Although not complete sets, would also recommend collecting the trainer galleries from brilliant stars, astral radiance, lost origins and silver tempest

[@KietTran-jr6bq]

That’s what I’m doing actually haha

[@theparalyzedarmy3836]

SV base is one of the cheaper main sets u can finish coming in about 500$. Celebrations is about 200$. Base set will set u back about 700-900$. Crown zenith including trainer galleries will set u back about 800-900$

[@TagTab637]

700-900$ for a 20+ year old set is not too shabby

[@jordantorrilla1803]

I wish celebrations cost $200, I dropped about £650 and im still missing charizard. Plus I had to buy the magikarp. In the UK a complete set of celebrations is about £400

[@theparalyzedarmy3836]

@@jordantorrilla1803 it does. It may even be sub 200$ now. I got my entire set for 210$

[@pariss1445]

You can also try to collect the cards for a single Pokemon you like, for example Dragonite.

[@PokiPair]

We love watching you videos as new collectors! We started collecting again about 2 months ago and decided to start out YT to capture all of it. We had Base set, Jungle and Fossil as kids and will complete that set first. Then we dived right into VSTAR Universe and 25th Anniversary set, loved both and will complete them. After that, our first set was Scarlet & Violet and recently got Pokemon 151. We cannot believe that we literally did exactly what you suggested. Thanks for your videos, we love hearing your updates and we actually acted on your advice to buy some singles.

[@FrostKing104]

I've just recently decided to get into collecting Pokemon cards-I already have some not-bad ones from when I was a kid and thankfully had the idea to keep them safe in one of the tins, but you've been invaluable for learning all the details of Pokemon card collecting. Thanks a lot!

[@karlycreates]

Great advice! I've been diving deep into this hobby lately as a mom, and I think I'm into this now more than my son. ^_^ I grew up watching the animation on tv after school, and am excited to complete some sets.

[@trainingpartnerdre3949]

Looking great Jake!

[@spian]

Crowth Zenith has some incredible cards. Whether you want to complete a set graded or non graded the prices are great rn

[@atc06jh]

I just completed the master set of celebrations two days ago. Took almost 2 years of ripping packs but it was a fun time.

[@changesmat432]

Surely crown zenith sealed will sky rocket in price in future. Imo, it's the best modern set (aside from 151 to come) and the pull rates are amazing. Long term investment i think

[@g0d53nd]

Completely agree on the Base set, especially buying them as singles and having fun with it.

[@respectmygangster7584]

Solid info as always Jacob!

[@chest2904]

I agree with your selection of sets, especially the "Scarlet & Violet" Base Set bc it just startet now. Also the upcoming "151" set is great bc it's like the 1999 Base Set just newer and also (IMO very cool) in order of the Pokedex-No.😄 for me personally I just started to get back into collecting and after looking at older sets I really wanna collect the Neo (Genesis to Destiny) sets bc Johto is my favourite Region, the artworks on these cards are beautiful and also the sets have very few cards (most cards in one set is around 115 cards)

[@cartagena818]

I’m really liking you’re videos , I just started my own way to be a Pokémon collector 🙏🏻🔥 and you’re really helpful

[@TwicebakedJake]

Hey! Welcome to the hobby! 🙌

[@pokedadsam9041]

If you start doing the sets on a tcgplayer cashback day; it helps a lot. I bought some of the bigger holos for base set and fossil on a cashback day and was able to finish jungle almost entirely with the cashback. And if you are doing it in a budget put a celebrations copy of the holos in place do the big 3.

[@billyworks3702]

I’m waiting for the next cash back day to finish crown zenith

[@CNT_farmer]

I've just started collecting again and ive found Crown Zenith and Obsidian Flames to be a really good starting point because of the current prices of boosters and the ETB's! I really enjoy the idea of getting atleast one ETB for each new set moving forward.

[@AshHayBrax]

Pokemon Cards I would say currently is one of the best thing going on for collectors. It's not hard to see why. The company itself has been expanding in almost ALL areas to get attentions from audience from all areas. The demographic they covered ranges from the youngest kid to the oldest adult. Movie, series, events, collaborations, collectibles, merchandise, retails. I would say I never regretted going into Pokemon cards collection since 2019. I am currently at a net gain of about 50% on my portfolio. Mostly from sealed products mainly and limited artists cards and collaboration cards. Good luck to all collectors.

[@sobblechao]

I'd say start at anything from astral radiance to current sets, since I feel anything before astral radiance nowadays is hard to get and quite expensive, whereas from astral radiance to now its much easier and cheaper

[@Trizizs]

Just finished base set and loving it. Been debating about another set and I just discovered Japanese vending series. Gorgeous and decently priced vintage cards.

[@TwicebakedJake]

Vending series is great. And so many unique art you can't get in English

[@elfenliedtou]

did you get the set graded or just the cards themselves?

[@MisterStubstep]

All great sets to start especially celebrations

[@PeskyTap]

Agree with all except sv base. Paldea evolved is much more fun for a starting collector to get into i think

[@TOPGLOBALFY]

ayyyy Jake !!! nice video as always

[@rajivsoodoo4713]

Awesome video bro

[@TeXmEx26SoX]

Been slowly pickup up all the Galarian Gallery cards as prices have come down. Last big hitters I need are Mewtwo Vstar and gold arceus. Somehow I managed the pull all the other golds in less than 100 packs

[@remz94]

great video!

[@Squatle]

Wish I had this video when I got back into it

[@Chickentorchic]

Sad thing is in NL you pay around €12-€15 euros per booster packs for Celebrations. UPC's are also around €500. Meaning it's about the same prices as Evolving skies (in terms of pack price). :(

[@coolestshibe]

Love the channel. When are you going to go live again and do a tier list on the Trainer Gallery?

[@TwicebakedJake]

This Saturday. I have it all set up. Should be a fun stream! Lots of cool cards

[@coolestshibe]

@@TwicebakedJake looking forward to it!

[@ozilcraft2799]

great video

[@michagoab9681]

Hey, great videos! Do You recommend collecting Jp version of 151 or Eng one?

[@jsk_487]

Do you like the Scarlet and violet base set collected will be worth something one day?

[@Dustin_Mc]

A little bit harder and longer of a chase could be trying to look out for E-series cards!

[@kevinlin9578]

Detective Pikachu TCG booster set is easy to complete - I got the full set within 2 collector chests worth of packs. Singles max out at $8 highest for Charizard, everything else is $4 or less

[@AlbertoJMarcano]

I'm missing the Gold Charizard from the UPC to master set it. Bummer.

[@ASCX770]

When I got back into pokemon and sports card again. I have the Mcdonald 25th set.

[@reverserift3217]

Will obsidian flames be a good set or no?

[@Jonnyhasheart]

What second hand markets do you recommend? Especially for boosters from past gens/ celebrations packs. Because I’m struggling to find anything and I hear Amazon is shady to buy from. Thanks!

[@WerewolfEnt]

Hey Jake! Can you please make a video showing us some of the trusted vendors on Buyee you do business with? Many of us want to buy Japanese products but are so skeptical. Maybe you could help us out and let us know who you trust.

[@pokemonseoul6870]

I a pro at pokemon and still want to get the last 8'9 cards I need

[@lostvince]

Jake would you be talking about your watch collection?

[@TwicebakedJake]

How do you know I have a watch collection? 👀

[@izzy9ish]

Hi Jake, could you do a video on information on the Pokemon Japanese Promo XY 276/XY-P Charizard EX Art Book 2016 PSA 10 I have one and it’s my grail just not to much info on it out there much appreciated thank you!

[@TwicebakedJake]

Very cool card!

[@poliwagkid]

I just came back because of the 151 set lol

[@flimflams6525]

We think alike cause those are the sets I have completed lol

[@MrRandygtgod]

I completed Base set 2 instead Holos looked better IMO

[@SimeonGTA]

I love these vids but im a kid and cant afford. Are u doing any giveaways soon?

[@darp0000]

You want to complete a mainline set as cheap as possible - Emerging Powers

[@okeydokeymon]

I know people don't love Pokemon Go but it's a small set so not overwhelming, lots of OG Pokemon and is super cheap to pick up right now. P.S. First line of your caption is a copypasta error :)

[@TwicebakedJake]

Agreed and fixed. Thank you!

[@YourDaddyismydaddy]

Agree with all of them except scarlet base. That set was absolutely horrible

[@oceansky6207]

He does say if you want to learn how collect for future sets.

[@TwicebakedJake]

Yup, it's a kick off point for new collectors.

[@MrToco23]

Missed the point...

[@greenturtle5616]

I disagree. S/V base set is the best base by far. X/Y, S/M, and SW/SH we’re great and nostalgic but S/V base is better and it is mostly due to Illustration Rares.

[@Zanon]

And welcome to the haaaaaaabby

[@maverickbonato8164]

Do a tutorial on how to get a better job to get more cards too pls haha

[@TwicebakedJake]

You should watch my talk with pokeradar on his podcast. We talk about this exactly actually

[@maverickbonato8164]

@@TwicebakedJake I was joking but man, sure I will lol

[@poliwagkid]

I don't like the Celebrations cards because of the pikachu logo in it, it ruins the design of the classic cards lol

[@SweetKingTanner]

Hey can someone help me out with a fun and rewarding hobby?

[@hiimanthony6959]

To kick off your collection*

[@TwicebakedJake]

Fixed*

[@dominickmagoon5731]

Shoot i would of put evolving cries in for pulling extreemly awsome Eevee-lution cards. English or jap. Or Korean ive been going to Korean lately due to the way the words are written looks great. I pulled 2 umbreon vmax alt 1 bgs10 1 bgs 9.5 english still tring to get my other guy the glaceon vmax such a beautiful card underated but personally 2nd best alt even above ray boy but ita rayboy higher fan base lol

[@TwicebakedJake]

I don't think I can put it on the list. I'd probably get a lot of angry collectors that got no good pulls in my inbox!
