    This is the new thread where you can ask how much your card is worth. Don't be afraid to help out with the pricing. Doing it all by myself is pretty boring and time-consuming and I'd like to learn what sources other people use for pricing their cards.

    Remember there is to be no selling on PokéCommunity. This thread is only to ask about the typical value of a card. If you wanna sell, you'll have to find another community online for it.

    As a courtesy to those who are pricing cards, do not list more than 4 cards at a time! If you have listed 4 cards and they haven't been priced yet, wait until they're priced! 4 at a time per person per pricing round is a reasonable limit to keep things manageable for those who actually care enough to price out cards! Personally, I will only price the first 4 cards you list if you list more than 4 before I've had a chance to price out your first 4! The only exception to this is asking about an entire set, which counts as one card for the purpose of this rule, since 90% of the time, there's precedent for selling a completed set together.

    When listing a card, please provide as much information as possible. The ideal information consists of the following:

    1. Card name.
    2. Set the card is from. You can tell this by the set symbol located either in the bottom right corner of the card or to the bottom right of the picture.
    3. The collector's number (the number in the bottom right corner of the card that goes something like 1/102 or 1/64 or 1/99) of the card.
    4. Whether it is first edition or not (as in, does it have a 1 inside a solid black circle to the bottom right of the picture). This only applies to cards from sets released before the Legendary Collection in English. Japanese cards, on the other hand, are a different story.
    5. Whether it is shadowless or not (as in, having no shadow behind the picture and not having bolded HP text). This only applies to cards from the Base Set (the only set that has no set symbol).

    And one more thing:
    [PokeCommunity.com] Official "How much is my card worth?" Thread [READ THE FIRST POST]

    Please do not ask for prices of commons and uncommons, as they are generally worth less than $0.50 apiece. If you did not know, these are the cards that have a little black circle (black circles indicating a rarity of common) or a little black diamond (black diamonds indicating a rarity of uncommon) on the bottom right corner of the card. The reason this rule has been added is because too many people are asking about prices for commons, and pricing is too time consuming to price out cards of these rarities when the vast majority of these are worth less than fifty cents. Some notable exceptions to this include very useful Trainer cards that are legal in the current modified format.

    As an added note, this thread is exempt from the rule that states there is to be no double posting. Though spamming is completely not okay.

    So, all of this is all notes. Every card was from the Diamond and Pearl era (i.e. 2007). I think that this is all around $95, but I'm wondering what everyone else thinks. So, what is the price of all 178 of these cards?

    Yes, they are, though if you have only 30 minutes to find out if they're worth it, it's probably quicker to figure it out yourself instead of waiting on someone to see a post online.

    Lol im terrible at things like that, even though i did take a look myself. how much do you think they would all be worth individually?

    Well nevermind, times up on them. Missed opportunity i guess.

    I have been holding onto a Diamond/Pearl: Secret wonders Venusaur (holographic, Near Mint condition). The name is also holographic, but hard to make out because the name "Shuppet" was printed over top (holographic as well).
    I checked for symptoms of it being fake... it's not. I have a factory misprint card, that has not happened on a large enough scale to be noticed (seeing as how Google searches for others of this card turned up zilch).
    Is is valuable, or possibly fake after all?

    Could you upload a picture or two as an attachment to your next post? I'm curious as to what this looks like. Although I'm pretty sure the name is NOT supposed to be holographic on the card, even though the picture is.

    I'll get to the cards you three have posted later this week.

    I'm seeing those go for around $4-$10 and some of the lower priced ones are still in the platic packaging.

    Does anyone know how much a 1st edition charizard card is worth in Spanish and Dutch? They are in mint condition.

    Finally someone else who's helping with pricing! Out of curiosity, where are you seeing that price?

    If I had to guess (since I've been having trouble finding some for sale on eBay), I'd say they'd fetch between $10 and $20 based on the price of the English one.

    Ok, 3 more cards:

    Gligar (Shadowless i think)
    HP: 350 (!?!?)
    Retreat Cost: ***** (5)(!?!?!)

    49/90 - Nothing but the hp and retreat cost are weird about this one...except that the hp and name text are in gold...

    ____

    Maractus
    12/114 - If its holographic, its the weirdest holo ive ever seen, it makes it almost impossible to see in the pic!

    ____

    Munna
    48/114

    Same thing as the Maractus, but 5x as bad....

    Proabably all fakes, i got them in package though, but its probably not too hard to forge a fake plastic wrapping too :P

    Gligar is for sure fake.

    Maractus is likely real. Not sure if it's a holofoil rare or not (I think it is), but that looks like the new holo pattern they're using on Pokemon cards now.

    Munna looks fake.

    Could you get better pictures up? I'd also like to know what the set symbol for the card is. It's at the lower-right-hand corner of the card, and for these two is should be a square box with 4 square boxes inside of it, the top-left and bottom-right ones being white, and the top-right and bottom-left ones being black.
     
    I'll get to the cards you three have posted later this week.



    Finally someone else who's helping with pricing! Out of curiosity, where are you seeing that price?

    If I had to guess (since I've been having trouble finding some for sale on eBay), I'd say they'd fetch between $10 and $20 based on the price of the English one.



    Gligar is for sure fake.

    Maractus is likely real. Not sure if it's a holofoil rare or not (I think it is), but that looks like the new holo pattern they're using on Pokemon cards now.

    Munna looks fake.

    Could you get better pictures up? I'd also like to know what the set symbol for the card is. It's at the lower-right-hand corner of the card, and for these two is should be a square box with 4 square boxes inside of it, the top-left and bottom-right ones being white, and the top-right and bottom-left ones being black.

    Yes, thats the symbol, what makes munna look fake?
    and if the maractus and munna arent fake, what are they worth individually?

    I wont even bother with better pics, those are the best i could get, atleast of maractus and munna. the new holofoil makes pictures almost impossible, atleast with my phone camera.

    Try ripping one of the commons you got in the pack, it shouldn't rip too easily if it's real. Also when you break it there should be an in betweent the image and the cardboard, if there is then it's fake.
