    Buying Japanese Pokemon cards is a lot of fun - until you lose all your money.
    Collecting Pokemon cards in 2021 became an extremely expensive hobby, largely due to rampant Pokemon card investing, Pokemon card flipping and Pokemon card scalping. For many collectors and TCG players, buying Pokemon Booster Boxes and Blister Packs was no longer affordable, and so many collectors started buying Single cards - Pokemon pack openings became a thing of the past. This was especially true for Japanese Pokemon card collectors, due to the extremely expensive Special Art, Alternate Art and Full Art Trainer chase cards.

    So what happens when you spend 6 months buying Japanese Pokemon cards directly from Japan? Well, you end up with a lot of Singles from sets like Eevee Heroes, Skyscraping Perfect, Blue Sky Stream and Shiny Star V. And in some cases, you end up even further back, and before you know it you’re opening up Pokemon packs from the XY Era and Japanese Concept Packs.
    That’s why today I decided to show you how much money you can make or lose from buying Pokemon cards in just a few short months. Let my mistakes be your lessons!

    I don't remember the exact words but Rudy from Alpha Investments often says "Save a Penny, Lose a Dollar", meaning who cares about the small gains, in the long run those are not what matters.

    This was great to understand how much you payed and lost.
    I don't buy singles myself, I prefer to try and get the card myself which I know costs a lot more money but it's the enjoyment out of opening them than anything else.
    I have managed to accumulate a few Shiny Charizard Vmax's from Shiny Star V set which I'm keeping locked away hoping the prices will go up after they stop printing them, but I will always keep at least one of every card for my own personal collection.

    We all learn the hard way as we collect more cards. If I waited 1 month from when I started to purchase celebrations I would probably save like $400-500? I remember buying a full set of the Japanese amazing rare for like $150, and now we can get em for much lower, but hey they all came back as PSA 10 so I'm pretty happy about that.
