How do people make money with Pokemon cards?

Oh, the world of Pokemon cards can be a goldmine if you play it right! The main way people make money is by selling rare or highly sought-after cards. Some collectors hunt for those elusive limited edition cards or ones in mint condition, ready to pay top dollar for them. Another way is by buying and selling cards or packs at a profit; think of it like trading stocks but way cooler because it's Pokemon. Lastly, some folks get skilled at competitive play, winning tournaments that have cash prizes or valuable cards.

Mine wasn't an overnight success, but here's my two cents: I made a decent chunk of change by carefully curating my collection, focusing on rare editions and keeping them in pristine condition. Networking with other collectors and staying informed about market trends really helped me know when to sell.
