$100 Budget Challenge - Starting a Collection from NothingI

In 2022 I'm going to challenge myself to start a brand new pokemon card collection from scratch while being on an ultra tight budget of just $100 a month! This is going to test my skills as a savvy shopper and scappy collector to put together an awesome collection.

It's interesting looking at this through the lens of a TCG player since I've slowed down as a collector chasing hits. Seeing pulls like Octillery, Galarian Weezing, Metal Saucer, Cinccino , Capture Energy, etc. are great since they're pretty important to building some decks. The gameplay element has made pack opening super fun for me.

Jake, I gotta thank you ! I just started my Pokémon collection this month (as an adult), and your channel really guided me through it ! I'm starting as an adult because as a kid we were too poor to afford Pokémon cards. Your channel perfectly walked me through all the products and prices and helped me find the absolute best value for my money. NO DOUBT best Pokémon channel on KZfaq. I love that your not a hype beast, and very professional. Thanks again Jake!

@caithsith 2 жыл бұрын

I like the idea of the video but also I think this is not the greatest aproach for a new collector, not taking even care at the holos, not enjoying the art of the commons... I mean, not everything needs to be about the return of the money in terms of hits and market value. If I have to recommend someone how to collect, Ill say: pick your favourite creatures, then enjoy the art, the cards, then... the rest it's secondary. But of course that's my point of view :).

@FluffehNexon 2 жыл бұрын

This isn't supposed to be a complete new collector expierience, we've seen many of these cards/packs opened before. Even when skipping the things you mentioned the video was already half an hour long. Many longtime viewers won't have the retention to sit for longer just to look at holos and commons imo. This series is for those with limited budget to see what they can expect from $100 in good deals with diverse and thrifty products, from there they can make a decision on what to buy (singles/packs/tins/bb/etc)

@vashthestampede3459 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with you. Problem is Jake is always thinking about the investment and financial returns. It's why he has videos about cards as investment and putting the price next to his "hits". This approach is teaching new comers to think about investments first and foremost which is pretty toxic.

@footballpicks1851 2 жыл бұрын

i totally agree i hate it when people disrespect holos, yes they don't really have monetary value but neither do most v cards, not everything in a collection is about how much something is worth. i have binders full of holos and i enjoy looking through those just as much as i love looking at my full arts and v max cards.

Especially in the spring/summer you should go to garage sales and try to spend part of this budget on lots and undervalued collections you can find there!

Great video Jake! A 100.00 budget is a pretty good investment amount; breaking it down to 25.00 per week (4wks/month), and about 3.57 per day. Skipping a cup of coffee/drink a day will easily cover this project. I am going to give this a try and use 120.00/month to cover the 13% sales tax (and/or shipping).
