I can tell you right off that any of those damaged cards will not fetch anywhere close to what you see them listed for on eBay. Most of the rest will fetch you between $2 and $4, though I'm too tired right now to list which specifically are worth what.

 

[Eeveemaster9]

These are my old cards...How much are they worth?

 

[donavannj]

Only this one is really worth anything at the moment:

Zapdos (Fossil) - $2, in the condition yours is in, I would say.

If Flareon were in better condition, it'd be worth more.

 

[Eeveemaster9]

I don't see any noticable damage to them. What do you mean exactly...?

 

[donavannj]

The white bits around the edges downgrade the cards to at least as low as excellent condition, which is far less valuable than near mint or mint condition cards.

Either way, the only ones worth much individually are still just Zapdos ($4 if mint/near mint) and Flareon ($2 if mint/near mint). The others are quite common comparatively, and aren't worth all that much even in mint condition. Ones with a black circle and a 1 inside that circle on them are more valuable, but on more common cards this value increase is much smaller.

Does anyone know how much this card is worth? :3

Not that I'm looking to sell it, but how much is Luxray LVL51 from Legends Awakened for?

Spoiler:

Mine isn't that ordinary though, it's like the one in the spoiler, it has a dotty-shiny background.

Not that i'm looking to sell this either, but how much is this worth:

Spoiler:

It's a LVL59 Elite Four Gallade. I think it's from Rising Rivals. Wouldn't be sure since i got it in a trade, not from the actual pack that it came from. Mine isn't like the pic, it has a shiny purple surrounding. The picture isn't shiny, but the Purple.....ness of the card is.

Pikachu 115/114 Ultra rare?

Was wondering how much a Pikachu 115/114 will run on today's market? I found one 2 days ago in the Black and White set.

Legendary Collection Charizard goes for between $5-10 depending on its condition.

Luxray Legends Awakened (which is a holofoil rare like you're describing) goes for anywhere from $2-$5. I'd say it's probably about $3-4, though.

Gallade 4 goes for about $2 normally, so about that for a reverse holofoil version of it (that's what the foil pattern you're describing is called).

Was wondering how much a Pikachu 115/114 will run on today's market? I found one 2 days ago in the Black and White set.

It goes between anywhere from $10-$20. I'd say you'd have better luck selling it for $10, though.

 

[arcanineflames23]

I've got a pikachu exclusive from the first movie card, any idea how much its worth?

 

[Rocket_Executive]

You mean the one with the kid's WB movie stamp in the top right? It's worth about $2.

I wanted to know, in general, are Pokemon cards with errors worth more because of their errors or worth less because people will assume it isn' real?

I have a Rapidash from Jungle (44/64) that says "Put Rapidash on the Stage 1 card" when actually, Rapidash is the Stage 1 card so it's obviously an error.

I also have a Promo Marill #29 that list its stats below the picture as "Height and Weight" instead of "Length and Weight".

Neither are in great shape, so I probably would never sell these. This is more of a "What if" type of question.

Thanks!

I wanted to know, in general, are Pokemon cards with errors worth more because of their errors or worth less because people will assume it isn' real?

It depends on how rare the error is. For example, the Dark Persian promo with no HP is worth considerably more than a normal one because so few made it into the public's hands.

I have a Rapidash from Jungle (44/64) that says "Put Rapidash on the Stage 1 card" when actually, Rapidash is the Stage 1 card so it's obviously an error.

I also have a Promo Marill #29 that list its stats below the picture as "Height and Weight" instead of "Length and Weight".

Those errors are on all versions of the cards, so they're not worth any more than normal. In Rapidash's case, all Jungle versions have the error. It's Legendary Collection version is corrected, however.

 

[WooperIsMyFave92]

Oh. Well that's an epic fail! In a way, I'm glad because the cards aren't in great shape so they wouldn't have been worth much even if it was a rare error LOL. I'd be really regretful if I had something that could have been worth money :/ But thanks for the information! :)

Hello, I just found my old TCG deck amongst some stuff in the attic. It is quite old and was just wondering how much I could sell it for. (Note: I'm selling it in USD or SGD.)

It's the Wildfire Theme Deck from the EX Emerald expansion, and all information on the cards can be found here. :)

P.S. I'm selling just the cards and the counters. I seemed to have lost the single-player mat, rulebook and card list. Oh well, no one needs rulebooks since they should know how to play, right? XD

Without access to a pricing site, I'd estimate that it'd sell for about $7 unsealed.

Hi: a former TCG player here, but been out of the hobby for a good few years (got a couple of 1st generation decks, but stopped playing around 2002, sadly).

A couple of years back, a family member gave me some Pokémon cards they got from work, remembering I used to play them at some point. I said thanks and put them in a drawer, but now I've got them out again, there's something a bit strange about them.

They're a set of 64 cards dated between 2007 and 2008 and appear to come from a selection of decks as far as I can tell. They're also entirely in Japanese (which is not that strange). What's odd is that they are also square-cut (some of them have a slight white edge to them) and have the word 'TEST' printed on them on both sides.

I don't think they are fakes as they are very finely printed, but equally I don't think I've seen any like them. Any thoughts about what they could be? I've attached a couple of photos for clarity's sake.

Those look like high-quality fakes (yes, such quality fakes do exist), but I think some of the more serious collectors here might know better than I if they still frequent these forums. They lack the distinctly rounded edges that the official cards have always had, though.

They could also be cards used in R&D over in Japan, but I doubt it because of the unlikeliness that any company short of Nintendo America or its other international equivalents themselves could end up with cards used in R&D in Japan.
