Newbie looking for advice
I'm new to the pokemon cards world, only started learning about it because my kiddo got interested and therefore I need to get interested. We're "collectors" and battlers, definitely not investors. We ripped everything and play with our duplicates. Cards have been difficult to find at reasonable prices, so I'm stuck with a bit of a dilemma.
I just received our two pokemon center chaos rising etbs, and from what I keep reading and hearing is that these are worth more than regular ones.
Is what's inside really that special?
Should me and my 6yr old rip these and play with them?
Or should I take them to a card show and try to trade them for regular etbs and possibly something additional because of the higher value?
Is it worth the hassle?
Thanks!
