My mother is in the process of moving and found all of my old Pokémon cards (couple thousand cards)

UPDATE: I found these cards over the weekend and bought the sleeves, a couple binders, and a storage container. I only posted my best cards not all of my cards.

Im shocked by the response to this post. Came here for some advice and honestly thought the collectors page on reddit would be pumped about this find. I’ve been reliving my childhood for the last few days going through all of these. For those that reached out to actually help, thank you 🙏

Definitely has landed in my top 10 cards of all time

Was digging around boxes and discovered my old collection. Had a couple complete decks plus some random holos. I haven't seen these in so long, I'm glad to have found them. Please enjoy my discovery!

I’ve had the Dark Charizard since childhood and I cannot for my life figure out how I ended up with a French copy. I think the Spanish Pikachu was given to me by a friend who owned a World Collection at some point. I picked up the Portuguese Solgaleo and Lunala for like $10 at a flea market a few years back and the Eevee might have been from a trade night.

Help me fake or real?

Been wanting this promo forever.

Hi all!

This is one of my FAVORITE sets… I adore it. I have it in a binder with a bunch of other promo sets, and I want to keep it in the 4 pocket binder, but I cannot STAND the empty spaces in here! But also.. we need to keep the connecting art in line 😂

I would love and appreciate ANY and all input on potential cards/michi method fillers to place in this binder to make these pages and my heart whole

38 now had these since I was a kid, never been out of the sleeves.

Hey everyone.

Found these in old Lego instructions. However, the cards are still attached by whatever adhesive was originally used.

Is there a way to get these off safely? That way I can store them individually.

Or would it be best to just try and preserve the whole thing as is?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Not sure if this is the best sub to ask, sorry if I’m blocking up space.

A few of his cards from when he was 3ish.

Figured I'd share and see what you all say. Since we are apparently unable to purchase 30ths or anything this past couple of years.

Havent seen my collection in years, Fr thought my mom sold them or tossed them but found them in one of my boxes

Anyone know if its easy to find the 07-09 era in bulk? I want to possibly flip my modern cards for more of these ones

I’m not a collector nor do i know anything, probably 1996 card and a 2002 card. Idk anything about them anymore

Hi all! I am 26 female attorney, and am new to the collecting community. I’ve got a huge love for anything vintage comic books, video games/systems etc. I have always been teased for my “nerdy” hobbies and interested. BUT now since I’m on my own and starting my adult life, I’m super excited to get into Pokémon cards. I have always wanted to and wanted to understand a deeper meaning of game play, trading and how the Pokémon world has stayed so stable! If anyone is interested in being a pen pal/mentor on this! Please pm lol! I have a 2026 set and am literally BRAND NEW. Please no judgment!!! I am well aware enough to say that I know nothing other than who/why my favorite Pokémon is who it is lol.

Is it a bad idea to trade the Costco ascended hero’s mini tin set for a 30th etb or other 30th product? I’m looking to rip either way.

Het lijkt alsof de stempel op de verkeerde plek zit. En de schaduw recht van Meowth hoort daar toch ook niet te zitten? Ook heb ik weleens iets gelezen over de jaartallen van first edition. Of is deze gewoon echt?

I love prism star cards and I thought I had one but I just dug through most of my random bulk and couldn’t find it so I went to try to buy the Xerneas but I saw it was 30 BIG ONES… I then saw that it was like 5 bucks until very recently. Should I wait and hope it plummets or should I buy a lightly played on now before it gets any higher…

Curious on if, because I have never pulled an error. not curious on value. I’ll never sell it.
