How much is a POP series 5 Espeon * worth?

 

[donavannj]

Being the only one who actually bothers to do price estimates here, it takes me a while to do these sometimes, especially if my life keeps me busy. (someone please help me with this when someone posts a big long list like this ;; )

How much is my collection approximately worth? I collected Pokemon cards from 1998-2002. I roughly have around 850 cards (not counting energy). They all are in near mint/mint condition. Most of the Holofoils are 2nd edition. Here are my best cards:

Holographic-
Blastoise Base Set 2 $3-$5
Dark Arbok x2 $3-5
Magneton x2 Base Set 2 $1-4
Chansey Base Set 2 $3-5
Clefairy Base Set 2 $2-5
Scyther Base Set 2 $2-3
Wigglytuff x2 Base Set 2 $1-3
Dark Slowbro $3-5
Dark Raichu $5-10
Nidoking Base Set 2 $2-5
Sabrina's Gengar $8-12
Sabrina (Trainer Card) $4-6
Shining Magikarp $7-12
Hypno $2-3
Pidgeot Base Set 2 $3-5
Venusaur Base Set 2 $6-12
Poliwrath $3-6
Mewtwo $3-5
Dark Weezing $2-5
Lt. Surge (Trainer Card) $4-6
Brock's Rhydon $2-4
Clefable

Rare:
all these are worth between $1-5, roughly, with the possible exceptions being Computer Search and Super Energy Removal
Venomoth
Dark Golbat x3
Dark Gyarados
Brock's Protection (Trainer's Card)
Snorlax
Dark Arbok x2
Dark Slowbro
Computer Search x2 (Trainer's Card)
Lass x2 (Trainer's Card)
Super Energy Removal x2 (Trainer's Card)
Imposter Professor Oak (Trainer's Card)
Time Capsule (Trainer's Card)
Pokemon Trader x3 (Trainer's Card)
Recycle Energy (Energy Card)
Pokemon Breeder (Trainer's Card)
Lt. Surge's Raichu
Dark Dragonite
Dark Charizard
Dark Blastoise
Beedrill
Pidgeotto
Clefable
Hitmontop
Politoed
Victreebel
Brock's Onix
Dark Weezing
Celebi
Unown (G)
Golem

The other cards are common/uncommon of these sets:


- Base Set 1&2
- Jungle
- Fossil
- Team Rocket
- Gym Heroes
- Neo Genesis
- Neo Discovery
- Neo Revelation
- Neo Destiny
- Legendary Collection

Can someone give me a rough estimate? What can I realistically get for them off Ebay?

Hope these help even a little even though I didn't really bother with the rares themselves. Cut the price of their holo versions in half and you've got the value of the rare version of the card. Oh, and your Clefable is a non-holo version, so I gave the price for that version. Commons and uncommons fetch between $0.25 and $1, usually, depending on each.

1. Togetic $1-3

2. That's a freaking common. Not gonna fetch any more than $0.25. It's from Gym Challenge, but not worth selling by itself.

How much is a POP series 5 Espeon * worth?

None listed on eBay right now, but based on other POP Series 5 rares, it'd be about $4-6.

 

[pmarckoue]

What's Magnezone Prime goin for these days?

 

[donavannj]

It fetches anywhere between $25 and $40 at the moment.

 

[pmarckoue]

How much is the Black Charizrd* card, "Shining Charizard" card, and Mewtwo* card?

 

[donavannj]

How much is the Black Charizrd* card, "Shining Charizard" card, and Mewtwo* card?

Charizard * Delta Species fetches $60-90 depending on the condition and whether it's PSA graded or not (saw a PSA graded one going for $130). Probably affected by the "Charizard Premium".

Shining Charizard $40-70. Probably affected by the "Charizard Premium", but I dropped the range when I saw one going as low as $20.

Mewtwo * $30-50. Holy crap there's now a "Mewtwo Premium" effect for cards. o_o;;

 

[pmarckoue]

What do you mean by "Charizard Premium" and "Mewtwo Premium"?

 

[donavannj]

There's a significant price markup compared to similar cards with other Pokemon on them simply because of the Pokemon that are on them. Hence, you're paying a "premium" for the card.

 

[pmarckoue]

Ohhh ok. I also would like to know, did they reprint the Empoleon Lv. X? I have the one that says "Poke-Body: Supreme Command" instead of "Poke-Power." So I was wondering if that's considered an error and if it could be worth more than a reprint, if they made one.

 

[donavannj]

That was an error in the initial print runs, according to Bulbapedia, so, in theory, it could be worth more, and it does seem that the error version goes for about $3 more than the proper version. $10-14 for the error version and $7-11 for the proper version, and the tin promo goes for between $4-8.

 

[GH0]

So, I know I am a new member, but I have been looking for rough prices on numerous amounts of cards. I have thousands, from the base set to the one of the latest.

Along with the price guide, is there a list of what icon belongs to what set? I don't know what some of these sets even are anymore. I remember the first four, but after that, I can't remember some of them.

Anyways, here are some of the cards that I have been trying to find accurate prices on.

Base + Jungle + Fossil worth?

Hi there,

First of all I'll introduce myself. I'm David and I WAS an avid pokemon fanatic way back when. My interest in pokemon, like most, disintegrated with age and now I find myself hoarding a bunch of pokemon related items that I am wanting shut of.

I'm telling you all this because I don't want to lie and say I'm going to be a regular visitor. I can't promise that at all. I'm just here after some information from people who know what they are talking about - YOU!

Anyway, back to my 'story'.
I managed to shift a lot of my things - The selling of Nintendos and games. I gave most of the plush toys to some nieces and nephews. However, there is just one thing remaining that I can't get shut of... My Pokemon Card Collection (PICTURES ATTACHED).

I have a nice collection of Pokemon cards. Sure, it is only of the "original" 151 Pokemon but they are all in perfect condition with a lot of Shineys included too. Other than one card the collection is complete. I have tried to sell them on ebay with no luck at all. I just don't seem to be getting any interest in them. Have I missed anything? Have I overvalued them? Is there anywhere else I should consider selling them?

I would hate for them to go for "peanuts". After all, we all know how much it costs to put such a collection together. How many booster packs were opened, the agony of getting another bloody Magicarp and of course the sheer glee that ran through the bloodstream when I revealed a Shiney Charizard! These are more than just colourful printed paper... It was once a way of life, and an expensive one at that.

Thanks for reading, any advice is welcome.

My Collection:

SHINEY/HOLO CARDS:
1. VENUSAUR
2. CHARIZARD
3. BLASTOISE
4. PIDGEOT

[dcx2011]

The Base set cards are Base Set 1.

It's more of a "Set" than a collection. There are a total of 245 Cards - 152 of which consist of the "Original 151" (Including Ancient Mew). The rest of the cards are a mixture of Doubles, Trainers, Energy, Trainer owned Pokemon and Rocket Cards.

Holy crap that's a lot of cards to price. ._.;; (It takes me around 3 minutes per card and I would have to spend an hour pricing your cards). I'll try pricing these later in the week, though if someone else in this forum wants to try pricing them for you, then I will let them do it.

Merged your thread with our official pricing thread.

As for why they don't sell, it's highly possible you're overpricing them on eBay. People go to eBay to look for single cards that are cheaper than at the online stores that sell singles. I do base my pricings off of eBay, but I also base them off of how much I'd be willing to pay as a collector based off of the prices that are posted on eBay.

 

[GH0]

Yeah, that is a bit of my problem. I have so many cards ranging from when I was 8 or so to now, and I need some extra money, so I was trying to find accurate prices. While pojo works for while, and so was searching up ebay, I have found that it is generally inaccurate or too wildly fluctuating to base off of that.

Oh, and I have more. ;)

Do you happen to know of a good list that tells me what icon/image goes to what set? Especially for the newer ones?

 

[donavannj]

I do happen to know a list (having Googled one just now) that is current as of February 2010, so it's now outdated, but meets what you need it to do because you probably don't have any of the sets released since then.

[pokecole]

[donavannj]

How much are cards that say "childerens WB presents The first pokemon Movie" ? aha as i have a dragonite and mewtwo with it on them ?

Dragonite: $2.

Mewtwo: $3.

Not worth a whole lot because they were pretty common.
