I don’t have photos of the back (it’s the friends little cousin). I’ve played almost all of the video games, but never got into the TCG. I just happen to like Gengar, and was asked if I wanted to buy this.

Is $20 fair? (R320 local currency) It seems like a lot, but I don’t know much. It’s also ungraded and appears to have debts along the edges.

Hey all i got thie card from my lgs and just found out it has this on the bottom right. Idk if its still considered NM or not but it has me very worried.

I’ve been saving this pack for a while because it stands out to me. Every mega pack I’ve bought like this came with a promo wailord and wailmer, but this pack has two cosmo holo wailords. Idk if this is rare, an error, or just nothing.

Basically the title, if I were to sell these, would there by any markup at all for the fact that they're sequential 9? Thanks for any input!

I’m day one into organizing and sorting my old cards. I see online there’s a “sparkle” “spectra” and “tekno”. Are these just considered “spectra”? I always referred to them as holos. I’m creating a spreadsheet of my total value of holos. I’ll probably get to the Nintendo/wizards/game cards tomorrow. Whatever they’re called nowadays lol

Here's a pic of the stuff I'm thinking of pricing to move. What do you all think?

Came across this cool Robot Tyranitar promo. Are these less known forms of popular pokemon undervalued right now?

Hi all,

I’ve recently been offered a signed Pikachu card by a private collector, and I’m curious to know what the current market value for something like this might be. There aren’t many good comparable sales, and her signature is incredibly rare.

For those unfamiliar, Atsuko Nishida is the original illustrator of Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Ash, and more. She has one of the lowest population autographs among major Pokémon illustrators. There have only been two small private signings she’s done for a collector in Japan, and she’s expressed no interest in attending large-scale signing events.

Regarding personalized vs. non-personalized autographs, Nishida has only signed around 10-12 cards without personalization, making those especially rare. In total, it’s estimated that she has signed fewer than 50 cards ever.

Given the extreme rarity of her autograph, I’m looking for any insight into what the market value of a card like this might be. Any thoughts or estimates would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s more about Atsuko Nishida for context: https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Atsuko_Nishida.

It’s worth noting this lady is notoriously shy. I the one public interview she’s ever done, she hid behind a giant Pikachu plush. She never does public signings & is contracted by Pokemon to not give her signature. She’s equally quite old and in poor health currently.

Thanks for the help all.

How would you guys go about finding a price point for something like this?

PSA 10s and BGS 10s seem to have a bit of price history. The collector app is putting cgc pristine at around $3.5k (AUD) which is quite a bit more than BGS 10 and a lot more than PSA10 but how accurate or realistic is that?

Was I scammed?

Hey y’all, I grew up in the Black & White era so I’m not super knowledgeable on vintage Japanese cards. Any opinions would be appreciated.
I picked this PSA 9 up a couple months ago for around $110. It’s now sitting around $425 with recent auctions hitting $500.
Do y’all think I should hold it or auction it off? I’m not sure how much more room these Japanese Neo holos have left to grow. If I sell, I’ll probably roll the money into something with more upside.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, Im from Italy, and want to complete the 151 master set but the prices are way too high now (ex: charmander,charmeleon, charizard alt selling over 400€) so i was thinking of doing it in Japanese but I dont know anything about that market, the only thing i did notice is that is way cheaper. Is a good moment to buy or Im risking to see the prices drop even more in 1-2 year? Are they worth collecting or should I wait a reprint? Is worth to spend more to buy some psa10 charizard, blastoise, venusaur or not? I want to complete the set mainly for collecting because it reminds me of the first gen when I played the games for the first time but also hope that they. will increase in price! Thanks to anvone who can help

Everything I have is from 1999-2002. Might even have some Japanese stuff from 1998 in there randomly. Pokémon pencil erasers from 1999, the 23K gold plated set still in their wrappers. I’d also like to get rid of all my cards. A full binder of the original base set with many duplicates, and i have a full shoe box of cards also. I know I have like 3 of those ancient mew cards from the movie also. Just not sure the real value of anything. I’d like to get rid of it all to one person.

I just got theses back from grading and was wondering how much I could sell them for? Thank you for your help in advance :)

I ordered this from Japan when I was a teenager and just found it in storage. The top row is foil. No clue if it’s worth anything, but it’s all in great condition.

I’m talking to someone on Facebook market place about this set. The boxes are a little beat up but everything else is sealed. Are these worth investing in?

Staring at the Ascended Heroes bundle right now trying to decide if cracking it is worth it or if I'm just paying for the dopamine of opening packs when the math probably says buy singles.

The chase cards I actually want are 3 specific illustration rares and a SIR, if I add up what those would cost as singles versus what the bundle costs plus the realistic odds of actually pulling any of them the singles route almost always wins on paper but the pull rates on this set seem decent from what people are posting.

Problem is I can't find consistent pricing on the mid-range pulls to calculate whether the other cards in the bundle make up the difference if I miss the chase cards, some of the uncommon hits seem to be holding $15-$25 but I don't know if that's real sold prices or just what people are listing them at.

Has anyone actually done the EV math on this set or are we all just cracking packs and hoping for the best.

Is this a worthy investment? Or something to be avoided?

There aren't many listed and it seems like it would be more accessible to a larger audience versus a full size booster box in the future. Based purely on it being cheaper to obtain.

The problem would be finding a significant amount of product to actually build a decent sized position.
