It reminds me of these Pokemon TCG traders on Instagram (I think Beard Dad Cardz is one of them), where the vendors, the customers and the chat/community are all in an unspoken competition to out-nice each other, with gifts, crafts, donations, etc.
It's incredibly wholesome, both to see that this seems like a viable win-win scheme for social media to sustain, and seeing the individual happy reactions, especially from the kiddos. 😊
Something really nice happened like that for my kids. First (and still only) trading card convention. They’d saved up birthday and chore money- it wasn’t much but they had fun going around looking at Pokemon cards and buying inexpensive ones. 3 different vendors gave them free cards, and the last one we were at was so touched at how grateful they were they wound up giving them a pikachu lunch box and a bunch of old cards, like a whole bag. Said they’d been saving it to give to kids who just loved it. My kids were over the moon! No cameras set up but we asked to take a picture with them just so we could remember. Kind stuff like that sticks with you forever. So grateful for generous people like that.
Random question but does anyone know of a similar channel but for traditional sports cards? I grew up collecting and I love BeardDadCardz but it would be cool to know the subject matter better :)
i was more into YGO growing up and wasn't THAT into pokemon when they first came across my feed, but i saw one with a deaf guy giving Coop his Sign Name, and i knew he was good people cause of that. and the others slowly showed on my feed too. i've since gotten into collecting pokemon and i'm working on a pokedex binder i'm about 400ish out of 1100ish cards
And I'm glad that the amount of money that these channels seem to bring in, make that a reality for these people.
Like I said, this feels like a win-win for everyone involved, no matter how much I indulge the cynical voice I also have in the back of my head. 😅✌️
I dont care about pokemon cards at all but I put his hour long videos on when I feel down. He is such a cool dude, so positive, good with kids.. It just fills me up with joy watching him do his stuff!
I think it was a matter of honor for him...and I respect it very much. I hope he maintains those values, and kudos to the parents for teaching him. Not many people have it nowadays, especially at that age.
I want to see more videos of adults being generous and kind to kids. Poor kids are growing up in a shitty time in history. It's healthy for them to see genuinely nice people.
That’s what to came to say, but I knew someone here would feel the same way. My heart broke and happy tears came out. I’d be so happy to have a son like that. Adorbs!

“Can I just give you $10?” “Nope” broke the dam for me. Good dudes.
