, that's the dream, man. You know, I'm collecting, and everybody knows who I am, and I watch it. I mean, and maybe it is. I mean, you're blessed to do it, but you've worked.
- [09:16]
A
I'm blessed there.
- [09:17]
C
But how is it.
- [09:19]
A
I mean, like. Like, I tell people it's a blessing and a curse in a sense. I mean, the only curse part is the, you know, the how tired I am at the end of the shows. It doesn't seem like it, but how much work it is. It's a lot of work to give full attention to the person in front of you. At the same time, be able to give attention to the live stream so that you're not missing anything. And then at the end of the show, to be able to get more inventory, to be able to supply these people with these cards and, you know, this interaction and what they're there for. You know, they're there for an interaction. They're there to meet somebody that they watch online, that they have respect for, and I want to give them respect back, and I want to give them exactly what they came for. That's.
- [09:54]
C
It's a good.
- [09:55]
A
It's a lot of. It's a lot of work.
- [09:56]
C
It is, but it's worth it to me.
- [09:58]
A
It's worth it. My kids love it. My kids love watching me do it.
- [10:01]
C
All you did was do podcasting. I'm like. But to be dialed in, if I do, like, five shows in a day, which I don't do that many more, but I would. I would come home and, like, melt into the ground, like, because. Because you're. You're paying again. You're giving attention and. And. And. And it's different, but it's the same. It's your brain. You're.
- [10:20]
A
Because you're your brain the whole time, man.
- [10:22]
C
You're working the whole time. You're not just sitting there in your own world. Even if you're kind of typing on something or work, doing whatever your job is. It's different when you're truly on.
- [10:32]
A
Right. My main thing, like these. These live Streams they like. The last one this weekend was about a 10 hour long live stream where I did not leave the table for the whole 10 hours. So I don't take breaks. I have a line of people and if, if the place closes down, they want us to pack up and leave. But if I have a. There's still 20 people in that line. I'm going to stay and make sure I'd see all 20 of those people. So if I take a break, that's more time at the end of the show. You see what I'm saying? So I try my best not to take breaks and that stuff does, you know, wear out on me. I'll, you know, I'll eat while I'm talking to somebody. And it's all natural, man. I'm, you know, do what I got to do to make sure I see everybody.
- [11:07]
C
So where's your recognized? Like just in general public.
- [11:11]
A
It's not very, very often. It has happened a little bit more lately. The other day at a. I don't know if you. Where you guys are in South Carolina, if you guys have a Wawa.
- [11:19]
C
No, but I'm familiar with what it is.
- [11:21]
A
All right, so Wawa's just a really big gas station that also has like a store inside, kind of like a buc EE's sheets in a sense. I was at Wawa getting coffee and somebody, hey, I know you and I'm like, you do? Like, yeah, yeah, you're the beard guy. And I'm like, I am the guy with a beard for sure. You know. And then this last weekend coming back at the airport, while I was waiting on my luggage, two people recognized me and were like, oh my God, I watch your videos. I love your videos. You're awesome. The good thing about my videos is, like, it's Pokemon related, but it's not Pokemon only you don't have to like Pokemon to like the videos.
- [11:53]
C
Yeah.
- [11:53]
A
So very approachable. Yeah. And I can't go into local card stores. Obviously. If I go into one of the card stores, there's going to be people, they're like, oh my gosh, I know you. You know, I mean, I am at, you know, over a million followers throughout the three platforms. You know, almost 2 million throughout the three platforms.
- [12:08]
C
So talk to me. Someone's listening. They want to get into Pokemon. It's a hard thing. And, you know, we could probably spend two hours or two days.
- [12:18]
A
We could spend days talking about.
- [12:20]
C
Yeah. Talking about like different strategies, different. But you got all the different sets of versions. Maybe start with where and how you guide someone coming into it, you know, fresh or relatively new.
- [12:33]
A
What I tell most people, you want to get back into Pokemon or get into Pokemon, there's millions of ways. Yes, you can just go to your local card shop and buy singles that you like to build a collection. That local card shop will also have sealed product for you to open. You can try your hand at going to retailers and trying to buy, you know, Target, Walmart. Unfortunately, nowadays it's, you know, it's all set up already by scalpers to where you walk in. It's already gone. There are. They already know when the drop is coming. I mean these guys are, you know, from what I know, they're paying the, the people that work for MJ holding and when they drop off these things, like they're paying them, hey, let me know what time you're dropping it off here. And you know, this and that. And so it's a little harder. But if you're getting in the hobby, your best bet is to go to Facebook, go to your events on Facebook and look for a card event in your area for a week. You know, on a weekend. They have small card shows everywhere. Buy your cards, watch a lot of videos on YouTube and stuff about it so you can learn a little bit about how you find the value of these cards so that you're not overpaying and kind of just, you know, see what you like once you get in and you, you know, you'll, you'll, within a week you'll figure it all out. I mean, you'll figure out what you want within a couple days, honestly.
- [13:41]
C
What about like some of the newer sets like versus older, that sort of thing, you know, I mean, okay, what's. If you're collecting, you know, you see if, and, and now speaking more probably someone that's like started to get another, you know, you see these price variations like prismatic and 151 and then yeah, the current release is, you know, if you can find it, you know, five or six dollars a pack versus, you know, 10, 12, 15.
- [14:10]
A
Yeah.
- [14:11]
C
City rarity. What's driving all that?
- [14:13]
A
Yeah, it's, I mean a lot of it is supply and demand a rarity as well. Prismatic was a smaller set. It's full of Evolutions. Everybody loves Evolutions. The cards are in it are expensive. So when you pull that expensive card, you get a lot of money. Right. So you end up paying more money to try to make more money in a sense. Right. Same with 151. It's a set that everybody Loves. So that set will always be worth some money. Then you have smaller sets, like, you know, paradox, sorry, paradox, Rift or temporal forces that have some good cards, but not really. Oh, you know, the chase is a raging bolt, which people don't really like. Or the chase might be, you know, something people don't really like. So the packs are cheaper because people don't care as much about what's in them. That's how, that's how I've realized it, how I've noticed it.
- [15:01]
C
What I can't figure out, Phil, is like open or keep sealed open or.
- [15:08]
A
To keep it sealed struggle, you know.
- [15:11]
C
With the boys and I, part of our experience is out together opening stuff. And I don't overcome that part. You know, you do it and it's. I don't. That's fine. But then there's always, okay, if you got surplus or you got some extra, it's like, do you just throw it in the closet? Do you, you know, how do you know which one's better? Because again, you pay less per pack for Pokemon versus like other sports types things and all that. And so I'm always like, is the potential of getting one of those chase cards or a hit card greater than saving the unopened?
- [15:43]
A
Right. So Pokemon does a pretty good job of making the same product in a sense to where you keep it sealed. They make what's called Pokemon center stamped product, which are the elite trainer boxes. Those are very rare. When you get one, I recommend not opening it because it's very rare. You just leave it to the side. They'll make the same box without that little stamp. And you open those as far as like, if you get into the hobby and you find some of the older stuff, that older stuff is the stuff that you're not going to want to open up. If you're looking to, to make money in the future. That older stuff, you probably don't want to open up, up the newer stuff, whatever what just came out, open the crap out of it because there's going to be more. Right, but then, you know, stuff from 2018 or before, they're not remaking that. So if you don't have a means of getting a bunch of them, get what you can and you know, save a couple of them and you know, open the rest.
- [16:37]
C
Yeah, because like I'll get, you know, like if we get lucky enough to score some retail price, you know, stuff whether it's Walmart or Sam's or like some of that stuff, you know, like we've hit, we've gotten access to like some Prismatic that'd be, it's way cheaper than what it ever been. But I'm like, right, do you throw that sealed in the closet or do you bust that thing open?
- [17:00]
A
I mean, me personally, I'll tell you not to open your Prismatic. That one's one of the hardest ones to get hits from.
- [17:09]
C
Like 30 packs of that stuff. And that's not many, but I'm just saying a few hits, you know, and it's like, I look, I'm like, I think I got $4 in cards right there.
- [17:21]
A
Yeah, yeah. Which is funny because I don't open, I don't do sealed product. I don't buy it, I don't trade it, I don't collect it. Nothing with sealed product. Also, only sealed product I ever do is when it's, when it's for me to give away throughout the shows. So there was one time where I took a sealed product in from somebody so that they, because that's all they had to get a card. And I was like, all right, let's open it. And my son opens it and he gets the God pack from Prismatic and gets every single e lution. It was like a 3,500 dollar pack, you know.
- [17:54]
C
Holy crap. I always thought those were just made up. Like.
- [17:59]
A
No, it, I, I watched it happen in front of me. It's real. It's real.
- [18:03]
C
Yeah. I would love that to happen. I mean that's, that would be amazing. But they are hard.
- [18:08]
A
Yeah.
- [18:08]
C
So if we've acknowledged Prismatic is hard to get hits in, what's the best bang for the Buck Brown Zenith?
- [18:16]
A
In my opinion?
- [18:17]
C
Okay.
- [18:17]
A
I mean they got a, a Galerian gallery, a trainer gal. They got hits and hits. And you open 1012 packs of Crown Zenith you're bound to get at least six hits. And right now Crown Zenith prices are going higher and higher and higher. I mean the ceiling for Crown Zenith is that Guerritina v star at $200 compared to some sets that have a 4, 6 12, 2, 500 dollar ceiling. Their ceiling is only 200 bucks but their range of cards range from anywhere between 20 to $40. There's so many that you know, if you just want to collect stuff and you want full art cards and cool looking cards, Crown Zenith is probably your best bet. And it's not too expensive.
- [18:53]
C
No, it's not. That's good knowledge to have actually because we will sometimes know we're just going to rip something and have Crown Zenith probably available because it's, that's generally available and not as pricey as some of the other stuff, so.
- [19:05]
A
Right, right. Yeah. Crown Zenith tends to have a lot of hits. I mean, they're not expensive hits, but they're hits. It's that feeling, oh, I got something cool. You know, let's go look at. Just don't look up what it's worth, but just know that you got something cool.
- [19:16]
C
You know, the moment you look it.
- [19:18]
A
Up, you're gonna be like, what do.
- [19:20]
C
You think of the new Mega Evolution?
- [19:21]
A
Mega Evolution's cool. I mean, it's. They're just bringing back the older stuff. You know, they're trying to bring back the older stuff. I mean, the hobby is so big right now that I feel like anything. Pokemon Drops is going to be great right now. I do like Mega Evolution. I think it's. I mean, they have. To me, it's the, the, the special illustration rares and the Mega cards aren't my favorites. It's a smaller illustration rares. Those are what that I think are cool.
- [19:42]
C
Yeah, I like the vibrancy of it. It has almost like a. Trying to put my finger on it, like, I don't know, like a. Marvel's not the right word, but it's. I don't know, the vibrancy to the colors. It felt different.
- [19:55]
A
Right.
- [19:56]
C
That's probably the whole part of that selection.
- [19:59]
A
Yeah, they tried something different. I mean, that's what they do.
- [20:02]
C
What's coming out? What. I mean, how, how on the pulse, like, I mean, you're selling singles, you know, you're. How on the pulse are you with every release?
- [20:11]
A
Oh, I don't even pay attention to any of it. I don't, I really don't. I see it, but I don't try to buy anything or, you know, I don't. I'm not over here trying to, you know, waiting in line to buy the new set and stuff like that. It's, you know, if it comes to my table, it comes to my table. If not, whatever, you know, I can. I don't like ripping stuff that like that. I'm not big into Ripp cards. My kids, they're. They like it, but they're not like, oh, I gotta, you know, they don't have that itch, you know, like some people do. So we don't really. We don't really. We're not like dying to go buy packs. So. Yeah, I have that going for me.
- [20:45]
C
I can't do the standing in line thing. Like, if I can.
- [20:48]
A
Yeah, I won't do it either on.
- [20:49]
C
It or like if I know somebody says, hey, go over there, you might land on something and I, and it's in the, the plan for the trip, then fine, I'm not getting long, you know.
- [21:01]
A
Yeah, I'm not, I'm not sitting in a one hour line for, for a box of rich. I don't blame people that do because, you know if they don't, they're going to pay three times as much, which sucks. So I don't blame them for doing it. I just, I don't, I'm not into it.
- [21:16]
C
I just wonder what the tipping point is with the scalper thing. And I don't look down. I got no problem. Look, if you go wait in line and you want to and it's, you know, it's. We live in, we live in the usa. It's capitalist market, you know, like that's what it is, hating on you. But I do wonder when there is this tipping point of how much product they put in the. Like when does that stop or does it never? I don't. Because it has it, has it always been that way?
- [21:40]
A
No, no, it wasn't like this always. It used to be I used to go into Target and buy Evolving skies off the shelf like it was no problem. Nowadays it's just, you know, it's. There's so many people in the hobby and there's the hobbies is so many, so much money is being made. So you know, the people that they're like, hey, instead of working a 9 to 5 job, I can wake up really early and go stand in this lodge and buy all this stuff here, there and there, and then resell it and make more in one day than I made all week. And then I can just not do anything. So that's why we have the scalpers right now.
- [22:12]
C
Yep. I don't know when that tipping point comes though.
- [22:14]
A
I don't, I don't know.
- [22:16]
C
I don't know where's it all headed, Phil? Like, what's what? When you look at your crystal ball, like for you. Where do you want to take this thing?
- [22:25]
A
I don't know, man. I'm just going day by day, week by week, scheduling shows and meeting new people and just making. It's the same thing over and over for me. I go to the shows, I meet new, new people. I make the content, we make people happy. And who knows? I don't know who knows. I mean, Pokemon can die out and people not go to shows anymore and not have shows, but I can still find a way to if I have an audience, in a sense. I can still find a way to live stream sports cards if that needs to be. You know, learn about that and do the same thing. I know there's a guy called Talon. He does sports cards, and he's a lot. He does a lot of that stuff where he gives back to community as well. You know, stuff like that. There's sports cards. There's. There's everything, man. There's everything. Niceness isn't just in Pokemon, you know, you can be nice and give back to the community and millions of ways.

If you get to South Carolina at all. I don't know if you do card shows around here.
- [23:28]
A
South Carolina, trying to think close is probably North Carolina. You never know. There's so many shows out there nowadays. Like, I get DMS regularly from shows like, hey, would you be interested in coming? You know, I've seen some South Carolina ones.

So I'm building a multimedia store that's gonna be my podcast video meets a hobby store. But everything's sort of on. I call it, like, name, Name to be determined. But Card House Live, like, literally, it's built for people to come do breaks. All the deals are filmed. Like, everything's sort of multimedia. And as we kind of get that thing rolling, I'd love to maybe invite you or have you down and. Yeah, we could do some fun stuff together.
- [24:14]
A
Yeah, of course. I'd love to.
- [24:16]
C
Great, man. Where can everybody keep up with what you're doing, Phil?
- [24:18]
A
Main ones, Instagram, tick tock and YouTube. Those are my three major ones. I live stream on YouTube every weekend. Saturdays and sometimes Sundays at The shows are two days, normally 8am Whatever place I am that time. So if I'm in, you know, on the west coast, you know, or the east coast, you know, 8am normally when I start and goes on till 6, sometimes 7pm Unbelievable.
- [24:45]
C
I don't know how you do that.
- [24:47]
A
I don't know either, man. I love doing it. That's what it is. It's not a job, you know, I loved. I don't sit. I feel like if I sit down that I have sat down on day Twos because I'm so worn out from standing all day. But, like, I feel like if I'm, if, if you're coming to talk to me, I, I should be respectful enough to stand to talk to. I shouldn't be sitting down and looking up at you or, you know, maybe if it's a little kid, I'll sit down so I can be more at their level. But, you know, I try to stand throughout the entire show. So, yeah, it is. It's a lot. But, you know, I love doing it. When you're having fun, you can be as tired as you want. You're going to keep going 100%.
