@PokéTownsin 😅 Ah man, I missed my own shoutout! Well if you've got any more of the Holo Blastoise 👀 Appreciate the offer! Might have to take you up on it 💜
They are! I wish I had more of them but most are quite expensive to get these days! Ah latias buddies, I did a bit of googling and is it when it has the gold writing it means it’s the reverse? Glad mine looks real, thank you for confirming it!
I found my childhood collection back in 2021. Kid me had a sick collection. I’ve been collecting again since I’ve found my collection. I do it my own way though. No sets, that’s boring. I chase WOTC holos STRICTLY. I don’t collect for monetary value. Do I have a good amount of cards worth a few hundred each, sure. But I don’t control that. I collect because I truly love the art and the vintage cards. It’s all about nostalgia. If there’s a high dollar card I’m after, I’ll wait and save for a while and grab it. It feels like I accomplished something. My cards hold memories and that’s why they are important to me. Pokémon is LIFE ❤
I have a favorite card artist, Shinji Kanda, and I thought it would be fun to start a binder collection of every card they illustrated for the pokemon tcg. They have a very distinct art style that I find really enjoyable. =)
@@EMShelley that’s amazing! If you find out I’d love to know so I can check them out! I really like shinji kandas work, the Paldea evolved magikarp is one of my favourites!
@@PokéTownsin lol that's the one! Shinji Kanda. Love their work! Don't know if I have a favorite card of theirs yet, but just bought some singles and their Slowbro from the Scarlet and Violet set is gorgeous!
Pulled the Pikachu EX from my first SS box - would honestly rather have the Milotic. Edit: Loving your collection. I feel like we've got really similar taste in card art.
Yeah me too, pikachu has hype because well.. pikachu 😅 milotic, ceruledge and skarmory were the ones I really wanted from SS! Thank you, glad you enjoyed and appreciate the support!
Exactly, have patience, make more money and wait to get that next card you have your eye on. People need to stop feeling like they are in a rush. Put down all social media and just collect peacefully and slowly. It feels great when you attain a card you’ve been after for a while.
The fomo is strong and it can be hard to avoid. Slow burn is the way unless you've got absurd cash to spend, or are a professional seller. Collect over time.
Yeah, it kept pulling me back into ripping packs. I think you’ve got to get burnt like I did from pack ripping to really slow down 😅 luckily I’m a bit wiser to it now 👍🏼
The Latias is a reverse holo and has the gold letters because it’s a holo rare. I’m actually looking for a clean version of the regular holo for my delta species collection lol
100% is a slippery slope. I’ve found myself just picking up cards I like the artwork of now after flicking through set lists, definitely more cost efficient than trying to pack them! Don’t get me wrong, opening packs is a really fun way to collect but for a small timer it all adds up and you end up missing out on holidays! 😂
It's definitely not about the money. I don't consider myself a collector, I appreciate the nostalgia and some of the cards look sick. My collection is mostly celebrations set because they're cheap as hell and remind me of my childhood. My fav card is the entei promo reverse holo you got from the movie.
It’s definitely artwork and nostalgia over rarity for me. I’ve also just googled and reminded myself of that entei promo card, it’s so beautiful I might just have to pick one up! Do you own one?
Ive got a handful or more top chase cards from different sets. But honestly my crown zenith collection is my absolute favorite. Its the set that got me back into Pokemon. And just brought back that nostalgia for me. But i also love Charizard so i try to collect sets that have him in it as well like PF, BS, OF etc. im 40 yrs old so Gen 1 is definitely my nostalgia Pokemon
Gen 1-3 is what I resonate with most as I believe the base set unlimited were still available when I got into it so gen 1 hype was still there for me. Crown zenith is such an amazing set, if I were to open packs strictly hunting chases it would be zenith for sure! What’s your favourite card you have?
@@PokéTownsin oh man I don't know Price wise I'd say Paldea Evolved Magikarp and Paldean Fates Charizard SIR Favorite card nostalgia wise my original base set Dragonair #018/102 Favorite Artwork Mewtwo VStar CZ Own all of them
@ your collection is the real deal, some serious collecting! that magikarp is one of my favourites I don’t own yet, need to get in before it goes super crazy 😅
@@PokéTownsin I've got a few other bangers some are here on my YT channel others are posted on my TikTok. I still have to make vids for the Magikarp and stuff I've just been busy
@@ItZBIGHAM Nice man, I'll check those out! You've gained a sub for the mega collection! You should do a grading submission vid with all these bangers!
cheers and thank you for the video, happy collecting!!
@@johannes_floehr my absolute pleasure to share my journey, thanks johannes!
Loving the vintage cards in your collection. Some great ones in there! Plus the sealed pack 😍
Check 09:20 mate! I may have some goodies..
@PokéTownsin 😅 Ah man, I missed my own shoutout! Well if you've got any more of the Holo Blastoise 👀 Appreciate the offer! Might have to take you up on it 💜
Unfortunately my holos are 1 of 1 in my collection 🤣 I probably have all the ones you’ve got 🥲
Those EX team rocket cards are awesome!! I have that Latias card without the stamp. Your card looks real 👊🏻

This seems like a problem if you don’t have enough money. Just make more money is the solution.
Easier said than done! 😂

I want to get back into the hobby but I’m gonna just do my own collection my way and avoid opening random packs because that’s a slippery slope!

Own all of them

id honestly rather shiny hunt in the games than spend money like this for one Charizard.
I think that is definitely the wiser move 😅
You must thank yourself when u were in the honeymoon phase because im sure all the cards you bought are up in price.
I do love previous me but wouldn’t recommend splurging all in one go like I did 😬
👍👍
🫰😅
Or just learn how to play the game and use the cards the way they were meant to be used
Very nice collection so far
