>never was able to get into trading cards of any kind as a kid

Are trading card games functionally a dying hobby?
Magic, Yugioh, Pokemon, they're all unplayable if you're not already entrenched in them
>>
>>58625112
Magic and yugi yeah, but poke is very simple. If I see new people and kids every month or two, that means anyone can get in for cheap
>>
>>58625156
I've been looking into some of the 'metagame evolution' style videos for these different card games. I find trading card games really unique as far as how they work mechanically, and something I've observed is that in each one, in the early years, there's a lot more options for how you want to play.
At some point in each, in order to sell cards, they start adding retardedly unbalanced shit, and the entire ecosystem just collapses into a handful of constructions.
From what I've been able to see, every modern card game has no intermediate skill brackets. You're either playing playground tier games or overtuned meta shit.

I'm sure there's something I'm missing, but it just seems like there's no room in these games to be mediocre, which is a necessary step for anyone who is learning how to play.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm curious about this.
>>
>>58625172
>I'm sure there's something I'm missing
Age categories
Most kids will play with their favorite mons and build shit decks, or use the preconstructed starter decks. Once they get to their teens (or if they have a parent that plays/ed) they will start building meta shit to learn to be competitive.
Also in my area, there's a couple of stores that attract lower skilled players, as most here know the three main stores where everyone goes to win. So the guys that like to enjoy themselves mostly meet at the other stores, and most don't have the top tier decks, they're more like the tier D-B decks you see on ranking lists, or decks they built themselves that they're testing. These stores also have Fun days, where most meta cards are banned.
There's more to the community than competing and going to larger events. Try to find people in your area that don't like to do this, and just enjoy their cards. You'll find there's much more people that play casually than the 5-10 guys that always top at events

The card says Lizardon, not Charizard. The name Charizard is a name exclusive to the English localization of Pokémon and does not exist on Japanese cards, they actually read as "Lizardon" in Japanese. So you technically dont own a charizard card proper.

Overpaying is rare since I only buy singles and for modern I have the bare minimum self control to not buy new sets for the first 2-3 months, while for vintage I just buy bulk and mid-price cards I like when I travel to Japan.
Missing out haunted me especially for some XY and SM stuff (the old team rocket suitcase promos, the Charizard vs Venusaur magazine promo, Mario&Luigi pikas, the 20th anni pika promo, the munch cards) that I will never ever have now, while in the current craze it's impossible to have such cards again because everything TPC prints is in the spotlight 24/7, meaning every cool collaboration means people killing each other in stores, people stealing cargos before they get to the shops, scalping and stealing with a lot of fakes around. See the 1510 chink Mew.

>How do you deal with disappointment?
Pretty good since I'm used to looking at my face in a mirror.
>Overpaying, missing out on a bargain, stuff lile that.
I experience time linearly so I'm filled with cumulative regret about all the poor choices.
>Do you ever regret getting into the hobby?
Every day but at least there is an out where I can just sell everything and get my money back. Could be worse.

You're telling me I have to include the Crown Zenith reprints in my PoGo master set?
everyone else shutup
>>
>>58631035
You can do whatever your little heart desires, theres literally no formal rules when it comes to collecting. You can just make up whatever standard or expectations you want for your own collecting goals and run with it. For me, I mostly collect vintage, but I was watching the modern lads have a ton of fun ripping packs, so I jumped in on 151 back in 2023, and I just decided to stick to 151, as time went on variants and reprints became less of a thing, but it still gave me the odd new thing to track down to add the variants to my collection. Just recently added the Sam's club gengar, dragonite, machamp, and raichu to my binder.
>>
>>58631044
Basically by refining my collecting goals strictly to 151, it gives me an affordable and realistic goal to continue to enjoy the hobby. So I got to enjoy Prismatic Evolutions, Paldean Fates, Stellar Crown, and black star promos and random decks and prizes packs as time went on.
>>
>>58631044
>>58631056
I mostly did that with celebrations, even including the signed "promos" from the WCS decks and any stamped card not from the set. But with PoGo it feels different. I always felt the cards are the same (reprints) but since the art and set symbols changed I wasn't sure about those.
>collecting goals
I have to ask, are you including the bubble mew in your set? Cards like these are what make me want to limit myself to just the ones from the set, but you also inspire me to include all variants by seeing your binders.

>>
>>58631101
I also have the metal gold mew card, but I dont keep it in the binder, because idk, putting metal in a book full pf cardboard felt potentially damaging.
I also dont have the Ultra Ball Stamp Mew from Malaysia Tournaments or the Professor Voltorbs. Maybe one day if I ever have some of my vintage stuff go up significantly for trade. But for now, i'm content with the non-high end competitive scene cards.

Reverse were just a cheap bonus, they never looked as good as real holos. I thought they would be cool so I got a few then I quickly realized how dull they were and never bought one again. It has even kept me from getting the Holon holos.

In 2023 I bought a case of booster bundle displays of 151, and I felt each booster bundle had something good.
I think the trick is buying like a significant portion, to avoid reseals, metal detected skunk packs, and shit like that.
Plus the numbers just help with pull rates.
It used to be nice, lower demand you could literally buy a case of each product.
Now its like if you buy more then a single pack youre a scalper or some shit.
