Hi everyone.
I have just restarted collecting again, after 20+ years after an impulse purchase of a pack of ‘brilliant stars’ in my local shop and need some advice.
I’m not interested in making money, or even owning particularly valuable cards. What I want to do is collect cool cards of Pokémon which I recognise. I played Pokémon red, blue and yellow way back in my childhood so am mainly interested in the original 151 Pokémon as they are the ones I know, other than a few others from the newer generation.
As I’m involving my son into this as well I want to buy booster packs to build my collection mainly as he enjoys opening them and seeing what we can pull. Although I wouldn’t be against buying single cards down the line.
My question is around the types of boosters. The one I bought was ‘brilliant stars’ I think and other than a Steelix I didn’t recognise any other pulls. So what packs would I need to buy to get some (not necessarily all) original gen Pokémon? Would it just be the ‘Scarlett and violet’ boosters or are they scattered throughout all of the packs?
I really just want to collect some cool cards that I recognise and can involve my son in this world. So any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks if you’ve made it this far.
