About
Hey — I'm the person behind Average Pokemon Collector. Thanks for stopping by.
Why “Average”?
Because I'm not the person dropping $500 on a booster box every week. I'm not chasing every chase card or treating my collection like a stock portfolio. I collect because I love Pokemon, I love the art on the cards, and opening packs is genuinely one of my favorite things to do.
“Average” doesn't mean boring — it means relatable. Most collectors aren't whales. Most of us are budgeting for that ETB, getting excited over a $3 holo, and just enjoying the hobby. That's who this site is for.
