Honestly, Pokémon proxies are a lifesaver if you’re on a budget. I’ve been using them for months now, and no one’s batted an eye at my local scene. Just be transparent about it, and most players are cool.
The only downside is that they’re not tournament-legal in official events, so if you’re planning to go pro, you’ll need the real deal eventually. But for casual play? Totally worth it.
I’d recommend checking out Etsy or MakePlayingCards for decent quality proxies. Just avoid super sketchy sites, or you might end up with cards that look like they were printed on a potato lol.
