RE: How to grow the contents of your binder?
I would just buy a box or two of the latest set (Plasma Blast), as those are the most sought after cards.
The pull rates are more random now but that can work in your favor if you're lucky.

RE: How to grow the contents of your binder?
So, I could get 2 boxes, but what about maybe a tin case(12 tins) when they come out and then still have like 50 bucks? I am slightly scared of the ratios.
I can possibly buy a tin case and a box

RE: How to grow the contents of your binder?
Usually, it is 2 of the most recent set, and then 2 others. One of the two others is usually a recent set, and the other is like 3-5 sets back iirc.

Should I pay around $200 for 4X Virizion EX and 4X Genesect EX to complete my deck or should I buy 2 Plasma Blast booster boxes and hope for the best? I'm not a collector, strictly a player so I'm leaning towards just buying the singles. Those singles are pretty expensive though as each card goes for $30 a piece.

Ok, what would you buy if you had around 200-250 and wanted to start a binder @omahanime?

What should I buy for 200-250 dollars to start out a binder. I quit a half a year ago, and I am starting again and want to start up a binder.
Buy the singles. You wont pull 4 of each of those in two boxes.
RE: How to grow the contents of your binder?
Well, I have a TDK deck, and that is about it. I want to start a brand new binder from scratch. I'm thinking about just buying two Plasma Blast boxes.

RE: How to grow the contents of your binder?
It really depends on what it is you want in the binder. Are you looking to complete sets? Have a large variety of trade-able cards? Just have a bunch of any cards? Would you prefer to open packs yourself or buy singles? Different people collect different things.
Since it seems like you're also playing, I'd suggest singles intermixed with 1-2 boxes of Plasma Blast. This should give you a nice mix of playability (some good EXes and some nice trade-able trainers like Catcher). I say 1-2 boxes because it would depend on how much you feel like spending on singles, but there's some nice collectible and playable cards from earlier in the BW series as well. However, this is just a very general suggestion based on what I've seen you posting elsewhere since I don't really have a specific idea of what it is you want to have in your binder.

Well, I want a trad-able binder, and I figured Plasma Blast is the best all around with the most expensive cards bar Tropical Beach. If I only opened one box, what singles would you recommend me buy? Should I just buy some like 10-20 dollar ex's or FA supporters or what. I'm not really trying to collect anything and I don't care if I open packs or buy singles, but everybody knows opening packs is more fun.

People on Heyfonte think I should just buy singles. What do I do?

RE: How to grow the contents of your binder?
I've recently just started playing the TCG again also.
After about a month, I feel confident that my trade binder is quite trade-able and worthwhile to look through.
I personally would recommend balancing out on what you purchase. Although buying the single cards that you need for your deck will help you out with finishing it off, it will still leave your trades at a bare minimum. I would avoid spending money on buying single cards to make your trades look better as I find that it is the least efficient way to make your Trades higher rated. Purchasing Booster Boxes I believe is the best way to make your Binder better - I would recommend NOT buying certain sets to find specific cards for decks, as of course the odds aren't entirely in your favour. Also, you must put into account what sets are worth better to purchase. Of course, buying the oldest set in the competitive format will mean you are spending £99 on cards that will only be legal for another year. I myself ONLY purchase boosters of the most recent set, as the trade value for those cards are 100x better. With the cards you don't need from the sets, you can use them to trade with other people.. Meaning you won't miss out from getting cards from older sets you need!
To make sure you are balanced with what you purchase, I would recommend purchasing the "harder to get cards" for the deck you need, and then using the left over money you have to purchase Booster Boxes. The way I did it to make my Darkrai deck was by finding all the stables, and then purchasing them which only lead to about £50-£60, with my left over cash I brought half a box which, although didn't make my binder look incredible, it started to look more like a trade folder rather than just a bunch of random cards I have found from a couple packs or online stores
I hope this helps! : )
