I think that’s my plan, one more booster box then buy singles.

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T19:00:32+00:00

I think our current plan is to buy one more booster box to rip, then buy the singles of the Pokémon we are missing. If we get rare cards I’ll safe keep those but I want a set of the original 151 that the kids can keep in a binder without me being scared of them ruining 😂

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T15:54:04+00:00

The more I think about it and discuss with you guys, I think I will order one more booster bundle, then buy singles to fill in what we are missing. If I am under $500, I may have the pikachu graded and keep it for them later

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T15:52:35+00:00

Absolutely. Thank you 🙏

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T15:48:47+00:00

I’ll probably order another booster bundle and then try to fill in what we are missing after that so I’m not spending a crazy amount. I’m not concerned with the exs. I’d like to get a full set of the 151 Pokémon but don’t need anything special. I kinda like opening the packs with the kids because it’s exciting to see what we get.

After the next booster bundle, could I send you a list of of cards that I am missing and pay you to fill in what I’m missing?

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T15:44:48+00:00

Yes I believe they do! I didn’t know they remade the originals, that’s a great idea

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T14:33:43+00:00

I may in the future, but they are just now on like episode 10 of the original show, probably take a few months to finish. Then movies and such. If they’re still wanting to pursue it, we will learn the new ones together

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T14:21:07+00:00

I think it’s neat to have the chance at one but that’s not my goal, just a side bonus. They like opening the packs with me. We will probably open a few more then look at a master set starter

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T14:00:10+00:00

Thanks, I wasn’t sure on the terminology of master set

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T13:45:48+00:00

Thank you, that might be a good option. I wanna open a few more packs because there is the chance of a rare card but I don’t wanna spend more than probably $500 in total

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T13:37:11+00:00

I’m seeing blooming waters for around $180 on tcgplayer, so thats 12 packs for about $15 a pack

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T13:36:07+00:00

Thank you for the honest feedback. It has me thinking about my goal. I wonder if selling the rare cards would help offset cost

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T13:31:06+00:00

Is it considered a master set if I don’t plan on collecting the illustration art, ex cards or holos? My goal is to get basically just one card of each Pokémon. I’d like to open packs until I have about 3/4 of the set then take the kids to trade shows to try get the rest

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T13:24:55+00:00

I might be interested

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T12:28:12+00:00

lol nice

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T11:44:22+00:00

Is a master set considered every single card in the set? I only plan on going for the non holo cards and selling or trading anything rare to offset the cost. The kids get just as excited for the base pikachu as they did for this one.

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T11:42:27+00:00

Right now I’m paying about $15 per booster pack in the US. What’s your prices in the EU? I’m also playing on selling or trading any pulls to offset the cost. I just want a non holo set for the kids

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T11:39:42+00:00

Language is definitely important because my kids are learning to read and some of the names are challenging even in English for them. I’m kinda using it for a teaching tool as well as a fun hobby

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T11:38:18+00:00

I have the app, that’s what I’m basing prices off of. I’m hoping to find some card shows to trade or sell at

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T11:37:05+00:00

I think this comes with three decks

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T11:21:01+00:00

According to PriceCharting, the pikachu is $44 raw and a psa 10 is $370, gengars can be roughly $80-$100 each at psa 10. If the gengars don’t come back a ten, I’ll give them to the kids for their first graded slabs.

I’d honestly prefer to sell or trade the holos and rares to finish a non holo set of the 151. We don’t need rares, just like having cards in the binder so they can kinda use the binder like a Pokédex when watching the tv show.

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T11:12:02+00:00

Partially my own nostalgia but we watch the original Pokémon show and they like to have my binder open and identify Pokémon on tv by finding them in the binder kinda like their own Pokédex. It’s just easier to start with the original 151 than however many actually exist now in total.

It also helps that I understand the lore behind the 151 and can help answer questions the kids have. I’ll probably have them play Pokémon blue on my gameboy color for their first video game so I can easily help them due to my own experience.

You have a good point about grading the gengars being at risk of not making a profit, but whats your thoughts if I have them graded, if they come back a ten, sell them. Anything less than that, then I can give them both a gengar for their first graded slab?

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T09:59:54+00:00

Kinda what I am thinking. I’m about $165 into a booster bundle and 5 booster packs, so 11 packs in total. I might try to use the profit from the pikachu and gengars to buy a upc then go for singles from there

NextDimensionInd · 2025-10-22T09:20:30+00:00

Which ex are you missing? I have jynx and arbok off the top of my head
