Hi there,
First of all I'll introduce myself. I'm David and I WAS an avid pokemon fanatic way back when. My interest in pokemon, like most, disintegrated with age and now I find myself hoarding a bunch of pokemon related items that I am wanting shut of.
I'm telling you all this because I don't want to lie and say I'm going to be a regular visitor. I can't promise that at all. I'm just here after some information from people who know what they are talking about - YOU!
Anyway, back to my 'story'.
I managed to shift a lot of my things - The selling of Nintendos and games. I gave most of the plush toys to some nieces and nephews. However, there is just one thing remaining that I can't get shut of... My Pokemon Card Collection (PICTURES ATTACHED).
I have a nice collection of Pokemon cards. Sure, it is only of the "original" 151 Pokemon but they are all in perfect condition with a lot of Shineys included too. Other than one card the collection is complete. I have tried to sell them on ebay with no luck at all. I just don't seem to be getting any interest in them. Have I missed anything? Have I overvalued them? Is there anywhere else I should consider selling them?
I would hate for them to go for "peanuts". After all, we all know how much it costs to put such a collection together. How many booster packs were opened, the agony of getting another bloody Magicarp and of course the sheer glee that ran through the bloodstream when I revealed a Shiney Charizard! These are more than just colourful printed paper... It was once a way of life, and an expensive one at that.
Thanks for reading, any advice is welcome.
