My brother got me into it because his boss just made $500 on one card. So, now I am in the business of collecting--not for money; for the artwork.

Good idea to keep it strictly for collecting. It turns into gambling real quick chasing cards. I really like Eevee and Snorlax a lot, they both fit my personality well. I have a much bigger yugioh collection than Pokémon but I bought a lot of Japanese packs for a while. I prefer those cos they don’t allow gambling for kids so some stuff isn’t as rare to pull and I just like look more. I get these little acrylic card stands on aliexpress pretty cheap to display the ones I really like that I want to show off
I also loved Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid. I love that artwork more but I decided to get into Pokemon because a lot of artists on YouTube suggest drawing pokemon to learn how to draw in 3D as an exercise. So I needed them for reference. Of course I could have just looked it up on Google images but having physical cards feels so much better. Even though my current collection is only worth four dollars according to an app my brother downloaded and scanned them all in. 30 dollars worth of cards vs four dollar worth lmao. I am definitely just in it for art purposes and inspiration.
