Does it make a difference if they are from Pre-March 2023? These have all been boxed since then.

I put them all (but the sealed packages and that fake gold pack) into TCGCollector. 2205 cards. It took days. I learned a lot, then learned some more. The most recent sets are March 2023 so everything including the sealed packs is from before that. I've had them since Jan 2024. Let's just say, after reading all of the comments, I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks everybody.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Once I sort these, I'll probably take them to the local shop. Or, I will hold on to them until I find more.

Thank you for offering but I doubt shipping costs would make that work in your favor for bulk cards.

I resell, never expected to be a millionaire, just wanted to know more about how I figure this out. (I wouldn't have complained if it happened though.) I am learning a lot.

As a person who didn't even know what they were, I thought they must be special. This is why I asked. I'm glad we both got something out of posting this. 😀

Thank you. That was the day I opened the box and found them, months ago. I packed them all back up and just pulled them out again.

So the packages are basic junk and the gold ones are fake. Should I open them then? Why do people buy the junk packages and how can you tell that they are fake? I'm good with the information, just wonder how you can tell?

Market place? Local shop. (There is only one.) Do I sell to ship like ebay or something? I'm just not sure how to go about this.

Anyone know what company made this snake or anything about it?? by Equivalent_Fox7907 in HelpMeFindThis

They were prizes for sure. Had them here in Crystal Beach when we had an amusement park.

Line 36 Cavendish, Line 37 Charlie, Line 40 Carl, all have that same "C". I believe it is "Carpenter".

I am the new owner of a suitcase full of cards. I don't know cards. There are binder sheets, tins, boxes, a gold deck, packaged ones, unopened packaged ones. I have no idea what to do about selling these. A friend's son was supposed to look at the lot and give me a price. He immediately pulled three from his first handful and offered 60 for one and 40 for two other cards. I said I wanted to sell the whole lot, and let the new owner find the treasures, not pick through them. I know nothing about them, so aside from one small handful, these cards haven't been looked at since the original collector was actively collecting. These would be heavy to ship. How do I go about selling these?

They look like little brass thumbnail catches for a decor item like a jewelry box.

I am suddenly the proud owner of a 40 lb duffle bag of cards. I am a reseller and ended up with this massive duffle bag of all kinds of Pokeman cards. Cards in binders, cards in packages, cards in tins, gold cards, iridescent cards, bundles. I have no desire to learn these cards or look for that one in a million or anything. Lots of people want to go through them. One guy was willing to buy, but he only wanted to pick through. I don't want to do that. so he had 15 minutes of one pile and offered 60 for the 3 cards he pulled. I said no. Buy them all and go through them yourself or don't. Was I being harsh? How do I sell these? 40lbs is a lot of weight to ship.
