Anyone collect/play pokemon cards?

[aussy]

I seek advice! I have all these Japanese cards from like 13 years ago (like 25 foils if that matters, imakuni's doduo!) and I have no idea how to go about selling them. I tried to find a community to sell them on, but it seems like just taking a picture of every page and listing it up on ebay all together is my best bet. Thoughts?

local hobby store or a buy website like starcity games or collstuffinc.com selling one card at a time is frustrating and a lot of those teenage bastards have shady ebay practices. when i played magic tournaments regularly about 3-4 years ago i made 1000$ a month just from selling the winning cards to buy sites. its easy and they put it right in your paypal.

I still have all my pokemon cards in a pokemon binder.

I was always unlucky with those booster packs. I had a sweet deck of Pogeymans but only like two energy cards for each type. They really needed to release energy-only packs back then. I wonder if you can even sell Pokemon cards now; aren't they as numerous as Beany Babies?

Some dude told me 1st editions are worth crazy money, the rest is worthless

I heard the same thing about 1st editions. The bubble burst a long time ago on this stuff, so I'd say just hold onto it for a while. When we're all rich and nostalgic (20-30 years from now), they may be valuable again.

I used to collect. Never actually tried to play.

I have like everything from the first set. Some of that has to be worth moneys... thanks for the reminder.

As for playing : no, no, never. Just MTG.

Man, just that art style is such a nostalgia rush.

This.

Also, I was walking around old Ellicott City a few weeks ago and I shit you not they were selling Legos for $5 a scoop (a SMALL sandbucket full) at these antique and boutique toy stores. It just blew my mind that something like used Legos were popping up in stores for a decent amount of money.

I've still got all of my Pokemon and Magic cards at my mom's house sitting in a box. Maybe one day they will be worth something, although a majority of the Magic Cards are well played

magic = easy cash. id say half of my gear was funded through selling my mtg collection

Pssshht, you only have enough to fit in one binder.

One day, my holographic Zapdos was stolen during lunch in like...the 6th grade. It just disappeared.
A few months later, my friend down the street knocks on my door and runs away. I look and there's an apology note written in crayon, along with my Zapdos.
Pokemon cards.
