Hello all! This is my first post here. My wife and I enjoy playing a game of Pokemon TCG every now and then, and because of that I bought a collection of 1500 playing cards for about $70 on eBay to add to our growing collection of original base set Pokemon (we're very particular and only like the original 150 ones for playing with :P). To my surprise, I found about 500 First Edition French cards within the lot, and upon further inspection, I picked out about 9 Rare Cards from the entire lot. Sadly there were no Holo cards, or anything better than Rare, but I have a feeling I might be sitting on something at least worth more than what I paid originally for it.
As mentioned earlier,
ALL of them are
1st Edition French Team Rocket cards. All of my cards are sadly non-holo, but I do still have a few rare ones. I also do believe these are all in extremely good condition as I see no visible signs of any damage at all (no scratches or folds, and even the edges are like new).
9 Rares (x/82):
(x1) #19. Arbok obscur - Rare (Dark Arbok)
(x1) #23. Triopikeur obscur - Rare (Dark Dugtrio)
(x2) #25. Léviator obscur - Rare (Dark Gyarados)
(x1) #31. Smogogo obscur - Rare (Dark Weezing)
(x3) #71. Et voila les Team Rocket ! - Rare (Here Comes Team Rocket!)
(x1) #80. Énergie multicolore - Rare (Rainbow Energy)
+104 Uncommon, +319 Common
Entire Set:
I have, at minimum, enough cards to create 3 full Uncommon + Common sets of the 1st Edition French Team Rocket, plus anywhere from about 1 to 16 more of each of these same Uncommon and Common cards.
So, if anyone has a clue what the value of French cards are, in particular this entire set of cards I have, I'm very interested in knowing how much I might be able to fetch for these. Thanks! :)
