    I just looked through my old decks of Pokémon Cards, and was wondering the price of some cards. I've found lots of prices on different websites, but not all. I'd be glad if someone could help me with these:

    Base Set Fighting Energy, BUT in reverse holo ("cosmic" holo pattern, only the background of the energy with those white swirls, that part is holo.) I got it from some competition IIRC. (Some other differences: There's no actual card number on it, i.e. the 97/102 is NOT there. Also, the copyright text says "(c)1995-2000 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK.", the one on the original base set says "(c)1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK. (c)1999 Wizards." The copyright text feels more centered than the one on the original base set too.)

    (Wizards Black Star) Promo #47, Mew. This one: link.

    Base Set Machamp, Rare holo. Edition one, but WITH shadow. Just wondering, after reading the quote below, that shouldn't be possible?
    Pokegal said:
    the first editions of the base set don't have that little shadow around the box with the picture in it (see the shadow, toward the right side?)

    After they decided to stop printing first editions, they just took the little 'first edition' label off the card, and left the rest the same. For about a week.

    After a week they decided it looked too plain, so they added that shadow to the box around pokemon to add more pizaz.

    Ho-oh, skyridge, 149/144 (Rare holo). It's the one with Crystal Type, in almost a "Almost Mint" condition. I've read that it's pretty rare.

    Rocket's Sneasel, Best of Wizards #5, WITHOUT winner stamp.
    Rocket's Sneasel, Best of Wizards #5, WITH winner stamp.
    Electabuzz, Best of Wizards #1, WITH winner stamp. (Reverse holo)

    Articuno, Wizards black star promo #48, this one: link.

    Articuno, fossile set, rare holo.

    Japanese "Pokémon March" from the Neo Genesis set. What's odd to me is that it features the "Illus." text and rarity symbol (common, black circle), but no copyright stuff or card number. I guess it could be a fake card, but it DOES show copyright texts on the reverse side. (In red, since it's that japanese background with "Pocket Monsters" written around a pokéball.)

    That's all, for now anyways. Thanks in advance for all help.

    Special Card

    How much do you think is a Japanese Holo Raichu worth in U.S. currency?
    I'm not sure about the moves and HP because it's my friends and I don't want him to get ripped off in a trade. He also hase and Ancient Mew (holo both sides)
    Thanks.

    when I was collecting pokemon I got a boss's way trainer card that was hollographic. The hollographic pattern looked different and there was a line running down the middle that looked like a fold but it was a new pack. There was a diamond in the corner which meant it was only uncommon. Anybody know what thats all about?

    Hi, I'm new and need a little help

    Hi, I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I'm trying to make some money by selling off my Pokemon card collection. I just wanted to know if I could get some help with what each card is worth. They're all in perfect condition, I never actually learned how to play. (Just to be clear, I am not trying to sell them here, as you can see by the fact that I haven't listed my ebay username at all, I'm just asking for a little help since I know very little about Pokemon and know no one else who knows anything about them). I was also wondering if you guys could tell me if there is any other info to include in the ad? Should I list them as one lot, or separately? So here's the list so far;

    Fire cards;
    Arcanine - 100 hp, 23/102, uncommon
    Charmander - 50 hp, 46/102, common
    Charmander - 50 hp, 97/165, common
    Charmeleon - 80hp, 35/130, uncommon
    Charizard - 120hp, 46/165, rare
    Charizard - 120hp, 4/102, rare HOLO/FOIL (Spanish)
    Cyndaquil - 50hp, 57/111, common (Spanish)
    Growlite - 50hp, 80/147, common
    Galopa - 70hp, 44/67, uncommon (Spanish)
    Ponyta - 40hp, 87/110, common SPARKLY/FOIL
    Ponyta - 50hp, 64/182, common
    Magmar - 70hp, 39/62, uncommon
    Sulfura - 70hp, 27/62, rare (Spanish)
    Vulpix - 50hp, 136/165, common
    I think most of the cards are from about 1995-2002.
    (I have photos, but apparently can't link. So if you need to see them to give me an idea of what you think they're worth, just go to; photobucket, search 'palmettoshorty', then go to 'stuff for sale'. Please ignore all the rest of my photos, lol don't ask..)

    Thanks for any help!

    Honestly, pokemon cards are worth crap anymore sadly.
    I thought holding onto them was gonna be worth it, but so far, not such a good idea. =/
