Depends who signs them. Veronica Taylor's signature probably increases the value, while Jason Paige's is probably going to ruin your card's value.

SILENTHILL [2909561]

Very much so, signatures on cards is more of a niche market however if they are signed by the cards art illustrator they can be worth an extreme amount.

 

Voice actor cards go for a nice amount, enough for me to keep buying to store away.

Does Pokemon do prize support if you play the game irl?

 

In magic they do Friday night magic where in my experience you pay an entry fee and get packs per round you win and even if you get skunked you at least get a pity pack.

 

I like grinding games if it's something I can do a budget buyin then slowly open cards and trade up that's how I like to navigate tcgs

 

I came back in like 10 years ago with a 40 dollar budget then traded and opened and even won a store championship. I recently sold off a large chunk of what I acquired and used the 10 grand to be jobless for most of the year.

Depending on your local game store they might hold events, normally speaking it will work the same. Pay a fee to play competevily, gain a pack for competing and depending on placement in the comp you'll gain promo's or packs.

 

Starting low with a budget is always a good idea, I wouldn't rush into Pokémon without the experience to know what your buying.

 

Limiting yourself is a great idea with budgets, once you get more familiar with the TCG and sets then I'd personally start upping the amounts on what you can spend or stay stable on what you are currently investing into it. Needless to say all poke is good poke, and you enjoy what you enjoy it doesn't always have to be the rare or expensive cards, it's a hobby in which you value in what you like.

 

Good luck have fun, and bring some positivity back into it for others!

From my understanding, pokemon is actually easier to do this with. For the cost of 1-2 mtg game changer cards, you can build a tournament winning Pokemon deck. 

 

It won't be the prettiest cards, but it'll do the job

I absolutely adore Pokémon TCG collecting. I have hundreds of cards. Sadly, the explosion of the hobby and the scalpers that came with it have ruined it. I can’t find well-priced packs anymore. I will share some of my pulls in the future!

SILENTHILL [2909561]

Scalpers have ruined this hobby, it should be an easy hobby to get into only getting serious when your after older vintage top grade cards.

 

Anything new should have a decent price range associated to it not inflated price points made up by adults stock buying to flip.
