Anyone familiar with the value of Pokemon cards? (Charizard lol)
#26978742 - 10/10/20 03:57 PM (3 years, 3 months ago) |

I have a base set shadow-less Charizard that I got from a trade I made with some neighborhood kid back around 1998 or 1999 (IIRC) when pokemon was starting to blow up in the US. From my understanding this "shadow-less" card is one of the rarest Charizard cards around, only the "1st edition" being more rare (?).
The card I have was never played and has spent most of its life in a protective sleeve in a box in a closet. To my eyes it is pretty much in mint condition, no bends or creases, no scrapes or marks seen by the eye, edges are in perfect condition. With a scope there are a few teeny teeny tiny scratches, but those aren't really seen or noticed with the eye.
I just randomly came across all of my old pokemon cards when I was cleaning out my closet so I can hang up and dry all of my weed in there lol. So I started to get curious about the value of the card and looked into a bit. I was expecting it to be worth maybe $100 to $200....I came across one site that was saying the card I have is worth about $50 to $75, but I thought it would be worth a little more than that (maybe it was an old website/page?).
But then I looked around on ebay and it looks like some folks are willing to spend $1,000+ and upwards for this card....Is this for real? I can't wrap my mind around if this is real and how much these cards are actually going for on ebay right now?
These are the listings for the card I have>>> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1311&_nkw=shadowless+charizard&_sacat=0

Are these #'s for real? Those #'s are so much higher than what I thought it would be I'm having a hard time believing it.
Has the value of pokemon cards gone up recently or something?
For anyone that knows a thing or two about cards & collectibles, is this just a momentary spike in the value or will it likely continue to increase over the years?
I have some other rare cards too, but of course the Charizard is the crown jewel lol.
These cards have so much sentimental value to me and nostalgia that it'd be super tough for me to let go of them and sell, but if the Charizard is fetching four figure numbers right now then I am very tempted to do so.
I know I'd have to get it graded by PSA or Becket for it's true value to shine.

If you post pics of front and back I can give you an idea of what it will traded at but it will be a very rough grading because I know a bit about centering on the back of the card, whitening on the corner and just the edges of the card etc. Sounds awesome and I'd like a picture anyway if you can. Shadowless Charizards are even more rare because one guy owns 80% of 1st edition Charizards produced. He was even on pawn stars with his collection and an expert. I should say at the time he didn't have as much as he does now This actually tells a lot about the history of the Charizard 1st edition cards there rarity etc. He also explains if it's a great card Beckket grades harsher and some cards that grade 10 on Becket go for 30- 40 grand. Pictures would help to which company you want to get it grade from

My pokemon card collection booklet that i still have is so cool. Its got all 3 charizard blastoise veinasaur holographics, and all the best holographics of the first 150. i felt like such a gangster at school with that book in 1998. Probably not the super origionals that are worth money but, even if my collection was worth 10 grand i wouldnt sell it

I have a ton of old magic cards from when magic originally came out, all in pristine condition. It's my collection from when I was a kid. I sometimes wonder if some of them are valuable, but I could never sell any of it anyway. It's all stuff from like the first couple of years of magic, and I know at least some of the stuff was rare at the time. Still, I could never sell it, but I do wonder about it sometimes.

Sara with some bullshit. People don’t pay for psa 10s because they’re fake. I’ll give you that Beckett, maybe is harder cuz they have the 9.5s but gtfo with psa 10s aren’t 10s. If any of my cards graded out to a psa 10 I’d be ecstatic, how many cards have you bought RAW and had graded. Also a psa 9 and a bgs 9 look exactly the same. I don’t buy the psa case for one second. The guy with a Honus Wagner t-206 got it sold by psa, I hate when people talk about how psa tens don’t count its stupid af
I just looked and apparently psa does give out half point grades now

Any actual collector would pay for a PSA 9 or 10, crack it out and have it graded by BGS. It can go both ways actually, with a BGS 10 not receiving a psa 10 and vice versa
BGS is better for newer 2000< Cards tho

Literally look it up. 
You obviously just have personal beef with me and are trying to be difficult because of that.
All I’m doing is trying to educate people and you’re just here to start shit.
Grow up.

Ya, I’ve bought a lot of product off TCG player, why do you ask?
If you’re looking to sell its better to go to a collector directly or ebay.

Shadowless Charizards are even more rare because one guy owns 80% of 1st edition Charizards produced.....
I forgot about this thread and just came across these pics of my card that I took a while ago, then remembered that I never posted em' in this thread. I only have pics of the front of it RN because I'm too lazy to get the card out and take a photo of the back and then upload it to my computer and then resize the pic then delete EXIF data then upload it to the shroomery lol.
But the back of the card doesn't have any marks or scratches or creases or anything.
To my eyes my card appears pretty "clean" and in decent shape. No creases and no bends anywhere, the card is perfectly straight & flat. No edges are frayed or splitting. On the very top edge of the card there is some very slight wearing, but no fraying of the edges and no delamination. There are just a few teeny tiny specs/scratches on the front/face of the card, most of which can't be seen unless the lighting is right.
I don't know how strict the grading services are. I assume that they are pretty strict and astringent and that to get a high grade a card has to be super duper pristine and that even the tiniest imperfection will drop the grading dramatically? I assumed that if a card has even just one tiny little scratch it would basically drop the card down to like a 3 or 4, but I've seen pics of cards that visibly look way worse than my card have a grading of like 4 to 5. I've seen pics of Charizards graded as 1 or 2 still fetching $100 to a few hundred dollars .
I assume mine is at least a 6? I really have no idea though. I don't know how strict grading is or how many points a tiny scratch/spec will take down the grade.
Here's my Charizard! lol ....In the 2nd pic, you can kinda see there are a few teeny tiny specs/scratches. For the most part, though, I feel it's in pretty decent shape. I honestly feel it is in damn near mint condition to my "amateur" eyes, but I'm not a collector and don't have any idea how perfect a card needs to be to be considered "near mint".

The cut on the Bottom right corner is a factory defect(looks like) I would ballpark it at a 3-4, maybe lower, that one side is rough. The rule of thumb is that a cards overall grade can only score half a point higher than its lowest grade in any subcategory so if those edges get a 3 1/2 because of the defect I mentioning the rest of the card would bring it up to about a four I don't know what they would grade that edge at but that will considerably decrease the grade. I'd sell it as is, but I'm lazy and wouldn't want to bother for a 50 extra dollar turnaround after waiting for the grade and being out the grading money while you wait
This is all because I'm clueless though and I have a beef with Sara

What "cut" are you talking about? Or what do you mean by, "cut"?
I'm clueless when it comes to card grading, but I don't see any cut on the bottom right corner of the card?
And what particular side/edge do you consider to be in "rough" shape? Or are you saying the entire front/face of the card is in rough shape?
So only a 3 or 4, eh?
I thought it might be a little higher than that, but .
I've seen cards that look in rougher shape than mine graded at or higher than that though. I'm looking at some examples of Charizard's graded at 3 & 4 (PSA) right now and they all have more visible scratches on the front/face of the card than mine and one or more edges are visibly frayed/worn a little bit.

That card looks pretty near mint. Maybe he thinks the shadow from your finger is a missing piece of the card.

I feel it looks damn near "near-mint" too .
I don't see any cuts on the card or how the front of the card is in "rough" shape?
All I see is, and I'm trying to be "strict" and picky about any imperfection that I see....The top-edge of the card has some very mild/slight "scuffing" (but not enough that it is frayed or splitting or "roughed up"), there is a mild/light scratch in the holo near the tongue that you can see if the lighting is right and the card is held at an angle (not even sure if it's a scratch or part of the art), and I see two other specs/marks about the size of a pin head that are not seen unless the card is held in light and looked at from an angle.
In normal lighting, looking at the card with my own eyes, I don't see anything wrong with the card at all. But under very bright lighting or a flash I can see a few slight imperfections like I described above.

Hey openmind, the card looks pretty good, I'm seeing what is referred to as "silvering" along the top edge, also to the left of the art in that thin area before you get to the border, and is that a silver spec to the left of the text box? Also look closely near Charizard's mouth, that vertical line is referred to as a "print line" and their maybe another on the right side of the art, but the lighting on that side in the pic makes it hard to tell. Something as small as a white spec/dot on a corner/edge when looking at the back of a card can hold it back from a 10 grade, this is why 10 grades fetch such high premiums.
This card is definitely worth grading regardless of this, from what I see and based on what you have described, your looking at a strong 7, possibly an 8. The market for these is good. The centering looks good on the front, carefully take a peak at the back and see if the border on either side is noticeably thicker/thinner than the other side, and do the same for the top and bottom border.

Hey Sara, just wondering what you think of the MTG scene and where it might be 15-20 years from now. I’ve got my tabletop crew but we don’t venture out into the world of cardshops/tournaments. Just wondering if you think Magic is at a peak right now, or if it’ll always pretty much be a mainstay in the realm of card games. Question being semi focused on card values moving forward.

Yeah honestly if I had some super valuable Pokémon cards I'd sell them right now too.
Nostalgia is FLEETING.
The pandemic REALLY brought up the value in tons of collectible nostalgia things like this and it will come down. WAY DOWN.
Will they still be worth something? Sure. But nothing like the mania there is today.
And as for the future of MTG card- I'd also say SELL at this peak.The problem with MTG is that it's WAY TOO HUGE- and vast- and the "life body" of MTG as a table top game is DYING.
Soon MTG will be a distant memory. And an OG "Black Lotus" might go for $20 at a garage sale because some little girl liked a picture of a black flower on a slice of thin cardboard.

THE whole "shadow" versus" shadowless thing takes like 5 minutes to figure out by reading a quick google search article with pictures.
It IS a way to tell the earliest printed cards though from what I understand.

Seriously_trippin said: If you post pics of front and back I can give you an idea of what it will traded at but it will be a very rough grading because I know a bit about centering on the back of the card, whitening on the corner and just the edges of the card etc. Sounds awesome and I'd like a picture anyway if you can. Shadowless Charizards are even more rare because one guy owns 80% of 1st edition Charizards produced.....
I forgot about this thread and just came across these pics of my card that I took a while ago, then remembered that I never posted em' in this thread. I only have pics of the front of it RN because I'm too lazy to get the card out and take a photo of the back and then upload it to my computer and then resize the pic then delete EXIF data then upload it to the shroomery lol.
But the back of the card doesn't have any marks or scratches or creases or anything.
To my eyes my card appears pretty "clean" and in decent shape. No creases and no bends anywhere, the card is perfectly straight & flat. No edges are frayed or splitting. On the very top edge of the card there is some very slight wearing, but no fraying of the edges and no delamination. There are just a few teeny tiny specs/scratches on the front/face of the card, most of which can't be seen unless the lighting is right.
I don't know how strict the grading services are. I assume that they are pretty strict and astringent and that to get a high grade a card has to be super duper pristine and that even the tiniest imperfection will drop the grading dramatically? I assumed that if a card has even just one tiny little scratch it would basically drop the card down to like a 3 or 4, but I've seen pics of cards that visibly look way worse than my card have a grading of like 4 to 5. I've seen pics of Charizards graded as 1 or 2 still fetching $100 to a few hundred dollars .
I assume mine is at least a 6? I really have no idea though. I don't know how strict grading is or how many points a tiny scratch/spec will take down the grade.
Here's my Charizard! lol ....In the 2nd pic, you can kinda see there are a few teeny tiny specs/scratches. For the most part, though, I feel it's in pretty decent shape. I honestly feel it is in damn near mint condition to my "amateur" eyes, but I'm not a collector and don't have any idea how perfect a card needs to be to be considered "near mint".

Wow! That is so cool. This is a Base set Holographic Charizard! It’s not the quarter million$ card unfortunately but that doesn’t make it cheap here’s one listing 1999 Pokemon Charizard Rare Unlimited Base Set Holo 4/102 Psa 3 Very SAVE Buying options About this page $395.00 +$40.49 est. tax $4.99 delivery eBay Visit site and that’s with a crap PSA grade of 3 .From your pictures, I had to guess it’s closer to about seven or eight ,though you may have a rare holo bleed where bits of holo foil are speckled on the card in places it shouldn’t be. To determine that I’d need you to use like a phone flashlight and take a pic of the dots of almost silver foil. It could be wear and tear and just pieces of the holo are showing because the card surface may have worn a bit or it could be a rare holo bleed only a flashlight pic could tell there . Without the holo bleed though it’s still worth 400$ now and prolly much more down the line. So good find ! Buy penny sleeves for the card and plastic toploaders. Any card shop will know what you’re talking about. That will essentially protect the investment until you can either grade it or sell it.
I actually have a Pokémon opening YouTube channel with my brother and I’d love to share it with the Shroomery but didn’t know if anyone is interested. It’s fun to see the art in Pokémon openings and I’d love to share it and we recently got a pikachu and zekrom worth about 3 grand when I spent 110$ on a box but all in total 1000$+ to get to that card.

Also when I say this card is possibly a 7-8 I mean PSA and that’s optimistic from them because they are pretty strict. CGC is less strict but you’ll get a little less when you sell, then there’s Beckett which is a brutal rating system that if you got a great grade it could triple the value. It’s a lot of gambling based on personal grading experience

Yeah unfortunately the market already crashed really. Sealed product is still expensive but single cards are crashing and PSA which is the grading co. I'd have to use to get a perfect 10 and that would make it the 3k-4k they shut down their entire grading facilities because so many people sent in PSA submissions. So my end goal is to ride out the market crash and sell it for about 3 grand in maybe a year or so. All of the prices going down is not necessarily reflective on what the price is going to be in the next year or two because there is the devoted Pokemon fan base that will continue to buy cards no matter what the fad is.

Try to sell it ungraded NOW while stuff is still inflated would be my suggestion. I mean $3000 is a lot of money dude.
Take what you can get is my opinion but it's your card and you know more about the scene than me, so .
Hell, if you could BREAK EVEN I'd call it a win.
Sell what you can to break even and THEN start planning for the future.

Man I was spending all my money on 90s baseball cards like a fucking idiot. They are somehow worth less now than they were back then. I thought everythibg appreciated even if at least a little. I didn’t even like baseball that much
If I would’ve stuck that money into MtG which I love to this day I’d be retired.

That stuff you mention... they made very few of....., and what few WERE saved were probably poorly saved.
Think about it. They are printing BILLIONS of Magic the Gathering and Pokemon cards AND*** *have been** for years now.
BILLIONS
Of course there are "rare ones"
AND*** people are saving them. MILLIONS OF RARES.
The market is so fucking flooded it's not even funny.

I definitely can, especially in 20+ years. I bet you 20 bucks a charizard is valuable until the total collapse of modern society It's a good bet, you will never have to pay

Try to sell it ungraded NOW while stuff is still inflated would be my suggestion. I mean $3000 is a lot of money dude.
Take what you can get is my opinion but it's your card and you know more about the scene than me, so .
Hell, if you could BREAK EVEN I'd call it a win.
Sell what you can to break even and THEN start planning for the future.
Normally if this were an English Pikachu card you’d be right it’ll be a while before those become scarce and gain value in the Pokémon collector world vs the pandemic pokemon year again. However this particular PikaRom Pikachu and zekrom only was printed in this one print run in 2018 in japan only and the box is now 200$ sealed because the cards gets rarer every 3 or 4 months. This particular card is also So centered and flawless as a collector it wouldn’t make sense the sell that card for 200-300$ instead of 2-3k+
. Now an English card I have is a Zacian V gold and it’s not centered perfect and wasn’t sleeved for a while after opening but good condition ( it was my bro’s) that I’d love to sell ungraded for 200$ So it varies . Find more financial stability in Japanese sets then English sets as far as making big money from a small investment. The box I got the 3k card out of was a 90$ box (110$) with shipping from Osaka but that’d be 3x what I started with essentially. Since my market is the Japanese sector of Pokémon cards we’ve actually seen Japanese boxes rising in price because of scalpers . I may just send in the Pikachu and Zekrom to Beckket and try my luck well PSA is down we will see.

I have an Aaron Rodgers rookie card that is a gold parallel #'d to /99 I think will grade from a 9-9.5. I would be crushed if it got an 8.5 b it would still be worth a good 800
