I got some interest to collect them.

Which one to go for?

Slab (PSA10?) (PSA9?)? Single?

:unsure:

Sealed boxes or PSA10s only... :o

I check online.

They say don't go for single as hardly you will get hit.

PSA 10 vs PSA 9 = The price huge difference. Usually raw price similar as PSA 9.

Correct?

I still learning in process. :)

Yeah i don't really open boosters, i just go straight for the card or slab i want.

And yes no point getting PSA9 or lower unless it's some vintage card. Although there is a possibility you crack the PSA9 slab and regrade it to a 10, end of the day is human on the other end who grade your card :o

Pokemon originates in Japan and there are collectors. You can try to get 2nd hand when u visit Japan.

If you just want to keep (for the art) and not resell in the future you can get the korean or Chinese.

You may want to look at the wordings because I prefer japanese language on the cards, and japanese should have more quality control. English misprints may have value also

Usually need to tear to check.

Others will be print quality, the feel of the card, and the price u paying.

I don't buy psa boxes so u have to ask the others. All scalping already so

1. Pay for the cheaper ones using shopee vouchers, check reviews of store.
2. Camp for Pokemon store Lazada release.
