Official "How Rare/How Much Is My Card Worth" Thread

[Electricbluewolf]

Sorry, but even the Japanese Shining Celebi isn't that expensive. The English one is only about $50 if it's 1st and $20 if it's Unlimited.

Damn, I forgot that was selling price to dealers XD

Just signed up here today, I was wondering how much these cards are worth to be sold. (Terminology for card types may be wrong, I just learned everything today)

2 questions:
Where would be the best place to sell them, card selling site or general selling sites (like ebay)?
Are these cards worth selling separately or in bundles/packages?

Thanks

I don't really understand what you mean by that post. But the prices I gave are what most online shops as well as ebay are selling them at.

EDIT: Wait. I saw in another of your posts that you were using Euros. I've found in the past that for some reason packs and singles have a higher value in Europe. That could explain why both of our prices were so different from eachother.

Base Set Alakazam

Jungle Vaporeon

Gym Challenge Rockets Zapdos

Assuming they aren't 1st ed (since you didn't specify). Alakazam is about $5, Vaporeon is about $4 ($3 for the non-holo) and the Rocket's Zapdos is about $7.

Mint 1st Edition Base Set Charizard Holo 4/130

It's condition really matters on this one. It can go from $70 to over $200 depending on how mint it is.

That would be a fake card. So it doesn't really have any value.

Chansey-$1-$1.50, Shellder-75c-$1.
Blastoise- $3-5-It's base set 2, which a were not as popular as 1 or 3, and are cheap to buy and (from experience) hard to re-sell.
Dragonite- In mint $7-8, however, yours is fairly damaged, about $3-5.
Muk-$5-6.
Electabuzz-$8-11
Larion-$1-3.

Pros of selling with a card site:
People know the prices (So can offer more)
Narrower market (more competition to buy and a more target range)

Cons of selling with a card site:
People know the prices (So you can't add anything over, as it probably wouldn't sell)
Most people look for mint/nr.mint cards.

Pros on ebay:
Can go for much more the it's worth (People go crazy on there)
A lot of cards/opportunity to sell.

Cons on ebay:
Can not sell/go for waay under it's price (unless you add a reserve, but people get put off by those sometimes)
Some sellers take days to pay, or never at all (Though this is very rare)

It really depends on what you'd feel most comfortable selling them on.

If it were me, I would sell the Electrabuzz EX on it's own, and the rest of the cards as a bundle. (The only bad condition card that does well are Charizards on ebay)

Ohh, I meant euros on the first one, so it's probably around the same estimate then XD

I have what i believe to be a misprinted Deoxys. It is a deoxys defense forme card, but it says attack forme on the top. I was wondering how rare this is and whether or not its worth anything.

Sadly that's a fake card so it's not worth anything.

So mostly base 1 set.

Old cards (though scarce) don't go for much unless they are shiny. Usually collectors just starting out buy older cards (as they haven't got any).
The Gym Leader cards *usually* go for more. Nearly all of them are worth 0.50c-$3.
The Entei was a promo card for the Unknown Movie (I think the 3rd movie), and is worth about $2.50-$5.

I have exactly 1511 cards at the moment, and would like a rough estimate on what they're worth... and as i'm currently in a different state, i cant specify the good ones till later. i would just like a low and an average estimate of what theyre worth. only about 10 or fewer cards are NOT in mint/nr.mint condition. when i get home in about a week, ill post some for evaluation. :P thx.

It really depends what they are, and if they're are any good or rare ones in there. I often see bulks go for more than £10+ on ebay, but it would really be down to how much the cards are worth.

[Ambree]

im going to go through my cards later. would these be able to sell at a card shop that will buy them? i mean if a card could be worth a lot would they buy it at a good price?

It depends on condition, rarity, and first editions etc. Those particular cards, I would think maybe- their old enough, but I would expect a huge lump of money.

I bought some packs earlier for some giggles and pulled a tornadus EX (not a full art), how much is it worth?
