This is why I just started getting back into Pokémon cards. Yea the ones releasing now may not have much value, but they will 10-20 years from now. Especially the new base set with Scarlet Violet

[@PacificBroadwayTeam]

It's hard to say. People are saving and not even opening way more product now than they were back then. The vintage stuff will always have value simply because not as much of it has survived in decent condition, and it was not printed in nearly the same quantity as modern sets

For those that don't know, Pokémon cards are that expensive bcs. of the rarity, some features that make them unique are holographs, shadow,and what edition it is. Bcs. of that rarity, people sell these cards in a high price, and the buyers sell it higher. I once had a 1st edition Dark Magician, and it was sold for $7000. It's not much, but I didn't understand card values.

The road to regret is paved with mistakes and bad choices. - That sounded like a wise quote. lol Anyways, I've owned a few of the Crystal series cards before, as well as a few of the Shining Star cards. I don't have them anymore though. As it goes for anyone else in a similar situation, had I known how things would play out, I would have held onto them. Currently, I'm rebuilding some collection stuff. Obviously i have no shot at the real crown jewels of the card world, but I do have a few cards of decent value. I'm still in possession of a few cards from the Aquapolis and Skyridge sets. I have the Aquapolis Ninetales (holo rare) still and it is floating around for $100-250 dollars depending on source. Nothing amazing, but not cheap either. With the exception of the 1st Ed Base set Ninetales and any misc JP promo versions I"m not aware of, I have every other Ninetales printing available. Again, I'm sure there are a couple misc promo prints that I don't even know about, but still. (Yes I have the VS series ones) My only question now is do I bite the bullet and pick up some of the $$$ cards now, or hope things settle down again later....

Had a ton of the most expensive originals in a few binders along with my two brothers we took very good care of them but we took them everywhere. Had the binders in a shopping cart while shopping with our mother when someone snatched them. Whoever did, and if they were taken care of them has at least a couple million dollars worth of cards.

I thought Ninetales was going to be on the list tbh, or at least an honorable mention. Back when Gen 3 was just becoming a thing, I remember hearing talk of how, at the time, a First Edition Japanese Holographic Ninetales could net you a couple grand potentially. If it was that valuable back then, I couldn't imagine how much one would go for these days.

I like collecting Pokemon cards from fun not for the money

[@LainePearceRees]

I used to collect Pokemon cards back when they first came out. I came from a not 'well off' family, so buying a booster pack was a HUGE thing for me. I pulled a first edition Charizard, I was so excited that I couldn't stop shaking. I called all my friends, non of them believed me, so I decided to take it into school for 1 day. On that day (like many days) I was bullied, but the bullies had heard that I had that card and all my other shinies with me (including, Blastoise, Venusaur, Raichu, plus many more). So they took them all. I told a teacher but they didn't care. I forgot about it for years until about 5 years ago when I saw an article online of how one sold for £10,000. Now it seems to be a big thing about buying old boxes to find them. So very frustrating :(

Yo I Almost forgot my aunt has a huge collection of Pokémon cards from the early 2000’s we need to see if any of them have some value.
