The Pokemon Circle of Influence Continues to Expand

Just thought you guys might want to check this out.

Pat McAfee, future NFL Hall of Famer and one of the biggest sports media faces talked about the Pokémon card market today on his podcast.
Pat McAfee Interview

It was full of inaccuracies, and at one point he referred to Pokémon as “Goku’s” but it was still really entertaining to hear him talk about Pokémon cards and his experience with fellow players playing PokemonGO during offseason.

The hobby continues to reach new people every day!

Edit: Someone in the comments section mentioned Gary’s Charizard flex on Pawn Stars

McAfee, isnt that the guy who made that trash antivirus, or am I thinking of another person. But anyways, if some guy like him is talking about it, Pokemon must be becoming pretty mainstream.

I dunno if he started a cult but he went off the deep end. Pretty sure he’s a tax exile in some banana republic. Surfaces every so often to spout crazy conspiracy theories.

Yeah Zito said he has a psa 8 1st edition zard, said he might sell for 20k, they brought up a listing for a psa10 for 12k and said Zito should sell his 8 for 20k as a steal.

It would definitely take one to create that garbage piece of software

Sounds great. I guess money really do change people.

There was a documentary about him which is pretty interesting to watch but I heard it was full of fake information. Like the documentary film maker paid prostitutes to tell fake stories about him. He is definitely an interesting person and has some interesting stuff to say. Checkout some of his interviews on youtube.

He is big on bitcoin and I’ve personally made a small fortune from bitcoin so you can say I am biased to like him haha. Money talks.

How does Lefkoe know Pat?

My goodness that was painful to get through. The sheer arrogant ignorance…

Lol I don’t mind the misinformation and lack of knowledge. I just like seeing new people talk about the hobby.

I understand, that’s cool. I just get really aggravated when people make definitive claims about stuff they don’t know anything about.
