One really important pointer I have is please just stick to official product. Do not buy “mystery packs” or “mystery slabs” from these third party companies. At the end of the day, nothing you pull will ever be to your benefit as these companies are there to make MONEY. Buy etbs, boxes, promos, any official product. Don’t fall into the trap and happy hunting

It really depends on who you buy from. Those seen at retail stores are absolute garbage and no one should spend a dime on them. However, the last mystery pack I bought was from Danny with his phanny packs and I got a shiny holo rare Charizard GX from Hidden Fates!!

@NexisAlexis 4 ай бұрын

@@realbillymiller1011 I've actually been opening pack since mid pandemic 😅 and I'm comparing whole generations, not just individual sets. With scarlet and violet era you can find every set out on shelves, that provide amazing hits rates! Yes the later sets from the sword and shield era are still available and provide great hits rates. But with them being in a completely separate generation, you would get the feeling of missing out (i.e. FOMO) on the mid through earlier sets. Which most of those sets are not easily accessible and/or completely out of their price range.

Thank you for this video, I just got back into collecting because of 151. Have already made some great memories because of the community. Pulled the charizard yesterday and helped a little boy start his own 151 binder collection with all the bulk. To those starting out the lingo and all the different rarity levels can be overwhelming.

Just dusted off my childhood collection (about 500ish, mostly cards from '06-'09) and I had so much fun sorting them all again! I've been slowly adding them to a deck tracker. I picked up a binder and added in all my favourites since they've been in a box for a decade or so. I fully intend to collect one of every pokemon, but I'll need way more storage space lol.

@ARPelayre 4 ай бұрын

I started collected this month after buying the 151 etb for myself as a Christmas present just to "dip my toes back in" as I used to collect when the original base set was released. After not following Pokemon cards for 20 years, I have to say that as a beginner collector, right off the bat it feels good getting multiple cards with a foil/holo attribute to them in every booster pack! But it certainly feels even better when one of them happens to be a full art card! I'm definitely loving how much the cards have evolved since the last time I handled them, and I'm excited to see where this new hobby goes! Thanks for all the great videos, they're incredibly informative!

As someone who's gotten more into the hobby since 2020, I've definitely accumulated a pretty decent amount of cards. And I'm very happy with what I had the priveledge to add to my collection.😊 Speaking of amazing cards, I opened more Crown Zenith today. My local Walmart had one more booster bundle in stock and it was absolutely stacked! I pulled 2 more chase cards, which now means I'm only 4 more cards away from completing the set! For anyone out there new to the hobby I definitely suggest Crown Zenith if you want to get spoiled with pulls!

I bought my first ETB back in December just to rip some packs open and forward to 3 weeks ago i got myself a binder and sleeves and start collecting 151 set my only problem is 151 is not popular where i live and expensive so it will be abit hard to complete the set but so far so much fun and satisfying experience cant wait to complete my whole 207 cards 😍

@2girls_1up 4 ай бұрын

Totally agree! ETBs are the easiest way to start collecting. Not only do you get a promo but you also get additional goodies with it and the packs. Their price tag is also not that high compared to booster boxes, so it's overall a good "keep it sealed" item as well 🎉

That Blastoise EX edition and trainer Nessa helped me beat one of the most difficult electric decks I have ever had the privilege to play against. That Blastoise is like my baby in my water deck. Not unbearable but have at least three cards to get him back and a less strong Lumineon V to buy me time and a Cryoganol to build up energy in my water. That Blastoise EX though -- sent my water deck to a different level :').

I have 117 out of 165 cards with those two boxes, which is pretty nice. Let say I were to collect all the cards, including the ultra rare cards and every single card, that is common, reverse holo and holo for each card. Would that be worth a lot?

a while ago my dad gave me all of his old pokemon card collection of a full first edition base set, full fossil and jungle set along with some good rocket cards. Do you know what the best way to preserve them is? The whole of the sets are in the original binders with the fossil set being quite bent from bad keeping but the base set are in near mint condition. I guess my main questions are is there a way to safely flatten down the bent cards and is it worth going through and hard sleeving every card and/or getting them PSA graded? Thanks in advance!

For anyone starting out again: this is definitely not average pull rates. Opened 38 boosters with a friend the other day, got the same number of "valuable cards" as in this video... It's still fun when you get one, but just keep in mind that most boosters you'll be disappointed and you won't even notice cards that are not holo (like the guy in the video).

Do you have a video on the type of cards that exists? I don't even know what to search for or call it... I've collected Magic The gathering, but never pokemon since 2002 or so, and a lot of the terminology is lost on me. Holo, reverse holo, ex, stars, so on. It'd be nice to learn what I'm looking at when/if I start up on Pokemon. It feels like there's 10+ different ways 1 card can be printed. If you haven't made a video on it, if you have a bunch of Charizards, that might be a way to show alternate art or however it may be printed. I don't know. It feels very overwhelming. Great day to you!
