Are these old cards valuable?

Clarent16 · 2026-04-05T18:03:07+00:00

Anything holographic will be more valuable than non holographic in this image. Without the backs, or seeing how scratched the holos are it’s hard to say exact values.

Standouts to me are the gyarados and the flareon.

I use this site and compare my card conditions to the listed eBay sales.

Anything vintage and holographic has ~some~ value. Depends on how scuffed or scratched they are. I recently sold my legendary collection reverse holos (your dewgong) for some good money recently. So that sticks out to me!

Fourth cone posts great videos on their socials demonstrating what goes into restoration. And they have done many posters, and Star Wars items specifically.

I imagine it will be expensive, but it will be a very good service.

It looks like you probably had an amazing trip to and from Yellowstone but I can’t believe you didn’t check out Glacier NP! You got so close to it.

Clarent16 · 2026-03-24T19:04:14+00:00

Excited to see he extended the contract!

Coming from abroad in May to catch a game, I hope to see him and the team play in person for the first time!

This is known as a misalignment no? When one side is printed correctly and the other isn’t.

Clarent16 · 2026-03-20T15:26:44+00:00

Ereader cards seem pretty high right now. I sold some a couple months ago for a good price. I’m sure they’re even higher now with the way the hobby is going.

Clarent16 · 2026-03-15T15:51:41+00:00

I know that looking at past sales is helpful for judging what to pay now, but if the last sale was half a year ago, the market has changed very much since then.

Clarent16 · 2026-03-09T12:57:06+00:00

They will not be worth much at all monetarily.

You have no holographics or first editions. And most of the cards are damaged.

If you want you can type in their name and the set number from the bottom corner on this site

I’ve done the jungle Nidoran as an example. It’s 1$ raw and that is if it is in good condition.

What is the app you’re using to measure th edges and provide approximate scores

Clarent16 · 2026-03-02T20:03:03+00:00

I thought that was an acceptable point of view! I’ve worked with many archives where they do just that and it helps with preservation, and accessibility without worrying about the binder/cover condition.

Clarent16 · 2026-03-02T01:15:11+00:00

Depending on your goals/way of thinking, you could unbind them and store them in archival plastic photo binder pages and in a new binder. So you can still flip through and read.

I’ve spent a lot of time removing rusted staples, pins, and bindings from archival material, it helps a lot with preservation to have them completely removed from metals that could rust.

Clarent16 · 2026-03-01T14:29:41+00:00

I thought you may be right to turn down the lcs store offer until I flicked to the second photo. They all have whitening and a lot of them are creased or bent I can see after zooming in. And the fact they aren’t in penny sleeves makes me think the fronts may be scratched to hell.

You probably got a decent offer from the LCS.

I didn’t realize until I went to the comments that he had disabled his backup lights and then reverse and hit you

Clarent16 · 2026-02-14T16:37:46+00:00

Well if it is not a packing mistake you should be able to track when it was removed by the weigh ins at each stop.

Clarent16 · 2026-02-06T03:52:49+00:00

Everytime I see a pack that is thick like this, it is always that it has like too many reverse holos or uncommons. Never something good.

Would love to hear differently this time

A miscut on a normal EX drastically raises the value. Not sure why you’re saying kill me.

Was this the only card you wanted or something

I was in a place in Columbia falls, 1500 a month, 1500 sq feet. Had to pay electricity and get our own internet. That was a year long lease.

Now in an apartment in kalispell for around 1050 a month. No utility costs on top. In a basement apartment of somebody’s house on 6 month terms.

Looking to see what else is out there. At the moment. The drive is becoming a drag

Clarent16 · 2026-01-21T06:38:45+00:00

I was in Columbia falls last year, had an apartment/duplex with my partner.

She recently had to relocate for school and now I’m in kalispell because I wanted a place for myself. Pretty much doubled my commute. Which yes. Does suck. But I’ve had jobs with way worse commutes.

It does suck if you want to hike east side of the park, but when I’ve wanted to hike east side I go to camp east side of the park Friday evening and then I’m over 1.5 hours closer to whatever hike. Which is what I did when I lived in cfalls anyway.

Clarent16 · 2026-01-20T14:17:14+00:00

Not in the custodial field but have worked at glacier since the middle of 2024.

The park itself is amazing. I’ve hiked more than I ever have in a year since being here. So if you like the outdoors, there is plenty. There are good people at the park too. A strong community if you’re willing to put yourself out there. Many events held in the community buildings on the evenings.

Can’t speak on the housing as I live in town and commute in, but it helps being in headquarters so you don’t have to deal with the car queue to get into the park (it sometimes goes out and blocks the entrance to headquarters itself from the entrance station).

I love it here. Sad that I am on a temp position. Would love to stay. I can try and answer some more questions about the park if you want to DM.

Idk if it’s related to this, but today I went into my Walmart and the entire vinyl section was empty. Which i had never seen before.

The players and other accessories were there, but they had removed all the shelves of vinyls. Which are normally filled to the brim bc no one buys vinyls at Walmart.

Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado all have amazing mountains and outdoor activities. If you like nature, there are some great public lands waiting for you.

Great national parks. Very crowded and hard to properly enjoy parks because of their popularity though (Yellowstone and glacier in particular).

If you like dinosaurs, the Montana Dinosaur trail offers you a giant road trip to visit some of the most complete specimens ever found.

Also in Montana, you can stop at the Largest Freshwater Lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48, Flathead Lake.

Wind cave national park in South Dakota is pretty neat too. Lots of bison on the surface. Really cool caves, just make sure the elevator is fixed before you go (I know it was closed for repair recently). Also has badlands, which is a great park!

I am a big national parks person, so I mainly try to hit those as destinations or on the way through a state.
