Hey, I'm Jon 👋
I started collecting Pokémon cards when I was 4 years old. Years later, I found my old vintage binder filled with Base Set, Fossil, Jungle, and Team Rocket cards — and fell in love with the hobby all over again.
When I got back in, I made every mistake a new collector can make: overpaying, buying damaged cards, wasting money on the wrong products. Now I document everything I learn on YouTube so you can skip those mistakes — and I built free training to get you started the right way.
I'm just a dude who collects Pokémon and plays Riftbound. No gatekeeping, no hype — just the honest version of this hobby.
- ✔ Everyday collector with a personal collection worth over $4,000
- ✔ Sold 1,500+ cards on Whatnot — over $4,500 in sales in one year
- ✔ Two YouTube channels covering Pokémon and Riftbound
- ✔ Holds a Doctorate in Physical Therapy — an analytical mindset applied to the hobby
