Obtaining Cards

Hey guys! Trang here. Sorry I haven't been posting the last couple months but I've been extremely busy. Today, I want to talk about how to obtain cards for the unlimited format.

As you have already seen in the last few posts, the most common decks include lots of old and out of print cards. You can't get most of them in booster packs or tins. What I've found the best way to obtain cards is buying singles online. (If you didn't catch it, that is buying 1 card at a time). I just wanted to explain some of the sites and methods that I use in order to find out how to get the best deal.

First of all, I would suggest searching through multiple sites. I generally look through Pokemonforever, Amazon, Professor Oak, eBay, Stop2Shop, Troll and Toad, Cool Suff Inc., Collector's Cache, Epic Gaming, Gaming Underground, Untapped Games, Card Rush, XTreme Games, Meta-Gaming, Tome2, Kirwan's Game Store, The Game Academy, JJ Cardstore, Raven's Nest Games, Amazing Discoveries, MTG Deals, and many more. After reading, or more likely skipping, most of that list, you're probably wondering how I manage to do that for every card. Believe it or not, I actually only check 3 sites: pokemonforever.net, shop.tcgplayer.com, and www.pokellector.com. The 2 latter sites index multiple other sites and make it easy to find the best price. If you look at these 3 in a matter of a few moments, you can quickly and efficiently find most cards for 25 or 50 cents with shipping included. On some sites, I recommend you buy all of your cards at once since shipping is counted per order not per card.

Using this technique, you can VERY EASILY put together a competitive deck for around $30. If any readers have any tips, PLEASE POST IN THE COMMENTS. It would be great if anyone else has some nice sites to find good cards cheap, reviews on some sites above, or other techniques for finding Pokemon cards. As always, thanks for reading! (I should start posting every few days again)
