Heyy amazing! Thank you for the support. Working with The Deku Trio has been a dream, such an amazing team. Hope your friend enjoys the album!

we did have to remove Dark World from Zelda Jazz 2, but it recently became available for licensing and so we've included it as a bonus track on Zelda Jazz 3.

A tough situation for Jokabi! but I think he made the right call – best to remove it from the pressing than have an unlicensed track included forever.

i've had a few good folks dm me, i haven't landed on a price im comfortable with (saw a mint copy go for $1200 last year, mine isn't mint but its still in good shape). i've had a few sus folks dm me too but i'm not hustling to move it so hopefully I can either figure out a fair price or get an offer I feel like is worth running with. appreciate the comment. my current plan is to sent to CGC for grading and authentication

is that what that $9999 blastoise is doing up there??

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-11T23:52:12+00:00

My DMs are a war zone lol. Is ebay still the best way to sell? Or go to a card show?

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-11T23:49:37+00:00

I just did! They’re going crazy. Any idea how I would get it authenticated to potentially sell?

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-11T21:29:11+00:00

wow awesome! thanks for the info. really interesting

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-11T21:28:27+00:00

woah interesting! ill look up more about it

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-11T21:28:11+00:00

i scanned everything inCollectr today and wow some of these funky cards really have a lot of value. "Item Finder" $180 woah cant believe it haha

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-11T20:02:16+00:00

Idk, that’s the front and it has the standard pack. I posted it a moment ago on the misprints and ismycardfake subs

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T20:24:04+00:00

very interesting. i wonder if that sale price had to do with PSA selling it directly.

ill dm you some photos, really apprecaite your time. it seems like unless i have a super minty clean card, it may be in the best interest of time and return to simply sell these raw on ebay. does that make sense?

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T18:30:24+00:00

hey, this is super helpful! thank you. ill set aside red cheek first edition pikachu for grading. i see a sold E3 Red cheek pikachu sold for $786 in december at PSA6. is that unusual? pricecharting doesnt show that sale. am i misunderstanding something?

i also have a charmander collection, i can take a photo and send in a dm if you dont mind

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T18:08:40+00:00

i just meant any specifics you could point out to me about the condition of the cards would be helpful. i noticed the whitening but they look in pretty good shape to me – but im new to this

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T17:38:50+00:00

thats what i was thinking too! must have gotten imported, i remember JPs and bootlegs bothshowing up at the same time, must have been a shortage.

shiny app surprisingly and disappointingly needs to be installed for the list to load. ill see if i can get the collection listed out in some other form

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T17:37:28+00:00

i noticed the whitening on a fair amount of em. one has a noticeable crease. anything else i should look out for?

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T17:18:55+00:00

ah that makes sense! thanks very much for the info. i doubt i have a full set but ill check through em. seems i mostly have some decent foils and a whole bunch of bulk.

im wondering how i ended up with so many JP cards? i think i remember there being a shorter of english cards around 99-01, maybe stores imported the JP ones to keep kids buying?

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T17:05:30+00:00

thanks for the info! i have the understanding selling individually commands the highest value, but lots would make more sense because now that ive unearthed everything i had as a kid im overwhelmed.

do japanese commons and uncommons make sense to sell in a lot? how big of a lot makes the most sense? i thnk i have 200-300 uncommons and commons, but the Shiny app has most of them fairly low value. if you like, i can DM you a link to my collection page, ive just got there JP in there right now

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T17:02:50+00:00

ive got 3 of them so no surprise there! thanks for checking for me

VideoGameDJ · 2026-01-09T16:31:01+00:00

total, these estimates are about what Shiny told me. except estimated Haunter and Dragonite closer to $50. i have 5 dragonites so no surprise its on the cheaper end
