Did any of you have original Pokémon cards from back

[latverian41]

In the late 90s?

If so do you still have them?

My ex kids collected yuigioh cards. They gave me some . I kept not worth as much as Pokémon but was a good game

[FelixTheCat1919]

Yeah I've still got the holographics and some other rares in a card holding book somewhere, I got rid of the rest about 20 years ago though

[NealIRC]

They 1st came out 1998, yes I still have some from 1999.

[CellyTech]

Nah man I dunno where the fuk they all went. Prob binned. Real shame though, my barber is around the same age as me and kept a lot of his. Think he said he has approx £10,000 worth of cards lol.

fine then, talk only to people who lost them all and not people who can literally grab the best part of their old stash right now and discuss it with you

this is a poorly titled misery thread

basically if you make a thread "anyone else got a small cawk?"

and then some guy comes in bragging about his 9 inch kielbasa then you wouldnt respond to him

is your charizard 1st gen?

I got 2 Charizards.


One was a 2nd edition in some $10 pack of cards my parents got me. It was this deal where the guy was selling them at a mall kiosk and pre-wrapped them himself, knowing exactly 1 had a Charizard out of like 8 remaining packs. I opened the Charizard.

The second one I got was a regular edition Charizard out of the final pack of Pokemon cards I ever bought. The card shop I was playing Pokemon card league in was mysteriously selling out a couple old boxes of unopened regular edition OG Pokemon cards when they were well into 2nd or 3rd or whatever edition. Got a Charizard, decided to call it a day and end my collection there.

The one I could never fkn get in a pack was Blastoise. Paid some incel at the same kiosk $40 for the Blastoise I do have. This was all back in like 1999, and $40 felt like an impressive amount of money at the time.

[ScrillaIsBake]

I pulled a $280 pokemon card out of a pack last week srs. A lot of modern cards are worth a lot still

Sold all my cards from when I was a kid tho which I regret

[TappingTheZen]

Yep dug em out last year, many of them are not just holographic but first editions. Haven't properly looked at their value yet though, although i looked at a few last year and a few of the holo first editions seem to be worth decent money

Sweet.

Do you play magic?

My friend I was talking about last night who got divorced had an amazing collection/group of cards.

I just never could get into it.

Dude pokemon cards are worth a lot of money if they are from back on the day.

[Akd123]

might be worth a lot more than that

[TappingTheZen]

Yeah they are from the OG sets, and they are first edition. When i had a preliminary look the first editions were worth serious money, i guess i need to sort them out at some point. They're sat in my office in plastic.

[latverian41]

might be worth a lot more than that

Depending on its condition yes

If anyone of you have late 90s pokemon cards I suggest you look up their value. It's crazy

Never could get into Magic myself, either. I was kind of on the young side for that in the 90's, and wasn't into cards enough later to do it then

Depending on its condition yes

I figure I could get a few hundred bucks for my collection of rare Pokemon cards from the right person, but they were stored in a card holding book with the card holder sleeves. So they are definitely far from mint.

Crazy to think that even really good condition ones wouldn't have come anywhere near paying for the thousands of dollars my parents got me in Pokemon stuff over the years

i havent seen mine in over 20 years. i was not a serious collector at all

[swolefnatic]

I had a rare holographic dark charizard. Think it came out in the first edition from the original anime in 1998. I lost it throughout the years. Today it’d be worth $10,000

[latverian41]

My ex got me into pokemon I never liked it before that. It's a good cartoon for sure

[Titansfan08]

I've been buying past couple years. Plan to give to my kids when they get older. Have made some pretty good returns on some if I sold today.

Awesome.

I plan on buying all the toys I lose back and pass them on to my son. Transformers G1 star wars etc etc

They keep their value

[GaryRidgway]

I gave most of them to my cousin a long time ago. Fukkin sloot owes me like million dollars now. I want my fukkin cards back.

[Unstumpable]

I had all of the good ones, but no idea what happened to them. I never sold them, but they’re gone now.

Same with Yugioh, I had amazing decks. And don’t remember selling them. But nowhere to be found.
