>>29344193>also realize that there are cards that are only available in the boxes or at prereleases that are different from the actual card included in the setNo one has ever been able to collect every single Pokemon card. It's madness.
The best you can do is start small, buy a few packs here or there, and see how you like it.
I started around the XY packs because I wanted the Full Art cards of Blastoise, Venusaur, and Charizard. After that I was hook.
Hey, you never know, one day you might get your hands on a very rare card worth something.
The rarest card I have is Plasma Storm Charizard, and a Mis-print of AO Kyorge EX with the wrong holo foil.
