Pokemon Cards for Beginners Crash Course 101 Are Old Pokemon Cards Worth Money? Which ones? Why?

This is the Pokemon Cards for beginners crash course. We will be going over pokemon card basics that will help answer the very basic questions and insight about flipping pokemon cards such as:
Are my pokemon cards worth anything?
Where to sell pokemon cards?
Why are pokemon cards so expensive?
How to identify pokemon card sets?
How to sell pokemon cards?
How to find the value of your pokemon cards?
We are primarily talking about SUPER BASICS of the vintage cards for those who know nothing about the cards. The market is fluid and things change, these are my observations and what I have learned over the last few weeks. But if you have an old binder or box YES! You can be selling pokemon cards for money.

When Pokemon first came out in January 1999, stores were very hesitant to carry the cards since trading cards weren't very popular at the time, thus making the first edition printing so limited and rare. Yes Magic the Gathering was out at the time but nowhere near as popular as Pokemon. Check out Danny Phantump. He has a business buying and selling old and new Pokemon cards. He did a video breaking down what happened in 1999.
