As you've probably discovered, getting into Pokemon cards can be quite an expensive leap. Blister or booster packs can be relatively affordable, but when you look at bundles or Trainer Boxes, costs can quickly rise. Thankfully, this week's Black Friday sales can help kick-start your collection.

The internet is awash in Black Friday Pokemon card deals cutting prices on shiny cardboard. If you're just getting started, though, you'll want to prioritize discounts on smaller blisters or battle decks. These will help you build up a collection without a high up-front cost, but there are a few offers on larger options in case you want to jump in with a splash.
