Help me price my random packs! (US)

Hi, first time poster to the TCG forum but I wanna make it quick.

What should I price my random packs at? (Random as in random which pack you get, the card distributions are not random)
They each have about 50 cards with the following distributions:
2 EXs/Full Arts Image Here
2 Reverse/Foil Rares Image Here
2 Reverse/Foil Commons Image Here
1 Reverse/Foil Uncommons Image Here
3-4 Rares
8-9 Uncommons
6 Trainers
22-23 Commons

I estimated my prices for all my EX's, Fulltarts, Reverses and Foils at about $80 sold individually but would rather sell them as packs.

One bundle (with all my cards) would be easiest for me, but I think making packs could net me more money.
Thank you!

Edit: Sorry, NOT TCGO!

Probably something like $15 to $20 per pack plus shipping.

Dear everybody,

I have decided to sell my base set booster box after 14 years. I was going to ask around 2400$, but then I found out through a tip that I have a special version.

My base set is made in 1999-2000 in the UK. It has the curved Wizard logo on the wrap. It supposedly has lighter cards and possibly 1999-2000 holo's. I am just a Pokemon fan and in no way an experienced buyer/seller/trader.

I come to ask for help! What do you think this box is worth? I can only find 1 for sale for 9000$ on Ebay but cant find any that are actually sold. I would love to hear your opinions.

Kind regards,

Arjan

I have about thirty of these cards but have been unable to find anything concrete as to their origin or value. I believe they are Bandai or Carddass Japanese vending machine cards circa 1996?

Two pictures, front is holo, the back is non-holo. They show evolution stages.

Ok so just got back 206 cards that I chose to send in. 60% were PSA 10 so I did pretty well. I made a little fun youtube video if you want to check out the returns.

Hello!
I was recently looking at my collection and I noticed three of my Lv X Pok?mon had yellow borders instead of silver. To my understanding all lv X borders are supposed to me silver. I couldn?t find anything online and was hoping somebody could clear this up (please let them not be fake).

Sorry, these are all fake. Those holo dots in the art probably don't even shine, right? There are other tell-tale signs on the cards as well, like the bloated Energy icons (only used for Energy card artwork) and lack of the accented "?" in Pok?mon. You may also notice a few typos if you read closely, characteristic of counterfeits.

The lack of copyright info or an official logo and the shoddy foil application lead me to believe these are a bootleg product.

reverse holo Skuntank misprint?

Looks like my reverse holo Skuntank is holo across the whole card and not just the perimeter. The shine can be seen across the entire card. Misprint?

As much as i hate to say it; they are most likely fake.

From my research, there are no know printings for either of those cards in any region.
Their names are spelt incorrectly which is a big indicator that they are fake (Eg. Donphan is not spelled ?Donfan?). Another indicator is that the Donphan is not a part of ?Delta Species? series yet it is still an alternative type. (Delta species cards were the only cards that I know of that allowed Pok?mon to have an alternative type not normally available. Eg. Steel Type Magikarp

Real shame though. They look like awesome cards!
But to answer your question: They are worth virtually nothing. Sorry!
Have a good day!

Thanks for that Aduitt

I wasn't sure if they were real as they have the obvious things to check first like the copyright dates at the bottom.

As to the donfan i have seen the donphan but just dismissed it as just being one that is just alike as its pic is completely different in appearance.

Is there anyone at the actual Pok?mon who i can confirm that these are definitely fakes?
