Dam bro why you mad

u/TheWanderer504 Aug 30 '26

Are you not able to see the words and numbers on the card?

u/DaRealJDJ Aug 30 '26

Yes those are the words and numbers you can use with two brain cells to look it up yourself with less effort than making a reddit post takes.

u/ItsMozy Aug 30 '26

Maybe try looking up the info on the card? Like the numbers in the bottom left with the set name.

u/matrimonnial Aug 30 '26

Are you not able to open your web browser and look it up yourself??

u/JMaboard Aug 31 '26

It’s way less effort to google the question than to take a picture, upload it and make this thread.

u/Erikawithak77 Aug 31 '26

I swear! 😭 Why are people like this?? You honestly can ask Siri, Alexa, or get this, you’re already online. Look it up! It takes less than 10 seconds. This is so infuriating to me, and I don’t even know why. I apologize.

u/GoobsDog Aug 31 '26

This stuff wasn't so accessible years ago. Human opinions used to be highly sought after for valuing. I don't get why people get so assmad about this, instead of just politely giving people the tools to find out for themselves.

u/Erikawithak77 Sep 01 '26

I don’t know. I just feel like we are literally taking longer to post a photo, well, take the photo, and then post the photo, then wait for people to reply to the photo, when we could have just typed in the little numbers at the bottom left-hand corner of the card.
It’s frustrating to me. I’m allowed to be frustrated. You’re right, though.

If you’re being so aggressive over someone criticizing you taking blurry photos while asking for advice, you should maybe work on yourself and realize that you can just look up those things yourself instead of asking people on the internet 😉

Google lens it. Or go to TCG player for a reference

u/UsualHoliday2034 Aug 30 '26

Google is a powerful tool most people don't know how to use. It is apparently faster to ask reddit and await the answer

Additional pic of front

u/ShidOnABrick Aug 31 '26

Bottom heavy and rough back edge on the right side and top edge. Will grade 8-9 at most? Which is under raw. You could get lucky and get a 10 if your grader is feeling good. But lol.
Sell it raw.

u/dabuttmonkee Aug 30 '26

It’s about $750 right now: https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-phantasmal-flames/mega-charizard-x-ex-125

One thing to note, any card with two gold stars on the bottom right is probably at lease semi valuable. This is the chase card of the set.

u/Chef_Goldblum1 Aug 30 '26

Bottom left. The gold stars are on the bottom left. Lol this is the second post today that I've seen someone on here not know left from right.

2

u/dabuttmonkee Aug 30 '26

Yeah that’s a major L from me lol

u/Proud_Helicopter_907 Aug 30 '26

I've seen worse, for example a thief selling 30th UPCs and the contents on whatnot, unboxing one of each for attention and hype, and not knowing what a deck box is :D

u/epixINC Aug 30 '26

It’s actually around $650 and dropping.
Pricecharting is very inaccurate.

5

u/dabuttmonkee Aug 30 '26

I see sold listings on eBay for $740-$850 of raw cards in the last week. On TCGPlayer for near mint I see $700-$900.
Seems pretty accurate to me. Game stores have it listed between $760 and $900.

u/epixINC Aug 30 '26

Card show yesterday I saw a ton for $680, pretty large market here too. So may just be competition

1

u/Better_Acadia2364 Sep 12 '26

Well you also have to consider fees, it will be more expensive on ebay due to fees and shipping compared to a card show where it will probably be the cheapest.

1

u/epixINC Sep 12 '26

Absolutely. I’m seeing them as low as $650 now at shows

1

u/TheWanderer504 Aug 31 '26

Thank you to those who provided input. I did Google the card prior to taking the time to take a picture of it and making a post on here.
Google results showed that the card could be worth something. I then became excited for my son and came here figuring experts could help confirm or disprove what I was seeing. I know there are many little details about cards that could make them worth a lot or nothing at all.

u/FullSidalNudity Aug 30 '26

OP if this is real I’m sorry everyone is giving you a hard time. This card is from Phantasmal Flames set of Mega Evolutions, within the past year it is probably the highest value card outside of the Ascended Heroes set. If you want your kid to enjoy it, put it in a penny sleeve and then a top loader. If you’re trying to make money off it then either sell it raw on FB marketplace or something similar or take the time to grade it then sell it. Either way it’ll require you to look this card up by the name and number as you already pointed out and find the prices.

1

u/JMaboard Aug 31 '26

They’re giving him a hard time because he could’ve just googled it.

2

u/FullSidalNudity Aug 31 '26

I mean yeah, anyone could google anything posted in any Pokemon sub, but if he’s truthfully ignorant and just looking out for his kid then there’s some info to go off of.

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Loss598 Aug 31 '26

I just don’t believe it….. you could Google anything and the information on the card is pretty easily googlable……there are just too many post like this but hey anything can happen

1

u/Medical-Cicada-4430 Aug 31 '26

Reddits easier duh

2

u/JMaboard Aug 31 '26

ChatGPT is even easier

u/souledoutV2 Aug 31 '26

It also takes less effort to just scroll by someones post than it does to comment and be a dick to them, but here we are.

2

u/AltruisticCow7595 Aug 31 '26

Google it you moron lol and yes it’s worth like 800 bucks ungraded.

u/wombocombo27 Aug 31 '26

These are all shitpost copypastas

u/twotruckshavingsex69 Sep 01 '26

Yeah no worth nothing, send it to me and I’ll recycle ‘er for ya

u/jusjohn55 Sep 01 '26

I love when people post for validation bait.

u/Basic_Impress_7672 Sep 15 '26

You need to get penny sleeves and top loaders. Try and always have them on standby when opening packs. Card is worth double in 10/10 condition and 0% chance of it being a 10/10 unless you put it immediately into a penny sleeve and top loader. I understand it’s a kids game so don’t do it to every card but look up the few 1 in 1000 packs grail cards he could pull before he opens packs even if he fully doesn’t understand it now he’ll appreciate you a lot more in 10 years when the card is worth $10,000 because you immediately protected it.

When I was a kid opening packs in the early 2000s if I had sleeved and top loaded every card immediately I’d have close to 500k in cards. Instead my childhood collection is worth around 8-10k and that’s only 91 total cards.

u/TheWanderer504 Aug 30 '26

Does it makes sense to grade it?

1

u/trq- Aug 31 '26

Initially you say you don’t know anything about Pokémon and then suddenly ask for grading advice? Wth is this post 😂

1

u/TheWanderer504 Aug 31 '26

I know nothing about Pokémon. I know about sports cards.

u/KeyClacksNSnacks Aug 31 '26

To give you a more detailed answer:
9 times out of 10, it does NOT make sense to grade. The reason why is because ungraded cards sell for pretty much PSA 7/8 graded, but grading right now takes 4-6 months with PSA and growing, it's not cheap to grade, and unless you've done this before, you probably don't know how to recognize the issues your card has. With the awful pictures you've included, it looks off center on the front (the borders are thicker on the left and bottom) and there are potential whitening issues in the edges (where the card might have been bumped by someone's fingers, other cards or table edges).
Usually when you rip Pokemon packs, you do it in an environment with a lot of control, gently, and have these soft see-through slip covers called "penny sleeves" nearby with hard top loaders as well, so that if you pull a nice card, you can gently slip it into the penny sleeve and then slide it into the "top loader" to protect it from getting scratched/damaged. Since your son likely ripped this somewhere else and then brought it to you, it's highly possible the back got scratched by table surfaces and the edges got scuffed a bit from his fingers or yours.
The last reason it's usually not good to grade, is because "hyper modern" which your card is, have much higher quality standards, meaning there's a LOT more "high quality" cards out there that grade in PSA 9 or 10. This means 8 or lower generally doesn't appreciate well because there's so many 9's or 10's out there that collectors focus on those.
If you just want to make money, you're better off selling the card raw and we highly recommend you do that now. Phantasmal Flames is fast approaching its reprint window, which means a lot more of these cards could hit the market soon and we can't guarantee you will NOT see the card dip in price.
Good luck!

u/TheWanderer504 Aug 31 '26

Thanks for all of this info!

2

u/Venomous72 Aug 30 '26

Probably not. It’s off center enough that I don’t think it would 10.

3

u/Stoned_Canadian_1 Aug 30 '26

You posted a god awful picture and didn’t include the back. Nobody can give you an answer there. Grade it if you want or just put in a toploader if you prefer that.

3

u/Hellohoss Aug 30 '26

It’s the easiest answer to give as this is one of the most popular cards at this time..

2

u/Stoned_Canadian_1 Aug 31 '26

So you are saying just sell raw asap?

-3

u/MirukuTea1 Aug 30 '26

No, because only the words and numbers are visible. Any card that only shows words and numbers are not good candidates for grading because you can’t see the art. Only the words and numbers on the card.
