JELI CARDS PODCAST

Jeli Cards

Welcome to the Jeli Cards Podcast! We are four best friends who grew up with a love and passion for collecting, especially Pokémon cards. We wanted to share our knowledge and experience when it comes to collecting and investing, but mainly we wanted a place where we could have fun, talk cards, and talk shop. We highlight all the major news headlines and scandals in the hobby, give in-depth market data on various card markets, and even have our Show & Tell segment where we showcase cards from our own personal collection. If you love the hobby and Pokémon cards, this is the podcast for you!
