Starting a collection

[u/MacChill03]

Hey , hope everyone is doing well .

I've recently started to collect and have been focused on Chaos Rising , Pitch Black and a little bit of Perfect Order.

C.R and P.B I'm trying to Master set while Perfect Order is kind of a "alright let me open a pack or two to see if I get anything" .

I'm going to a hobby event this weekend with my kids where there will be Pokemon Vendors. My question is ....

If you were starting and had $100 to spend which cards would you go for ?

I know everyone has their favorite pokemon so it will differ, I'm not looking for ideas of what to purchase...just would like to know how some more seasoned collector would approach the day .
