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.

Very true. My father worked as the sales director for a company that made packaging machinery, which packaged things into bags and boxes, shrinkwrapping them and loading them into larger boxes for shipping. The company he was visiting (no idea of the name) packed cards and games for various companies. It was not uncommon that packaging companies received items of similar shape, size and weight in order to set the machine up before the real product arrived (so they could check to make sure what the company needed packaging was packable). I would honestly not be surprised if the company in question received the cards directly from TPC International, who got them directly from TPC Japan before the english-language versions of the cards came out.

I believe my father said the company packed Pokémon Trading Card Games and even if they weren't I would be surprised if a company that was intending to buy a million dollars worth of packaging machinery based in the UK would be dealing with fake cards. Plus, of course, the cards are in Japanese, so bootlegging them for the UK market would seem a bit daft.

Equally, the quality of the printing is definitely not photocopied. I would imagine that to get printing this sharp, it would have to have been made from stolen graphics templates and printed on identical machinery and stock to the real cards. Even then it would have to have been from several separate decks over the course of 2 years.

I've managed to find the cards in the Bulbapedia, to give you a better idea of what the cards are:

Diamond & Pearl: Shining Darkness (aka Secret Wonders):
Charmander, Squirtle, Psyduck , Shellder, Voltorb, Electrorb, Mareep, Qwilfish, Sableye, Plusle, Minun, Carvanha, Sharpedo, Absol.

Moonlit Pursuit:
2x Skarmory, Houndoom

Heatran Half Deck:
Gligar, Riolu, Lucario, Gliscor, 2x Beldum, 2x Metang, Heatran

Regigigas Half Deck:
Shinx, Luxio, Mewtwo, Misdreavus, Driftloon, Drifblim

Dialga Half-Deck:
Torkoal, Chimchar, Monferno, Riolu, Lucario

Giratina Half Deck:
Turtwig, Grotle, Combee, Carnivine, Misdreavus, Mismagius

Palkia Half Deck:
Lapras, Piplup, Prinplup, Nosepass, Probopass,

Infernape Half Deck:
Rapidash 4, Flareon 4, Infernape 4, Houndoom 4,

Gallade Half Deck:
Scizor 4, Heracorss 4, Yanmega 4, Mr. Mime 4, Drapion 4

Energy cards (dated 2006):
Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, Metal

I apologise for the poor quality of my photos, but I will dig out the good digital camera to give you guys a better look.

I couldn't tell ya, to be honest. It's not really easy to put a value on unique things like R&D cards.

1. Worth very little, since World Championship decks aren't exactly in high demand.

2. Depends on which cards you have. If they're commons and uncommons, they're probably not worth very much at all.

3. Omastar: $2, Lapras $3. Everything else is worth very little at all.

4. Those trainers in particular, probably not. Trainer cards tend to be less valuable than cards of Pokemon, unless they're legal for tournament play.

You put a whole freaking lot of them there. That takes a while to research, and I've also been kinda busy in my life. Also, putting that many card price requests in a post kinda scares me off from doing it because it takes a fair bit of time to search for each one on eBay and estimate a price range and type up a worthwhile response that explains why I think it should be that price.

I'll give your first five a go, though. Remind me to do another five tomorrow. Prices and comments in bold.

Ancient Mew misprint: I'd guess $15-$30. None are currently available on eBay, though.

Can't give prices for the TR cards unless you list them.

Flying Pikachu: Depending on the condition $30-$50. Unless you get is PSA graded, in which case it could fetch up to $75, as far as I'm seeing.

Try figuring them out while you're posting. Just read the rules of each section you're considering posting in.

Ho-oh from unseen forces sparkly backround
Seadra from legends awakened shiny whole card except picture
Weezing from EX deoxys sparkly backround and logo

Mewtwo Lv. X - $7-$10. Lv. X cards are special holofoils that only have one version of the card.

Ho-oh - $3. Holofoil rare.

Seadra - Reverse Holofoil. Not worth much since it's a reverse holo of an uncommon.

Weezing - Reverse holofoil of an uncommon. Not worth much.

Sharpedo ex - $7-$9.

What about shining gyarados (neo)?
And a japanese one?
Click to expand...

English - $9-$15, more if PSA graded.

Japanese - The only one on eBay is at about $55. I'd guess the price range it'd sell in would be between $25 and $75. I don't know too much about Japanese card values, though.

I couldn't tell you. I don't know much about the values of rare Japanese cards like this one.
 
I just pulled this Reshiram, and wonder whether it's actually as rare as it says and looks :D
