After opening far too many packs of Vivid Voltage and pulling so many of the same cards, I realized I could piece together the master set by buying the remaining 70ish cards on TCG Player.

There is so much depth to those cards they are basically small pieces of art. So my goals is when i get some expendable money purchase one i have my eyes on. Learnt what they were worth too and always checking ebay for good deals.

Something else I've been saying a lot lately when I start catching that FOMO feeling is that there will ALWAYS be something else to collect. So if I don't have it in my budget, even if it seems like the best product in the world, I remind myself there's going to be another product, set or single that I will want to buy just as much in the future.

    Hey Jake i have started to collect some really beautiful Japanese full arts simply based on their beauty. I think that was a great tip in the past. I think the Japanese alternate art cards are absolutely stunning and often don't have an English counterpart. Unfortunately they are very expensive on eBay. I swear they have predetermined price negotiations amongst their sellers, because of very little price volatility and neatly no auctions, which is genius but frustrating as a buyer.

    Rejoined the Pokémon collecting community in February and decided to focus on collecting cards and merch for my all-time favorite Pokémon: Gengar. I also rip new sets and try for master sets (just completed Champion’s Path!) but Gengar is the focus. It feels good.

    I'm just collecting all steelix/trainers associated with steelix. My favorite card so far is my steelix from dream league. Hopefully soon I'll be able to grade that one because it honestly looks like at least a 9. It's so perfect. It will make my collection that much better
    P.s. I'm planing on getting a dream league sealed box soon so I can put in acrylic and keep it forever lol

    This is super handy :) I'm just getting started but I'll be honest, I'm not huge on opening packs, I really like just collecting the booster boxes, because for me, the thing I'm drawn to the most is the acrylic cases that people put their booster boxes in and displaying the cards. I love the booster box and elite trainer boxes artwork. I want to collect just those things. I'm sure I'd love if it I did open them but recently my sister got me a small box and I found myself just wanting to keep the box in the shrink wrap all nice for a display. I don't know what to do with the excess cards if I'm not playing them and I don't consider myself a trader/flipper so they just take up space. I just like the boxes, I think I'll just sit on keeping the booster boxes for display and maybe someday my niece can sell them if she wants to :)

    Love the video a lot of people don’t realize Japanese Pokémon cards are the originals not the English sets and 8/10 times the Japanese cards cut and look are superior

    i really love these tips, i think i just need to figure out how to sell my extras / bulk. the thing I enjoy most is pulling the cards i'm chasing myself, so it's a bit of an expensive hobby that way but to me the most fulfilling.

    I find it’s important to follow the Marie kondo (I think that’s her name) method. Ask yourself, does this really bring me joy? If so keep it if not sell it/give it away to someone who will love it.

    Collecting only Goldstar (especially japanese) and Amazing Rares. For me the coolest new set since a long time. Really hope they print some more amazing rares... but for now I got all of them PSA 10 and now I want some double 😍

      @@BNTHTH1 The PSA 10 Amazig Rares are all English, but I ve got the set multiple times ungraded in german, english and japanese.
      Goldstars are english, german and japanese as well. I ve got the english ones PSA 9-10 (all but treeko) and the german ones Rayquaza Beckett 9 and some others, but not all of them. Right now I try to complete the english Goldstar Set in PSA 10, but prices were too high last time I checked and right now I am all into amazing rares 🤗🤗

    This video is mostly viewed in a reseller pov if you're just a collecter that enjoys pokemon there is no reason to pay extra for japanese cards with those cards you would also not be able to play the tcg wich is also fun to play 👍

    I really took to heart your first suggestion and I think I would stick to Pokémon from the first 3 generations. I like watching Rusty open vintage packs, and I like full arts, so I would collect older Pokémon In their new full art form etc. Thanks, Jake!

    I think it’s to unrealistic at this time for me to collect anything substantial such as gold cards, or high value holos, so I am just collecting everything. I’m still learning everything about cards right now. Like which cards came from certain decks and such. I’m also still trying to pull my first rainbow.
