Newly back to collecting Pokemon….

and I'm really shocked at how hard it's becoming to pick up Surging Sparks.

So I'm newly back into collecting and decided the best way in would be to try and collect a set of Surging Sparks. I had an ETB and been buying some of thr 3 pack blisters. Have a good collection going but I'm starting to see that places are selling out.

Is that it? When a new set comes out do you only have like 2 weeks to buy all thr packs you might need to oull every card? Is this what it's always like? If it it, I wont bother again. I don't have the money to buy 10 booster boxes and 10 ETBs on the day of release.

Makes me sad that people are just buting box and after to just keep them on a shelf when people actually want to collect and play the game.
