[FS] Huge Lot Pokemon Trading Cards

[Leonardo Mystic]

Does anyone like Pokemon and want Pokemon cards? I've been trying to sell my entire collection for years now and I still can't get them sold. There are 400 cards here mint in sleeves, including Japanese, Holos, and Rares; especially of Mew and Mewtwo, from series like Fossil, Base, Neo and Gym. Also the entire Southern Islands series complete with book and box insert, but the box is a little crushed.

All I want is at least $80 plus $15 shipping with insurance and delivery confirm. If you want to offer more, that would be super. Please, someone take them off my hands. I'm down to begging now.

Here is a picture:

Attachment 1296

ETA: Went through each book, counted, and realized I have not 200, but 400 cards. Some examples of cards I have are Shining Charizard and Mewtwo, Dark Charizard and Tyranitar, E Japanese Holo Mewtwo, Beautifly and Gardevoir Holo. There are also quite a few 1st Edition cards.

If you want to get $80 for a lot of cards, I'd recommend putting more effort into the pictures than a small picture of closed books. Show people exactly what they're buying. The best thing would be to provide a picture of each page of cards in each book. It'd be a lot of work, clearly, but the amount you get is going to reflect the amount you put in.

Pokemon cards are a tough market - even with good pictures I don't think you'll get $80. If each book is full, I'd list each of them separately and start the bidding for each at $9.99. And bonus: Insertion fees are free on eBay for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow.

Good luck.

Resident Pokemon card expert in these forums, hate to break it to you but pokemon cards from the early years (basically the expansions you list) are mostly worthless. It really depends on the cards you have and without knowing there is no way to tell how much you may have but unless you have some actual rare stuff you are looking at getting around 10-20 bucks for everything.

Back when I collected these, I sought mostly Holos and Rares. There was also the occasional cute non-holo/rare, but it was mainly the hard to get cards. I remember once paying $20 for a single card, a Japanese Holo Mewtwo, but I'm not expecting to get anywhere near that. In fact, I'm not expecting to get anywhere the hundreds of dollars I really would rather have, but I think $80 is extremely reasonable. For 400 cards, I'm practically giving them away.

[Voidoid]

Why would someone want to offer "more" for cards they don't know they're getting?

[Samhain]

There might be 400 cards, but doesnt mean they are valuable. 400 holos, maybe. I say list the most valuable cards individually then just throw the not so rare cards in as freebies. Even then, sometimes they dont sell.

[sdp]

Like others said it doesn't matter if its all rare/holo cards, most of those cards are worth cents, literally. Unless you have something like a 1st edition Charizard you're out of luck. So yes its extremely unreasonable to sell Pokemon cards for $80 when no one even knows what they are getting, I can already tell you no one is going to buy them on ebay like that a more accurate price of what you'd get on ebay is 10-20 dollars depending how lucky you are.

edit: hmm just saw some of the cards you listed, Shining Charizard is worth something like 10-20 alone depending on the condition, it'd be best to just list them here and I'll tell you what is worth something, if you have decent holos you might get the 80 dollars through separate listings, definitely not on one listing though, you'll need to do more work. Also stating you have 400 cards on ebay is not a good selling point since like I stated earlier most holos from those eras are literally a dime a dozen.

It is 400 cards for $95 (price includes the shipping). Do the math. It is less than a penny per card. Even if the collection was all Magicarp, Weedle, Beedrill and Diglett you still paid less than a penny per card.

But given the choice no one wants to pay a penny for a Magicarp, Weedle, Beedrill and Diglett card.

[Leonardo Mystic]

*facepalm* You are still not getting it.

You know what? I don't know why I even bothered. I had no idea I was going to encounter this much resistance. I'm done with the thread.

If they sell, they sell. If they don't, someone at Goodwill is going to be very happy. This just reminds me why I give crap away rather than try to make a little bit of money back.

It isnt 1999 anymore. No one is gonna pay that much money blindly on Pokemon cards. If you took the time to take some pics of the valuable ones, we could help you out with making the most money you possibly can. Dont take offense we are just letting you know the market for these.

If anything, sell the cards that are worth selling individually then donate the rest to Goodwill. Its a win-win.

[Roseangelo]

People are just trying to help you; no need to flip out about it. There's a big gap between $95 and giving them to Goodwill for free. Taking some of the advice given would get you something instead of nothing.

Wouldn't a penny a card for 400 cards be $4, not $95?

[Leonardo Mystic]

I have a list up now.

these are worth something:

not sure what, check the price guide at pokegym.net though its not an entirely 100% price guide.

These below I am not sure they could be worth something or next to nothing, not familiar enough, Mewtwo EX should be 2-3 dollars..

Japanese Blastoise*
Mewtwo EX
Japanese Team Rocket's Mewtwo
Japanese Snorlax*
Japanese Porygon*
Japanese Charizard*
Japanese Venusar*
Japanese EX Mewtwo
Japanese Nintendo Gameboy Mewtwo Promo
Meowth Nintendo Gameboy Promo
Japanese McDonald's Sunset Mew Promo

You might get close to the 85 you want from those cards depending how much the ones above go for but not the way your current ebay listing is, no one is going to buy that. To make the most money out of them sell them separately and list them all at once. If you're lazy just sell them as "shining pokemon cards lot" but you won't get as much as if you sold them individually. As for the other rares and other cards you can just sell them as a lot like your current listing but start it at .99 cents you might get 10-15 bucks out of them. You can also try selling them at pokegym.net, they won't give you as much as Pokemon but thats a good community of TCG players.

Its not easy if you aren't in the game anymore how much your collection is worth but yeah regular rares no matter in what quantity (and 400 really isn't much) its only Pokemon cards like Shining, some EX, LVl. X or Star Pokemon that are worth money. Especially when people want to sell their collection of 1999-2001 cards when they printed millions of them so they are worthless and you might as well give them away for free. Just trying to help.

I never was in the game. Didn't know anything about it. I just collected the cards to collect them.

[Samhain]

As far as the shining cards: The Coro Coro shining Mew will get you $25-$30.

Shininh Charizard: $5-$25
Shining Mewtwo-$5-$20
Shining Tyranitar-$5-$20

Keep in mind, these are just averages from the latest ending prices on Ebay. Getting that kind of money for those card depends on the condition of them and the time and day the auction is ending on. So it really depends. But I find it funny that you took the time to type all that out instead of just taking pictures of the cards. Which would have been easier and more effective since there really isnt any way of knowing if you are listing ''Shiny Mewtwo from the Holon Phantoms set'' or ''Triple star Shining Mewtwo from the Neo Destiny set''.

It would make the most out of your sale if people know exactly what they are getting. Because there are about 20 different Japanese Blastoise Holo's. Just my 2cents.

Did you note the asterisk? I correctly identified it and the others with the same asterisk.

Yes, my mistake. But my main point was the shining cards.

I was not aware there were Shinings from other series, but I did look and mine are all from Neo Destiny. I also discovered the Mewtwo is 1st Edition.

ETA: List has been updated.
