Here's a true day-by-day look into how I balance a ~$120K USD revenue-per-year Pokemon side hustle while working a demanding 9-5. Join me as I price out cards, identify cards to grade, spend thousands, all leading up to a card show where I sell thousands more.

✅ WALKING: March 1-2 (Sat, Sun) - Collect-a-Con Los Angeles - Los Angeles, CA
✅ VENDING: March 15 (Sat) - Collectible Market @ Blackhawk Plaza - Blackhawk/Danville, CA
