Does anyone know what pokemon cards are actually worth?

No. Such a thing is unknowable and will forever remain a mystery to mankind.

>>38355450
Serous replies please I mean I see completely different answers everywhere

Most pokemon cards are worthless because they rotate out.

Cards from any game are worth basically nothing 99% of the time. Things you would think are super rare cost like 10 dollars.

>>38355428
yes Ill pay top dollar for what you have friend

>>38355582
then why are there stuff on ebay like this?

holy fug these numerals

a lot of fucking money. an original charizard in good condition can fetch a $100

>>38355428
Certain cards used to be worth a lot when Pokemon was hot. Mainly that 1st edition holo Charizard.

These days you won't get much at all for your cards. Fuck I even remember seeing a store honestly trying to sell that holo Charizard for hundreds of dollars. I'm sure they must have sold it to some spoiled kid with that shit.

>>38355787
Really? I have like 5 of them, but I don't think that's true just cause someone is selling it on ebay for that much.

shadowless base set charizard

If they are bought from a starter pack they won't cost much.

>>38355809
it went for about $120 at a local shop near me, 1st edition or not

>>38355428
looking at prices on ebay, they're worthless.

>>38355582
MTG cards are actually worth money but yeah, Pokemon cards are fucking worthless 99% of the time.

>>38355842
Pretty sure the shop I saw it at it was in a nice little case and in plastic for nearly or possibly even 300 dollars.

I remember it being the most sought after card by far.

i played for a while. some cards went for $20-$70 if they were tourney ready. others like rare ones can go for $14-$30

In general stuff from older sets isn't worth too much

lots of supply with not a ton of demand, it would seem

>>38355871
why is it that some of them are listed for $500 and others $5

>>38355428
Old common/uncommon pokemon cards are worth like $0.50-$2 in mint condition. Rares are $1-$40ish depending on the card.

>>38355753
People are retards who use alt accounts to shill their listings. You will not get more than a few dollars for that card. There are fucking hundreds of thousands of them. A good condition Charizard from base set is worth about $40-50 at most, you might get a few hundred for a gem mint graded one.

The most valuable cards in PTCG are stuff like Shining Charizard and Shining Espeon from the old advanced era sets, those run $100-$250. But most PTCG cards don't break the $10 mark.

no, u

>>38356038
why in the hell do people do that?

>>38355428
I use that exact card for a book mark.

>>38355428
Most of them are only worth the memories

I wish my parents stopped me from buying pokemon cards with my allowance. I could have saved over 5k bucks growing up if I didn't buy any cards

>>38357066
no one to blame but yourself.

>>38356365
Hoping they'll get a retard to bite by shilling extremely overpriced listings to the top when if you go one page back you can find the card for pennies.

Look how many people are trying to sell this shit card for hundreds of dollars when you can get a graded first edition mint for $16 and anything below that is like $0.30.

>>38357157
I'm not blaming anyone I just wish they would have stopped me

>>38357315
no self control. that's why you're on robot. SAD!

>>38357361
stop projecting. I loved doing it as a kid and it wasn't until now that I realized it would have been great to have money saved up. self control was no part of any of this

Ask away, smart autist who collects Yu Gi Oh and Pokemon for a living here.

The real reply is it depends how it's graded. Charmeleon is near worthless sadly.

>>38357066
It's a good way of teaching you about money. Now you'll never do that again.
