The granddaddy of all trading card games, Magic: The Gathering popularised the idea of trading cards, and has been going strong for over three decades since.
Whether you're wanting to crack packs or go for the very best, though, Pokemon is an excellent way to get into the trading part of trading card games. The rarest cards only show up in auction once in a blue moon, and even then often go for hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you want to get into the big-time collecting, though, be prepared to drop some serious cash. If that isn't enough to you, Pokemon regularly releases special products, such as 2021's Celebrations or 2023's Crown Zenith, which give you the chance to get exclusive promo cards not found anywhere else! Plenty of people are way more into finding and showing off their rare Pokemon Trading Card Game cards more than they are playing the game, and Pokemon is more than happy to oblige.Īlongside the regular cards, every Pokemon expansion is bursting with secret rares with glorious full-art, special holo foiling, and more to make cracking booster packs feel more exciting. The cool thing about TCGs is that they're collector's items just as much as they are a game.
