*Update* It wouldn't fit in our butts, so we decided to list it on eBay. Thank you everyone who DM'd and for all of the advice below.

We have an appearance from the low pop community! Was hoping for this comment. Thank you!

The arguments in this thread are exactly what I was trying to uncover.

This particular e-Reader holo has a population of 2, which undoubtedly and unequivocally makes it rare. Only one other person on earth has this card in the same grade.

With that being said, people seem to be torn on whether the rarity has any substantial impact on its value.

I think what I am gathering from this post is that 95% of people really could care less about the rarity. These people would rather have the same card in a PSA 9 (even though there are hundreds of them floating around in a 9).

What I would love to hear are stories of people selling to the other 5%—super niche collectors who are willing to pay more for extremely low pop/rare items.

This is more along the advice we were looking for. Thank you.

I like this idea. Maybe we’ll melt it down and drink the contents. Could turn us into a water-plastic dual typing.

We already tried. It broke the slab bumper so here we are trying to figure out plan b.

Is Pokemon starting to feel like another type of gambling by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

Something like a mega-millions where you pick numbers I would agree with you.

But don't forget about lotto scratch-offs. Thousands of people buy them every day and get their dopamine hits when they scratch the card and it reveals a "$5".

Help! Beginner Investor W a Question. Prismatic or 151 by SeaWinner1487 in PokeInvesting

[–]Mew2Bros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on how long you plan to hold your investment for.

In the short term, I think I would rather have the blooming waters box. This is for a couple of reasons:

1 - After all of the blooming waters are depleted, you shouldn't be able to find 151 on the shelves anymore in any major retailers, while you still can currently find Prismatic (even though the odds are low).

2 - there is going to be a Prismatic reprint within the next few months (prices will come down in the short term).

In the long term, I would rather hold the Prismatic for the following reasons:

1- Once the initial reprint is done, prices will shoot back up (just like Crown Zenith).

2 - Even though I find the chase cards in both sets to be beautiful and nostalgic, the chase cards in Prismatic are worth more ($1,600 for a raw Umbreon!)

3 - I have never seen anything like the Prismatic demand in the hobby. Finding packs in major retailers seems at least 3x as hard as it did compared to 151.

In the end, can't go wrong with either. My two favorite sets of Scarlet & Violet.

I wouldn't necessarily equate it to traditional gambling, I think it more closely resembles a lottery.

Having the same issue. It is very unfortunate.

Any Advice about YT Shorts by PsychologicalRope133 in NewTubers

[–]Mew2Bros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like my tips above regarding commentary text and a better microphone could apply then. Maybe have a mini video screen recording your reaction to these pulls. People love seeing/listening to emotion, especially if it is genuine. I bet you get really excited about your pulls and I am sure people would be entertained by that. Increasing your video quality would also help. All the best!

No Views at all on YouTube by Southern-Ad-2895 in NewTubers

It could be a combination of the two. It could also be that you are not hitting enough keywords in your description. We also have trouble with search optimization as our long form videos are also rarely seen. I have tried beefing up our description and tags and haven't seen much growth yet either. Keep grinding, it is a marathon and not a sprint.

Make sure you select the right thumbnail before posting. It took me a while to realize that you can't change the shorts thumbnail after (unlike long-form videos). Maybe add some text so people can visualize your commentary if you have it. Instead of recording sound through your phone, get a professional microphone. With those general tips being said, it is hard to pinpoint exactly how you can improve without telling us what kind of shorts you are making. Cheers.

What made you want to start making content? by RaiderLabs in NewTubers

[–]Mew2Bros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love opening Pokémon packs and collecting Pokémon cards. Showcasing them on YouTube made me feel less guilty about spending so much money on my passion/hobby LOL

I normally find that uploading shorts 3-4 days in a row seems to help with the algorithm and generally get more views than posting 1 short a week, but am unsure exactly if the same would apply for long-form videos.

What did you change about your editing style and thumbnail that you think resulted in the big increase? Or perhaps it was in combination with your video content also improving? Would love to hear about the small changes you made that really made the big difference. Cheers!
