SINGAPORE — As he gets ready for another long day at work, Mr Roman Aymond boots up his computer, turns on his cameras and prepares his stock of Pokemon card booster packs before his virtual customers come streaming in.
The 29-year-old is a full-time streamer whose content revolves around him interacting with his audience while opening Pokemon card booster packs that viewers purchase online.
Each booster pack generally contains 10 random game cards of varying rarities, drawn from a particular set of cards depending on that booster pack’s theme.Players often buy booster packs in hopes of obtaining a card of high monetary or sentimental value, also often referred to as “chase” cards. Eventually, Mr Aymond’s content started garnering more views, and he was approached by collectibles company Skylightz Collectibles to join its team as a full-time streamer on a separate streaming site, Twitch.
“I try to research on the trends, on which chase card prices are going up, and try to procure booster packs from that particular set for the viewers,” she said. The firm assists customers by sending their cards to internationally recognised card grading companies for professional appraisals.
