I've got a Dark Dragonite 15/109 ex Team Rocket Returns like this one:

(Can't post links yet - but if you search ebay for this: "Pokemon - DARK DRAGONITE Ex Team Rocket Returns Holo Card 15/109 PSA Graded 10" you should see what I'm talking about)

Only difference is that the text on mine that says 'ex Team Rocket Returns' is in silver instead of that gold/orange color. Also the holographic parts of the picture seem to be different. At first I was excited that I couldn't find it online, thinking that it was super rare, but now I'm thinking it must be a fake. Real or fake? And if real, possible value?

Thanks for any help.

Mind uploading a photo of yours as an attachment? Part of me thinks it's counterfeit, and if it is, I'd like to point out what is so you can get better at spotting them.

Sorry, didn't have the card with me earlier. Here's a couple shots to see the silver text.

Main thing that I think I notice comparing it to some of my other cards is the description text is a little less crisp. Also, I know that looking at the back of the card can give some indication (how faded it is/color) but I seem to have many cards with varying degrees of fade/saturation/hue.

Let me know if you can see the images - not sure how best to attach them.

Hi!

I have gone through about 1,300 of my old pokemon cards and I've found around 150 of them to be rare or ultra rare. (Black or white stars).

I'm going to be posting two cards that I would like to know more about, and their price.

CARD 1
A. Card name: Gardevoir ex
B. Card Set: EX Sandstorm
C. The collector's number: 96/100
D. Not first edition
E. Shadowless, has a signature of Kevin Nguyn?, on the bottom right of the picture
F. English


CARD 2
A. Card name: Voltali
B. Card Set: Jungle
C. Collector number: 4/64
D. Not first edition
E. Shadowless, Holo
F. French.

I have many more rare cards, including japanese/chinese , and more french cards.
Thanks in advance

Anything with a signature isn't worth more than a few pennies because they're reprints from world champ decks

Someone is selling 5 of these sealed plastic cases and each has 10 packs of these mix of blastoise, venusaur and Charizard booster packs so 50 packs total. I'm assuming these are base set 1 and I think they want $400 for all of them does that sound fair.
I can't seem to find comparables for this pack

Pm me for pictures since I can't post yet

I'd be a bit wary, personally.

You can, however, upload pictures of these as attachments to your next post by going into Advanced post mode and clicking on the paper clip icon.

I agree i am very wary but everything seems to check out as far as them actually existing because they gave me pictures of exactly what i asked for the only problem would be them just not sending them but it will be paypal protected so thats not a big deal. I attached quite a few pictures also

They came with the starter decks, they sell from anywhere between $3 and $35 in my experience. There's variance between print runs and the like, yours looks to be a later one and, unfortunately, worth a lot less.

eBay completed listings should give an idea of what to expect if you sell

I need some help please?

Hi guys,

I'm from the UK, i have had a massive lot of Pokemon cards for a long time, i have ALOT of the original cards ranging from Base, Fossil, Jungle etc. A few new ones as well. What i'm interested is in how much are they worth? Rough estimate. I'm unsure whether this is the correct forum to ask but some help will be much appreciated. These are all pretty much Holo's, i have the non holos for almost all these cards too behind them in the folder as well as the full evolve form set e.g Charmander, Charmeleon & then Charizard.

Thanks Guys! :D

I have no idea how to describe this card, so I attached some pictures. I know it's not an actual card, but I've had it since I was a little kid when someone traded it to me with some other stuff and I've always wondered what it was. I can't find it anywhere on the internet, but it is the exact same size as a regular card, it just looks weird. Does anyone have any idea?

Hello good folk in the pokeKnow.

So this is what I have. Was about to discard it during recent move to a new and smaller flat. Then a friend of mine pointed out that it actually looks to possibly hold some value.
Im now asking for some help in appraising it as it got a bit complicated.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Nah. It's just a regular, common, and damaged Base Set Pikachu card with the normal yellow cheeks rather than the red cheeks of the misprint version. It's worth maybe $0.10 USD in that condition.

Hi, so I was going through some old cards and found a Torterra (2007, body slam, leaf storm) that has a typo.
Correct reading: Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokemon is now Paralyzed.
My card: Flip a coin. If headsk, the Defending Pokemon is now Paralyzed.

I don't see this mentioned anywhere online. What would this do to the price?

You can't find any information on it online because it has no value because it's not an error card, it's a counterfeit card.

Hey,
I just received some EX cards and they feel and look completely different.
The Primal Groudon EX doesn't look as shiny as the Mega Mewtwo EX and feels different when you bend it.

Is the Primal Groudon EX Fake?

And I also got a Mega Mewtwo from BreakThrough 63/162 in english and "Vanishing Strike" is written in english as well instead of Japanese. Fake as well?

That Mega Mewtwo in your photo is actually a counterfeit. Is that the Mega Mewtwo you're talking about in your last sentence or is that yet another different one? Because both sound like counterfeits.

As for Primal Groudon, does it have grooves (this is something that the legitimate versions of this card have)? From your picture, it looks like it doesn't, which would mean it's also a counterfeit.

Can you provide me with more details?

Thanks for your answer. The Primal Groudon has no grooves, it is simply flat.

The other Mega Mewtwo was not on the picture and I guess it's the same story.

Take a look:
