Let me say sorry in advance for making such a general post. I haven't been in the trading card game for a long, long time. Although I'm at the ripe old age of 26 now, I've really got into collecting various things, and have a desire to get back into Pokemon trading card collecting. (I have no interest in playing the trading card game, just collecting).
Problem is, I don't really know where to start! I know Ebay is probably my best bet, but as a collector who'll be starting with zero cards, I'm not sure which series of cards I should try to collect first. Does anyone have any recommendations or a good pathway for a newbie collector? Obviously I'm aware that base set cards may get a little pricey, and although I have funds to be able to start a decent collection, I'm not at the point where I'll be able to buy base set booster boxes anytime soon. :D I'm not particularly bothered about acquiring cards in a certain order, for what it's worth.
Thanks very much in advance for any help and recommendations.
