 What's up guys, takedowns back with another video. Today's video is simple. Why I got into collecting the things that I collect. So this is pretty basic, pretty short video in my opinion. Probably going to be shorter than I think. Basically I'm going to be talking about collecting. So why did I get into collecting? Quite simple. I enjoy the things I collect. I was collecting coins for years because my dad gave me some of my grandfather's coins, old coins. So I've always started collecting every year because I live in Canada. There's always new collectible coins out, different designs, different anniversaries for different things like war and different monuments and such like that. So I've always been collecting for years coins. I have a pretty big coin collection. I wish to display it soon. I just have to get stuff to display it. But then I transitioned into comic books kind of the 11th and 12th grade. I bought some from a friend at school, sold them all, made a little bit of profit, not much. And then after high school I purchased 500 from a guy, sold them. I made close to $300 profit and I've kept one whole box. So that's close to $200 give or take. And I've been sharing them on the channel and videos showing my comic book collections. They've been doing pretty good, decent, not too bad. The other thing I started collecting kind of this past year started in actually started in the 2017-2018 Tim Horton's cards whenever they came out, hockey cards. I started collecting them and then that shouldn't just transition into the upper deck cards, the OPH key, buying them, buying blaster boxes, buying the big mega boxes. This year I spent quite a bit on hockey cards, but I've had quite a few in return and I'm going to sell a lot of my doubles, a lot of the ones I don't want and keep all the ones I do enjoy. So I'll probably make at least half maybe three-quarters of my money back because I do have some expensive ones. I do plan on keeping a lot of them, but I'll sell all my doubles. So I've been collecting that and showing that on my channel whenever I'm opening them. I know I've been butchering the names, but please bear with me because I'm not trying to. It's just I'm learning a new thing and it's collecting something new and I've always been a fan of hockey and always interested in hockey. I've always played the NHL games. I've always watched the Ottawa Senators for years, but I don't follow names of players. There's even some players on the Ottawa Senators. It's like I don't know the name, I don't pronounce it right and I understand that. It's frustrating to some people, but it is me. The other thing I collect is video games. I wish to get Nintendo Entertainment System this year and some of the old games I grew up on that I had in the house as a kid. That is one goal I wish to do, but I've collected WWE games specifically for the PS2, PS3 and then for my PS4 for the past almost 15 years, which is really cool. I know some people have a bigger collection than that for WWE, but I mean that's my biggest collection. I do plan on getting more geek stuff in the future. I did do a geek fuel unboxing recently and I really did like some of the stuff. Some of the stuff I didn't, but I plan on doing more of that in the future. It kind of depends on if it is of interest to me and I'm not going to spend a lot of money. I mean if it's not going to get the views and it's not something I enjoy, I'm not spending money on it. What else do I collect? I collect CDs. I love collecting CDs, music, bands that I love, even some that I don't, but I respect them and I respect them as an artist and I respect their album. Most of the music I collect I do love though. I did show that on the video. I did make my top 10 and in the top 10 video I did explain a little bit more of what I thought of each album and why I have it at which spot in top 10. That's a little bit better. My CD collection video, that's me just basically showing. I have this one. I have this one. I have this one and just naming them all off, which was a good video in my opinion. It did really well, but it was poorly executed. But now to answer the question, why do I collect and why do I show you guys? I show you guys because I want to connect with you guys more. I want to show you my collections. I want to relate with you guys more. If you guys are into anything that I collect, there's that connection so I can build a connection with my fans. The other reason why I collect, it's a hobby after high school that I really, really aggressively took on. I have the gaming which I aggressively take, took on. I have my collecting that I do now which I aggressively took on and I even do videos of course on my channel which I aggressively started taking on and it consumes most of my life. I enjoy doing it. That's why I collect. I know I'm almost done with hockey cards for the season. I do have some more on the way and I make all those videos in advance. I'll make a few videos and then I'll release them periodically or randomly. I don't release them all at once because I want content for a couple weeks, couple months. I enjoy showing you guys what I have. It's not like I'm going out and purchasing comic books just to show you guys. I just purchased the comic books for myself. I purchased the CDs for myself. I purchased hockey cards for myself but then I opened them in front of the camera. Everything I'm showing you guys, it's not like oh I bought it just to make a video. I bought it for myself because I enjoy collecting it and then now I'm just sharing it with you guys to see if you guys are interested in that and you guys have been for the most part. I do have some fans that will enjoy the hockey card series. I do have some fans that enjoy the comic book videos. I do have some fans that enjoy the music CDs I've been sharing. Just heads up. I do plan on doing music covers and other music stuff in the videos or in the future and sharing some of my old beats so stay tuned for that if you're interested in that. But that's kind of why I like showing you guys my collection. That's why I like collections. I feel it's a great hobby and I feel if you like something enough to start collecting only collect stuff that you like. Not just because it's everybody collects it. I mean that's not why I got into hockey cards. That's not why I got into comic books. That's not why I got into CDs or video games or coins. I really wish I could show you guys coins but I haven't really thought it out of how I can present it because it doesn't look good on a camera. But maybe in the future if you guys are interested. But I'll leave this video here. It was just a quick video on how and why I collect what I collect. So I'll leave this video here. Hope you guys did enjoy it. If you did please give it a thumbs up because it helps out more than you think especially with YouTube these days. Peace.
