Shiny/rare pokemon cards gen 1

[luddeball]

Hello, so yesterday I cleaned my old child-room and found my HUGE, and I mean HUGE collection of pokemon cards. They're all gen 1, some of them are gen 2. I've got approx 100 shiny/rares. Including the 3 birds, all shiny/rare, entei and suicune both are also rare/shiny. And a bunch of random shiny cards, some starters like charizard etc. I was wondering how much these are worth in IRL cash. I also have some normal rare cards and I'm wondering how much they're worth too:)

Also, how much is 1000 common cards worth?

1000 commons? If I had to guess, between $75 and $150. Most likely $100 or so, because selling cards in bulk tends to bring the average price per card down.

As for the others, I see you've already found the How Much is My Card Worth? thread for those, and I will work my way through pricing the first 4 you posted in there tomorrow.

Wish i hadn't gotten rid of all my old cards when i thought i grew out of it.
They're probably worth more in nostalgia value than actual money honestly.
