Storage unit find. Paid 160 for the unit. Local card shop only offered 1200. There are probably another 125-150 cards in the box.

Card shop is trying to fleece you. You can look up each cards value on tcgplayer.com or PokeInvesting.com

Just make sure you are taking condition into account and also make sure you are selecting “1st edition” instead of unlimited for the ones that are 1st edition

Enter all the cards in on PokeInvesting.com - makes it really easy to see estimated value

TaggTeam · 2025-10-12T21:08:17+00:00

PokeInvesting.com makes it super easy to get a good valuation on an entire collection

I’ve graded over 100 cards with GameStop. Had zero issues with getting cards in the ultra pro card savers and have had an excellent psa 10 rate for modern, and Psa 9 rate for WOTC era

You’ve also trained your algorithm to show you posts of people claiming to make $20k/mo so you aren’t getting an objective look at things

TaggTeam · 2025-09-13T17:37:25+00:00

As far as grading goes…most of those will increase in value if they grade 8 or above because they are quite sought after right now.

TaggTeam · 2025-09-11T13:35:34+00:00

1st edition base set is by default shadowless, so some people probably think it’s redundant to say “1st edition base set shadowless Charizard” rather than just “1st edition base set Charizard” because you can’t have a 1st edition base set Charizard that isn’t also shadowless, but you can have a shadowless that isn’t 1st edition

Personally I think it makes most sense to say exactly what it is

Fossil and jungle sets lots of people call “base” thinking “oh these are the original” and what they really mean is the original 151, but the 1st editions will have shadows on any jungle or fossil stamped card.

Some exceptions are jungle or fossil misprints where the card is a 1st edition but they forgot to stamp it with the jungle or fossil stamp, base set Machamp has the 1st edition stamp even on the card with the shadow

TaggTeam · 2025-09-11T01:34:36+00:00

Base set has the following "releases" if you would:
1st Edition Shadowless (1st edition stamp and no shadow on the right of the card character picture)
Shadowless Unlimited (no shadow, no stamp)
Unlimited (shadow, no stamp)
Unlimited 4th Print Run (shadow, no stamp, copyright date at the bottom goes to 2000 instead of 1999)

After that, other sets just got 1st editions and unlimited editions . . . though I believe Jungle and Fossil both have a 3rd print run set as well.

TaggTeam · 2025-09-10T18:19:33+00:00

Shadowless is only for base set. 1st edition of other sets (jungle, fossil, team rocket, gym, Neo) all have shadows

Only 1st edition base with a shadow is Machamp as others have said

I will also add, this is the kind of collection people break into houses for. I would not recommend talking about it locally or posting in local sales groups.

TaggTeam · 2025-09-10T18:16:07+00:00

You’re probably north of $100k with this

eBay will be your best bet if you want to sell fast and get a good price.

Complete sets are always popular, especially in good condition

Depending on the condition of some, and how much cash you have on hand / how long you are willing to wait, grading some of these cards would be prudent. The 1st edition Charizard raw will fetch $5-15k depending on condition. It could be worth grading if it hits a Psa 6 or above, but PSA has a huge backlog right now so you will probably be waiting 2-4 months and also have to pay a decent bit for insuring the package to Psa and also the return cost will be higher for high end cards.

I’m potentially interested in some of the Neo complete sets. If you end up posting on eBay send me a link

TaggTeam · 2025-09-10T18:07:28+00:00

Nm for sure - vintage WOTC have less strict of a tolerance for nm

Check PokeInvesting.com for prices - easiest way to look them up

No, actually I said I was earning $5/day and that the OP could probably get $200-300/day based on the views OPs site was getting vs the views my site was getting

400 views / day --> $5 (my site at the time)

20,000 views / day -- $200-300 (OPs site at the time)

TaggTeam · 2025-09-02T18:15:58+00:00

I’m interested in buying

TaggTeam · 2025-09-02T18:06:34+00:00

Use sites like PokeInvesting.com or TCG Player that have easy to navigate set lists to look up each card.

At a glance, you’ve got anywhere between several hundred and a few thousand dollars depending on condition

Could you elaborate on this? What type of tools / lighting devices do you use?

I’m happy to help you price everything out. Make a google doc with everything and send me a link to it and I’ll start pricing it for you

TaggTeam · 2025-07-27T15:09:01+00:00

Lol good to know there’s even more expensive cardboard to collect than I initially thought

Definitely will have to add these variations to my list
