hobbies
I am an avid card game fan. I grew up collecting, trading and selling Pokémon cards with my friends and strangers alike. More recently I have become infatuated with the One Piece Card Game which I regularly collect, sell, and post on social media about. My recently started youtube channel may be small now, but I am eager to see where it can go! I love watching the card market expand and collapse and use future release information as well as recent tournament rankings to help make decisions on when to buy or sell.
