im not rich by any means but what the hell dude.
1) most of good cards cost 5-10-20 dollars. But most of them are 5-10.
2) you DON'T need to get the most expensive chase card to feel satisfied. Just maybe buy 1 or two in 1 year. Giratina V was my most expensive buy in the whole 2023. I just saved up and bought it for my master set.
Buying literal carboard feels weird to me so i never spend too much. But giratina v was special to me so i did that sacrifice.
>>55185979>I found out yesterday that I spend around $480 just on ONE(1) cardboard set. Box sets/Tins/Binder/ETBs (damn you 151)>(Even If I sold all the hits I pulled I would still be at -$100.)>But now I have a really nice little collection of 151 cards.>I also bought some Paradox rift packs and the ETB. $90Also don't do it like this weirdo.
Never overspend on "PrOdUcTs". Just buy singles online - it's not that difficult.
And if you really really like the set:
1) buy 1 etb to get sleeves and ETB-box.
2) buy few boosters
3) abandon everything above and just continue with buyig singles.
Going full retard and buying boosters and boxes with literally NOTHING inside is so fucking stupid.
Why not buy a cool Crown Zenith card instead of buying 1 scarlet-violet ETB for example?
