Did anyone else get sucked back into the world of collecting Pokémon Cards after that 151 set came out? No? Just me and my husband? Lol okay.
OMG, I’m ashamed to admit it but in late 2023/2024 we probably dropped like thousands on Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z cards. I blame my penchant for gambling. I hadn’t been able to go to the Casino since having my son in 2022, so it was like a filler for me. You never knew if you were going to hit a rare card or not.
We just went to a Family dollar in the hood and they had so many of the 3 pack Pokémon tin boxes for $15. I had to grab one because finding Pokémon cards in the wild is a little crazy right now. Especially with the new set destined rivals. Anyways the inside had 2 packs of Obsidian Flames, and one Scarlet and Violet.
If you are a true collector and not trying to spend outrageous money buying from scalpers, I would recommend being a little creative with your sourcing. Try spots where people typically wouldn’t buy Pokémon cards. I f*cking HATE SCALPERS. They ruin everything. It would be one thing if they were trying to make a little money, but they are literally ruining the hobby for kids and adults alike. Screw them!
