Pokemon card collection - anyone have theirs valued?
- Thread starter unwashed potato!

.
Magic: The Gathering and some other card games don't need to be in pristine condition to be worth a bit of money as a lot of them are in demand as game pieces.
It's definitely worth having a look, especially if you played in the mid 90s to early 00s and still have your collection.

Hi everyone
Ive come across 3 packets of unopened cards from the Legendary Collection (2002).
Im not a pokemon fan so just wanted to move them on really , what would you's value these at and what would be the best place to sell them?
Cheers
sell them for cash in hand locally. If you ebay you run a risk of someone saying the packs are reseals and getting a refund.

All went in the bin. I do still have my Pokémon Blue with all 151 Pokémon however.
Yeah this was exactly my worry if I used ebay
obviously, use ebay sold listings to get an idea - but then just FB them. If you live in or around a city you'll get a bite.
It is almost guaranteed to happen as well, so please don't be tempted. Forum member asked on here about despatching a couple grands worth of MTG abroad and swiftly got a claim that it was a fake.
Could I borrow your expertise if you don't mind? Had my box of cards turn up last week and the plastic shrink wrap on the outside has a patch that's kind of melted through. Need I be worried that I've bought fakes? Came from chaos cards so I just assumed they'd be fine. Yet to open them and look inside as I thought it would be easier to return if they were still sealed.

Quick look on ebay tells me there aren't a lot available, but could be something like £1k per pack (or even more). Even empty packs are on there for about £50. If you sell them definitely do it in person!

Been outta the game a looong time, what was it you bought?
Chaos cards are a decent stockist from what I remember other than some claiming to get discount codes for posting better reviews
Cheers good to know. I bought a Champions Path Elite Trainer Box. I'm probably being overly paranoid but after reading that people have been resealing packs etc. I don't want to be the one who loses out for not knowing

I need to look into this too.
I have the initial uk run (1999?), but most aren't the first edition ones.
I got rid of some to a family friend when I lost interest, but still have most of them inc a shiny Charizard
No idea which are rare or sought after. I imagine most are worthless and the value is in a small number of cards.

So say he opened them instead of selling them, what would be the best card to pull from these packs? And what be the value of that card, it might be like giving a winning lotto ticket away.
No idea to be honest but probably not a winning lotto ticket.

Must be a hard choice. You know almost definitely you have a basic card set worth only the value of an unopened set, but.... It could be worth many many many times the value if you open and find a super rare.
