Hi, my name is Harley! I’m a working professional 9-5 Monday through Friday, but my dream is to own and operate a licensed Pokémon eCommerce store.

Like many late-’90s babies, I started collecting Pokémon cards when I was a young child in the early 2000s. As many do, I foolishly gave away my collection when I got older. I never lost interest in the Pokémon franchise, though.

I kept playing the different Pokémon games. Whether that was through emulators on my phone, Pokémon Go, or on a console. Pokémon Go has especially been a big part of my life since the release in 2016 (my senior year of high school).

My love for collecting the TCG re-ignited in 2023, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve spent countless hours consuming Pokémon card related content, researching different aspects of collecting the TCG, and learning how to start a Pokémon  business.

This blog, and the free resources I plan to offer, are my small way of giving back. I plan to document the knowledge I’ve gathered and the experiences I have along the way.

I hope you follow me along my journey, but even more than that, I hope I am able to help you in some way.
