Hellooo!
Hello! I want to start collecting Pokemon cards. This all started when I bought booster packs in Japan, and I genuinely enjoyed the experience!!! I wanted to ask for tips or advice on how to start collecting here in the PH like where to buy cards, where NOT to buy, and where I should begin...
I recently went to a hobby store and checked the prices of ETBs, booster bundles, and booster packs, and honestly, they were insanely expensive. I know this hobby can get really pricey, but grabe naman yung presyo 😅 I even converted the prices from what I paid in Japan, and the difference was huge. I didn’t even go inside anymore dahil nahiya na ako magtanong. I also joined a Pokemon trading Facebook group and tried buying from someone there, but sadly I got scammed and received fake cards. That experience honestly discouraged me from collecting because ang daming scalpers and scammers dito sa PH. Na-trauma na rin ako bumili online 🤣 So if you have any tips, tricks, advice, trusted stores, or beginner-friendly recommendations, I’m all ears. Thank you!
