How to Become a Pokémon Vendor in 2026 (Full Guide)

Описание: Hello everyone, in this video I am going to go over a guide of everything you need to become a Pokemon Vendor in 2026. If you are planning on vending at a Pokemon Card Show for the first time & you don't know where to start I hope this video can provide you with everything you need to have a successful time vending. When I first vended I wished there was a video like this so I could prepare better for my shows, I learned the hard way on how to vend, with doing multiple shows and learned new things each show. Hopefully this video can help you prepare to become a Pokemon Vendor and skip the trial and error part. I’ve learned a lot in a short period of time & I really hope you can learn something from this that benefits your Pokemon Vending journey. I have time stamps below of everything in the video along with a list of the most important things. Feel free to add something in the comments if it could help out vendors in any way.
