Official "How much is my card worth?" Thread [READ THE FIRST POST]

I've got a few cards that I'm interested in getting a value on:

Holgraphic Absol Card:
70 Hp
Quick Attack - 10+ Damage
Feint Attack

Bottom right corner (not the corner of the card, but the corner on the yellow border) has 16 Shiny bars

Bottom left border corner has a large Blue E with a star next to it.

Above the shiny bars mentioned before is a four pointed star, to the left of that is a small five pointed star and the number 96/95

Kabutops Holographic card:
110 Hp
Poke-BODY Primal Stare
Luring Antenna 20 Damage
Blinding Scythe 60 damage

Has a Star mark in the bottom left corner as well as what looks what might be a cave with a sun rising over it (marking)
10/108

Then I've got a First Edition Holgraphic Machamp that came with the 2-Player Started Set from 1998

Also got four Promo cards from the first pokemon movie which are:
Electabuzz 60 HP
Pikachu 50 HP
Mewtwo 70 HP
Dragonite 90 HP

All have got a stamp that says "Kids WB Presents POKEMON The First Movie"

If these are worthless, don't worry about breaking it to me gently, I can take it :)

How much are they worth?

I have nine cards from the original 1996 pocket monsters thingy; Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Bayleef, Croconaw, Quilava, Meganium (shiny), Feraligator (shiny), Typhlosion (shiny). I would like to know how much they are worth. The ID no. go from No. 152 - No. 160 and all are completely in Japanese.

Okay, just a quick little reply here because I'm doing a lot of things at once right now. I'll try to get people I missed later.

I need a bit more information. Do you have a limited edition binder that these came in? Whether you have that or not affects the value somewhat.

hello :), i have just been looking through my pokemon cards and i have found one unique to my others and im not sure how much it is worth thanks i will post some pictures when i can





itsays it was made in 2004 is 25/112 and has a silver shiny star in the bottom right corner. But do you see it has a shiny symbol on the middle of the card? thats what i was wondering as i have never seen it on a pokemon card before :)

Hey all, I used to be very into collecting pokemon cards, but I fell out of it in the early 2000s. I held on to a single card from my collection. The Imakuni? Trainer card

I can't post a picture since this is my first post, but apparently it's a CoroCoro promo from 1997.

Any idea on it's value?

Hi guys, i am new here :).

I have read the first post, but i have 10-15 cards which i need to ask you guys what is average value of each card, u dont need to tell me accurate, but i want to have overall vision of my cards value.

I used to collect pokemon cards when i was kid so i have some old holos.

I am wondering how much could cost shining kabutops, raichu, tyranitar, celebi and magicarp (all are shining, but magicarp is a bit different and it's from Neo Revelations)

Same goes for crystal crobat, charizard and holem. (skyridge).

And i have all holo trainer cards, from Brock to Giovanni + 3 Team rocket holo trainer cards (Here comes team rocket, Rocket's sneak attack, The rocket's trap). How much i could ask for them as a collection.

And last one is some Japanise charizard edition, picture of pokemon is non holo, bur rest of card is holo, and on back is not pokemon, but pocket monsters, version of charizard is one with 120hp and 100 damage + pokemon power. Here is how it look's like -> .ebay.com/itm/Rare-Japanese-Charizard-Pocket-Monsters-Pokemon-foil-holo-card-/120992217801?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2bb2bac9 (add www before, as it wont let me post this link since i dont have mroe then 15 posts)

Ty and sorry for asking you for that many cards.

Shining Kabutops: $25 to $30
Shining Raichu: $15 to $20
Shining Tyranitar: $15 to $20
Shining Celebi: $20 to $25
Shining Magikarp: $10 to $15
Crystal Crobat: $25 to $30
Crystal Charizard: $70 to $80
Crystal Golem: $15 to $20

As for the Gym Leader cards, I'd assume $3 to $5 apiece, based on the prices of Brock, Misty, and Giovanni.
The Team Rocket related cards would fetch $2 to $4 apiece.
I'd advise against selling them as a collection.

As for that Charizard, I can't figure out which one that is so I can properly look up completed auctions on the card. The auction description there is too vague and would likely get 6 different Charizard cards with those characteristics if I were to search using those terms.

Absol: $6 to $9.
Kabutops: $2 to $3.
Machamp: $3 to $5.

All 4 of those movie promos are worth $2 to $3. There were and are just too many of them in circulation, really.

Oh, that Hypno? That symbol used on the background of the card is the set symbol for the ex:FireRed and LeafGreen set. I think it's the special holo version of that card that was only included in certain theme decks. Value for that is $1 to $2 at best. Not worth very much at all.

Uh... my guess is $20, but there's not much to go on in the past 3 months of sales, seeing as it's not a commonly sold card.

How much do you think these would be worth?

-Holo Gyarados; 6/102; NOT Shadowless; NOT 1st Edition

-Zapdos; 30/62; The set symbol is a bony hand; NOT 1st Edition

-Dark Weezing; 31/82; Team Rocket; NOT 1st Edition

-Blaine's Nine Tails (Japanese); Gym set; No. 038

I recently found an old collection of pokemon cards I had when I was growing up. The first card is from the U.S. while the other three are Japanese. These are the ones I'm more curious about. I'll probably be posting some more later.

Depends on what you mean by complete collection. Complete sets of the cards are worth more than just having all of the rares, or one of each Pokemon.

Hi im not looking to sell my cards but i was wondering if anyone could give me a rough value on a full set of pokemon cards (being one of every pokemon from generation I - IV) from the pokemon pearl diamond and platinum sets. I have holos of the most important and legendary cards, and every single card is in mint - near mint condition.

Thanks let me know

(P.S this is my first post and am not really sure if im posting this in the right spot)

Most collectors don't seek out one of each Pokemon when buying. They seek out entire sets of cards, so if you were to tally up the individual value of each of your cards, that'd be what they'd be worth all together, roughly, and they wouldn't be worth anymore just because you've got one of all 493 of them.

What it comes down to is that it depends on which ones you have.

Around as much as the normal version, as it seems to be just as common as the normal version. So $5 to $10.

Depends on what set it's from, but if it's got a copyright date of 2007 or later, it's worth around $0.50 or less.
