How To Start Collecting Pokemon Cards in 2021

This is great!!!

I’m still trying to find my way in the hobby, I notice I get lost exited of the Pokémon’s I know from earlier gens. I do keep everything cause I know my favourites can change. I’m also trying to catch up with the games and anime to get to know the later gens.

Which is the first pack to start by😊

theres too much! i'm gonna explode.. i dont understand anything

I like your videos

2-3 taps proceeds to tap 8 times lmao

Thanks for your insights, just started collecting. Your vid made me realize I don't have to pressure myself to get the rarest cards possible. I know it's exciting to have a big collection, but you should start somewhere. Thanks for pointing me in that right direction! Hope you get good pulls on your next packs :)

When you said the etb sleeves suck my heart dropped, I'm really just getting into it and have my barley 250 usd worth of go/swsh pulls in etb sleeves and toploaders, how screwed am I. :'(

I just started today, I got some cards from my classmates who sold me 2 Vmax cards, 3 basics, and one stage 1.

Great video! Thank you! 🎉

How do you know if something is rare enough to keep as soon as you open the pack?

Instead of cards, I’m going for the rarely seen (online) Ga-ole disks. The only problem with that the arcade machines are occupied sometimes

I just bought my first few packs on ebay was that a bad idea?

The way this guy speaks kills me booster and Pokémon sounds like he doing baby talk

Nice packs. Where did you get the other packs you brought in the video

I have tons of cards from when i was younger i'm 11 now and don't remember collecting too much and i have an entire giant box of them . I don't know whats good and how to tell if its good can someone please tell me.

First tip should be- Know about Pokemon
I mean in my school I have seen some kids buy Pokemon cards when they only know Pikachu

Question- so I have recently been getting into Pokémon tcg and thinking about getting a metagross collection (With betang and metang). Is there a specific booster pack (Like ruby and sapphire) that I should open that will increase my odds of getting these?? Or are my chances random?

Is it all from the same Company?

Does it mather what the pack looks like

How about the fusion pack

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! It’s been a good 20+ years since I collected Pokémon cards. Really wish I knew where my original binder full of them was😭🤣

So do you collect the holo reverse and holo rare??

My chdhood home burned down a few years ago, along with it my entire collection from when I was a kid. I had so many rares and holos and I am still so sad..

Sure finding valuable cards would be nice but I just wanna start collecting again, even if it has to be from scratch :( damn recent boost in pokémon card popularity

Should I have sleeves at the ready?

Are the biogentik sleeves from gamestop good as well ? Im just getting into it now mostly for nostalgia but love the new full card art since it looks so cool , but gamestop in canada i havent seen hard covered sleeves so i put my rare cards into i guess what you would call a penny sleeve then into a binder with top loaded sleeve pages for right now 🤔

I used to collect football cards but after playing Pokémon go and arceus i decided to dabble. I started by just buying a random pack after work for 5 bucks. Then after I bought about 3 of those I just bought a Vpack and pulled a Leafeon V! So hyped I love all the evee evolutions. Can’t wait to get more.

why i hope i dont go bankrupt

Istopped collecting around 12 and im picking it up now at 30 years old…figure the best way to enjoy it is as an adult with actual income!ibought 8 packs for 40 bucks..im now online hunting the first gen base set ..idc to much about 1st additions and junk ijust want the ones ihad as a kid

XY evolution is definitely the packs I want to open. Wouldn't of known that if it wasn't for this video. I collected Pokémon 15 years ago at school had a great collection but lost them I remember all the old Pokémon not the new ones

Hey! Great vid, I used to have thousands of cards as a kid but my mum got rid of them when I moved out (she didn't know there worth). But now as an adult, I want to start collecting again, but I don't know where to buy the official cards. I look on amazon but when I read the product reviews some people claim they're fakes. Where do you buy your cards?

I'm new to pokemon cards(just opened my first packs ever) I didn't get any code cards, is that ok?

How do you know what to sleeve and what not to sleeve? If they are holographic then sleeve it?

Jake I wish I knew how to start. It’s just so expensive and I’m wondering if I should just give up ☹️ I need a mentor

thxxx u were very useful

The anime, japanese or dub, would be a good start. If you like the anime, you'll likely stick with this hobby.

I’ve started collecting again started off buying two “w gold stamp promos” psa 10 and want to continue buy 1st edition 1st gen only cards along with Japanese promos do you think it is a good time ? I had so many good cards back in 2017 which are all sold now :( (the whole masaki set in psa 10 some no rarity squirtle wartortle etc ) have been wanting to start collecting again for a while now.
Thanks

How do you know its a "hollow rare"? I'm new but so interesting!

So, I got to one of those arcade places and I've been abusing tf out of Space Invaders for about 600 ticket a time, they sell booster packs for about 450 tickets, so I'm getting 1.33 packs per win, so I might be able to get 27 with my 12k I have saved up. Idk why I commented this, it's so long no one's gonna read it. Especially after adding this part about how long it is.

I’m just new with Pokémon trading cards how would you know which one is a valuable card?

bruh it's 3 mins in... tell me about the millions of different packs there are... I get it, be ready to take care if you get a rare card, I understood that 2 minutes and 30 seconds ago

Thanks so much for this video.

Did I understand correctly that you only sleeved the last card and the other cards that you pulled were not sleeved correct?

I’m new to collecting Pokémon cards and I haven’t bought anything yet so I was wondering the cards that aren’t hits what do you do with them? Do you still sleeve them up and store them in a binder along with the cards that are hits?

what do I do with basic cards that I dont want to keep? just throw them out?

Thanks for info and tips !

I have 300 Pokemon cards which Pokemon cards should I be getting

I have all 55/55 Cheetos pokemon 3d motion cards . I am going through tough time of my time . That's why I am selling them , if interested then please buy all of them . They are 17 years old and even some of them fully cover packed.. wanna buy ?

My personal tip: have fun.
I started collecting around the start of b&w. I was 10 at the time. I didn't care about what cards were worth what, I just wanted the cards I found the coolest/cutest.
I did sleeve them because my dad wanted me to, but I really didn't care about the money.
I took them to school to trade with my friends, looking to trade for even cooler cards and it was a blast. Sure, I've made some very stupid trades looking back, but that's fine by me.
Currently, I have a collection that's worth an estimated 1200 dollars. So when did I start taking it seriously? Never.
As I got older, I started looking for cards I liked on the internet. I picked whichever cards I wanted and that were in my price range at the time.
Almost all of them grew in value, which is where the money comes from.
Sadly the time of buying cards online and making a profit that easily is over, since due to the boom of "investors" all the older sets are already reaching their cap and the new sets are insanely overpriced.
That's why it's even more important now than ever to do it for fun. They're cool little things, and each one of them contains a value beyond the price tag. Collect the cards you like, not the ones you think will make you money. It will keep the process fun, and I promise that after a few years of collecting you will, like me, end up with an obsene amount of money in cards made for a children's video game as promotion




Seriously tf do I do with these things now

Hello there. I got a victini Vmax card that looks like a rainbow, is that rare? I just started my 3 buster packs, but I don't know much about Pokemon, I started with the games and now watching the anime
