The site is having issues loading your attachments, so I'll see if they work later today and get prices up then.
DCE: $4-$6. Selling sites charge a bit more than you can find it for on eBay (or, for that matter, how much they themselves would buy it for) so that they can make enough of a profit to support their payroll.
Full Heal Energy: $1.
Special Metal Energy from EX: Ruby and Sapphire : $2-$4
Boost Energy: $1-$2.
Multi Energy $1-$2.
Shiny = holofoil. (b'-')b
The value of the Base Set cards (the ones in the set with 102 cards) depends on whether they're first edition cards or not. Same goes for Victreebel, Dark Porygon2, Muk, Flareon, Shining Kabutops (yes this is a rare card), Aerodactyl, Skarmory, Yanma, Heracross, Dark Typhlosion, and Dark Scizor. How you can tell if they're first edition is if they have a 1 in a black circle on to the bottom left of the picture.
As for Wailmer and Mewtwo, I doubt they're fakes. Post pictures of them as an attachment to your next post.
And I can't price those Unown without knowing which ones they are and whether they are first edition cards or not.
Ungraded, that Alakazam Gold Star fetches around $30 at the moment.
Pikachu Gold Star seems to be going for $45-$60.
Sweet mercy that's a lot of cards! I'll get back to you on those, since German cards tend to be rare on the English eBay, and therefore I will not be able to get prices on many of these, particularly the commons.
Alakazam: $40-$60.
Pikachu: $6-$10.
That's because of things like PSA grading or Beckett grading (which certifies that it's the genuine article AND what condition it's in). Ungraded, that card fetches around $15. Graded by one of the grading agencies, it seems to fetch upwards of $75.
Uh... which Charizard? Post a picture of it as an attachment to your next post in this thread. I can't tell which Charizard it is since a lot of them are "completely holographic" because of something called a reverse holofoil.
I'm not a TCG player, I just randomly because of an impulse bought a random booster >.>
I checked up what I got there, saw "Oh, this thing shines" and I'm curious If It's worth anything xD
Spoiler:
That Lugia fetches between $10 and $15.

I've been wanting to sell my old pokemon cards for a while but wanted to know the value of them. I have about 700+ from the base, jungle, fossil and rocket sets. About 180 shadowless and a few misprints.

Quick question. What is worth more? Both in good to mint condition
Dragonite Holo 1st edition or a Normal Charizard?.

A Japanese Diglett would probably be worth $1-$2, depending on which Diglett it is (could be the Diglett from the Team Rocket set).
It could fetch anywhere between $15 and $30 depending on its condition, what price your competition is selling at, and who is currently looking for one.
I'll price out your cards later, and I'll do it in small bunches, as that is a lot of freaking cards to price in one go (it'd probably take me 6 hours to price them all at once).
Is it a Fossil Dragonite? Or is it from another set? And is the Charizard a shadowless Charizard or not?

Thanks. You don't have to worry about any that aren't worth that much. Just asking to see if any are worth a couple dollars or more.

Hey, wondering what a misprint (if its even one) card is worth. I have a Vaporeon and as you can see in the name, its missing the "n" in Vaporeon. EDIT: well never mind, the pics are horrible. but atleast you can tell what vaporeon it is...it is a holo card, if you couldnt tell.
EDIT 2: there is no " ' " over the e in pokemon in certain places. :( that means fake right?

Hey guys, this is my first ever post on these forums.
Just bought a theme deck over a week ago (my first time buying pokemon cards since 1999! And even then I only had like 5 lol)... I've been learning how to play the TCG, what the differences are between sets, expansions, booster packs, etc. and I think I'm okay for a beginner.
ANYWAYS, a friend of mine was wondering what the worth is of his collection. He has only the first edition prints of the entire first generation, and all final evolution cards are holos. I'm not sure about the other cards he has like trainer cards and stuff, or what doubles he may have.
Thanks guys!

Alakazam: $8 to $12
Blastoise: $30 to $40
Chansey: $4 to $6
Clefairy: $30 to $40
Top row, first image:
Alakazam: $6 to $10
Gyarados: $3 to $5
Pinsir: $3 to $5
Venusaur: $10 to $20
The Rocket's Trap: $3 to $5
Rocket's Sneak Attack: $3 to $5
Rest will be priced later.
Dragonite: $10 to $20
Charizard: $20 to $30
A lot of them seem to be worth a few dollars or so. Got the first batch priced out earlier in this post.
I'd have to know what some of your two letter condition abbreviations mean. I recognize most of them, but I'm not exactly sure what "MP" means.
Those don't look like legit cards with that Japanese text where the HP total is supposed to be (that part is actually in English on Japanese cards).
Light Vaporeon: $0.50 to $1
Light Jolteon $0.50 to $1
Vaporeon: $3 to $5
Zapdos: $2 to $4
Mewtwo: $5 to $10
Kangaskhan: $2 to $4
Chansey: $5 to $10
Those are going to be pretty difficult to price since I still have to search out their English names. If you can recognize the Pokemon and the sets they cards are from, that'd be a great help. Pricing takes long enough as it is without trying to figure out which exact card someone is talking about.
As for the Southern Islands/Tropical Islands stuff, I'll get back to you on those. The Japanese versions are a little hard to find on English eBay.
I do believe that it would be a fake. If you can get better pictures, that'd be nice, but it does most likely mean it's a fake.
I can't price them if I don't have specific cards named, as he might have cards of all 151 original Pokemon but not all of the Pokemon from the first several sets.

Now that I look at the picture, I realized I took it with Photo Booth on my Macbook, so the cards are mirrored. They are legitimate cards, but I can almost never find the two PLAY cards online, so I'm not sure how much they are worth.

I got all these Pokemon Cards to sell and I need to price check
So, all of this is all notes. Every card was from the Diamond and Pearl era (i.e. 2007). I think that this is all around $95, but I'm wondering what everyone else thinks. So, what is the price of all 178 of these cards?

I know the Coro Coro one (the one that looks like the older style of cards) fetches between $25 and $50, but I don't recognize the other two with them being mirrored like that. It might help me identify them if you flip them.
Alright. Can't exactly give prices based on condition, as the listings at the places I scour don't usually specify condition (and I don't really know of any site that does prices based on condition), but you can generally assume that there's a dramatic drop-off from near mint to slightly played on most of the cards. Since the common price range on eBay is probably what you can expect to get for them unless you're some sort of wizard salesman, I primarily use eBay. Was gonna price out the first few, but I'd like you to specify which of those Base Set ones are shadowless (meaning there's no shadow behind the card picture and the HP font isn't bolded). Whether it's shadowless or not when it comes to the Base Set cards is kind of important because it impacts the card's value.
First image, row two:
Venomoth: $3 to $6
Magneton: $2 to $4
Chansey: $4 to $6
Here Comes Team Rocket: $1 to $3
Dark Arbok: $2 to $4
Dark Machamp: $2 to $4
Hitmonchan: $2 to $4
Machamp: $8 to $10
Mewtwo $15 to $20
Ninetales: $15 to $20
$95 is a little hopeful for that collection. Just eyeballing it and not noticing any standout cards, I'd probably say that, at best, you could get $65 (if you're insanely lucky), but you're far more likely to fetch $35 to $45 for those, maybe even less. A lot of those are commons that most people wouldn't pay more than $0.25 for.
