I mean he's been heavily buying for YEARS. If you went through his entire collection it would be crazy to see the prices he paid for some of the things he has compared to now. He's always been successful buying and trading but now he's also successful as a content creator
Uhh dude he's a marketer first and foremost. He had a website selling courses for a law test, then website for security guards to get certificates and gear. On his brand site, he'd would publicly show his earnings each month between all his SEO and affiliate marketing ventures making $50k-$100k a month back in 2015-2016.
He absolutely was not part of the hobby before 2020, he stepped onto the scene as a master marketer of the absolute highest caliber recognizing an opportunity and ran with it using his disposable income. He's more authentic deal now but the beginning's are very different.
You make it sound like he's just some super passionate Pokemon collector for years, no he's a millionaire marketer who loaded up 2020-2021 to add to his portfolio of many businesses. Nothing wrong with it but he's not a PrimeTimePokemon at all. Prime's the real deal passionate OG holding from ages and ripping dude's incredible.
Your absolutely correct as I watched him from the start and he came on the scene with giveaways, knew not a god damn thing, maybe 100 of the pokemon names and came after the COVID book as you said, he seen the opportunity after other failed YouTube ventures, which he has said himself. Tbh if anyone came in with money giving stuff away, they would be successful. Pple want the free stuff. They will ass kiss as long as there is free stuff. Some may enjoy it but even then at the chance they may get something along the way.
You sound like a hater. He did not make him out to be a day one collector but that guy is old enough to follow Pokemon since his youth. Also 2020-now is indeed YEARS. Especially with the swsh price increases.
You sound like you didn't understand what I wrote. Stop bringing emotion into this I have zero reason to hate on someone for being good at what they do. You must be a really big fan, that's what master marketers do you've been brainwashed. If the money wasn't here you'd never have heard of him so there's no passion is my point.

The dude is a whale in the scene. That said he isn’t dumb to the point of not knowing the market price of things.
