DON'T FEED THE GOBLIN! Treat yourself, but check yourself.

[@maverickbonato8164]

When you said you wanted to collect male full art trainer my first thought was "damn, she's so lucky...". I'm always in the lookout for both and the difference in price between male and female is as obvious as it is extreme lol

[@strawberrypi]

Yeah, it’s so different 😂 good for me

[@CheckedH]

SHE IS BACK with some wise words. Start of the new year with a PSA. Thank you strawberry. Looking forward to your videos this year.

[@ShadowTheRebel]

Such a relatable video 🔥🔥

[@polymvth]

Really dig this! Appreciate the retrospective of how we got here, and tips to collect and enjoy ~responsibly~ While I don’t feel like I spent terribly above my means last year, fomo definitely hit the pockets more than it should have. The goblin definitely needs to go on a more strict and tracked diet this year!

[@strawberrypi]

The goblin feeds that FOMO, but we’re strong enough to hold it back… most of the time 😂

[@KrystalKollectz]

The number 3 never did me wrong when collecting in different languages 😂 well said, enjoyed this video!

[@strawberrypi]

It do be magic, thank you so much! ☺️

[@famicommike9014]

I definitely am with you on taming your collecting needs. I had to sell some of my gem cards and older Pokemon cards in 2023 to pay bills but I have my own goals collecting wise now for Digimon and Pokemon.

[@strawberrypi]

Oh well done for setting yourself goals 👏

[@abdullahawad9679]

great advice as usual. I recently got into Digimon TCG & I'm enjoying it so far. The art, gameplay, and collection part everything is great but it is easy to get carried away & buy too many boxes without realising how much you actually spend. So, indeed, we have to keep the goblin in check.

[@strawberrypi]

Yup 🫡 spot on!

[@luciangradinariu3301]

This is so nice to hear. I've just recently got into Pokemon TCG collecting, and it is so hard to know what I want to collect, because the goblin what's it ALL :)), and also because there's so many sets out there. Going for favorite artists and certain pokemon is definitely a fun way to go about it. Thanks so much for the words of wisdom!

[@kenyattawhite794]

Thanks for the wise words, this is why I make sure that I take care. Of financial responsibilities beforehand so I don't mess anything up. Responsibilities before frivolities I always say. As for the goblin, you may have one but I have a ogre. But I still manage to beat him.

Thank you for your tips ! I was more of a vpet collector but I've decided to start a tcg collection too, and I do agree that planning ahead will help me save money (and space 😮). I want to collect cards with references to the digimon world games , x antibody mons and maybe Royal Knights too (as I really like Alphamon and Magnamon). I'll be looking forward to your follow up video 😊

[@strawberrypi]

Oooh! The Royal knights have some stunning cards. That’s some sick collection goals, love that it’s so personal to you

[@Mordekirby]

BT-11 is good for Digimon World Games, BT-09 for X-Antibody and BT-13 for the Royal Knights, just as a little help if you don´t know where to start.

[@Davidlyv1]

What a great video. First one of you that I've watched and I subscribed right away. Excited to go back and watch your older videos :) Very well edited and funny!

[@strawberrypi]

Oh thank you so much, what a lovely thing to say 😭

[@Mordekirby]

I like your passion towards koki and his artworks and it´s nice to hear your missing only a few cards. I got a 2nd copy of the Hydramon alt art and the BlackWarGreymon X alt art that both would fit in your collection from my christmas gift. I like the artworks of Naochika Morishita a lot and hope to hit the BanchoLeomon alt art in EX-05 that he drew and when i got the Magnamon X alt art from BT-09 i also started to become a fan of As´Marias artworks.

[@strawberrypi]

I adore Naochika’s work! They drew my fav Blackwargreymon alternate art, def an incredible artist to collect. Good luck on your hunt in EX05 🫡

[@TheY0shi08]

I am a Pokémon player, but I've tried my hand at collecting, and I've done so with a more serious collection and two more casual and broad collections: - The more serious one is I'm trying to collect every single bird Pokémon that comes out in the Scarlet & Violet block (except League promos and Asia-exclusive cards) just because I love birds, which has also brought me into a fair bit of trouble, not in finding them but with other players in my area and my girlfriend having "heated" discussions on what constitutes as a bird (does Porygon/evos count as a bird? I say no, others say yes, and more examples). - The more broad and casual ones is just trying to get all cards of my two favorite Pokémon that aren't birds that I find while trading with friends and people in my local community, without trying too hard for anything, and those Pokémon are Lucario (and Riolu) and Luxray (and Shinx/Luxio). I have to say it's a lot of fun, but you do have to be careful to not feed the goblin, as you say 😂

[@strawberrypi]

A bird collection sounds incredible, love the debate about what is a bird or not 😂 And your collection goals sound perfect 👏

[@audreybaffi5153]

This is so important! I found myself lost at the end of 2023 looking back at how much I actually spend on cardboard for the instant gratification of owning shiny cards. I used to - at least in Digimon - do mastersets (And when I mean masterset, I mean every single variant so yeah...). So for this year I took a HUGE step back. I'll only collect my dear Lopmons, Cherubimons and Angewomons. So I kind of applied the 3 rule without knowing, lol! I dropped One Piece (Was lucky to pull my favorites that were also chase cards, so no crazy amount spent there) and also dropped the Digimon masterset thing. No more ghost or regional illustration rare chase, I've got the ones i wanted so bad 2 years back so I told myself that that's enough. You are right, the only person that cares if I have a card is me, so I decided not to care anymore. Not a lot of people talk about this, but this is a serious addiction that can very well ruin lives if not handled properly. The important thing is that I get really happy looking through my binders and anything beyond that will be handled with a lot of thought going forward. Thank you for this video! ;)

[@strawberrypi]

That’s an excellent story and example of how to step back and set yourself goals 👏 And those are some based Digimon to collect, I bet your binders look beautiful

[@neunmalkro]

I can relate. I got into the hobby again recently. Bought the entirety of the new 151 set, and got borderline addicted. Really have to put effort into avoiding spending any more 😂

[@namonaisonzai9336]

Sister. If i could high-five you i would. Didn’t think i would find someone else who collects male trainer cards 😂 I started it mainly as a meme, to balance out all the people collecting the “waifu’s” but i genuinely enjoy it and teasingly call it my boyfriend collection hahaha. I don’t try to collect them all but just the ones i really deem “boyfriend material” *smirk *

Yes girl ✊ some us got to show appreciation for the husbandos 😂

[@rodry1644]

I cant lie that the whole "gambling" with opening the boosters can be addicting , i decided to focus more on doing decks and ordering cards rather than rely on boosters to get it once i saw how much i had spent... Its fun with people and its fun to trade but remember that we cant survive on card board (yet)

[@strawberrypi]

Singles are always the way, especially when you can get like 5 alts for the price of one box 😅 But I will always enjoy opening a box of a new set, that feeling when you get a good hit 😅

[@DanaKishimoto]

You've encouraged me to start a takase binder when I first saw your koki binder and that'll be my only tcg collection goal for the year I reckon(takase alternate arts can get pricey especially the tournament cards oof)

Takase is such a good binder goal, their art is stunning! I wish you luck friend on your hunt 🫡

[@olliereynolds3940]

I collected every full art trainer from Sword and Shield and I ended up dreading each new set release because of the obligation I set myself! I was incredibly freeing to stop collecting anything Pokemon as it became far too expensive! I now only collect my favourite cards of my favourite Digimon… that is until Disney Lorcana came out 😢

[@strawberrypi]

Oh my goodness LORCANA one of my friends has shown me the app, it’s so intuitive and all I want to do is make an animal themed deck

[@PiannaCh]

ARs have been great for me because they are relatively cheap. I just enjoy looking at a full page of ARs in my binder. For SAR and SR, I've become more picky to keep within my budget.

"Who am I kidding [we] can't afford kids," but we CAN afford $XX on singles every once in a while. I keep an ever-growing singles list, but generally buy singles that are a minimum of 1 year old. Keeping a strict singles budget means I can never get everything I want, and continually chip away at the list over time and prevents burnout. I've also made a binder of trainer cards, organized by generation. Besides full art supporters, I equally enjoy the

I have a singular collection goal with multiple smaller steps (calling it multiple goals makes it feel worse 😂): I want to finally sort out my collection of Magic cards and get it into a bunch of binders/sorted boxes. On the side, however, a different tcg goal that comes with a collection is the goal of starting Digimon and attending events. So, I guess the secondary goal is starting a new collection

[@strawberrypi]

Oh well done! And that makes me super happy to hear you’re getting into Digimon! Maybe I’ll see you one day at an event in the future!

[@brianp6859]

My goal for 2024 is to make more money so i can buy more cards 😂 This is a very important video, though, and focusing your collection goals can make meeting them much more satisfying. I found it really interesting that you keep "open" collection goals, ie as more sets and cards are released you will keep adding to those collections but they will never be "finished". For myself i like to complete things so I like doing master sets as that allows me to actually finish a binder fully then select a new goal/ project. Currently im working towards finishing master sets for pokemon go, silver tempest and obsidian flames. Once thats finished new awakening master set is on the list along with a whole lot of digimon backlog.

Your binders must look so good, I’m always impressed with master sets, they do look incredible when you flick through
