I'm new here and joined for this thread =P
When I was little my dad started collecting the original set for me. As I got older I lost interest, and they have been in the attic - still stored in a collector's album with the UltraPro pockets.
When I took them out, unlikely as it sounds I'm sure, he was so thorough that I have:
First Edition cards (102/102) of the series which has the holographic cards of Alakazam, Blastoise, Chansey, Charizard & Clefairy as its' starting few.
Non-First Edition cards (102/102) of the same series
64/64 First Edition cards from the Jungle set
62/62 First Edition cards from the Fossil set
A set similar to the first set I listed, except at the bottom right hand corner of the picture there is a 2 with a Pokeball in it (130/130)
The "dark" cards (an R in the bottom right hand corner), First Edition (83/82 for some reason, the last card being a Dark Raichu)
What I am presuming is the Gym Leaders' set of cards, First Edition (132/132)
...
After these my brain gets hurt thinking about them. But many of the cards are First Edition Cards, i have many of the special edition/promo cards and an entire couple of pages worth of just Pikachu cards with various logos and pictures. PLEASE let me know if you have any idea what this could mean to me in terms of value or if you know anyone or anywhere (preferably in the UK) who might want to buy them off me?
