The "don't compare your collection to others" sentiment is a great lesson in general and can be applied to many aspects of your life. Love it dude!

I wholeheartedly agree with this, a while ago I sold my collection because it was overwhelming me and taking over too much of my life. Then 151 came out and I fell in love. Now I’m solely focusing on a binder that will eventually have a master set of 151 as well as my favorite artworks of the original 151 Pokémon from sets I’ve accumulated along the way. As a 90s kid, the nostalgia helped me refocus as a collector. Having a goal and design in mind has made this hobby 10x more fun and more manageable than it was before!

I didn't know I need a coaching video in Pokemon cards collecting until I watched this video lol. Thank you for such great video. <3

[sirbane]

this for me hit home, i was a crazy collector once just garbbing anything and everything and never completing, now i focus on 1 set at a time and complete a binder and give dupelicates away to the pokemon community, Pat as always you are a legend my friend, keep bringing us gold videos like this, see you at CP2 in June

Im just collecting the cards I like. I love full arts, but when I go to card shows, I dont purchase every full art I come across. I only purchase it if I genuinely like it.

I love opening my binder, and being happy every time I flip the page admiring the art work.

I remember pulling a Latias & Latios GX 170/181 in my first ever pack of Team Up about a year ago. I got it graded and it came back a gem mt 10. That is 100% what I am most proud of in my collection.

I started collecting Pokémon cards just a few months ago and I’m from Dominican Republic and it’s been sooo hard, there ain’t many collectors or shops here, you can find some players, but collectors are hard to find. Your channel always inspires me to keep it up, even though it can be hard at times

I’m most proud about the fact that at the start of the year I only had nine v’s and now I have over 200 alt arts, golden cards, v’s, vmax’s, etc and this channel inspired me to do so, so thanks pat

This video helped me out so much! I am someone who collects and spends a lot of time researching and collecting not only Pokémon cards, but 80s toys, Funko Pops, Star Wars products, Masters of The Universe products, etc. and I struggle with storage. This video helped me out a lot with Pokémon card collecting! Thank you!

As someone who's been in this for 25 years, this was actually all very good advice. Although I've rarely if ever let anything go. For the first 8 years of Pokémon I just collected everything - complete sets and every promo, but by the time of Gen 4, it all became too much and I just collected certain things. My main collections are Artist (Arita in JPN and ENG for example) or Species completism (JPN & ENG). I've got so many cards now that it's taken over parts of my house.

I can't comprehend how much this channel grew it's like I just saw it cross 100k yesterday and it's now almost at 800k incredible

I’ve had so many regrets from 6 year old me putting valuable cards in a deck without sleeping them.

[PidgeyBoyz]

Been collecting groudon! Was losing hope but at trade night I managed to find 3! Honestly, I do look at my collection ALOT. It’s been definitely helping me determine what can come and go.

We sort our bulk in empty ETBs and label them. Might be doing something with our bulk involving our trip to Card Party 😏😉

I love opening up Pokemon cards for my YouTube Channel but what I’m most proud of is knowing that I found the love for Pokemon again. I’ve started my journey in June and since then I’ve been very happy. I don’t have a particular collection just yet but soon I will see what catches my eyes. Thanks Pat for everything you do for the community and I hope to one day be apart of these videos

[owencreatescontent]

i don’t collect pokemon cards, but i am still a fan of your channel and this advice has really impacted the way i sort and yugioh cards. i have been a professional player for the past few years and my desk is always covered in random yugioh cards that are either bulk or useful stuff. just having this advice has completely turned around my collection. thank you so much ❤️

[GodIsGoodArmadeus]

Pat, I think I’m most proud of my Trainer Gallery collection. I haven’t completed any yet because prices are insane 😅 but I have made great progress. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all DPM, see u at Card Party 🎉

[faedryn]

In general I try to collect any cards that has a different illustration, but trying to focus my collection to not spend too much, I go with my favorite pokemon! I almost completed my volcarona/slither wing/iron moth collection and I discovered special edition of these cards a week ago like a STAFF one that I never seen before and it's a must now hahaha

[pokemonPT]

I am one of the many who recently returned to collecting because of 151. I'm still figuring out my collection and where I want to go, first it was full arts then I started collecting vintage. Now I want to complete base set thru gym challenge heros, along with randomly picking up cards I like. Still figuring out this process but this video was very informational!

[StellanAnderson]

I love how you can really tell how much time and effort pat puts into his videos it’s awesome
