Im having a bit of a 'throw my toys out the pram' kind of moment lol Basically I started collecting burning shadows as a set and I have all carda except most of the secret rares. What started off as a nice hobby to casually collect cards has turned into a professionals only if you want to own them all.
Reason being some secret rares like charizard and guzma got anywhere up to £70 for one card! Whilst this may seem like nothing to you guys who seriously collect psa cards for thousands of dollars, to me I cant seem to justify spending that much on one card which will go into a plastic wallet and never be looked at again. It makes the price of all secret rares at £700 actually seem reasonable based on how rare they are.
Its no longer a kids hobby if you want them all is my point, better be ready to part with some serious cash. I may as well buy 50 booster packs at £100 and pray i get any secret rares but I remember even then when i bought 40 packs, i only got like 3 secret rares. They're TOO rare imo. Its causing the prices to skyrocket.
Were they always this hard to get as a child? I do remember with the base set as a kid only a few people were lucky to have a super rare holo card. Perhaps times have never changed and kids are never attempting to get them all. Its only as an adult I finally realise how serious a hobby it is.
