I am also having trouble figuring out how to stay up to date. I just watched smprattes latest video about how on his patreon he told people that buying the illustrator charizard was a good idea and he tripled their money… Does he give tips on what cards to buy often on patreon? If so, that will be the first patreon I sub to.

If you are following anyone, not just me for “which cards to buy” you aren’t going to do well in this hobby. My patreon is about understanding markets, not chasing certain cards. Sometimes cards can be used as an example to emphasize value, like in the case of charizard. But the focus is knowledge and understanding, to help you make sound decisions, rather than which card is the next stonk.

Thanks for the reply, but I was really just hoping you would make me rich for 20 dollars a month.

I’ll sub for a month to give it a try, though.

Feel free to try it out. Its actually good timing as the rate is going to increase soon, but anyone who joins before is grandfathered in.

PokeGuardian/PokeBeach usually get the information out early enough. I’d also add Pokeboon.

The next easily accessible thing to do is follow the social media of the various Pokemon affiliated sites like twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp or their actual website www.pokemon.co.jp/info/. Even e4 will mention most of the promos if you venture out of the price discussion and bulk of the general threads.

But as for what cards to buy as an investment that’s another story.

What is cheap af to you? On ebay its still 150-350+

Yeah any card in the 150-350 range is cheap af. Once things get above 500 and starts impacting your wallet a little more, you gotta be a little less frivelrous with your spending. Once things get in the $2,000+ range, you gotta be frugal and calculated on what you buy. Or at least, that’s my mindset.

Lol I would not consider 150-350 cheap af for a damn pokemon card. All relative I guess.
