I Started a YouTube Channel Talking About Cards Check It Out
 

Hey everyone,

Well after being out of the hobby for 14 years, all the effects of 2020 and coming to the conclusion that I was always happiest when I was doing what I love, I have decided to start my own YouTube channel talking about collecting cards. I need a way to connect again and I love talking about cards. So I decided to put myself out there and see what comes of it all.

I have spoken to Leon about this post and he has approved, thanks, Leon!

I would love to hear your feedback and if you guys have any ideas I would love to hear them. So thanks for checking it out and I look forward to connecting again.

Thanks,
Trevor Hocking

I'm starting a drinking game every time you say "nice little lot" or "sweet little group." I watched the two of your "how I break down a collection" videos and felt you don't really explain your thought process as to why you're listing them on ebay; felt like more of an infomercial to send people to your Ebay store after 30 minutes.

I might watch in the future, maybe buy a collection on craigslist and actually go through it, rather than just hand-waving the actual process.

Thank you for your time and the info! This is exactly what I am looking for. I really appreciate the feedback.

I am trying to find a formate that will be enjoyable for people to watch and is enjoyable for me to do. This is not about getting people to my eBay store. Its about talking cards and connecting. I have a tendency to go to what I know and that was been a dealer.

So again thanks for watching and taking the time to post a reply, it is very appreciated.

All the best,
Trevor

I enjoyed watching you break the 2020 Archives box tonight. Sucks that the autos were common though. I was lucky enough to pull a Steve Carlton out of a blaster box a few weeks back. I'll keep watching.

Hey Dan!

Thanks watching! It seems like the box breaks are the most popular so far. I will be doing one video a day so thanks for checking back.

Just trying to have some fun with cards again.

All the best,
Trevor

Me too. I’m attempting to put the 2020 Archives base set together. Amazing how poor the collation is on this set. There were some cards I have 4 or 5 copies of and I’m still short almost 100 cards for a 325 card set.

Trevor, been a while man! I enjoyed the videos and subscribed! Funny we must have been thinking along the same lines as I started a YouTube channel just a few weeks back, it really has been a lot of fun doing the videos. I also started a different channel for my 10 year old son where him and I open packs of Pokémon, as that is what he is currently into. I’d love it if you checked out my videos as well (see my signature below for a link). Good seeing you back on the forum!

Dan,

I found the opposite from the one hobby box of Archives I opened. I didn't get one dup at all, pretty crazy! I missing 148 from the base 325 card set. I will be buying one more box to see if I can get close. I will be doing a breakdown video after as well. I love the set it looks very cool in a binder :)

Thanks for watching! I will be opening 2020 Donruss Optics this weekend.

Hey Rhett long time indeed!

Good to connect again. Thanks for check out the channel. I will subscribe to yours today. For me this is what card collecting was always about, connecting with people, weather it was with the kids in the neighborhood, the people at the card shop, or my favorite, setting up at a card show. Now with what the world is dealing with today it seems to me the only way to connect is on the internet, so thats why I started my channel. Happy to hear you are doing the same! I also have my son helping he just doesn't want to be on the videos.

Thanks everyone for your input it is very appreciated.

All the best,
Trevor

Trevor, I totally agree!

I have a 10 year old son that does some modern openings with me as well (it is fun to connect w him that way) but he really likes being on camera. So much so that he made me make his own channel where he opens Pokémon packs, which is his REAL passion.
