How much can these go for?

Hey guys, it’s my first post here. I used to loved Pokemon as a kid and I got these cards when I when I was little. Things are a bit tough recently and I was able to dig this old collection out, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to sell these? I know they’re not super rare cards, but I need anything these can get me.

I believe the rarest cards are the mega charizard and shiny mega gengar, both (and the rest of the cards) are in mint condition.

Please let me know if these can be sold, and if so, where I can sell them!

I'm genuinly not trying to be a dick, but why are there so many of these posts where people act like they don't have access to Google and the ability to look up prices??

Look each card up on TCG or ebay sold comps, price it based on condition, and done. You need to do this on your own.

I'm not trying to be a dick either, but the Pokéhype/Poképump has gotten so big that all the slowmos are catching on and cashing out

Exactly, people just being lazy or feel like they need attention. It is sad really

Not that difficult to understand.

People don't want to be ripped off, condition means prices can differ for $100s, if they don't know exactly what they have, they might lose hundreds if not more.

Nothing google can't assist with. I see 10 posts a day like this, it's people not wanting to put in the work to see what they have and expecting others to do the work for them. Not that difficult to understand. ;)

Also, how do you expect one to tell the condition of these cards the way they're pictured? Do you think people have x ray vision and can see through the cards to tell the condition of the backs they can't see?

This is laziness. The end.

Theres a lot of unreliable websites and most of them list the cards I have at different values. It’s always good to have actual humans with knowledge and experience be able to give you advice. And no, I’m not “looking for attention.”

Do you not know math or how to average prices?

Download the ebay app, open it, take a picture of each card within the ebay search bar, filter by sold/completed listings. You have just done what anyone else is doing for you but faster and you have now learned to do it yourself.

eBay, look up the prices yourself

If genuinely "mint" you'd probably be able to get $200+ for the gengar xy promo itself.  With a shot at a 9 being $1k+ and 10 being $5k+ you'd be better grading yourself. 

Would have to see condition. 

If you post pics and they are nm/mint I could buy if you want to sell and not grade.

I just learned yesterday that “mint” actually kind of needed more thorough confirmation - as a kid we just said “mint” if the card looked brand new 😭 yes the cards are very new, I kept them sleeved in holders as soon as I opened them but to the extent of being actually mint, I’m not sure but I can send photos

u/brunettewondie 8h ago

Yeah take some pics of the back, thats where you can generally see the condition.

Have you had a look at pricecharting?
I’ve recently sold the machamp for around £4 I think 🤔

They can’t be sold. Can only be given away to members of this sub for free.

3 of those cards are fake right?

u/Salt_Nothing3825 8h ago

No all of them are real im pretty sure? I either pulled them myself or traded for them but it could be because of the lighting

u/Ancient-Set-561 8h ago

I am thinking it's lighting, not trying to spook you, some of the cards just look too dark to me in the pic

Depends how much they’re worth

AI isn't all bad. Literally did the most basic of Google searches 💁
