    I've always recommended to people to start with the Crown Zenith set. It's such a great set! The pulls are generous, and the artwork is really good. To be honest, I feel like the Trainer Gallerys - in Crown Z - are so underpriced. Only reason its underpriced is because of the generous pull rate. But anyway, crown zenith is a perfect set to begin your collecting journey. After crown zenith, get into Obsidian Flames, Paldean Fates, and then Brilliant Stars and Silver Tempest. In this order! Then when you really want to press your luck, Fusion, Lost Origin, and 151.

      Yeah I bought 3 of those crown zenith boxes from sams and they're so fun to pull 😭

I'm sure I will regret it years from now, but just sold the Mew on Whatnot. Also i've opened about 5 packs total of Fusion strike, pulled Espeon vmax!

    I need that Spiritomb! I’ve loved Pokémon since 99/00, but only recently got back into collecting cards (except Trick or Trade which I’ve collected the past 3 years). My collection is less value-focused and more what sparks joy for me. I love the ghosts! 👻
    Also my partner and I have recently been pulling a fair amount of Crown Zenith and WOW the hits have been crazy! I pulled the Darkrai V Star from our first ETB, such a good looking card imo!
