One of the nicest guys on YouTube and within the Pokémon TCG community is Leonhart. He’s got around 1.58 million subscribers, so you might have watched at least one of his videos if you are into the trading card game.

He’s an individual who loves to give back to the community that’s given him so much over the years, and he’s also a very charitable person – helping raise awareness about all sorts of causes. This weekend though, he’s taking it to the next level, with his “90s pop up shop” – stocked by his very own vintage collection of Pokémon cards, valued at over $500,000.

“I’m so nervous and hope it goes well, however, my dream was to give the World a chance to open vintage packs, but not have to pay crazy prices for them; this will truly be the craziest event in Pokemon history!!!”

While it does cost to attend this event located in Dallas, Texas (note: tickets have already sold out), trainers in attendance – or at least the ones who got in early enough – will score vintage Pokémon card packs to open on a live stream. There’ll also be some special guests – including “other creators” and even the original voice of Ash Ketchum:

We’ll let Leonhart explain more in the video below. There’s also an FAQ over on the official event page.
