Obtaining Cards

[Neo man]

Hey, how does the average Pokemon card player/collector get cards? Do you buy only boosters, or order singles online, or what? Huh?

 

[Heavenly Spoon]

trade, buy, and buy boosters, lots of boosters. In a shop, not online

 

[Neo man]

Yeah, I would trade, but I'm just about the only Pokemon fan in my state. So I buy buy buy boosters. I'm a collector, not a player. I buy theme decks when there's a special holo card, like Ho-oh and Lugia for Unseen Forces.

I dont buy boosters much, normally I go to preleases to get boosters and I also trade to get cards

I buy boosters and theme decks I usualy buy 6 or 7 packs at a time and a theme deck every few months or so and I get about 400 to 500 cards ayear and one year I got the EX trainer kit and 14 booster packs. That is about $100 worth.

:O steal??

yeah, he jacked my friend's sealed box.

others just receive cards from mail trades, and don't send....(on pokegym, a lot of ppl do that.)

you can tell bad traders by looking at bad traders lists.

 

[Kirlia7755]

Know of any? Make them send first.

I buy packs, but I get almost all of my cards from the internet. Mostly from trading sites but smetimes I get some from ebay.

The internet is not very safe. Go to card shops and stores.
