I decided to follow the advice on here and just enjoy collecting and if it makes a profit then thats just the icing on the cake.
So I have base set, fossil and jungle but I decided to leave these be as they are far too expensive considering how common unlimited are.
Anyway so I also collected in 2009 with my nephew so decided to fill in these collections.
- we had some cards from ex power keepers
- quite a few from majestic dawn
- some from platinum base set
I have to say that majestic dawn is my favourite and I m preferring it to even base set. The legendary birds are present but the eevee evolutions are just so beautiful.
The only downside in these sets is these reverse holo things which are new to me and people seem to love to charge quite a lot for which makes buying a whole set prohibitive.
I assume there are places where one can trade which would be easy but my thoughts is that the people that bought these in 09 are like 17-23 now and they are in closets. How does a 30 year old meet a 20 year old lol
Anyway I found a website that sold cards and bought a over 100 cards for 160 bucks which was a great find so hopefully they are in good condition. I scout gumtree every so often hoping to find some but rarely do cards from those sets ever appear but one did the other day and I bought all the cards I didnt have. That was the first one in a month and she also had power keepers but they werent in the best shape.
Power keepers are hitting ebay more now which is good thought the ex and the gold stars a so dear.
The platinum cards are quite cheap atm so I may regret not jumping on those lv x cards.
