I came into the hobby around may of last year and the first thing i did was buy every illustration rare from every main series set. I spent about $1400 in total on all of these and would be kicking myself now if i hadnt. I was looking at cards like metagross being $6 and groudon being $35 and decided to just go for it since all the hype was at the time in swsh. I also bought the new ir’s from stellar and surging as soon as the sets dropped because i felt they were way undervalued. For instance, Mesprit was $6, skarmory was $11, and ceruledge was $20 when the set released. Latios isnt here because it stays in a display case next to latias(why isnt it an sir😞)
I also put paldean fates 3 ir’s there because paldea evolved has 36 ir’s so i wanted them to fit perfectly in 4 pages since it is my favorite ir set. I was wanting to eventually add 151 and shrouded ir’s to the binder and do have most of my favorites from those but i waited too long and dont feel like spending $50 on a dusclops.
What is the item,set,etc that you are most thankful to have gotten before this ridiculous spike in prices?
