Starting my Pokémon Journey! ⚡️ New Collector Seeking Advice & Spare Cards

Hi everyone!

I've finally decided to take the plunge and start my very first Pokémon card collection. I'm brand new to the hobby, and honestly, the excitement is huge! Whether it's a rare holographic or just a basic common card, I'm thrilled to learn about them all.

Since I am starting from zero, I'm looking for a little help to get my collection off the ground:

●Advice: What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started?

●Spare Cards: If you have any duplicates or "bulk" boxes gathering dust, I would be incredibly grateful to give them a home.

●Community: I'm just happy to be here and meet some fellow trainers!

There is absolutely no pressure, but if you have some extras you're happy to share, you'd be making my day. Thanks for being such a welcoming community!
