I would love to see a recap of what you have total and the total value compared to spending in the next video. I think it would also be cool to grade a card with a cgc or cheaper grading company.
Great video Jake, I used to find it very difficult to hold back on purchasing cards I want, but after finding sniping deals I’ve found it very rewarding to land a great card way under market.
These videos are such an inspiration while starting up my collection again. When I was a kid I had a binder full of holos and while being forced to move around my step grandparents gave it away while I was in the middle of moving, it was at least $1000 of cards especially since they were almost all within the first 5 years of pokemon. I'm going to start a budget collection just like this now that I have a little more money.
Entering the hobby, I spent so much money buying packs, ETBs, collection boxes etc and had very little to show for it. I've now grown into buying and bidding graded cards I want. I save loads of money and get what I want without messing about.
I remember purchasing complete base sets for $90 back in 2016. Finding and purchasing mint/gem mint base set zards for $40 - $70 bucks. 1st edition base set zards raw copies for $300 bucks. Those were the days!
Thanks Jake for another budget investment video. 👍 You can still complete your base set collection, including Charizard, and still be within your 100.00 budget per month. On your next month, keep your 100.00 allotment aside and wait for the following month to purchase your Charizard card. You will have 200.00 available funds and may have extra to get another base set card. This is what I do when buying stocks and mutual funds.
Since you started this series, Jake, I've become ASTUTELY aware of ONLY BUYING what I like, and that's Eevee cards! I find myself having A LOT of my budget untouched EVERY month, and that's a good thing, right? 😉 Thanks for the great TIPS and Pokémon content!!!
such a good pickup on that sylveon. it takes skill and a lot of attention to time things so well. I want to try!! My money is getting saved for the hisui sets rn though
I do enjoy the series. I don’t always agree with some of your decisions (like blowing half your budget on one card). I like seeing what kinds of deals you can find. I just think for a new or budget collector starting from scratch, I probably wouldn’t recommend spending so much on one card. Especially considering the price of that Sylveon will most likely continue to go down as more ES are reprinted. I’d be curious to see what other cards you could have gotten for that $46.
I remember the packs in these being varied when released. One tin I ordered from Pokemon Center on release had a Forbidden Light, while the other had a Celestial Storm
Yeah, they reprinted these tins with these updated packs...back when they came out, I ordered quite a few of them to stock up on Celestial Storm packs.
The sylveon vmax alt art is one of my favorite cards too. I was so lucky and happy that I pulled it and the espeon v out of my first box. I still want them all but at least i got my favorite
“You can’t pull anything out of this booster pack, the most expensive card is only 20 - 30 dollars” Gold Zacian and Zamazenta, full art Marnie, secret rare Snorelax Vmax
Man those were some nice pick ups. I finally found some stuff at walmart they had the tins with slowbro and mew in them. Picked up two from the vivid voltage set I got a gold Hero's Medal which is pretty cool I think to snag one out of a tin. I also noticed they had xy booster packs of crimson invasion in them. Are those worth trying to keep the boosters sealed and as a an artwork set if I can pick up the other two packs?
Thank you for the great videos Jake. I’m wondering, I want to collect Lugia cards. Where should I look and are there any cards in particular that you would recommend is a good deal?
With $100 I can buy the raw/graded cards I actually want. Ripping packs is fun. BUT it’s a total gamble and unless you can buy a mountain of them it’s not going to get you the cards you want.
The other day I picked up a Darkness Ablaze, Vivid Voltage, Shining Fates, and Fusion Strike bundle for $40 each + shipping. I think it was a decent deal considering I haven't opened 3 of those etbs or seen them in stores near me.
what are your thoughts on a base set psa 1 graded collection, I thought it would actually be a hilarious piece and at the same time is technically rare because psa rejects grading half point cards so it has to literally be right on the money the worst (gradeable) rating on a card
For me this kind of prices are so fkn weird XD here in europe i cant find even an under 40€ copy for that umbreon but sylveon vmax can be found at 70€ so i dont imderstand it at all hahahahaha
Pre order 2 astral radiance pokemon center exclusive etbs. Those things always go up in value. But lf we not holding for a while. You could open and sell the big sellers. But holding as you know is best
I gotta start implementing the $100 monthly budget for sure 😅🤣 thanks for the tips bro!
I really love this series! Really helps me decide what’s worth it and how to get things I want without breaking the bank. Thanks!

2:50 Wow that is my favorite card of ES love that card

We’re nearing 2 months without a new update :( Hopefully you start this again soon

Plot twist: the lost footage was an amazing pull and Jake kept it for himself
Where’s the next one??
Great video Jake! There’s plenty of great products/cards you can add to your collection with 100$ ! 🙏🏼🔥
These are my favorite videos you do. Love these! ❤️
Those tins are hot doodoo. This clearly shows why they are heavily discounted and even then people are staying away from them.
Literally the best series! Especially for me as a broke ass college student haha
Will you continue with this ?

I absolutely love that sylveon card. My friend has it in Japanese but refused to sell it to me lol
Seeing this 2 years later, it's very entertaining to listen to your opinions about the 'moonbreon' card. ES is definitely an anomaly.
Since you started this series,
Jake, I've become ASTUTELY
aware of ONLY BUYING what
I like, and that's Eevee cards!
I find myself having A LOT of
my budget untouched EVERY
month, and that's a good thing,
right? 😉 Thanks for the great
TIPS and Pokémon content!!!
I’ve been buying the charizard from the ultra premium collection.
such a good pickup on that sylveon. it takes skill and a lot of attention to time things so well. I want to try!! My money is getting saved for the hisui sets rn though
I recently bought a battles styles for the hell of it and picked up the Gold Houndoom Shiny
Best series on TH-cam for sure!!

Keep this videos coming! :D
Dang that Umbreon and Sylveon pick up were awesome steals.
I remember the packs in these being varied when released. One tin I ordered from Pokemon Center on release had a Forbidden Light, while the other had a Celestial Storm
That was either an error tin (which is highly unlikely) or the tin you are talking about was from a few years ago.
Yeah, they reprinted these tins with these updated packs...back when they came out, I ordered quite a few of them to stock up on Celestial Storm packs.
The sylveon vmax alt art is one of my favorite cards too. I was so lucky and happy that I pulled it and the espeon v out of my first box. I still want them all but at least i got my favorite
What PSA grads based on centering ?? Lol nice vid, sleeper future cards for sure.
Hi Jake, Great video again as always!
As I complete master sets I keep packs sealed from that set so my sealed pack collection continues to grow!
Dude I remember when this guy was leaving comments on random videos asking him to checking out yt when he was at 20 subs, look at where he is now.
Grabbed 5 packs of evolving skies from my local Best Buy today and got a winner! Rayquaza VMAX Alt art! Def won my budget challenge this month!
I’m pretty sure you sniped some of these cards from me 😂 happy hunting!!!
I love the series please do more
What a great idea! So bards to stick too lol
I want an umbreon star so bad. Can’t swing it this month, but I need to budget for one in May instead of breaking open a box
“You can’t pull anything out of this booster pack, the most expensive card is only 20 - 30 dollars”

I really do love this series. I am a strong advocate of setting a budget. I just think it is a good idea.
Awesome vids. Whose your all time favorite Pokémon?
Love these episodes, great idea Jake
Those Battle Styles tins are rough, I bought the smaller ones and they were rough too.
Next budget video can you show the whole collection to this point? or at least have a list of everything? thanks !

There's a little whitening looks like a cutting nick on the bottom of the sylveon. Unless that's just the light?
I NEED to start paying more attention to these lol
I got my brother the tyranitar for christmas and he loved but sadly he lost the promo.
The other day I picked up a Darkness Ablaze, Vivid Voltage, Shining Fates, and Fusion Strike bundle for $40 each + shipping. I think it was a decent deal considering I haven't opened 3 of those etbs or seen them in stores near me.
New to the hobby, what's a good place to buy singles outside of eBay?
Just curious what ever happened to the group portfolio you were building???
Damn bro Australian prices are triple what you pay in America looking at eBay listings for umbreon star $65 I'll have to try snipe one
Hey! I'm starting as a collector with not a bunch of money, where are you finding sales like this?
where do you buy your cards at? what website? ebay?
The problem is that I don't even have a $100 budget. I mostly spend around $50 per month
why don't u use sleeves to cards in binder?
I hate those big weird shaped tins, they just don't look good. The smaller ones are much nicer looking.
what are your thoughts on a base set psa 1 graded collection, I thought it would actually be a hilarious piece and at the same time is technically rare because psa rejects grading half point cards so it has to literally be right on the money the worst (gradeable) rating on a card
Haha i live in the uk i have a 160 dollar budget to start my collection what should I do?
I wonder how many different poketubers I bid against on ebay
For me this kind of prices are so fkn weird XD here in europe i cant find even an under 40€ copy for that umbreon but sylveon vmax can be found at 70€ so i dont imderstand it at all hahahahaha
What if you pick up some to resell to help the $100 challenge
Jake it's totally fair to use trade in with your 100 to get that zard
Just use trade in from what you pulled in your 100 videos
If I have $100 dollar, I will want to buy a CHARIZARD!
Where’s the most recent segment of this
Why didn’t you take a chance an buy a etb to try to pull the cads you bought that would have been a great bang for your buck….
Where are you getting these cards I paid 30 for my umbreon 😅😂
Buy 200 celebrations base set pikachus 😈😈😈 under $.50 each 😅😅😅😅🤑
No booster box ever?
woooooooooooo!
Video no. 420 😎
im late to the party again lol
Umbreon centering is bad
Twicebakedgoat
🔥
Lol guess he gave up on this which is weird good concept but It must mean that 100$ budget isnt good lol
First
Pre order 2 astral radiance pokemon center exclusive etbs. Those things always go up in value. But lf we not holding for a while. You could open and sell the big sellers. But holding as you know is best
