Timothy “Goatbreakers<\/a>” Flick is a Kansas City-based TCG content creator and collector. In addition to having built his enormous collection since childhood, he also has a thriving presence on social media with growing followings on Instagram, TikTok<\/a>, and YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spoke to him to get the full story behind it all and more\u2014including a pick that might end up surprising some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could you introduce yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Timothy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My name is Tim!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get into TCG collection?<\/strong>

I started collecting cards as far back as I can remember. Sports cards and Pok\u00e9mon cards were my biggest hobbies growing up. I still have thousands of cards from my childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it about TCG collection that keeps you coming back for more?<\/strong>

The hobby is something that will always be a part of my life, regardless of the state of the market. I\u2019ve made some of my closest friends through this hobby, whether it\u2019s content creation or events like Collect-A-Con.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you speak about your experiences with TCG products on the SNKRDUNK app?<\/strong>

It\u2019s very easy to find what I want, and I love the price charting data, so I know how to find a fair price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you regard as the primary advantages of purchasing TCG products via an online store such as that of the SNKRDUNK app?<\/strong>

Transparency of price is vital in a volatile industry; it\u2019s easy to get taken advantage of, and this helps me know I\u2019m getting the best deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your time as a TCG collector, what has been your greatest experience?<\/strong>

The best experience has been connecting with others who genuinely love the hobby and discovering that every collection is unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any favorite cards that you either own or are pursuing? If yes, which ones?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dark Charmeleon from Team Rocket was the first card that made me want to collect. Growing up, I was always fascinated by art, and that card specifically opened up the world of collecting to me versus just playing and trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently completed a PSA 1-10 set of the first edition Dark Charmeleon, and my goal is to have a PSA 10 of every Charmeleon card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Pok\u00e9mon TCG sets do you rate most highly?<\/strong>

I\u2019d go with the Team Rocket and Neo sets because that\u2019s what I grew up on. Nostalgia bias wins it for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On your Instagram page, we saw that you collect ONE PIECE Card Game cards too. What\u2019s your take on BANDAI\u2019s decision to start releasing sets simultaneously around the world starting from next year?<\/strong>

Personally, I care more about accessibility and the longevity of the hobby rather than the immediate value. In the long term, it feels like a good thing for both players and collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you talk to us about your experiences at Collect-a-Con?<\/strong>

Collect-a-Con has been one of the most impactful experiences of my life. From developing lifelong friendships to expanding my content into the film, anime, and TV space, this event has become incredibly influential for me and so many others, whether they\u2019re collectors, players, or content creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how about your content creation journey? How did that start, and what keeps it going today?<\/strong>

Back in 2019, I was burnt out and overworked in my current job and needed a way to find more joy in my life. So, I decided to go back to what I loved as a kid. I went viral mispronouncing a Pok\u00e9mon name and used my corporate skills to understand how to be successful in content creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What keeps it going is the community that has stayed with me and enjoyed my content even as I\u2019ve expanded into film and TV. People keep coming back to hear what I have to say, which still blows my mind every time I post a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s bring together two of the main topics from your Instagram page. We noticed that you\u2019ve made lots of movie-related posts. With that in mind, what\u2019s your favorite Pok\u00e9mon movie ever and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Goatbreakers<\/figure>\n\n\n\n



Pok\u00e9mon: The First Movie will always be a classic, and it\u2019s my favorite because it\u2019s what I loved as a kid. And yes, I cried at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can we have a final message for your social media followers?<\/strong>

I\u2019m dumbfounded that anyone cares what I have to say, and I\u2019m beyond grateful that this is what I get to do. Anyone who engages with one of my videos means more to me than they will ever know. If no one cared about my content, I wouldn\u2019t get to do what I love for a living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
