I’m a child of the 80s and 90s but Pokemon only hit my radar when my son got into them. Now we collect them together and it’s a fun father-son activity. We watched your videos on understanding the rarity of cards and found it super helpful!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind comment! I really appreciate that, and it really means a lot that I could help you and your son out! Collecting together with your son sounds so awesome, you must be such a cool Dad! I’m jealous!! No doubt, your son absolutely loves it, he’ll definitely make some cherished memories of it!
@@Witkomon Hey I have a secret art leafeon is that a good card
@@Chefswade bro that is so rare get it graded
Wholesome comment; I hope my son takes interest in Pokemon with me when he’s of age, too.
Extremely informative thank you so much. I’ve just gotten back into collecting and it’s nice to really know what I have now to really appreciate them! Turns out I had a good stack of cool ones and didn’t even really think about it at the time of pulling. Now going forward every card I open is getting sleeved and organized, and I’ll actually know what I’m looking at!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! It really means a lot, I'm glad I could help, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
That's a good idea though, definitely sleeve every card you pull! Those scratches and dents can drop a cards value significantly unfortunately, so don't have to worry at all when it's protected!
Let me know if you need any help with your card though--identifying any and whatnot!
New begginer in collecting here! I'm glad that there are people who want to help out newbies such as myself, everything can sometimes be so confusing and there is so much details that one can miss out on! Thanks for making these videos, they really do help! I realised I have a lot of rare's and that's quite rad!
Aww, you're comment really means a lot, thank you so much! I'm really glad I could be that person to help you :D
If you have any other questions, or you need any help at all, definitely ask! I'm happy to help!
@@WitkomonHey, i have the shiny Gold mew card from celebrations. Do you think it will be worth something in the future.
Bro even am new interested in trading? Or buying
Super helpful! Between Shadowless and Unlimited and Base Set, I'm studying to figure out what I'm looking at most of the time. So many dishonest sellers trying to take advance of noobs like me.
I'm glad I could help! Hopefully you'll know what to look out for now :D
Phenomenal video and explanation!! Thank you for this!
Just stumbled upon your video after falling into tcg collecting… U have a very ASMR-ish voice, it’s soooo calming!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment, and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Glad I could be one of the first you stumble upon in the Pokemon hobby :D
Love the series. Keep up the work!❤
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it, and I appreciate the kind comment :)
I remember when I was a starter and you made a video like this and I enjoyed it and learned so much 😊 hope this vid helped new starters.
Aww, that’s so nice to hear! I’m glad I could help you on that older video, and that you came back on a newer one to say it! I appreciate it! I hope as well that this video may help many more to come :)
Thanks for making this video about Pokemon cards. I found it very informative & educational. 👍
Thats the trick! You can sell your card at any price you want but if you want to sell it in a decent amount of time you have to be in the price range of what people are selling it for. I always go down a little over the rest so I can sell and gain a good reputation then I can sell a little higher price in the future
You’re exactly right! Especially if you’re just starting out on something like eBay, nobody will pay more, or even the same, for your card, when they could buy from a trusted and reputable seller instead. It’s a risk, after all. So, you have to make that risk worthwhile by making your price slightly cheaper, usually 10-15%. And eventually you can slowly bring your prices up, even sell for a premium!
Thanks for this extremely useful video. I'm a beginner and this was the exact content I was looking for.
Hey man thanks for the video. I used to collect back in the day and I’m getting back into it so this helps.
No problem! I’m really glad I could help!
Very useful tutorial. Thank you so much! Will reference this video all the time!
Not a problem at all! I'm really glad I could help, and I'm especially glad that you enjoyed the video enough to even bookmark it!
Thank you!
This was the best explanation in great detail I’ve found on YT. I’m a 90s kid who grew up loving Pokémon but hadn’t been collecting for many years. My daughter recently got into it and I’ve joined in and have been having a blast collecting with her. Thanks for the vid and appreciate the help! 😃🙏
No problem! I’m really glad you found the video helpful, your comment means a lot!
That sounds so awesome that you’re collecting with your daughter! You’re having a blast, but she’s no doubt having a blast as well! I’m jealous! It would have been so cool if one of my parents were into Pokemon with me! (if only to buy me packs haha!)
thanks mate, great video this will help me out with my kids sets !
I'm looking into starting collecting pokemon cards together with my son of 9. Thank you for this explanation! We haven't started buying anything yet, because I first want to know what we're getting into. But this helps.
Buy basic tins, packs to start off!
I'm 11 and I got 4 tins full and a small tin full of GXS, EXS.
Thank you for doing these. It was very helpful. I need a little more help with mine. I’ve got them separated that’s a start.
No problem, I'm really glad I could help! If you need any help, or have any questions at all, I'd be happy to help!
Thank you for the vid, this was very informative for someone like me who really had no clue at all.
Not a problem at all! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and I'm glad I could help :)
Great video easy to follow thank you for this information,I needed this. Super easy to understand video ✌️
Not a problem at all! I'm really glad I could help, and I appreciate the kind comment! It means a lot :)
Thank you for the info, I’m new to the hobby and this helps a lot
No problem! I’m really glad I could help :D
Thanks for the help! Just today I remembered that back in 2021 my Ma got me a card pack from McDonalds when Pokemon was doing the 25th anniversary thing. Ive kept it all in a bag in a drawer until now. Today i decided to open the pack and what do you know, its the dang holo Pikachu fresh as can be!
Thank you, I've been watching a lot of pack breaks and they really know what they all meant thank you so much
No problem at all! I’m really glad I could help! You seem to know the lingo, calling them “breaks”, so maybe you know more than you think!!
Thank you so much for your his vid. I’ve been wanting to know if my Pokémon were worth it or not. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I’m glad you found the video helpful :)
WOW! This Was Extremely Helpful! Thanks A Lot!! 😁
No problem! I’m really glad I could help, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the comment :D
This was very helpful! Thank you!
No problem :)
The explanation of the symbols and 'rarities' were very helpful, thank you. I opened my first pack of tcg cards for the first time since the early 2000s. Managed a gold super rod with extremely poor centering 😂. Obviously when I was younger it was never about the monetary value. I will think about what I am doing whether it be collecting a specific mon or type and therefore buy singles OR just keep buying booster packs. We shall see.
I’m really glad you found the video helpful! Personally, I prefer a combination of both opening packs, and buying singles. Obviously, it’s a A LOT of fun to open packs, isn’t it, but it can get quite expensive… and, you aren’t guaranteed anything at all. But when you do pull something, what a rush! It becomes so meaningful. And, on the singles side, you can buy some really nice cards for $2-$5 dollars. So, I open packs for the fun, but don’t go overboard, and spend the rest on a few nice singles!
Thanks a lot i m just starting my collection and i m sure this will be very helpfull thanks again 😊
No problem! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and I'm happy that I could help !
is there also a sort of tgc player for japanes cards because cant find any japanes cards on tgc player or is the only option looking on ebay?
Thank you for this! I haven't collected cards since I was a kid, pretty, but my brother-in-law starting gifting me packs and I enjoyed getting some from the McDonald's events so I figured I should start organizing them. Good info and to the point!
As an aside, thanks for mentioning the "sold listings" part. I've been selling on eBay and other sites for over 10 years and it's mind boggling to me that people don't realize that people can set whatever price they want (but it only matters what it will actually sell for). I'm sure that tip will be helpful.
No problem at all! I'm glad I could help you organize your cards!!
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate your kind comment, it really means a lot! That's some brother-in-law of yours, I'm jealous! Could he be my brother-in-law?! Lol! I'm kidding, but that's awesome! The McDonalds cards are a lot of fun too!
THANKS MAN!!
great video for someone just getting into or back into collecting. nice work bud.
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you found it helpful :D
What a great video! Thank you!
No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
OMG! That helped soooooo much!
If I'm trying to buy packs on Amazon, do you recommend which ones I should focus on to get rare cards?
You missed the triple black star Shining pokemon from Neo sets and First edition marking for older cards! Realistically, no one is likely to randomly come across the Shining cards, but I hope no one is missing out on them either! Thanks for explaining the new systems to me, I recently bought some cards for nostalgia and had no idea what I was looking for in these new sets!
I love this it was so helpful
commenting again because this video was really useful trying to figure out how much my cards i got at the carboot sale are worth!
First! I love these videos. Now I can tell if my cards might be expensive.
Thank you so much! Wow, thank you got being early too!
Thanks for informations 🙂
Realy good job, thanks! :)
Sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it :D
Thank you, Super helpful :))
No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
I have a gold reverse holographic card that doesn't have a card number (the number at the bottom left something like 072/073) is this common or does this make tge card rare?
I have all my cards from 1999, all in protection sleeves and I have two holo charizards too.
your video was the only actually helpful pokemon card video thanks
Aww, thank you so much! That really means a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
got an master ball ace spec card with a red star, does the color of the star mean a different rarity?
this was so helpful !!! :}
Aww, I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
My 6 year old just got into Pokemon, these videos give me something to teach him in our morning drive.
Aww, wow, that’s so awesome to hear! Thank you so much for the kind comment, it means a lot! I’m glad I could help you, and your son! Hopefully, he enjoys learning about Pokemon cards, sure beats math I think!
Thanks to the video I have 65 old rare and 2 new rare, 5 secret rare but twof of those cards is also an ultra rare, 6 promo, and 11 double rae
One of the best Pokemon videos on TH-cam.
Awww, thank you so much! That really means a lot :)
This video was very helpful
I’m glad you liked it :)
That was the first time I have been able to get/make sure of the difference between the types ,That was great information bloke, BTW I threw a few hundred of 2006 Pokemon cards in the bin in 2018, .They had the red HP ,top right corner, ooh well , someone may have salvaged them ,I've always put all cards in sleeved Toploaders ,with a clip lock bag , so ide definitely say someone salvaged them, PS THANKS HEAPS FOR SHOWING THE KNOWN & UNKNOWNS OF P/ MON PRODUCT 💯
Not a problem at all! I appreciate the comment, and I’m really glad you found the video helpful! And you’re right! Who knows, maybe someone did salvage your old cards!
OMG thanks bro i got to know from your video that I am having 1 extra rare promo card. 🎉🎉
Thanks a lot bro ❤❤
No problem! I'm really glad I could help, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video :D
Big bro i have a question to know how to sell the pokemon card that we have would you can please make a separate video on that
Honestly, it differs quite a bit depending on where you live… but, you have a couple options. You can take your cards to a local card shop, they often buy cards, though they will usually give 30-50% less than market value. This is probably the easiest though. You can also sell your cards in person on some kind of marketplace platform, such as Facebook marketplace, Kijiji etc. This is also quite easy, and allows you to meet people in person. Finally you can sell online! Platforms like eBay and TCGplayer are great, but you have to deal with fees and shipping
What is The different with standard set foil and parrallel set?
Hi. Thanks for all the tips in the videos (I just subscribe). Can I just ask for one final tip?
I got a hyper rare secret nest ball, and im wonder: does the price normally increase over time or it decrease?
And I have got some cards that I can’t find any match for them, how do I price them? (For example I got a rare reverse holo armarouge)
Hey! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video :D
That gold nest ball is a nice card! As for the price, it can be tough to tell. Like I said, a card is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay! Obviously, as the card becomes old, it may go up in value, but who knows. Definitely hold on to it though!
As for the cards you are having a tough time with, if you head to 11:46, I have a whole section on pricing cards! In the case of the Armarougue, look up “Armarough 41/198” (I believe that’s right), on eBay or TCGplayer, and you should find the price! I believe it’s about a $1 card
@@Witkomon thanks for your help man
No problem! Let me know if you have any other questions, I’m happy to help!
Such a good video 🎉❤
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
Hi it’s me, glitch 😄(changed my channel name tho). Loved this video, even though it’s a change from your normal type of content. Your card collection is amazing, I’d kill for that rayquaza lol. Would love to see more vids like this, very informative. As always keep up the great work bro 👍🏾💯
Hey Glitch! Awesome to see you as always! LOL, I love that Rayquaza too haha! Anything shiny rayquaza is bound to be a banger, but this one is beautiful! Thanks for the kind comment though, I really appreciate it! More coming soon ✊
@@Witkomon can’t wait for more vids 💪🏾
:D I appreciate it!
0:31 I have that Gardeviour or however you spell it, on the far right
Yea I’m just going to just collect cards for now and put them in a binder then years down the road I will look for the rare symbols
Honestly, sounds good! If you start getting A LOT of cards, might be expensive to store them all in binders, so at that point could be a good idea to be selective! But, if you only have a few, by all means, throw all the ones you like in there! Can’t hurt to protect them!
Keep on the good work man
Thank you :)
Found a single gold star card today! so much fun. Best card me and my girlfriend has found yet.
Thank you for making this video I just didn't understand what cards I got 😊
No problem! I'm glad I could help you understand your cards!
@@Witkomon I'm gonna go back to your video regularly so I can check how you know what cards you got thanks mate 😊👍 I'll learn it
Awesome! I’m really glad you liked the video that much :D
If at any time you have some questions about your cards, or need any help, definitely let me know! I’m always happy to help!
Good video!
that's some real talk!
Thank you this helped!
No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
That was so much fun watching those be ripped again. I still remember buying four boxes of 86-87 Fleer when I was 16 years old and got four boxes for $60! They were $15 a box back then! I pulled a total of 11 jordan rookies out of four boxes. Most I sold over the years being young and dumb but I still have five of them including a sealed pack with Jordan being the top card you can see. I got offered $29,090 for that pack but it’s being left to my boys when I’m gone so they can learn to love the hobby just as much as I do
I think you might have the wrong video here, but inspiring nonetheless, lol! I knew nothing at all about basketball cards, but now I do!
Also, that pack you have sounds awesome (the one with the Jordan)! It's definitely not a bad idea to keep it for yourself, but honestly, there's no shame in selling it either. 30k is a serious chunk of change! And honestly, at the end of the day, it's just a thing! If you can let it go, maybe wouldn't be a bad idea to take the cash, and go on a nice vacation with your boys, and family. Maybe a couple lol! It's the memories that mean the most, not the things!
I personally would take that almost $30,000 deal. Anything could happen a fire, flood, theft, even economy could collapse. I would sell it and possibly buy gold reasonably safe and your kids would have an easier time selling gold than a Jordan card. Just my opinion. Still awesome to own something so valuable. Happy hunting.
That’s sound advice! But, as a collector myself, I totally understand wanting to keep it, LOL! Especially if it’s something so rare and nostalgic-something money can’t really buy again!
Thank you
Thank you I found some really good cards
No problem! I’m really glad I could help :D
Hi thank you so much I’ve got a hyper rare card and I’ve wanted to know if it was valuable enough to so much money, again thank you so much!😊
The legend returns!
Yes! :D
My Giratina VSTAR that i pulled has a symbol of what looks to be a bat or something taking flight, And that symbol is before the letter, I think it has a white star
Alt art cards are my all time favourite but i pulled a three star gold cards recently and i got pretty excited
I have to agree with you on the alt arts, but triple gold star hyper rares are also pretty awesome! Nice pull! What’s your favorite alt art? Mine is Celebi V from fusion strike!
@@Witkomon that's a really tough question honestly, I like the dunsparce card when they're all just chilling in the house, I like that new magikarp one with the crazy designs behind him from the last set, there are so many of them
Those are two very nice ones! I have that Dundparce actually, but not the Magikarp… not sure I’m willing to pay that price for it, haha, but certainly a GORGEOUS card!
thanks for the info
No problem :)
I have a nice Articuno EX card sliver star, and it's only worth 8$ meh.... It looks neat so I'm keeping it. XD
Hey, it's not always ALL about value! Some of my favorite cards are not worth much at all, and some random cards that I don't particularly care for are worth a lot! Lol!
I have a huge tote of these from the 90's. Can't wait to get them to my son for his kids. (Looking out for the valuable ones of course ;😊 )
Haha, that's a good idea! Anything SUPER valuable, maybe keep safe for now! You can always give them to your grandsons when they grow up a little bit! But, that sounds so nice! I'm sure they will love it so much!
I like your collection they're nice cards I probably don't have as many record cards as you But I have a few
Thank you! I’m glad you like it! You have a few? Which is your favourite?
Thank you for this greatly informative video.
It was very helpful to me , a very confused 🥴59 year old mum trying to work out if anything in my sons 1999 - around 2003 (when he grew out of Pokemon) is rare and sought after. He’s not a bit interested, but I bet he would be if I hit the jackpot lol 😆.
Not a problem at all! I'm really glad I could help! Although, this video is more focused towards modern cards, vintage is an entirely new beast! With vintage cards, it really depends on the card itself, the rarity doesn't matter so much. Typically, any card you see with some kind of holographic effect might be the most valuable. But, I would recommend going to part 2 of this video, and looking up the individual value of your cards. eBay would be the best for vintage. Just enter the name of the card, as well as it's set number (for vintage, this will be in the bottom right), and hit sold listings. Here you can average price!
Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions at all, I'd be happy to help!
**Also, I realize I'm referring to these cards as "vintage", haha they aren't actually THAT old! I worry when the cards I grew up with will soon be called "vintage"...**

Thanks for helping a parent out to help my son. 😊
No problem! I’m glad I could help you, help your son!
I have a kyurem from 2013 with silver edges and has a world championship 2013 design on the back with some Chinese? Writing on the picture. Is it rare by chance ?
My card are all white star and 7 have no symbol either it's circle diamond and etc. it doesn't have any what does that mean?
My Srceus doesn’t have a number on the bottom right it just says AR3 with a star what does that mean?
hi! my card doesn't have a symbol at all even the small number before a symbol. what does it mean?
thank you,,now I know how to determine the rarity of the card. newbie here.
No problem! I’m really glad I could help :)
I have some 8 inches by 6 inches pokemon cards and was wondering if they have any value. One of them I noticed the little version sold for $700 and I wanna know if I could get that much with the bigger version.
So, those are Jumbo cards. All of them, are basically promo cards. Most often, they are a jumbo version of a standard card, included at the front of a box. It depends entirely on the card, so you’ll have to look up each one individually to find the value, but unfortunately most jumbo cards are really not worth that much. Significantly less than their standard version, at least. The market is just not that big for jumbo cards. Most will be worth around $10-$20, but, there are some exceptions for some more rare/desirable cards!
have a old pidgeot 24/64 silver/gold color i cant find it anywhere i look any idéas?
Really well put together
Thank you, I appreciate the kind comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@Witkomon I did me and my son watched it the next generation of collector
Aww, that means a lot! I hope your son liked the video as well! At least, all the colourful cool looking cards!
I have a Gold V evolution Charizard with gold background, there is no star or anything like that just a big green gem, it says Zerystal dragon idk that that means. Can someone help me out?
Thank you very much for this. I have one additional question. Some of my double gold star cards have open stars, while one other has filled in stars. Does that make a difference? All three cards are from the Paldean Fates set. Thanks in advance!
Ah! So, Pokemon actually introduced a new rarity symbol in Palawan Fates, that’s what you’re seeing!
I made a short on that actually, maybe this will help:
Find SHINY RARE Pokemon!
th-cam.com/users/shortsHXwbPBEQ4eA?feature=share
But in short, the single outlined gold star is a “shiny rare”. In terms of rarity, pull rates are similar to a single gold star illustration rare. The double outlined gold star would be a “shiny ultra rare”, roughly equivalent in rarity to a double silver star, ultra rare.
@@Witkomon Thanks! That explains a lot
Great Video Man
Thank you! I appreciate it!
theres also another rarity well not really but if you see a ditto on the bottom then that means its a peal ditto card so you have a sticker as a pokemon card reverse holo and you put it on the ditto and when you pell off a little you see ditto
Great video, thank you. I'm a sports card collector and seller. My son started to collect and trade Pokemon at school, I found one that I sold on eBay for $675. Now I have a hint on what to look at so he doesn't trade em
So HELPFUL I REALIZED MY RB CHARZARED IS WORTH ALOT tysm!!

And that's an awesome card by the way, worth quite a lot! You're really lucky!!
@@Witkomon yes and you earned his sub hope u will reply to me on other videos!
Of course I will! Thanks so much :)
Best explanation on youtube.
I appreciate that :)
4:43 that pikachu V i used to have but now i have a Jumbo Charizard Ex
Ooooh nice! Which do you like better? Your Charizard, or the Pikachu you used to have?
Excellent video
Thank you :)
Well i have a doubt do secret rare cards have to be hyper rare cards or ultra or holo cards can also fit
I algo have two with the rainbow A symbol
ive got this zacian and it shows a rainbow circle with a white A inside what does that mean? I also have a Holo Alolan Meowth and I cant find the smybol anywhere ive got two alolan rattata's that both have a white circle. A golbat also woith a white circle and a reverse holo thievul with a white star? What do they all mean?
So, the white circle is a common. It’s the same as a black circle, a circle, will always mean common. It’s white, only because a black circle would be impossible to see on a dark card! As for the rainbow A, that’s an “Amazing Rare”. I talk about it in the video actually, it’s in the additional rarities segment. Amazing rare cards are pretty niche, they were introduced in the sword and shield era, and featured in only 2 sets. They were not hugely popular, so they were discontinued pretty quick. Most are not worth a whole lot unfortunately, only a few bucks each. But, they are equivalent to an illustration rare, single gold star card, so still pretty rare, and nice!
I have the exact pawmot card and quaxwell card
