What packs to open at this budget?
Hey guys!
I'm a complete novice to TCG (I only have a 1st edition Charizard in horrible condition I pulled in 1998 lol)
I'm looking to open a bundle of packs for the nostalgia hit and collecting (not interested in reselling or even selling hits, with the exception of giving some hits to some of the little kids at my church).
What boxes can I buy that are $100-150 with decent artwork?
A friend of mine said he'd sell me some at 80% market value since I'm new.
