Great video Jake, I used to find it very difficult to hold back on purchasing cards I want, but after finding sniping deals I’ve found it very rewarding to land a great card way under market.
I would love to see a recap of what you have total and the total value compared to spending in the next video. I think it would also be cool to grade a card with a cgc or cheaper grading company.
These videos are such an inspiration while starting up my collection again. When I was a kid I had a binder full of holos and while being forced to move around my step grandparents gave it away while I was in the middle of moving, it was at least $1000 of cards especially since they were almost all within the first 5 years of pokemon. I'm going to start a budget collection just like this now that I have a little more money.
Entering the hobby, I spent so much money buying packs, ETBs, collection boxes etc and had very little to show for it. I've now grown into buying and bidding graded cards I want. I save loads of money and get what I want without messing about.
I remember purchasing complete base sets for $90 back in 2016. Finding and purchasing mint/gem mint base set zards for $40 - $70 bucks. 1st edition base set zards raw copies for $300 bucks. Those were the days!
such a good pickup on that sylveon. it takes skill and a lot of attention to time things so well. I want to try!! My money is getting saved for the hisui sets rn though
Since you started this series, Jake, I've become ASTUTELY aware of ONLY BUYING what I like, and that's Eevee cards! I find myself having A LOT of my budget untouched EVERY month, and that's a good thing, right? 😉 Thanks for the great TIPS and Pokémon content!!!
Thanks Jake for another budget investment video. 👍 You can still complete your base set collection, including Charizard, and still be within your 100.00 budget per month. On your next month, keep your 100.00 allotment aside and wait for the following month to purchase your Charizard card. You will have 200.00 available funds and may have extra to get another base set card. This is what I do when buying stocks and mutual funds.
Thank you for the great videos Jake. I’m wondering, I want to collect Lugia cards. Where should I look and are there any cards in particular that you would recommend is a good deal?
I remember the packs in these being varied when released. One tin I ordered from Pokemon Center on release had a Forbidden Light, while the other had a Celestial Storm
Yeah, they reprinted these tins with these updated packs...back when they came out, I ordered quite a few of them to stock up on Celestial Storm packs.
“You can’t pull anything out of this booster pack, the most expensive card is only 20 - 30 dollars” Gold Zacian and Zamazenta, full art Marnie, secret rare Snorelax Vmax
Man those were some nice pick ups. I finally found some stuff at walmart they had the tins with slowbro and mew in them. Picked up two from the vivid voltage set I got a gold Hero's Medal which is pretty cool I think to snag one out of a tin. I also noticed they had xy booster packs of crimson invasion in them. Are those worth trying to keep the boosters sealed and as a an artwork set if I can pick up the other two packs?
The sylveon vmax alt art is one of my favorite cards too. I was so lucky and happy that I pulled it and the espeon v out of my first box. I still want them all but at least i got my favorite
I do enjoy the series. I don’t always agree with some of your decisions (like blowing half your budget on one card). I like seeing what kinds of deals you can find. I just think for a new or budget collector starting from scratch, I probably wouldn’t recommend spending so much on one card. Especially considering the price of that Sylveon will most likely continue to go down as more ES are reprinted. I’d be curious to see what other cards you could have gotten for that $46.
what are your thoughts on a base set psa 1 graded collection, I thought it would actually be a hilarious piece and at the same time is technically rare because psa rejects grading half point cards so it has to literally be right on the money the worst (gradeable) rating on a card
The other day I picked up a Darkness Ablaze, Vivid Voltage, Shining Fates, and Fusion Strike bundle for $40 each + shipping. I think it was a decent deal considering I haven't opened 3 of those etbs or seen them in stores near me.
With $100 I can buy the raw/graded cards I actually want. Ripping packs is fun. BUT it’s a total gamble and unless you can buy a mountain of them it’s not going to get you the cards you want.
For me this kind of prices are so fkn weird XD here in europe i cant find even an under 40€ copy for that umbreon but sylveon vmax can be found at 70€ so i dont imderstand it at all hahahahaha
Pre order 2 astral radiance pokemon center exclusive etbs. Those things always go up in value. But lf we not holding for a while. You could open and sell the big sellers. But holding as you know is best
I gotta start implementing the $100 monthly budget for sure 😅🤣 thanks for the tips bro!
I really love this series! Really helps me decide what’s worth it and how to get things I want without breaking the bank. Thanks!
2:50 Wow that is my favorite card of ES love that card

These are my favorite videos you do. Love these! ❤️
We’re nearing 2 months without a new update :( Hopefully you start this again soon
Will you continue with this ?
Plot twist: the lost footage was an amazing pull and Jake kept it for himself
Where’s the next one??

Literally the best series! Especially for me as a broke ass college student haha
Great video Jake! There’s plenty of great products/cards you can add to your collection with 100$ ! 🙏🏼🔥
Those tins are hot doodoo. This clearly shows why they are heavily discounted and even then people are staying away from them.
Hi Jake, Great video again as always!
Seeing this 2 years later, it's very entertaining to listen to your opinions about the 'moonbreon' card. ES is definitely an anomaly.
Keep this videos coming! :D
I remember purchasing complete base sets for $90 back in 2016. Finding and purchasing mint/gem mint base set zards for $40 - $70 bucks. 1st edition base set zards raw copies for $300 bucks. Those were the days!
I absolutely love that sylveon card. My friend has it in Japanese but refused to sell it to me lol
where do you buy your cards at? what website? ebay?
Best series on RUclips for sure!!
What PSA grads based on centering ?? Lol nice vid, sleeper future cards for sure.
Love these episodes, great idea Jake
why don't u use sleeves to cards in binder?
such a good pickup on that sylveon. it takes skill and a lot of attention to time things so well. I want to try!! My money is getting saved for the hisui sets rn though
There's a little whitening looks like a cutting nick on the bottom of the sylveon. Unless that's just the light?
I love the series please do more
New to the hobby, what's a good place to buy singles outside of eBay?
Just curious what ever happened to the group portfolio you were building???
Since you started this series,
Jake, I've become ASTUTELY
aware of ONLY BUYING what
I like, and that's Eevee cards!
I find myself having A LOT of
my budget untouched EVERY
month, and that's a good thing,
right? 😉 Thanks for the great
TIPS and Pokémon content!!!
What a great idea! So bards to stick too lol
I recently bought a battles styles for the hell of it and picked up the Gold Houndoom Shiny
Hey! I'm starting as a collector with not a bunch of money, where are you finding sales like this?

As I complete master sets I keep packs sealed from that set so my sealed pack collection continues to grow!
I want an umbreon star so bad. Can’t swing it this month, but I need to budget for one in May instead of breaking open a box
I’ve been buying the charizard from the ultra premium collection.
I’m pretty sure you sniped some of these cards from me 😂 happy hunting!!!
Thank you for the great videos Jake. I’m wondering, I want to collect Lugia cards. Where should I look and are there any cards in particular that you would recommend is a good deal?
Awesome vids. Whose your all time favorite Pokémon?
I remember the packs in these being varied when released. One tin I ordered from Pokemon Center on release had a Forbidden Light, while the other had a Celestial Storm
That was either an error tin (which is highly unlikely) or the tin you are talking about was from a few years ago.
Yeah, they reprinted these tins with these updated packs...back when they came out, I ordered quite a few of them to stock up on Celestial Storm packs.
Those Battle Styles tins are rough, I bought the smaller ones and they were rough too.

Haha i live in the uk i have a 160 dollar budget to start my collection what should I do?

I got my brother the tyranitar for christmas and he loved but sadly he lost the promo.
Dang that Umbreon and Sylveon pick up were awesome steals.
Next budget video can you show the whole collection to this point? or at least have a list of everything? thanks !
what are your thoughts on a base set psa 1 graded collection, I thought it would actually be a hilarious piece and at the same time is technically rare because psa rejects grading half point cards so it has to literally be right on the money the worst (gradeable) rating on a card
Dude I remember when this guy was leaving comments on random videos asking him to checking out yt when he was at 20 subs, look at where he is now.
Damn bro Australian prices are triple what you pay in America looking at eBay listings for umbreon star $65 I'll have to try snipe one
What if you pick up some to resell to help the $100 challenge
Grabbed 5 packs of evolving skies from my local Best Buy today and got a winner! Rayquaza VMAX Alt art! Def won my budget challenge this month!
Where’s the most recent segment of this
The other day I picked up a Darkness Ablaze, Vivid Voltage, Shining Fates, and Fusion Strike bundle for $40 each + shipping. I think it was a decent deal considering I haven't opened 3 of those etbs or seen them in stores near me.
I NEED to start paying more attention to these lol
The problem is that I don't even have a $100 budget. I mostly spend around $50 per month
I wonder how many different poketubers I bid against on ebay
No booster box ever?
With $100 I can buy the raw/graded cards I actually want. Ripping packs is fun. BUT it’s a total gamble and unless you can buy a mountain of them it’s not going to get you the cards you want.
I really do love this series. I am a strong advocate of setting a budget. I just think it is a good idea.
Why didn’t you take a chance an buy a etb to try to pull the cads you bought that would have been a great bang for your buck….
Where are you getting these cards I paid 30 for my umbreon 😅😂
Jake it's totally fair to use trade in with your 100 to get that zard
Just use trade in from what you pulled in your 100 videos
I hate those big weird shaped tins, they just don't look good. The smaller ones are much nicer looking.
If I have $100 dollar, I will want to buy a CHARIZARD!
For me this kind of prices are so fkn weird XD here in europe i cant find even an under 40€ copy for that umbreon but sylveon vmax can be found at 70€ so i dont imderstand it at all hahahahaha
im late to the party again lol
Buy 200 celebrations base set pikachus 😈😈😈 under $.50 each 😅😅😅😅🤑
Umbreon centering is bad
Video no. 420 😎
Twicebakedgoat
Lol guess he gave up on this which is weird good concept but It must mean that 100$ budget isnt good lol
woooooooooooo!
