I BOUGHT A BINDER OF VINTAGE POKEMON CARDS AT A GARAGE SALE

I messaged someone on marketplace who advised she had two binders of Pokémon cards that she would be willing to sell. She told me they were her little sisters collection and she did not want them anymore. I bought each binder for $50 without knowing what was inside. There was a lot of fake cards inside the binder but I found TONS of real vintage. Not only did I make my money back from the cards, I found vintage holographic Charizards! Thanks for watching.

IKR! I'm wondering what happened to the sister and whether she even knows it's being sold...😟I hope she's okay, because a woman who has a card collection like that must be pretty cool

Non holo Charizard from evolutions? There isn't a non holo Carizard in evolutions. With the base set artwork, theres only holo and a reverse holo. The only base set artwork non holo charizard is from legendary collection but those charizards dont have a legendary collection set symbol. If its a non holo charizard from evolutions, then those charizards are definitely fake

As a collector I would sell some of the ones I didn't want get a little profit off of them and keep the rest of the ones I want in my binder pretty much none of those are going to be 7s or 8s let alone 9s or 10s they still have some decent value raw and are most likely going to be binder cards with some play on the back

I was starting to get worried after that first binder was such a bust. I use to babysit alot of younger boys and somehow got talked into being a gym leader (basically 4 hr sessions at Toys R US that happened every Saturday morning where kids would come to trade and battle cards). After afew years I ended up collecting the first 3 sets (Base, Jungle and Fossil), plus I also got the 1st edition sets for Fossil and Jungle, as well as an incomplete Holo set of Jungle Error cards that went put without the Jungle Stamp, tons of promo cards, 1st edition Team Rocket, etc. 20+ years later I'm been wondering what they are worth now that Pokémon has gotten big again and how I'd go about selling them. As a set, 1 at a time. Do you have any suggestions? I'd like to first figure out what I have, their condition and their worth, and at some point possibly sell them. I just don't know how to find their worth and a place to sell them outside of Ebay. Thanks for the help

[@eugeoyes513]

Sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of ya 😂

[@Ace_Pheonix_31]

Have you sold any yet? I'm a collector myself. The best way to sell is online. If cards are really expensive, make sure they sign to let the package be delivered. That way, you avoid scammers/thieves.

[@josephalmy5869]

So many people assume the Evolutions are the same as base set or Jungle/Fossil but they were reprints. This happens alot at garage sales or Facebook marketplace

My mum did this when I left home at 17 to work on the mines! Whilst I was away she had a garage sale and sold all my original base set Pokémon cards including a folder of just holos!

My cousin worked at a landfill for several years and eventually he worked the excavators and dozers, and when that happened he really had some great stories including finding 2 dead bodies in 4 years! He had to get approved in all these environmental training classes and they were ordered to clear a section and excavate after removing a section over 100 square yards to remove hazardous waste that is no longer legal to store in the manner it was, but before they reached that level they had to clear the top and he was prohibited from ever touching or removing anything from this section specifically but he took his chances a few times including a big ridk when he opened a large container used to dispose of fire damaged waste which included water damaged but there was a Kmart that caught fire and as it turned out there was boxes and boxes of booster packs of pokemon cards and they were pouring out of the container as well as sports, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, magic etc. This must have been the storage area and they just shoveled their damaged inventory but this specific stuff had no fire damage just water damage and he and 2 other dudes stuffed their "field bags" which is supposed to keep food and water and radio etc and he managed to get a ton of booster packs which had so many goodies in great condition, some bent but no water damage inside even had that lovely smell! I remember they were the original ones but not 1st edition, but like the original 100 or whatever. His coworker grabbed magic cards which my cousin wasn't familiar with snd apparently he got so many genuinely valuable ones. Unfortunately the haul was crushed and buried for another unknown eternity that day, so everything they could grab was all they could get.

[@NIRVANAmat]

I don’t know if it’s where you from or the info you have.. but here in the UK these cards sell for a lot more on EBay. We’re talking x2 the amount you mentioned for the Charizards. Even the non holo’s.. they really go for a lot of money. Even base set cards that are common, they have the vintage ring to them. They’ll go for close to two dollars each.. maybe the market over here has more demand or something. Or you were just underestimating what you have.. nice find 👍

It was the right thing to do but I still miss them as I can't find them now and if I do the prices are really high. Also it's more likely that she has lost interest as we are older now and also she moved a couple months after that so I have no idea what she's doing now.
