Not one of the top listed, but mentioned in it. I currently own a Japanese Gold Star Shiny Latias card I purchased... I believe around 10 years ago. I collect Latias Latios cards, and unfortunately I'm missing the Latios version of it. I just recently purchased the Latias/Latios Tag Team Card with alternative art ( where they form a heart ) as well. Shown briefly in the beginning. I need to see where I stashed my original cards from back when the game came out and see if anything of value can be gotten out of them. Probably nothing as I didn't have a job then, so I only had several packs from it.

[@kristashafer93098]

A guy posted on Reddit that he has a rare Charizard. He volunteered at a kids day camp and he mentioned the card to the kids. They asked to just see it so he brought it in. One of the kid’s mother contacted him and tried to buy it for $200 (she found a much less rare printing of the same character) and got mad when he said no and that it was actually worth like 4 or 5 grand. She tried to threaten him with getting him fired and saying it was weird that a man would want to be around kids when her empty threats failed.

My rarest card is a black star promo Eevee. It's only worth ~$10 USD. Holds a spot in my heart though, since it was a promo card I got from a friend a long, long, LONG time ago at a Toys R' Us tournament that her mother helped run. I also have a first edition Japanese Misty's Tears, though that's probably worthless too. I regret selling my 1st Edition Charizards from the very first set. I had like five of them as a kid. Wish I could go back in time and steal them from myself the moment I opened those boosters. I had that Kangaskhan card too; bought it from some shop stall in a defunct mall decades ago. I just thought it was cool looking, and it only cost like $5 to buy it. That guy selling the cards had all sorts of Japanese cards in those plastic card holders, including the silly cards like Imakuni?'s Doduo. If only I had the foresight as a kid back then to keep all these cards for just a little bit longer... If only misprinted Yugioh cards were this valuable. I have a Red-Eyes Black Dragon card with the foil bits offset by a few millimeters to the top left, and one of those guardian sphinx cards from the first movie where the top of the card itself was crushed by the sealing process when they made the packs that held the cards. Oh well.

[@isabelyork3265]

That gold star means the Pokemon is shiny. It's similar in the games, with a pink star being shown on the stats screen for any shiny.

I have all the cards from the base, jungle, and fossil series, i should go through my binders and see what 1st editions i have. I know there is at least 1, 1st edition base set charizard in there. But it has the drop shadow. So i doubt its worth the misprint. I also have a mint condition Mew gold ☆ card. Love the blue so much, i got it tattooed on my leg. I have the black charizard with a gold ☆ too. Never thought it was worth that much..

[@mahmudulhasan-ds6ql]

There’s one

[@kish45]

I used to have a Japanese Neo Genesis Lugia when I was younger but traded it for a base set 2 Blastoise. Pretty sure the Lugia wasn’t 1st ed.

[@MitchZro]

Japanese vintage cards didn’t do a 1st edition stamp. Depending on condition, those two cards (Japanese Neo Lugia and English Base 2 Blastoise) can be of similar value today.

[@jeuryrabassa4724]

The Pokemon Trading Card Game has always been one of my favorite things coming out from the franchise. Such a amazing artwork and design. There's so much fun to collect. And I already got tons of Pokemon cards in my collection. Especially Pokemon V & EX Cards, Those are my favorite ones to collect.

I don't remember who..but one of my friends had the regular charzard..being only 10years old I remember we didn't take care of any cards and most likely lost it

[@Alice_Haukea]

This stuff was my childhood. I got a ton of the early set cards when I was a little kid and these cards weren't worth anything yet. But the problem is that I was too young to have the foresight for this. I still have a binder with the original 151 in it, but with 2 exceptions, none of them are 1st ed printings. And many are Base Set 2 or either Fossil or Jungle set. So like, old stuff still, but not the 'Money' stuff. I'm just hoping that everything cycles with age. I have a more recent binder full of cards I simply like. I own every printing of Ninetales. (TCG versions that is) Im hoping that at some point these printings become old enough that they gain value.

[@enthused7591]

Most people didn't have the 1st edition stuff, but any holos older than 2004 can be worth $2,000-$5,000 in flawless condition. The main issue really is that we as kids didn't take great care of them so they have scuffs, creases and edge wear. which can drop it from a 10 grade to a 4 grade really quickly, and then the value drops from $2000 to $150 lol.

[@Chinorific]

Not a bad video wish there was more info on why they are so expensive like the chansey is due to how hard it is to grade in a 10 making it expensive even for shadowless as well! Nice to see more Pokémon content though!!
