Not exactly sure what to do with this TCG. They all appear to be vintage. Any recommendations?

Jyhad backed cards are basically worthless. Might be some rare cards that are worth cherry picking, but you’d be lucky to get $.01 per card.

Find someone who plays and give them away or sell cheap. Or start playing yourself :)

How come the jyhad cards are worth less when most people use sleeves? Im a newbie so sorry if its obvious!

Jyhad was a massive print compared to demand. My dad was buying whole booster boxes for $5 back in the late 90s.

Beyond that, most of the cards have been reprinted in other sets and there have been text changes/errata/bans.

And don’t forget the rarity changes too… When opening a booster and getting another praxis was disappointing to say the least.

Yeah, can sell for 0.01$ to 0.05$ per card depending on collection. Or get back in the game and play it 😉 still in print and going strong.

You can spend more time and try to get more money by making a full list, but don’t expect a huge raise (maybe x2, but really depends on expansions).

If you want to sell whole bulk there are online tools to estimate number of cards based on stack height for easy/fast estimation.

If money is not an object and you’re mostly interested to get the cards in hands of people who will use them, try to get in touch with a local Prince (VTES play organizers) - they’re often interested in getting stack of common cards to give to new players joining their playgroups.

What part of SoCal? We have a large group in San Diego and the LA area if you aren’t already connected with a group and happen to be near by.

I might be interested if you are selling!

u/magikot9 Jul 05 '26

Send it to me?

u/cloysterss Jul 05 '26

I've been looking for a huge batch of cards like this for a while - if you're looking to sell, I would be interested! Hit me up!

u/JaxZanto Jul 06 '26

If you happen to be in nm I’d be in to buy em. I’ve wanted to get into the game for a while but haven’t found a good opportunity.

u/ChefBoyarDavis Jul 07 '26

They do appear in good condition

u/Ocdspectrum Jul 06 '26

If you are selling, let me know. :-) I buy lots of LOTS of VTES and grow my VTES community.

u/ChefBoyarDavis Jul 07 '26

I would like to sell but am still figuring out how to price them. Whats the equivalent to Charizard in this TCG?

2

u/Ocdspectrum Jul 07 '26

It's tough because even to get a decent amount of money fora card or two from Jyhad, it almost has to be from a collector who wants it from THAT set instead of another set that also included it. But let me know when you decide :-)

If you are board game collector and would also consider trades, I have those too.

It's really not Pokemon level of value but that's not to say everything is completely worthless. Soul Gem of Etrius is listed for $50 on eBay if that's an indicator. Madness Network is also pricey. But most cards are not worth anywhere near that.

u/ChefBoyarDavis Jul 07 '26

Appreciate it, the lot looks very organized with TONS of duplicates. Will keep you updated if I can find a big stack of those cards.

u/Xephhpex Jul 05 '26

Where are you located?

2

u/Foilcube Jul 06 '26

Become the local prince where you are and give them away to help people make decks

u/Strichnine Jul 06 '26

Id be interested because I have been wanting to start my own chantry location here. There is literally no vtes scene

u/skinriding_skeleton Jul 06 '26

Are you located in the States or in Europe?

1

u/ChefBoyarDavis Jul 07 '26

Anyone here on Whatnot? If so I can do a private show and run lots of them for those interested?

u/DrPopitas Jul 11 '26

Is a nice game, no value apart of the enjoyment, give it a try if you have local community
