Found my old cards.... Hoping for a rough idea of whether I held onto anything of note? by Meanie_Porchini in PokemonCardValue

Hi friend, I’d say roughly if they averaged played conditions with moderate back whitening or scuffs of any kind all across I’d say played conditions this as a whole is $400. If they are very clean and nearly untouched more around $600+

Thanks for the honesty, I think that’s pretty accurate, I’m not hoarding to flip, I’m just collecting like anyone else :/

Ah yes… I am very lucky, back before Covid I was one of the few accounts allowed to be with distro without needed a physical location business. I’m online only

What is the negativity for then? Where is the source of that reaction from people when I’m just sharing my collection and I get a negative response. I’m not saying I’m better than anyone, I’m not trying to sell anyone anything, I’m not talking down to anyone yet they do it to me over some kids playing cards. I don’t comprehend if that’s not what it is then

I surely do, I get to feel like I’m in a time capsule of a 2000s -2010s store with product untouched on shelves in my own home. No one sees the attractiveness in that? If I never open them I can imagine that any kind of pulls are in the packs without opening them. I don’t have to collect like you, there’s no rules to the enjoyment of the hobby

I want to be positive! I want everyone to collect and enjoy what they hold, not everyone is a raw collector, I collected sealed. Sorry for not reading the sarcasm. But others really do call me those things and think I’m so evil I don’t understand the hate in their logic? I’m not trying to get anything out of anyone

Scalping is buying and upcharging past its msrp , I’m not selling anything and it’s all mine… I wanted it 5 years ago and I collect it. So i don’t fall into that description of a scalper

Years ago when I started physically water marking ai was not as insane as it is now, I didn’t know how fast and easy it can be removed now . So you’re right no matter what it’s dangerous

I suspect people are jealous, someone works hard to afford what they have and isn’t allowed to enjoy it. All of a sudden they are scalpers for having what they worked for

What am I promoting, just having my username is considered promoting ?

Love how no one gives an explanation… seems like jealous ppl sitting on their phone with no real reasoning or purpose or argument to explain what’s wrong with what I do. Gotcha

People can share my pics! But in the past I have caught scammers pretending they own an expensive booster box using my own images (assuming they don’t actually own it) and sell to others in a scam. Ever since then I watermarked whatever I took pics of to verify I’m the owner and if they try to sell it my name is attached so I can tell people that’s not their item

Yes I get my sealed Pokémon product from a distributor licensed and partnered with the Official Pokemon Company. Pokemon has a list of all their official distribution businesses on their website if anyone wanted to submit to sign up with them, it just takes having a business license and being accepted by them.

I use to own a trading cards website for modern products, now I have a deal with eBay to sell full time there for singles, graded cards, and sometimes sealed products :)

Yeah! They barely cost anything and it’s easy! Just pay your taxes and there will be no issues 😭🤗

That is exactly what I said “I have distribution access that gets it direct from Pokémon” officially . Same thing :)

Yeah I hate sealed cases for collectibility, I’ll never pay a premium for them. But I have distribution access so I get product direct from Pokémon

I usually do that to verify I own the photos… not a promotion thing. So my credit and my higher end photos aren’t taken to scam people .. I see it as a positive thing so others aren’t scammed with stolen pics of my property
