New to collecting Pokémon - should I open these or keep them sealed? Bought in Romania

Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to Pokémon collecting, but I’ve been following Pokémon for a long time and always loved the artwork.

I recently bought these in Romania: a Mega Lucario ex League Battle Deck and a Mega Evolution: Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box. My main interest is collecting for the artwork and hobby enjoyment, not really investing or reselling.

I’m a bit torn: should I open them and enjoy the cards/packs, or keep them sealed because the boxes look really cool too?

Also, since I bought them while traveling in Romania, I’d appreciate any thoughts on whether these look okay/authentic from the photos. I’m still learning what to check.

What would you do as a beginner collector who mostly cares about the art?

Thanks! 😊

Smyths 30th Anniversary

I was just wondering if the pokemon 30th anniversary celebration collection due to be released worldwide on September 16th will be stocked in Smyths or if there is another place that is better to get it in on that day?

PSA: The Range selling dodgy packs?

Popped into The Range today to kill some time. Saw they had Japanese packs of battle partners at the counter. 6.50 a pack; a crazy price. Decided to take the hit for science. Is it just me or does this look resealed? Had a kind of glue at the base of the pack. Is it tough to reseal Japanese?
