I have discovered many shadowless cards

[santangelost]

After almost a decade of sitting in my closet I found my old pokemon cards after hearing about the infamous "1st edition" set that is said to be worth so much (Im one of those people that had the VHS tape pokemon promotional video sent to my house before any american even knew what pokemon was), and it was over a year before the card game ever came out.

Needless to say, I was disappointed in finding no 1st edition basic set cards except Machamp in my collection.

After a lot of research on ebay, etc. I realized I do have many shadowless basic set 1 cards atleast::

And my question to any of you is, are these shadowless worth anything: (perfect condition) ::::

Nice. I just found all my 1st edition cards. Pokemon and pocket monsters!

so are my cards worth anything as shadowless?

It varies, but I don't do pricings of commons and uncommons even if they're shadowless because even the shadowless ones still usually sit at less than $1 apiece unless they're also an error card. The Base Set rares sit between $2 and $4 even for their shadowless versions, generally, while the holos have the most variance in value because they're generally the most valuable.

And we do have a pricing thread at the top of the forum for this sort of question, so ask there for your rares and holos. The red cheeked Pikachu would also be worth posting there.
