Welcome to The Frugal Trainer! I’m Chloe, a longtime Pokémon fan who first fell in love with the hobby over 20 years ago. Now, I’m back to rebuild my entire Pokédex from scratch—on a budget. Join me as I unbox packs and make strategic trades.

Thanks! Appreciate the tip 🙏🙏 it’s a shame that all the cards don’t have a bit more value but I’ve seen the cards I used to have 20 years ago and even the standard cards are crazy valuable now so I guess it will just improve with time 😅

Ahhhhhh got you! Did you know when you pre-ordered that they were going to be as popular as they are or did you just buy because you were interested and get lucky?

Thank you so much for your perspective as a player 💕 so having gold cards is kinda a flex? Something to show off to your opponent? Sorry if this is a silly question 😅

I’m in Australia, do you happen to know if there’s one for Aus? Also that card appears to not be a shiny. Does it not make a difference if it’s shiny? Sorry I may be missing something here, my knowledge is 20 years outdated 😅

That’s so odd 😕 does it happen often that you have a 10 and you’re sure of it and they for no apparent reason give it a 9? Is there not another grading company?

Ahh okay! Cool either way! 😁

Nice!! Silly question but why did one get graded a 9? It looks impeccable. I’ve never had cards graded before 😅

They look to be in excellent condition, why did you get 9s and not 10s?

Thank you so much 🙏 I knew by the 3 stars I had something good but wasn’t sure how good 😅
Why aren’t the others worth much? I thought shinies were always kinda the thing everyone wants?
Hope you don’t mind a heap of questions 🙏💕

So tired of Charlotte being handed everything. Not watching smackdown anymore if they just hand her another title at the expense of someone who’s been working week in, week out.

I used to own a generation 1 shiny Charizard. It was probably my favourite card. I recently found out that this card now sells for about $25,000. Absolutely wild! I’m so devastated I didn’t keep mine.
I traded some of my best cards for that Charizard.
It’ll always be the biggest regret I have.
