Vending $20,000 in Pokémon Cards at Hawaii Pop Con 2026 | Meeting Arita & Rare Cards!

Welcome to Hawaii Pop Con 2026, where I brought $20,000 worth of Pokémon cards to one of the most expensive shows I’ve ever done! In this video, you’ll get an inside look at the life of a Pokémon card vendor, from setting up my booth to interacting with fans and fellow collectors.

I got the once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet Arita, the illastrator behind Pokémon, and get my cards signed — a moment every Pokémon fan dreams of! Along the way, I explore the convention floor, see some of the rarest and most collectible Pokémon cards, and share the ups and downs of vending at a show that could easily make or lose money.

Beyond the booth, we also experience the amazing side of Hawaii Pop Con, including local food, sightseeing, and hanging out with friends. Whether you’re a long-time Pokémon card collector, a vendor yourself, or just love POV convention videos, this video gives a behind-the-scenes look at the high stakes, fun, and excitement of Pokémon shows.
