Pokemon can be an expensive hobby for some people. We understand pay and prices vary around the world. When we made this video, it was from the perspective of a consumer in the United States.
etb $35, binder $25 hard sleeves $5 (if you into collecting) , playing mat $5 (if your into playing), energy cards $2 (if your into playing), precision scale $8 (if your into buying cards) , coin microscope $25-35 (to see if cards are in good condition at home and if they are worth grading), magnifying glass $5 (for on the go grading when in flea markets and such) microfiber cloth and gloves $ 3 (for cleaning/protectiong), Boxes for fodder. This is pretty much everything needed to get into serious card collection, not only pokemon but also sports, anime, etc. I think the best advice for any new collector is to understand the cards, their grading scale, what to do to protect and not damage them, how to spot fake cards, and making sure to have a good supply of garage sales and flea markets near to you lol. Collecting and making money are two completely different things. Making money by card collecting can be done by going to flea markets and is general the easier way to start getting profit even if your just looking to not sell those cards. but noticing market spikes and new releases are usually for people more in the space.
If your budget is like $50, you might as well get singles to start if you're not gonna play the game. For me I loved playing the TCG battles when i was younger and want to teach my brothers to play Pokemon. I will have a personal binder of my prize collection which I'm mostly focusing on art and Japanese cards of my favorite pokemon. I don't care for rarity, i just love the art and aesthetics.
This advice is primarily for colllecting master sets. For those that just want a binder full of rares, you can do the same thing, but just sort by rarity and commons, uncommons, and rares can just be in your bulk. It takes longer to fill your binder, but it makes for a really good looking, highly coveted collection! :)
Okay: if you care about the state of your cards this is minimum. If you don’t, you could buy a cheaper binder for storing only, and buy something cheaper then a etb like boxes and tins

Pre-order everything and buy stuff on sale. Will save a lot of money.

5/9 hits is crazy luck!!
Yeah, we finally got lucky!
Great advice!!
Glad it helped! we spent a lot of time on this video.
But fun fact etb's are hard to find for certain sets
It’s true specially right now with surging sparks. I find that if you get it on release you can usually snag one.
Bro 70 USD in india is very very expensive make a video under 40 usd
Okay: if you care about the state of your cards this is minimum. If you don’t, you could buy a cheaper binder for storing only, and buy something cheaper then a etb like boxes and tins
@kooz023bs thanks. Bro I am buying a binder and a tin
that box is like 20+ hours min wage here to afford
You high?
@@gengar90he prob is on the fun juice too
@@gengar90 For me Its similar tbh, 70$ can buy me over a weeks worth of food for 2 people.
@@SkiffyYT sure but he’s not talking about food lol. He’s saying an etb is worth £200+
@@gengar90 20+ hours of minimum wage in a different currency can be worth 70$. That’s what I mean and I think what @stolenpw meant
