How to Find if Your Pokémon Cards Are RARE or EXPENSIVE!

[@PokeMan811]

I’m a child of the 80s and 90s but Pokemon only hit my radar when my son got into them. Now we collect them together and it’s a fun father-son activity. We watched your videos on understanding the rarity of cards and found it super helpful!

[@Witkomon]

Wow, thank you so much for the kind comment! I really appreciate that, and it really means a lot that I could help you and your son out! Collecting together with your son sounds so awesome, you must be such a cool Dad! I’m jealous!! No doubt, your son absolutely loves it, he’ll definitely make some cherished memories of it!

[@lindseymccoy1633]

@BeauxsGuineas bro that is so rare get it graded

[@frogmanforever4622]

Wholesome comment; I hope my son takes interest in Pokemon with me when he’s of age, too.

[@beastliongm]

You’re lucky to be doing that. I’m still young and my dad unfortunately doesn’t col elect with me

[@PokeMan811]

@@beastliongm Well, I guess not everybody is into the same hobbies. Maybe he’d be willing to help you research a good binder or cases to protect your investment. Or maybe he’d be willing to take you to a card shop or card show. He might catch interest in the hobby after all. Also, I like buying my son cards from TCGplayer. He might enjoy shopping for a cool card or two for you. You never know.

[@SixOhFive]

I have all my cards from 1999, all in protection sleeves and I have two holo charizards too.

New begginer in collecting here! I'm glad that there are people who want to help out newbies such as myself, everything can sometimes be so confusing and there is so much details that one can miss out on! Thanks for making these videos, they really do help! I realised I have a lot of rare's and that's quite rad!

Bro what about white circle

[@JCizzle23]

This was the best explanation in great detail I’ve found on YT. I’m a 90s kid who grew up loving Pokémon but hadn’t been collecting for many years. My daughter recently got into it and I’ve joined in and have been having a blast collecting with her. Thanks for the vid and appreciate the help! 😃🙏

[@Witkomon]

No problem! I’m really glad you found the video helpful, your comment means a lot! That sounds so awesome that you’re collecting with your daughter! You’re having a blast, but she’s no doubt having a blast as well! I’m jealous! It would have been so cool if one of my parents were into Pokemon with me! (if only to buy me packs haha!)

[@NoahFleetwood]

Extremely informative thank you so much. I’ve just gotten back into collecting and it’s nice to really know what I have now to really appreciate them! Turns out I had a good stack of cool ones and didn’t even really think about it at the time of pulling. Now going forward every card I open is getting sleeved and organized, and I’ll actually know what I’m looking at!

[@Witkomon]

Thank you so much for the kind comment! It really means a lot, I'm glad I could help, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! That's a good idea though, definitely sleeve every card you pull! Those scratches and dents can drop a cards value significantly unfortunately, so don't have to worry at all when it's protected! Let me know if you need any help with your card though--identifying any and whatnot!

[@IneptCardCollector]

Super helpful! Between Shadowless and Unlimited and Base Set, I'm studying to figure out what I'm looking at most of the time. So many dishonest sellers trying to take advance of noobs like me.

[@Witkomon]

I'm glad I could help! Hopefully you'll know what to look out for now :D

[@bottlecapdave2021]

The explanation of the symbols and 'rarities' were very helpful, thank you. I opened my first pack of tcg cards for the first time since the early 2000s. Managed a gold super rod with extremely poor centering 😂. Obviously when I was younger it was never about the monetary value. I will think about what I am doing whether it be collecting a specific mon or type and therefore buy singles OR just keep buying booster packs. We shall see.

[@Witkomon]

I’m really glad you found the video helpful! Personally, I prefer a combination of both opening packs, and buying singles. Obviously, it’s a A LOT of fun to open packs, isn’t it, but it can get quite expensive… and, you aren’t guaranteed anything at all. But when you do pull something, what a rush! It becomes so meaningful. And, on the singles side, you can buy some really nice cards for $2-$5 dollars. So, I open packs for the fun, but don’t go overboard, and spend the rest on a few nice singles!

[@JoseGonzalezchi]

My 6 year old just got into Pokemon, these videos give me something to teach him in our morning drive.

[@allthingssilver7635]

My daughter recently got into pokemon cards and I don't know anything about them. It's been fun diving into the world of pokemon cards with her. We have ripped over 100 packs this month. Problem I was having was knowing which cards should go in penny sleeves and which ones we should put into top loaders. This video helps a lot. Was looking for a video like this that explains what the symbols mean. Thank you.

[@Witkomon]

No problem at all! I’m really glad I could help :) That sounds so awesome opening packs with your daughter! I was always by far the most into Pokemon in my family, but I just know if I had someone else to collect with it would have been so much more special. No doubt she’ll cherish those memories quite a lot when she grows up! FYI, if you’re putting cards in top loaders, also make sure to put them in penny sleeves as well!! The cards move around a bit, and without one they will scratch up. I’d recommend maybe getting a binder, that’s how I store all my cards. Keeps them safe, and really nice to look at. You could buy generic ones for about $15-$20 on Amazon, or Pokemon even makes nice officially licences ones, I think around $30-$40 Good luck collecting!!

[@OnLyFuN1306]

Thats the trick! You can sell your card at any price you want but if you want to sell it in a decent amount of time you have to be in the price range of what people are selling it for. I always go down a little over the rest so I can sell and gain a good reputation then I can sell a little higher price in the future

[@Witkomon]

You’re exactly right! Especially if you’re just starting out on something like eBay, nobody will pay more, or even the same, for your card, when they could buy from a trusted and reputable seller instead. It’s a risk, after all. So, you have to make that risk worthwhile by making your price slightly cheaper, usually 10-15%. And eventually you can slowly bring your prices up, even sell for a premium!

[@jenniferbutler8495]

What is yours has a white and black shield?

[@Witkomon]

A white and black shield? Hmm, you might be looking at the expansion symbol

[@hyperstarkage3618]

Yea I’m just going to just collect cards for now and put them in a binder then years down the road I will look for the rare symbols

[@Witkomon]

Honestly, sounds good! If you start getting A LOT of cards, might be expensive to store them all in binders, so at that point could be a good idea to be selective! But, if you only have a few, by all means, throw all the ones you like in there! Can’t hurt to protect them!

Big bro i have a question to know how to sell the pokemon card that we have would you can please make a separate video on that

[@Witkomon]

Honestly, it differs quite a bit depending on where you live… but, you have a couple options. You can take your cards to a local card shop, they often buy cards, though they will usually give 30-50% less than market value. This is probably the easiest though. You can also sell your cards in person on some kind of marketplace platform, such as Facebook marketplace, Kijiji etc. This is also quite easy, and allows you to meet people in person. Finally you can sell online! Platforms like eBay and TCGplayer are great, but you have to deal with fees and shipping

[@gitterz]

hey i’ve had this opinion for a while, you don’t have listen to me because you can make your own decisions and it’s your channel. The main thing that drew me to your content was the way you presented information as well as your tone and over the past couple months those two things have changed and your views have decreased, i’d assume those two reasons are why. This is just a recommendation and to make you aware. Thanks if you read this and another thank you for all the helpful content👍

[@Witkomon]

Hey circle! I really appreciate the comment actually. The change in tone was definitely an intentional choice, I've been trying to make the videos a little more lively and energetic. I'm assuming when you refer to the way I present information, that has to do with editing style, which of course, in this video especially, is extra colourful and exciting(is that the word?). But is it a good change? Who knows. Looking at all the big Poketubers, theyre far more crazy then me haha. Poketev, UnlistedLeaf, Deep Pocket Monster, they all kind of have this energetic facade. I'm assuming that's because the majority of their audience is younger kids, and I'm assuming mine is as well. But with KZbin, who really knows. I'm a small channel, so I'm just throwing anything at the wall, and seeing what sticks! Maybe if the new style isn't working, I'll try a video with the older style, see how that works. I just love making videos, so I'm happy to do anything! I really do appreciate the comment though, that's definitely something I will think about. Actually, my dad said the same thing yesterday. I'm curious though, what do you think was the last "good" video in your eyes? The last with the old style mostly? And which videos are your favorite? So that I can have a bit of a reference! And, if you have any other constructive criticism, I'd definitely like to hear it! Honestly, it means the most to me that you care enough to even leave a comment. And if you read all of this, that extra means a lot! Haha!

[@gitterz]

@@Witkomon Of course man, I only want the best for you. I really appreciate you replying and thanks to your "How to Tell if Your Pokémon Cards Are Rare or Expensive!" video, I was able to make quite a bit of money, so I figured the least I could do is be sincere and offer a recommendation. To answer your question, "How to Draw Your Own Pokémon Cards!" from approximately a year ago was the last video you did that really made an impression on me. I still find the time to view all of your videos, though. I've seen that your instructional and informative videos often get high views, therefore I'd want to see more of those. You're good at imparting knowledge; you could do a video showing how to draw or make a certainthing, but you've done a number of those already, and I don't want people to think you're repetitive. I was really intrigued to follow your channel because you were distinct from the other pokemon channels, which are all very similar and have been losing viewers and money. I just want you to have the success you were hoping for so I thought I'd let you know. But in the end, it's your channel, so I'll keep supporting whatever content you post even if it's not what I was hoping for. Thank you once more for the response and all the great videos. Take care! (Sorry for the late response I was at school)

[@Witkomon]

Not a problem, thanks a lot for the comment, I really appreciate it! I think you’re right though, I’ve got to be different. I just got off school actually, so I’m working full-time on KZbin this summer, we’ll see how it goes! I want to make as much, and try as much as I can before the school year starts again! I’ll definitely take your advice into consideration though, and again, I really appreciate it!

What about if you have the whole set of a Pokémon. Like basic, stage 1, and 2.

[@Witkomon]

Well, it might be worth slightly more as a set, but in terms of value, it’s more of a novelty thing then anything else! For the actual Pokémon game though, that’s how you evolve your card, so it’s necessary!

What does three pine trees/triangles with a rectangle on the bottom mean? is my card fake or is it just not in the video? edit: I got it from an unopened card pack whatever it is called, it is from 2018 so is it just because that the symbol does not exist anymore?

[@Witkomon]

I'm not sure I know what you're talking about... that's definitely not a rarity symbol. A new system was introduced this year with the double stars and what not (the super rare cards in this video), but before that it was only the circle, diamond, and star. I think, you might be looking at the expansion symbol. It's a little artwork that denotes the set the card is from!

[@JetTheProPlayz]

@@Witkomon Ok, I guess my card might somehow not have a rarity symbol

[@Witkomon]

It should still have a rarity symbol though. The only exception to this rule I've seen are McDonalds cards, but ever other card should have something. Weather it be a circle, diamond, star, or holo silver star

ive got this zacian and it shows a rainbow circle with a white A inside what does that mean? I also have a Holo Alolan Meowth and I cant find the smybol anywhere ive got two alolan rattata's that both have a white circle. A golbat also woith a white circle and a reverse holo thievul with a white star? What do they all mean?

[@Witkomon]

So, the white circle is a common. It’s the same as a black circle, a circle, will always mean common. It’s white, only because a black circle would be impossible to see on a dark card! As for the rainbow A, that’s an “Amazing Rare”. I talk about it in the video actually, it’s in the additional rarities segment. Amazing rare cards are pretty niche, they were introduced in the sword and shield era, and featured in only 2 sets. They were not hugely popular, so they were discontinued pretty quick. Most are not worth a whole lot unfortunately, only a few bucks each. But, they are equivalent to an illustration rare, single gold star card, so still pretty rare, and nice!

[@Dexterthekid938]

[@retromario6130]

Question: So “rare” cards usually cost more than common cards, but do common cards from the 90’s or early 2000’s have value? Would a common Wizards of the Coast card be worth more simply because it’s old?

[@Witkomon]

Hmm, well, it depends entirely on the card. Even from the 1990s, commons still won’t be worth more than maybe $10-$20 (at ABSOLUTE most). Most will still be around the $1-$5 range. At the end of the day, they’re still commons, so there’s a lot of them out there, and they’re easy to pul! But definitely they are worth more than new commons, if only to have something from a past time to appreciate?

[@retromario6130]

Thanks for the reply. I’m for sure going to start hunting for them now because I appreciate their historical significance

[@Witkomon]

For sure! I have a binder where I’ve dedicated 2 full pages to each era of Pokemon cards. So, the first page is Topps, the next two is original series, then neo, e-series, diamond/pearl, platinum, HGSS, Black and Ahite, XY, and etc.! I may have missed some here, but you get the idea! It’s so cool flipping through it, watching the cards evolve as time goes on!

[@Dawnspade]

So just a few questions about rarity and collection number stuff, #1 does a white circle mean basically the same thing as a white star just in a lower rarity? #2 some of my cards only display one number with some letters (for example I have a Volcanion that just has XY164) where the collection number is. #3 what do letters in the collection number mean, like RC18/RC32 or is that just lettering for it’s extra appearance as a reverse holo, chrome background card? Thanks!

I live in Canada, I once pulled a Machamp from a normal pack (I think) but the machamp was (I found out later) the original style pokemon card, and I opened it in like 2009. However, this Machamp was itself in a plastic wrapper, and the card is entirely in French, even tho I was opening an English pack. It was a long time ago, what was going on?

[@Witkomon]

I live in Canada too! So, I’m thinking you must have bought some kind of third part mystery box-type product? That sealed Machamp card you pulled (if it is indeed the original one from 1999), came in every single starter set back then. It would have been impossible then, and definately now, to pull it in a standard official pack. Sometimes, there could be errors with wrong languages, but there has never been a sealed card in a pack. So, it must have been a third party product, which would make sense!

[@sinnlos-erfolg5869]

Great vid man it really helped me understand all the rarities👍 Wow ok ehm omg .... i just startet my pokemon card collection 3 days ago i think and yesterday i pulled as called in the video a Special Illustration Rare Chi-Yu card and i have too say i think this is my new favorite card it looks so good What a nice new addiction 😂❤

[@Imreoki]

Hey I have a dedenne it’s all holo, but instead of a black star it has a white holographic star? What dose that mean!!?

[@Witkomon]

Ah! So that's actually the older rarity symbol, that Dedene is a GX, or V card correct? In any case, the shiny silver star was used to refer to all special, super rare cards! It could mean a double rare, ultra rare, or hyper rare, depending on the card

[@HenkZ-po4fw]

I'm looking into starting collecting pokemon cards together with my son of 9. Thank you for this explanation! We haven't started buying anything yet, because I first want to know what we're getting into. But this helps.

[@SentexBR]

Buy basic tins, packs to start off! I'm 11 and I got 4 tins full and a small tin full of GXS, EXS.

[@zhirmstafa9638]

I have a Gold V evolution Charizard with gold background, there is no star or anything like that just a big green gem, it says Zerystal dragon idk that that means. Can someone help me out?

[@JustWalkAwayEu]

have a old pidgeot 24/64 silver/gold color i cant find it anywhere i look any idéas?

[@Ray-oe2fd]

my question for you is i have 2 cards with picachu symbol on side where pokemon goes. any idea

[@Witkomon]

Ah! I’ve got a section in that at 8:41 Extra Rarity Symbols. In short, it means the card came from a pre-constructed “theme deck”. AKA, from a product that you could buy, not a pack.

[@DEXTERROR]

Is it possible to sell cards? And where?

[@theslapbattler4133]

First! I love these videos. Now I can tell if my cards might be expensive.

[@Witkomon]

Thank you so much! Wow, thank you got being early too!

[@ajitraibharti]

I am a new collector and how do i not have a single common or uncommon ? I only have rares like 1 silver star or 2 black star

[@ivanvalentin907]

I have 11 of Charmander Promo cards (SVP 044) from Obsidian flames boxes. Are they Version 1 or 2?? Im new in collecting and I want to know value. Thanks for Help😊😊

[@sylas3184]

please answer me i bought 1 $ pack and i got charizard 2022 4/102 normal not holo is it worth anything or no ? 🙏

[@Witkomon]

YES! For sure, that’s a 25th anniversary Celebrations Charizard, a reprint of the base set! One of the biggest chase cards from the set, I believe it’s around $100! That’s some insane luck from a $1 pack!

[@AVeryHappyPineapple]

I have sr at the bottom of my blastoise and piplup team which I didn’t see in the video maybe I missed it

[@MatthewPanzer]

Phenomenal video and explanation!! Thank you for this!

[@Light_Yellow23]

I have a roserade that is rainbow and the star is also rainbow what does it mean?

[@Witkomon]

Ah! So that's a "rainbow rare" card! That type of card was present in both the Sun and Moon series, as well as sword and shield, but was discontinued now in Scarlet and Violet. Those were very rare cards though, infact, they were some of the rarest that you could pull! Roughly equivalent to a triple gold star, hyper rare, so the rarest!

[@Light_Yellow23]

Wow ok thanks!

[@maryiakanwal8700]

I found a charizard vmax and its silver but it doesnt have any number in the bottom left so idk how to identify it with the website can anyone help me pls

[@JennYuan]

theres also another rarity well not really but if you see a ditto on the bottom then that means its a peal ditto card so you have a sticker as a pokemon card reverse holo and you put it on the ditto and when you pell off a little you see ditto

[@tripokemon9240]

I have like 3 cards with no symbol one them is hosuien voltorb is that rare?

[@Witkomon]

Hmm, are you sure it has no symbol? I haven’t seen any Hisuan Voltorbs without a symbol before… maybe check again! And if still no, then I’m not sure. Could be a card I’ve simply not seen, maybe some kind of promo, or could be something else

[@MelissaJetzt]

Thank you for this! I haven't collected cards since I was a kid, pretty, but my brother-in-law starting gifting me packs and I enjoyed getting some from the McDonald's events so I figured I should start organizing them. Good info and to the point! As an aside, thanks for mentioning the "sold listings" part. I've been selling on eBay and other sites for over 10 years and it's mind boggling to me that people don't realize that people can set whatever price they want (but it only matters what it will actually sell for). I'm sure that tip will be helpful.

[@Witkomon]

No problem at all! I'm glad I could help you organize your cards!! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate your kind comment, it really means a lot! That's some brother-in-law of yours, I'm jealous! Could he be my brother-in-law?! Lol! I'm kidding, but that's awesome! The McDonalds cards are a lot of fun too!

[@johnmartin8031]

i pulled that koraidon ex should i keep it? 10:44

[@Nbr1PHaN]

Besides rarity, how does the actual character affect the value of the card?

[@momotheninja578]

You missed the triple black star Shining pokemon from Neo sets and First edition marking for older cards! Realistically, no one is likely to randomly come across the Shining cards, but I hope no one is missing out on them either! Thanks for explaining the new systems to me, I recently bought some cards for nostalgia and had no idea what I was looking for in these new sets!

[@KrispyPoke]

Thank you so much for explaining this. i use to collect as a kid im 29 now and want to start again with my son. This was very useful.

[@katanyurassmussen7872]

What is The different with standard set foil and parrallel set?

[@BigDaddyAlien]

I have these Charizard Gold Metal cards. 2 of them. Know anything about these?

[@Gameslayyer]

Well i have a doubt do secret rare cards have to be hyper rare cards or ultra or holo cards can also fit

[@reddreed1]

What you have a better chance of finding rare cards in single packs or box sets

[@franzpacis5552]

Learn a lot, very educational, though pokemon cards seems getting more upgrading, their art and rarities, and introducing new names and characters. thank you.

[@MysteryGamer.x]

I have a card of Forretress with 3 white starts is my card rare?? Does it worth anything?? It also has a number 230/193 please tell

[@Witkomon]

Definitely! And that’s what this video is about! Three white stars would be a “hyper rare”, your full art textured cards.

[@Grandpas_cards-cq2sd]

One of the best Pokemon videos on KZbin.

[@Witkomon]

Awww, thank you so much! That really means a lot :)

[@mandyfarrugia2648]

Thanks a lot i m just starting my collection and i m sure this will be very helpfull thanks again 😊

[@Witkomon]

No problem! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and I'm happy that I could help !
