Sind deine Pokémon-Karten ein Vermögen wert? Mit @TheZeroOfTime | BUY BETTER SWR

Can you not only play Pokémon cards, but also make money? But which Pokémon cards are actually worth something? Clara from BUY BETTER went to the Card Show Berlin to find out. Can you get rich with these cards? Are my old cards still worth anything at home in the attic? Or is it just a fleeting hype that will soon die down? We asked around at the convention to find out how fans there are experiencing the hype and spoke with streamer TheZeroOfTime. After the initial boom in the 2000s, Pokémon is everywhere again in 2025 – whether in drugstores, at supermarket checkouts, or online. But why are the cards in such high demand again? Why are streamers opening Pokémon card packs in their live streams, and what's the deal with individual cards fetching millions? 00:00 - 00:57 Intro - Booster Packs and Pokémon Cards 00:58 - 02:20 Pokémon TCG (Trading Card Game) 02:21 - 02:59 Other TCGs: “Magic: The Gathering” and “Yu-Gi-Oh!” 03:00 - 03:33 Pokémon in the 2000s 03:34 - 04:30 Pokémon, Disney, and More 04:31 - 05:25 Pokémon - Displays and Booster Packs 05:26 - 07:50 Why are some Pokémon cards so valuable? 07:51 - 11:12 Where did the Pokémon hype come from? 11:13 - 11:37 Experiences with Counterfeits 11:38 - 13:26 Pokémon Card Grading 13:27 - 15:15 Conclusion and Booster Opening -------------- This video is part of BUY BETTER, a format by SWR.
