Title: How do you price pre-owned Pokemon cards?
Post by: Pheasant on April 30, 2018, 10:02:24 AM

My brothers and I are thinning our childhood Pokemon collection, and... hoo boy. There's a lot more cards than I thought. So far, I've sorted four decks and I'm not quite halfway done. @__@

Lot prices on eBay are hit-and-miss. Do people even purchase old decks anymore? Or am I better off taking the cards I want and selling the rest as incomplete decks? Nothing is (as far as I know) particularly rare; they're mostly Diamond / Pearl / Platinum era. There's a handful of first-edition cards, too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Should probably mention that they're in good, used condition with a few rougher ones thrown in. Nothing torn.

I just sell them in bulk to Troll and Toad. It's easier than eBay, and it's a guaranteed sale.

Any early stuff?   1996 -2005 sets?

No complete sets from that era, but there are a few cards. These are the ones I can think off of the top of my head; I know there's more.
