Asking for advice: first time collector
Hi.
I'm very new to trading card games. While I've always had an itch to collect cards, I've never really found an entry point. Until I recently did a deep dive and found out about the Gundam card game... I used to be a huge fan as a kid, so the wave of nostalgia that hit me was real. I hooked my nephew on anime when he was a little kid, and he has shown interest in collecting/playing Gundam as well. I'll probably buy us a starter set and some booster packs to get us started.
I'm not into playing the game just yet, but I've come to love the art and the thought of collecting. (For me and my nephew) I'm very new to that, so I've come here for some advice.
I've started with buying a binder and some penny sleeves and bought 23 loose packs of newtype rising, I'm loving the art, the feeling of the cards, opening packs, searching for the Lore etc..
Some questions though:
- how do people collect? Do they go for a suit, a series, a 'feel'? Tbh I just collect the LR's and the art that I really like, but I'm struggling to find a way to put them in a certain order.
- are there do's and dont's?
- general tips and advice?
Cheers!
