what is going on fan clan welcome back
to the channel my name is danny phantom
and first of all i just want to start
out by saying thank you uh thank you so
much if this is your first time here
i really really do appreciate you
checking me out giving me a chance if
you like what i have to say
please consider hitting that subscribe
button down below it would really mean a
lot to me
uh giving this video a thumbs up sharing
it with your friends leaving a comment
i love reading the comments if you've
been here before and you keep coming
back to support me thank you so so much
i really do appreciate it you guys are
awesome and i love
being a part of this community you guys
are amazing so thank you
i want to talk to you guys tonight about
uh these guys these
uh code cards um because you get these
in
every single pack that you open and then
you get more of them in like
elite trainer boxes you get them in pin
collections you get them all over the
place and a lot of people don't even
know what these things are
so there is a software program for your
computer for your laptop
called pokemon trading cards online so
you can download this
ptcgo is the acronym and you can learn
how to play the actual game of pokemon
and this is what a lot of people do at
home they play uh they play the game on
on their computer they
they match up against either other
people who play around the world or they
play just head to head against
a computer simulation and what they do
is these code cards unlock a digital
booster pack for you so
if you've never played pokemon trading
card game online
i highly recommend downloading the
software especially if you're somebody
who's trying to learn the game
or if you're somebody who has a child
who is trying to learn the game it's a
really good resource it's a really great
tool
and these these code cards that you get
in your packs actually can be used
to redeem a full 11 card booster pack so
you can
type in the code that's on the back of
these code cards you go to ptcgo you
open up the application
and you just type in the the code that's
on the card and then you get an eleven
card booster pack it's really cool you
can use it
to you can trade these you can do
whatever you want with them on the
program
a lot of people use it to trade to try
and get new cards from new sets
and a lot of people just open them up
just to see what they get and start some
assembling decks
and you can use that a lot of players
use it for testing when they're getting
ready for regional events or
league cups or even bigger bigger things
a lot of pro players use ptc geo as kind
of like their outlet and their
their resource especially now because
there's not really any in-person
tournaments going on so
i would highly recommend checking that
out if you haven't already but if you're
somebody who just has no interest in
playing the game
i totally get it and i completely
understand there are way more collectors
out there than there are players
and it took me a while to understand
that but your code cards are actually
worth
money so a lot of people just take the
code cards and they throw them out
they put them in a box they do nothing
with them and that's just wasted money
so
i've talked to you before in a previous
video about vivid voltage and about
opening a box and let's say you got a
box of vivid voltage
that's just for for sake of numbers
let's say you bought a booster box of
vivid voltage for a hundred dollars
when the set first came out or a couple
days before the set first came out
vivid voltage code cards were selling
for 50 cents a piece
uh what that means is you get 36 code
cards in your booster box so if you paid
a hundred dollars for that booster box
and you just immediately sold the code
cards right away your booster box
actually only costed you eighty two
dollars
and an eighty two dollar booster box is
basically like getting a box at
wholesale so it's a really really good
deal
but where do you sell these codes how do
you sell them for 50 cents a piece
well there's various ways that you can
do it so first of all you can just join
facebook groups you can go on reddit
you can go on ebay you can just sell
your code cards that way there's people
always looking for them
there are groups specific on facebook
for buying code cards for people who are
interested in buying and purchasing code
cards
so you can definitely do it that way or
there's other websites out there much
like
bulk who actually do buy codes on a
daily basis all the time
my last business that i was with when i
was at dead jaw gaming before coming
over and starting the coliseum with papa
we bought code cards all the time every
day we would spend thousands of dollars
a week on code cards
it was one of our leading revenue
channels it was just a big big deal for
us
we partnered up with different twitch
streamers and we basically
advertised our code card sales since
they streamed on ptc geo all the time
it was easy just to give them a little
bit of a kickback and they would
generate traffic to our website just to
purchase codes
so that's one route that you can go
otherwise like i said ebay
vote ebay you can go to facebook you can
go to um
the websites that you can go to some of
the most popular ones there's an app
that you can download on your phone
called the codecatcher app i believe
that is put out by the awesome couple
shop
so you can just scan your code cards in
there's a qr code i'm just going to give
away this code right here
you can scan this qr code that's on the
back of the code
and then you scan that in and boom you
get paid for that code and it takes a
little it takes like a day usually to
process a payment
you can also go online to various
websites one of them is like guardian
gaming
i think one of them is called card
cavern but if you just go to google.com
and you just type in
uh where do i sell my ptcgo code cards
there'll be a whole slew of different
websites that you can go to
that will buy these code cards from you
now it is against pokemon policy
to sell actual codes after they've been
redeemed
so you want to make sure that these are
actual code physical code cards
you can still scan them and sell them
digitally but once you scan them into
ptcgo
they are yours you can no longer sell
them you can trade them within the
application
but let's say you have a
a jirachi gx that you want to sell for
five dollars if you go on ebay you'll
see what i'm talking about some people
sell digital cards
that is very very much against pokemon's
policy and that's a good way to get your
ptc
accounts shut down as well as getting
your ebay account shut down
so just sell the codes ahead of time
don't bother scanning men if you're
looking to
to sell your codes now i want to go back
to what i said before because you can
make a very lucrative amount of money
just selling ptcgo code cards i know
people i have friends
who literally this is what they do for a
living they sell
code cards and that's all that they
specialize in so just like what we do
when we buy bulk
you can buy bulk code cards and you can
turn around and sell them
this is one of those situations that
i've talked about in the past where you
would want to consider opening up your
own website
the market on code cards is a little bit
better right now because the ptcgo is a
little bit down
because a lot of people aren't aren't
playing as much the demand for playing
isn't as high because there's no
in-person events but that'll come back
especially starting at the beginning of
2021
when pokemon came out and they announced
hey we're gonna start looking at
restarting this pokemon this uh this
tournament structure once 2021 turn it
around so
you could go and you could get a simple
website like wix or shopify or something
like that and you could do an instant
delivery offering and basically what
that means is somebody can go to your
website
they can buy a ptc geo code card much
like this so this is champion's path
you're going to want to go around you're
going to want to look and find out what
the market value is for that ptc geo
code card
and you can list it on your website you
upload all these code cards
all these codes into the app that that
your website provides you with
and then it can be instantly delivered
to your customers so there's no shipping
you don't have to worry about any of
that
you do worry about the transaction fee
you do worry about the credit card fee
or the paypal fee or anything that goes
along associated with owning your own
website
but taking the shipping out of it is a
huge huge deal now you want to download
a couple other things like
a fraud labs and a couple other a couple
other programs that will help you
help prevent you help protect you from
getting scammed
but those costs are very minuscule in
the grand scheme of things as long as
you keep your codes
in stock and you're constantly buying
new codes they're fairly easy to turn
around if you want to scale it up even
further
you can partner up with different twitch
streamers or you can partner up with
youtubers
who play the game there's a lot of
people on youtube on this very website
who play the game competitively
and that's what they grow their youtube
presence on so people will tune in to
their youtube channel they'll watch
and then a lot of these youtubers are
partnered up with different stores
that all they do is they sell code cards
so if you're somebody who's like hey
i've got
thousands of code cards that are just
lying around and i want to start a
business that's not going to require a
ton of effort
maybe ptco code cards are some somewhere
that you want to kind of dabble in a
little bit because you can make posts on
facebook saying
um hey i'm buying these codes at this
price like i will pay
10 cents for your champions path i will
pay 25 cents for your vivid voltage
codes i will take any amount that you
want to sell me
and people start hitting you up they'll
scan in all the codes they'll email them
over to you and then you can process
payment
a lot of these companies will also offer
trading credits so you could stock
some product like some physical product
whether it be sealed product
or actual cards uh that you could then
that the buyer could then trade in
uh as as kind of a redemption kind of
like what people do with bulk the way it
is right now like you can sell your buck
to us you could trade in your buck to us
and we will give you a booster box or we
will give you a hidden fates tinder we
will give you
um something that we have listed on the
website right now
same thing with code cards and a lot of
websites do this so if you're somebody
who wants to kind of look at the market
a little bit
more in depth or you're somebody who's
got hey you know i started on tcg
players start on ebay but i want to take
this a little bit further i've got some
more time during the week i don't want
to scale too much because i don't want
to overwhelm myself with shipping
maybe these code cards are kind of the
outlet you want to get into because
the amount of work that goes into code
cards is really not that much
considering the fact that
all you're doing is constantly buying
what you're doing all the time anyways
if you're in my shoes owning uh owning
an actual storefront
or and then you're you're the rest of
your time comes from
scanning in code cards so if somebody
sells you a bunch of them and gives you
the physical codes it takes you a while
to scan them all in
but for the most part when somebody
sells you the codes they're scanning
them all in for you
so that legwork is just copying and
pasting in the app and then you want to
make sure that your prices are up to
date
and that's the amount of work that goes
through it uh there are some other
things that go into it later on
that are a little bit more intense but
the the time that it takes is kind of
minuscule so it's not
even worth talking about right now until
we get into a further
you know more in-depth conversation
about it but code cards are definitely
an opportunity out there to try and add
to your arsenal if you're looking at
expanding your business a little further
or starting a business and you don't
have a ton of time or a ton of inventory
but you do have a lot of codes
so definitely consider that that's
pretty much all that i have for you when
it comes to code cards if you have any
questions obviously feel free to leave
comments down below and i'll try and get
back to you guys thank you so much this
week we're going to go through champions
path packs a little bit because there's
been a lot of questions out there about
resealing
and i'm going to explain to you why
champions path packs are just
for the most part garbage um
unfortunately every set that we've had
released whether it be
the marny set the etb they're all
different uh the actual
packs themselves when you rip them open
the quality is terrible uh so we're to
go over those a little bit and then i do
want to open up one of every champions
path product that has come out so far
and then we'll sprinkle in some more
business vlogs as we go forward so guys
thank you so much
uh we will hit 19 000 subscribers i
think tomorrow
hopefully so thank you guys very much
for that uh you guys are awesome i
really really appreciate you
have a wonderful day thanks peace
