TimTheTatman has recently been opening packs of Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> cards on stream. But despite opening countless cards, he didn\u2019t have much luck pulling any value\u2014until today.<\/p>
After opening up 125 packs of cards from the Hidden Fates<\/em> expansion, Tim managed to cop the set\u2019s most valuable card, a Shiny Holo Rare Charizard GX, with more than 20,000 viewers watching him. The card is valued at around $200 on TCGplayer.com, a secondary market website for trading cards.\u00a0<\/p>

After numerous disappointments, opening the best card in the set left Tim speechless at first. But once the reality of it all sunk in, he didn’t hold back in celebration. <\/p>
Opening trading cards on stream is a new move for Tim. But in the past month, he\u2019s spent about three hours doing so and he\u2019s averaged more viewers in the Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> Trading Card Game<\/em> category on Twitch than he has while playing any other game.\u00a0<\/p>
Prior to today, his 26,296 average CCV while opening packs of cards was notably higher than his viewership for Fortnite<\/em>, Overwatch<\/em>, or CS:GO<\/em>, according to Stream Hatchet data<\/a>. While playing Fortnite<\/em>, the streamer has averaged 18,176 viewers this month over about 67 hours of airtime, netting him 1.2 million hours watched.\u00a0Meanwhile, Overwatch<\/em> helped him rack up 254,678 hours watched with an average of 14,693 viewers. <\/p>
Unfortunately for Tim, he hasn\u2019t had more packs to open. With just under three hours of airtime opening cards, he\u2019s recorded 65,740 hours watched in the category.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
