I think I had Sushi once and I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.

 

[Palkia]

I like sushi, but it's a bit too expensive to have for my lunch in school.

As a side note, I'm honestly sick of the TCG area being dead.

 

[donavannj]

Sushi's too expensive to even have more than once every few months for me.

As a side note, I'm honestly sick of the TCG area being dead.

I'm working on that between things in my offline life. I could use some help bringing activity, though, in the form of people posting in more topics. I have plenty of ideas, but time gets in the way of execute many of them. I should be able to do more this summer, though.

 

[Taemin]

Poor TCG.. I'd help revive the area, but the issue there is that I'm one of the people who don't play the card game. I used to spend hundreds on cards, but that was just collecting. I haven't actively done that since Johto. :(

 

[donavannj]

Well, you could always ask the value of your cards a few cards at a time if you still have them. :P Those huge lists of price requests are a little frightening because I have to spend half an hour searching eBay to get a good guess on all the prices. XD;

 

[Charizard★]

I need to find the value of my cards as well. (all 893, yes I counted, and no I don't have a life.) I'm pretty sure they'd all be worth $200, at least ;; But seeing as I do have a Charizard card that is worth $200 (not selling it tho) last time I checked and other rare ones it should be at least $200...

 

[donavannj]

Charizard isn't actually worth $200 anymore unless you get it professionally graded and it's in mint condition.

 

[Charizard★]

Well, when I went to my cousins house and I brought it in to some card dealership they said there were only 5 made and that it was in mint condition so it would be around 150-200 dollars, but that was 3 years ago ._.

 

[Nihilego]

Asdf some Pokémon cards are actually worth that much? If I'd have known that, I'd have been collecting for a very long time now. ._.

 

[donavannj]

Er, what Charizard was that? I'm not aware of such a Charizard that only five were made of. Also, no one's going to pay that much for a card unless it's graded by the PSA these days.

 

[Charizard★]

I'm not sure how many were made, but I got this one from a friend. I also have this one if it's of any importance:

 

[donavannj]

There's more than just five of that Charizard. It was a CD promo over in Japan, and those CDs came with 10 promos apiece.

That other Charizard gets asked about a lot. I wouldn't buy it for more than $10 or $15, but I see it listed as high as $30.

 

[Charizard★]

So that guy lied? :/

Oh well, $15 is a good price for a card if you want to sell I guess. How much would the first one sell for in your opinion?

 

[donavannj]

Probably. But people who don't actually collect the cards usually aren't all that in the know about what's truly rare and what's just expensive and over-hyped.

I have no idea. I have nothing to base it off of. :x Ask in the thread and someone more knowledgeable than I could try to give a value. There are a couple POP professors and traders who lurk PC's forums, but they don't post often.

 

[Charizard★]

Oh okay then. Maybe I can still sell it to him and get $200 out of it, but that would seem a bit mean.......lol

I'll go ask there, maybe that will help liven' it up a bit :o

 

[Gerri Shin]

I've got that charizard too, but I still think my prized card is worth more. (first ed. error card) I figure if I wait another 10-12 years I can at least get about $450-500 out of it.

If you want to get that much, you'll want to get it PSA graded.

 

[Gerri Shin]

If you want to get that much, you'll want to get it PSA graded.

Hmm, unfortunately I'm not sure what that means or how it's done.

 

[Meganium]

Most of the cards I collected were from the 4th generation, plus I got a Meganium Collector's Tin. :DI'm looking forward to buy the Oshawott Collector's Tin..I really, really, really want it.

Speaking of the TCG forum, that is one of the sections on PC that I haven't touched since I joined. I really should

 

[donavannj]

PSA grading is grading done by the Professional Sports Authenticator group. They are experts at grading a card for its true value and condition, and a PSA 9 or PSA 10 grade can net a substantial amount of money more than non-PSA graded card. It's quite expensive to get them PSA graded, though.

You should totally post about what you get in the Oshawott tin when you do buy it over in the Booster Pack thread. (b'-')b
