Are trading cards a good investment?

While some rare cards can increase in value, investing requires research, patience, and an understanding of market trends. Ultimately, you have to weigh the cost; packs can be pretty cheap, but the scalping problem has an impact. It can be a lot of fun, so it’s something I’d encourage but caution at the same time.

Where’s the best place to buy trading cards?

The trusted options that don’t jack up the prices are going to be your big retail stores both online and in store. You may even be lucky and have a local card shop that sells at MSRP. Pokémon has their own online retail store called Pokémon Center. Personally, I stay clear from resellers because the cost is typically much higher than MSRP. Plus, you have to be cautious of counterfeit cards on auction sites.
