Hi! This a video testing some similar copic colors, so you can avoid buying them in your first set to include more shades or more colors.
The Copic Color System is composed of: 

LETTERS (family*)
+
1st NUMBER (saturation): 0= more saturated / 9 = less saturated
+
2nd NUMBER (tone): 0= lighter, usually transparent / 9= darker, usually more opaque

Ex:
YG03 = Yellow Green very brilliant, medium darkness
YG91 = Yellow Green very dessaturated, light 

You can blend colors by family + saturation (natural blending groups) OR by brightness, varying the 1st number and keeping the 2nd the same. Ex:

NATURAL BLENDING GROUP: 
R00 + R02 + R05 (the family + 1st number still the same) 

SAME BRIGHTNESS BLENDING:
RV42 + R32 + YR02 (the 2nd number still the same)
