    For the high schoolers and younger

    How do all of you get your cards? I see kids with TONS of expensive cards. How do you guys have the funds? Work? I ask because I worked and some money went to cards. I NEVER got money from family though. So my PC means more to me seeing that I built it up with my own money.

    I think it's their parents who pay, I'm 15, consider myself having pretty good cards (Cup Foundations Auto /10, Limited Logos) and I win 20$ a week so I save for a long time then buy a good card

    Ok then do you feel like it is less as satisfying? Because you may not of worked hard , or at all, for the money?

    yea i think parents pay for it, i'm 16 and i sometimes get some spending $ for cards but i find it hard to save up so i don't really have any amazing cards. but i also get $20 a week so i usually pick up a blaster or try to save for a mid-end hobby box.

    Senior in college, but back in high school, and still now it's primarily funded by credit cards, student grants, and the occasional "hook me up" job from friends/family.

    Are you sure they are kids? Expensive cards are not intented for kids, impossible to follow the parade at $100-350/pack. There are multiple ways to have a good job that you will like and pays well. To get a university grade (bachelor, master's degree, PhD) is one option. It depends what you want to do in life.
