Hello!
Even though there are quite a few Pikachu card collections out there, I am seriously considering building up a collection of my own.
The purpose of this thread is to obtain general knowledge of Pokemon TCG card collecting as well as information regarding Pikachu cards.
Any relevant information will be greatly appreciated!
Some questions I have at the moment are:
- Is there a good database of Pikachu cards available somewhere? It would be nice if such a database included promo cards (and any other type of card) as opposed to just the cards that have been released in sets, however anything will help. A database of every Pokemon card available would also help.
- Collectors... how do you go about finding cards for your collection? I don't know many people who collect or play the Pokemon TCG in my city, so I figure I'll have to go online to obtain cards. Are there any websites that really stand out to you (Troll and Toad, PokeOrder, etc.) that have a good selection of collectibles in mint condition? Do you find much on Ebay or are there a lot of fakes? Do the buy/sell/trade threads on PokeBeach work well?
I know this is a lot to ask, especially coming from a new user such as myself, however, I sincerely appreciate any relevant information that is tossed my way!
Thank you!
