Is 30th Celebration Worth Collecting?
Anniversary sets are always popular. Celebrations (2021) and 151 (2023) both sold out quickly and became long-term collector favourites. With an all-foil card list, 30 Pikachu cards and the Classic Collection, 30th Celebration has everything it needs to follow the same path. If there's a card you really want, buying singles is often cheaper than chasing it in packs.
