For all of you that have followed me for seven years, you all know this. I've been pretty head down in the last three years compared to the prior five years of building the Gary Vee brand.

I used to watch you back in 2026, 2027. You were on TikTok Live all the time. You were spinning that good business and mindset knowledge. I loved your content, but I didn't, like, I didn't get the veefriends thing that I didn't collect. And I regret it so much now because you blew it up. I want that satisfaction of you not believing in me. Do you understand how much I get excited about you not believing in vee friends? Do you know how much I love it? Do you understand that being underestimated is my favorite thing ever? That I actually like all of you that are not collecting be friends more than I love my incredible homies that are in here collecting. I'm focused. I love your underestimation of this universe I'm building. You know why? You know why? Where is he? There he is. Cause I am a passionate parrot. That's me. I'm a passionate parrot. That's what I am. I'm just a passionate parent. Everybody take the quiz. If you have no idea what veefriends is, the best way to figure it out is to go take the quiz. The quiz is linked in my bio. Go take the quiz and come back and tell me who you are. Which vee friend are you? Who hit the bell, everybody let me know if you just joined me for the first time. You followed me and hit the bell.

Shrek, Buzz Lightyear, Felix the cat, Heathcliff, Garfield, Popeye the sailor man, spider man, Thor, Dr. Doom, Darth Vader, Porky Pig, Smurfette, Kermit the Frog. All of these characters rookie cards are going to go crazy in the next decade. I'm so bullish. Fictional character, vintage pre 1990 rookie cards are about to go crazy. Crazy. Ooh, Cosmo got the entrepreneur elf. I love that for you, Daffy Duck. I like them all fanatic. What people don't realize is the comic book and toys crew that loves comic con. They're coming to sports cards, they're coming to trading cards. So they don't collect that. Now, like Spiderman heads don't like the biggest spider man collectors in the world. Don't default into like, the ones that have spent hundreds of thousands. They're not like, oh, I have to own the 1966 Donruss Spider man rookie card. But in the next five years, they're going to blue J design. Should I drop 500 on cards if you know what you're doing. Or if you're looking to collect for yourself. If you're looking to flip, get very educated. Thank you, Kevin from Belgium. Thank you for being here. I'm always bullish on the koala. Especially the koala. 2025. I like plushies. Yaddy.
