Pokémon card advice

[JDog]

My kid turns 7 next week. He's always asking for packs if we see them out shopping. Was thinking it might be cool to get him a box so he can rip crazy packs. I think he'd be really into it.

What the heck should I get? From where? I know nothing. He gets whatever packs because I don't think he knows much more than me.

Thanks for any advice! Have a great weekend.

I have the same problem

Most shops carry them now. I am not into it, but did rip some back in the 90s when the craze first started. I don't have kids into it so I am not an expert, but most shops I have gone into have the packs and boxes or you can also pick them up online. My guess is that if you picked up a box of the newest ones your kid would be thrilled, or you could always contact a shop and ask what they would recommend as they have to stock what sells. I would look around online. I know the Collector Store sells them and has free shipping on orders over $100, whereas Dave and Adams sells them, but you would have to pay shipping if your order was under $200. I would search around for the best price or make some calls to shops to see what they recommend or maybe you can find a shop that carries them locally.
