Thanks for making these videos, normally Pokémon youtubers just open up packets of cardboard and say ooo shiny and call it a day, while you sir, you teach us how to protect our shiny cardboard correctly, it really shows how much you care for the community. And that’s wonderful.

I love my cards and spent much of money with it lol so I'm really loving what I'm learning in these videos here! I want my cards to last decades!

Can we agree that Pat deserves 10 million subs, for how amazing his content is.

My entire school has pokemon cards and I’m the only one who actually takes care of them, everyone else’s are destroyed. It triggers me.
Edit: There’s one guy in my grade who uses sleeves. Me and him are the only ones who use them.

Pat, love that you're continuing to educate as much as possible. I keep my cards in a display cabinet away from the sun and high enough up that water damage shouldn't be an issue. 😍 The education lengths you go to must help collectors all over the globe so huge kudos 🙌🏻

PS: can't wait for this new experiment can't lie 🔥🔥🔥

1:41 Starmie in the Fridge 🤣🤣.. Yea I found out the sunlight issue the hard way.. Had a bunch of cards on display at my old place which was right by a window and the light would hit them while I was work.. Took me awhile to realize it but once i did several of my cards were faded and discolored.. Awesome vid as always Pat! Much Love Fam! 🙏🙏🔥🔥❤❤

Hey Pat. Really enjoying this series! "Bad binder behavior" gave me the push I needed to finally just invest the money to upgrade everything to nice side-loading binders. Could you do a video about sealed promo cards? How to store them, reasons to open certain cards (vs keeping sealed) to store in the ways you already covered, do some storage methods lead to "crimples"!? It'd be awesome to get your opinion. Thanks for everything you do for the TCG community!

Great video! I will say this though. You were exactly on point with how some card cases do absolutely nothing to protect UV. Your experiments inspired me to conduct my own and I went to see if the most popular UV card case was actually protecting cards and surprise… it didn’t. But something else I found was that unless a card is in DIRECT sunlight it won’t fade anything. I even put a card on my window sill for 3 weeks and it was fine. The window might block more UV than we realize? Either way displaying cards should still be okay in a sunlit room as long as it’s not directly and constantly pointed at them. I wanted to just share my own findings and thank you for always sharing yours. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for the next experiment!

Pat I'm from Florida and the free way of getting the humidity from Florida is just open up your laundry dryer when its halfway done with a load and that wet moist heat is what the humidity in my state feels like!

Collecting Pokémon cards is a expensive hobby 😭
Nice video, Pat! Very informative and educational!

[fatmanjonestv]

He’s not wrong. I recently had my thermal expansion tank burst on my water heater and it drowned all my bulk! Luckily I have all my good cards very well protected so thank God for that I’m in the 5%! 👍🏻🙏🏻

bro shows us how to protect cards and also discusses his young problems aswell love u DPM Gang!

[luckymon]

Well thought out vid with great advice. I’ve personally be battling with humidity and moisture attacking my cards with all the rain in Australia this year. Thanks Pat

[StrawHatNICKK]

Pat is so funny and puts a lot of effort in his videos!

[ExaltedRay]

"Thinner than the ice that I'm on with my wife for buying way too many many Pokémon cards." Lol, I hear ya!

[WaffleHouseIsBetterThanIhop]

TL;DW: Your card's should have more protection than presidents

[mattdeegan]

Wow. Wow. WOW! You continue to kill it with informative, polished, and entertaining videos. As a new-ish member to the community, I appreciate you 👍

When Pat started hitting the PSA 10 charizard I was like, “NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING! YOU WERE JUST TELLING US ABOUT BAD STORAGE BEHAVIOR!” And then he said it was fake… 💀💀💀😢😢

[Greatglenfiddich]

Lmao love these edits and even more so is this awesome info you’re giving out. I’m dumb and stack all the time never even thought about it for the poor sealed boxes on the bottom. Time to rearrange! (And look at my collection again lol)

Thanks Pat!
