Our first card collecting event was a blast, and while my son and I don't need another hobby to bond over (ask my wife) we did have a great time. While in attendance, we were gifted a ton of cards, and there was nothing more exciting than racing home to analyze our spoils. Unboxing some good ones didn't hurt either!
I've got to admit though, cards can be a little overwhelming, especially for a newbie like me. I couldn't navigate these waters alone. I mean, my kid is here, but he's six, and he's already moved onto his toy trains again. I needed advice and I needed it fast. Enter Uncle Dave, Pokémon's #1 English Card Collector!
What cards should I be looking for? How do you organize them? How do you display your favorites? David Persin, or Uncle Dave as the fans call him, was my saving grace. As far as card collecting, this guy has the best information. Persin has been through it all, and his story is as relatable as it is fascinating.
So if you're like me and not sure where to begin, do what I did and give Persin's YouTube channel. I mean, Logan Paul contacted the guy about cards, and if you've got one of the biggest social media stars reaching out to talk shop, you might be doing something right. See for yourself when Persin makes his first convention appearance at the Fort Worth Convention Center!
Join me, David Persin, Jason Paige, and all of the special guests on November 6th and 7th for Pro Support TCG Weekend! Get your tickets HERE!
