Why Investing in Pokemon Cards is Probably Better than Stock Market Investing - w/ Special Guest Charlie from @dulcepokemon
In this episode, I sat down with Charlie again and we talked about my initial thoughts on WOTC card in 2019 and how 2020 proved me wrong. I was really happy to have Charlie on the show again because he's such a wealth of information. I owe a lot of my learning and knowledge to him and I appreciate his perspective and mindset - he's a real Pokemon OG.

Here are a few things we talked about:
- How COVID 19 unexpectedly helped the hobby
- Looking at historical niches
- Charlie's right: Pokemon is even safer to invest in than Amazon!
