>>55185819yeah I would say so.
I started collecting with 151.
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. $90
And already preordered stuff of Paldean fates. $150
But I also collect seald stuff so I pay even more than necessary. (Didn't include them in my numbers)
So yes you have to be either rich or live alone in a small ass apartment, have no friends and have no other hobbies whatsoever.(like me)
