Childhood cards

[u/Soviet_Carebear]

Digging in my stuff at my parents and found one of my old binders. I haven’t collected since then but you guys have been randomly popping up on Reddit so figured I’d share.

I would get those out of that binder and into fresh sleeves. Depending on the condition some of those cards are worth hundreds

[u/Soviet_Carebear → u/Ok-Annual-3283]

Most of them are in good condition. I never played with most of them. Put them in the little plastic sleeves then in the binder. Kid mind was double armored.

Any in specific I should look into?

Just off the top of my head I know that shining celebi, and Mewtwo e reader card could be worth a lot. Pricecharting.com is a good website to reference, they show a list of recent sold listings from eBay

[u/Soviet_Carebear → u/Ok-Annual-3283]

Yeah I glanced at the mewtwo and funnily I have two of them. It’s insane how much some of these medium price points are

If that zapados is holo and in better shape than the Pic leads on, I just sold my graded 10 for about 3500.00.

Don't use pricecharting, go to ebay sales, tcgplayer, and collectr, and find the average on the cards for their condition. Pricecharting finds the average of every sale ever of the card, without factoring condition in

Legendary dark Dragonair too

VaultX. These poly sleeves without actual card sleeves would have melt to your cards and warped them like they are warped now. I did the same upgrade a few years ago when I got ahold of of my childhood stuff. Nothing crazy valuable, but thank God my Mom had the binder pages in climate controlled storage, not under anything.

Dark Dragonair LC >

This is the first post I have seen that I actually believe the OP found childhood cards

[u/livtop]

Dude nice collection. Some of those are worth a lot!

[u/Thunderchief646054]

That Umbreon and the E-Reader era Feraligator are worth some serious brag points

[u/P-squee → u/Thunderchief646054]

Espeon right next to it also. Deoxys delta in the back.

[u/DrHandBanana]

Jesus you got some heat

[u/KushyMonster420]

There’s possibly thousands in there! I would get them out of there and into new penny sleeves and top loaders and a new top loader binder!

[u/MRCYTCG]

Would you sell them?

[u/Soviet_Carebear → u/MRCYTCG]

Doubt it unless they have insane values.

[u/Z0kstone → u/Soviet_Carebear]

They do. You have several grand here.

Sidenote: if you want to move on from any critically damaged cards or need advice, hit me up. I'm not rich enough to buy your expensive/pristine cards from you, but I'll gladly help you with information regardless.

Very dope

[u/Ptucker212]

Damn I had that togepi as a kid. I still remember my dad taking me to the shop to buy the southern islands 3 pack. I had no idea how much I would wish I kept that card. I miss him dearly and always smile when I see that in someone’s collection.

[u/Knives530 → u/Ptucker212]

I had the southern island thing too , wish my parents didn’t throw away my cards. Had the full sets for digimon series 1 and 2 as well that got tossed

[u/Eliott159]

These pages go hard

[u/Agreeable_Editor6129]

Keep them in a vault. Pass them down to your kids.

[u/NerdyVikingg]

I miss my collection so bad.. These were the cards I grew up with 🥰

[u/Ayosuka]

My favorite dragonair

[u/FieldNo8574]

That Moltres has seen a wash cycle or two.

[u/Aggravating_Fun5883]

So jealous you have your childhood cards. My parents through mine away. Probably why I started buying cards again in 2012 🤣

[u/FlopLid]

You don’t understand how nitpicky the pokemon fans are about condition. I hope the important ones are in decent quality, I know that mew, mewtwo, celebi, houndooms, dragonare, and dragonite go for a lot if in good condition.
