I’ll never understand how yard sale sellers don’t do a quick search on eBay for some of their collectors items

[@gigiblack2231]

It’s sad to think if the sellers knew about the value of those cards, they wouldn’t even need a yard sale 😬

[@mlorocker]

@@gigiblack2231 yup… I mean, I don’t feel bad for the yard sellers, because they’re just too lazy to do a quick search online or they just don’t care to do it. But it’s also cringe when you as a buyer know the real price and try to scam the seller to get a better price. I don’t go to yard sales often but the times I found a good deal, I tipped the seller a $10 to say thank you at the very least.

[@Its_Asteria]

@@mlorocker wouldn't say cringe. Just sucky in all honesty. Though if we all had that opportunity we'd all probably take it by nature. Just saying

[@mlorocker]

@@Its_Asteria I’d definitely snag the deal, but I’ve tipped them a tenner in the past. And I don’t go to yard sales to flip anything so it’s a bit different. This guy knows he’s gonna double/triple his money, he can afford to not totally scalp them

The gold Pikachu tail means its from the Pikachu World Collection which was a set released at Pokemon Park 2000 which was held at Sydney University during the Sydney Olympic games. The gold tail cards are reprints of popular Pikachu cards. The birthday Pikachu graded a 10 is worth around $650 and not graded is worth around $150.

As someone who enjoys and loves collectible trading cards of Pokémon, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Sailor Moon, etc, I am TOTALLY ENVIOUS of your find of that entire box. Unopened new packs of cards are just my cup of tea. What a DEAL!!

[@copingflower1909]

Something I learned the hard way is whenever you are at any type of sale garage or yard etc always keep your composer and don't react to any of the stiff they got cause you never know when a seller bumos uo the price to take advantage of you potentially really wanting the item

[@cassielabelle9973]

Hey Phoenix! I'm TCGplayer's resident Magic: the Gathering finance columnist, and also an eBay reseller and fan of the channel =) When you're looking at Magic cards newer than mid-1998, the little expansion symbol on the card will denote rarity and give you a really good idea of whether or not the card is likely to have value. It's the little symbol to the lower right of the graphic image. Black and Silver are common and uncommon, while gold and orangey-gold are rare and mythic rare. This is basically what you need to know at garage sales, because if you flip through a stack and find some rares, the chances are good that the lot is unpicked and could have gems in it. If not, it is probably someone clearing the bulk out of their collection, which is only worth $5-$8 per THOUSAND cards. Obviously if you find pre-1998 collections, they're likely worth picking up regardless since more of the commons and uncommons have value. Magic is unlike Pokemon in that vast amounts of bulk/chaff cards have far less value, so you should be careful picking up lots like that. Happy to provide more tips if you want - I've learned a lot about game reselling from your channel!

Whys the tcg app suck? 75 percent of the time I scan a magic card.... even sometimes pokemon cards. And dont get me started on yu gi oh cards it tells me it's a different card than what it is. Theres so many resellers that find cards and use your app and it tells the wrong info.

Funny thing is those "No Land" boxes definitely had lands. But the full art lands you pulled out in the video are probably some of the more valuable cards in the lot. And the Pikachu collection is called Pikachu World Collection 2000. Runs for like $500 for an unopened boxed set.

[@atsuchiya624]

With magic cards there are different tiers running from common, uncommon, rare, to mythic rare. They are color coded black, blue, gold, and orange respectively on the little symbol under the bottom right of the picture on the card. You can focus on the rare and mythics out of a big lot and look them up without having to sort through and research every card.

[@coltonomega7700]

I’m sure it’s already been stated elsewhere in the comments but just in case the symbols on the Magic cards near the center right is the card set, the symbol of the set varies in color based on rarity (Red: Mythic Rare, Gold: Rare, Silver:Uncommon, Black/white: Common.) and the newer cards from 2015-current day all have a foil stamp centered at the bottom if they are Rare or Mythic. When looking at MTG cards in bulk mainly look for nothing below Rare unless they are holo or full art. It will save you time and hassle because it looks like you got dumped with a lot of common stuff. Probably could recoup a little money from the deck boxes alone though!

[@calebsmith3370]

Incorrect - the Unlimited set also had the original logo, the first ed print was much harder to find due to YGO not blowing up until after the anime took off. The Starter decks were released right before the anime aired overseas

[@les-os]

@@TheSingleFlash I looked online and yeah it seems like the old version of the unlimited print could have the logo, but the newer modern reprint has the other logo, so the box itself was old and probably said ‘upper deck’ on the back even if it was unlim (there was an upper deck Konami lawsuit in 2008)

[@TheSingleFlash]

@@les-os they didn't reprint the original starter decks, so any of the starter decks from that time all had the old konami logo. The reprints you're talking about, are you referring to the LOB reprints?
