"What is this? Is it fake? How much is it worth?" Thread

Hi there! Looking at the card, it appears to not be a misprint, but a victim of low printer ink when they printed the red background. And looking at the slightly folded corner, it appears to be real too.

Obviously I can't tell for sure because it could be over exposure from your camera, but because of the consistency of the lightening (usually with sun bleaching or tinting you end up with discoloration in different areas or a yellow cast), I think what you have there is a manufacturing error. Unfortunately, these kinds of errors are rather common and nothing to write home about. It's just a slightly lighter card, that's all. Still a cool one though! :)

Thanks so much for your response! And indeed, I'm still very proud of this card :) Especially since Charizard is my favourite Pokémon!

So now I have a second question: I have a Duelist Jungle Fever Magazine (Vol. 6 Issue 9) from 1999, with a First Edition Jungle 60/64 Pikachu Wizards promo. Everything is still sealed and perfect mint, except the sealing (it is a little ripped). So how can I find the real value of this item in euros?

Ooooooh! I'm jealous! Seriously, if PC had a platform for trading or buying, I would totally make a deal with you for that one. Really awesome card and in the original sleeve no less! If I were you I'd get it PSA rated. It's not an exceptionally rare or expensive card - I've seen played ones go for around $8 to $12 (about €7.30 to €10.50 though my conversion might be off) but still awesome for those of us who collected the W-stamped cards!

Take good care of that one for me. :)

Thanks so much for your nice response. :) But actually, I was wondering about the value of the magazine and the Pikachu card together. I was not really clear about that :blush:
Or are these two items more valuable when I sell them separatedly? (I decided to go only for a fewer specific series, you see)

While I'd normally say check sold listings on eBay, there are none no matter what terms I use.

There's a buy it now listing on English eBay for a pre-owned, opened copy of that particular issue starts the bidding around $7.50 USD and a buy it now price of $26, but I think $26 might be too high for the condition of this listing. However, there is a sealed listing (with 2 copies available apparently) that is going for $60 USD for a buy it now price. Not sure what it amounts to in euros, but I'd think somewhere between $30 and $40 would be a reasonable price since the sealing is partially broken.

That said, terms to search are specifically "Duelist September 1999" or "Duelist Vol 6 Issue 9" since Jungle Fever is just one of the eyecatch taglines for that particular issue.

Anyone seen one of these before? Got it from a pack yesterday. Didn't notice the square corners at first.

A partially square cut card is what you have. Not crazy rare but not all that common, either.

RARE!?

I found these old cards. If anyone has any information about them or can direct me somewhere. I cant any information on them besides a few for sale on ebay.

Hey there! Those are most definitely Bandai's Pokemon anime collection cards (CARDDASS?). From everything I understand they have a very niche market that some people will pay for. They're not particularly rare, and I'm fairly certain they will only sell high if graded, but nevertheless it's an interesting find. I'm not keyed into the market for these at all, but after a quick look I was able to find that Pikachu card you've got in non-holo going for about $13. Hopefully this will at least give ya a good starting point to do some further research. :)

Good luck!

I know you asked not to post about common cards, but i've come across a japanese skyridge/split earth unlimited pikachu card. it is non holo. the condition is near mint.
I have no idea what it might be worth could you help me please?

Pictures would be helpful to get a real sense of its worth, but just from what you've said it should be a fairly pricy card. Good find!

It's #033/088, right? Not reverse holo? All prices I see seem to be around $8 to $10. :)

That rule is specifically in place because so many people would ask about their English Base Set commons back when they were worth something like $0.10 each. Obviously, there are high value exceptions like yours, but the vast majority are worth basically nothing.

I've gone ahead and merged your post into the How Much Is This Worth? thread.

That said I've not got the energy or time tonight to watch the video to see what you have and price it out (I'm up past my bedtime posting this at the moment because I have a few things to post/address yet before going to bed).

Newer stuff you can find prices for pretty readily on TCGPlayer (via the Market Price), older stuff based on sold listings on eBay and in some cases via the price on TCGPlayer.

More than happy to help if you can't discern a price for something on those, though.

I just came across some cards but I can't find them anywhere I've looked. They are sun and Moon booster packs lost thunder with 10 additional cards, was wondering if they were worth anything.

I've merged your post into the appropriate thread for these types of questions. Do you have any photos of them to upload? My guess is that if you can't find them anywhere you may have bought a counterfeit booster pack.

Yes pictures of the front and back of the cards would be useful. Or super details descriptions if you're able!

Hello, can you tell me something about this, maybe, missprinted Growlithe with 8000 hp?

Not a misprint, just a blatant fake unfortunately. It's pretty common for counterfeits to have ridiculous numbers on them.

What did I find?

Im sure they're common, but anyone have any info on these two cards I found?
