Even as a kid I wanted to smack my friends for how they treated their cards, some of them even folded their cards and placed them in their back pocket.
Halick That's just weird.
Halick yep thats what the kids at my school do
+firewolf240 MC same ... dumb asses
+BobvanKay Lol that's nothing some kid WROTE HIS FUCKING NAME on all of my cards! Then again I only had like 100 at the time. One was a holo venasaur!
FOLDED??
Watching this now in 2020 is still all relivent, yet the prices have sky rocketed!
i love how people are asking how much their cards are worth here in the comments and not googling them
My parents threw out most of my pokemon collectibles when I was 18 without asking me including some genuinely rare things and japanese exclusives... Not fair.. I just hope the cards I have left will be worth something
Go fuck your self
anissful anissfull Did someone F$Ck u?? shame man... you shouldn't be telling people this, you low life loser!
No cool man
anissful anissfull You know what's not cool, "man"? Telling someone to go fuck themselves over - 1 - Not a dickish thing THEY did. 2 - A FUCKING TH-cam COMMENT. Jeez, no wonder they say technology is ruining the earth...
I feel you..
My friend used to be able to feel foils in packs by slightly bending them and be able to tell the resistance. He was good at it too, would go like 8 for 10 scanning packs before he bought them.
I swear if i could go back in time and save my packs...i could have some money i need now as a adult lol
RasenRendan X exactly my thought!! On top of that I may have had that non first edition charizard card. Argh.
@@YayoiFujoshi it's worth nothing. I pulled a shiny char gx in print. Made 300 bucks.
I keep all my ORIGINAL Pokemon cards in Slip Folders. I was like 12.
Then some dicks grabbed my folder and rode off with them all. :(
Me as well except I was 9
+ozboybrian Maybe its me. I did that when i lived in Detroit. It was 2000 or 2001. Album was on the pourch, i took it and drove away.
+Saw'ich Gibson Replying to see if it was you when OP replies. :P
Saw'ich Gibson Nah. They ripped it from my hands when I was showing them and rode off on their bikes like cowards.
+ozboybrian aye man it's ok my sisters boyfriend actidently got rid of his first edition mint condition Charzard
8:28 imagine you sold that to someone for $200, and he found a Charizard in there.
+Spinda He'd have still lost money unless it was a first edition.
Spinda my brother has a 1999 charizard and it was on the cover of this video
he died interesting
Spinda Or blastoise or venusaur
zivex how do you know it’s the same one
I have a goldfish named "Magikarp"... How much is that worth? According to some guy I bought it from that I met on a cruise ship, it's apparently a gold mine!!
***** Apparently didn't get the joke.
I had a shiny Mewtwo at one point, but I lost it. I did a quick lookup and it's worth EIGHTY FUCKING DOLLARS.
FUCK.
Hey, just wanted to let you know that it's a few thousand now to make you feel bad lol
@@FlaresAway You really had to do him like that
I remember watching this video when it first came out; and it was the foundation for my understanding of the value of Pokemon cards. Prior to that, I was under the impression that my non-mint collection would be worth a fortune someday.
I remember seeing the value of a sealed 1st ed base set box at $6000, and assumed it was an absurd amount that even die-hard collectors couldn't possibly justify spending.
Needless to say, within the last year, when I heard that individual PACKS were selling for $6000+, let alone a sealed box, I was so confused. It all makes sense, but it's still cathartic witnessing the value skyrocket to the level it is now.
Very nice video! I still have all my cards from when I was little, as well as some more when I went through a phase back around 2008. I got about 1,600 total. They probably aren't worth much, even with some of the holos I have, but it's all about the memories and good times I had collecting them. I might be on the verge of another collecting phase. I've been watching so many Pokemon videos lately, it may not be long before I buy a few more packs.
My Ancient Mew card isnt worth much........
I know how that feels
Awesome video J, we just unpacked 8 old school packs on our channel and we got some insane pulls! Keep the content coming buddy!
I had a first edition Charizard in first Grade. I gave it to my friend for free, not knowing anything. :(
Really? Lawl :D
IKR?
! o
!
I had one and gave it to my first girlfriend for free... Now i'm really fucking regretting it...
insectlover602 I traded one for a regular machamp card and regret it now
Gabriel Torres
.... Why?
Chrizard's attack does way more damage, i'm sure...
There was this one time where I had a friend (Strong emphasis on the word HAD) who I gave pokemon cards to. I did not trade with her, I just gave them to her just because I was generous and kind. (I didn't give her ALL of my pokemon cards btw) I gave her ALOT of them though, but I didn't mind. I do also remember giving her one of my most favorite cards, Electrike. I liked that card a lot, even though I didn't pay too much attention to it. I gave it too her and she seemed happy, and that was all cared I about because I was happy seeing my friend happy. So 2 to 3 years later, things have DRASTICALLY changed since then and we have parted as freinds and became enemies. One day we were having a argument and either she or I brought up my pokemon cards and then I said: "You know, what even happened to the pokemon cards I gave you?" And what she said next made me so upset and crushed in despair. She said this in a sassy tone: "Oh, I threw them all away." That did it for me. Right when after she said that, I felt so betrayed. I knew that from that day forward there was no chance of going back the same way again. I still regret giving her those cards to this day, including my beloved Elecktrike.
RIP.
The pokemon card collection i had as a kid was pretty sweet. I remember once getting 4 booster packs and opening Charizards from 3 of them. I can't remember which 3, but I know I needed just 3 cards to have the entire set. And I kept them all in card sleeves in numerical order:p
However, when i grew out of it I gave all my cards to a friend of mines kid brother. I was the only kid at my school that had a Holo Muk aswell:p
Really Wish I had kept them.
Carsten Toudal Kristensen lol the amount of liars on here is phenomenal
I had a bunch of 1st edition cards as a child. And one day i got in a fight with my brother. There was a lot of yelling and it ended with him throwing my entire binder full of cards in to the fire place. Now im going to show him this video.
dude that fucking sucks
HA!
That's going to be soooo funny :)
It was.
"im sooo sorry I didn't know they would be that much"
Thank you for this vid bro, watched it when it first came out when I was a kid. I'd then buy cheap PSA 9 and 10s and sleeve all my cards after opening, and my collection off of spending 300 is now worth 5k
This was very informative. Thank you for your time. 👍
When I was in grade 2 I had 32 rare cards and 29 of them were foil cards , That year my school made a time capsule and I put my cards in a card box wrote myself a letter and put them in the time capsule. I get my cards back in the year 2025. ! Ill be 36. going to the reunion grabbing my cards and Im gone lol.
That's so cool, always wanted to do a time capsule.
english base set was released in 1999, 16 years ago, if you'll be 36 in 2025 that means youre 26 right now. in 1999 you were 10 years old, last time i checked 10 year olds were not grade 2 lol
and thats giving you the benefit of the doubt that you put only base set cards in there, if you put any newer cards like jungle and fossil you would have almost been 11 or 12
watchettv mennn he might have some IQ issues u know
do you want to know what time I was born too watchettv. Im actually 25 right now. why do you have to ruin my fun? my cards have been in the time capsule for a long time. who cares how old I was . Pluss I started kindergarden a year late because of moving around . so I was 1 year older then my classmates. So maybe I got my age wrong. You dont know me so stfu. ok maybe I aws younger then 10 it was a long time ago. go sort out your socks you skittso
Kids start kindegarten somewhere around 6 or 7. I don't think it's a huge stretch for him to have been 10 in second grade. How old are you that you're nitpicking over him being a year off?
...I don't have a box anymore, I gave it away years ago. Ashamed I am
I can't believe I opened the Shiny Mega Rayquaza booster pack! At least something rare was in it: an Ultra Rare Kyurem EX 25/98. Now I _need_ that clear folder. This reminds me why unopened toy pakages are valuable than the ones that were opened; just like Transformers Combiner Wars toys! Thanks for your advice! You inspired me!
This video cheered me up as I really do have an emotional attachment to my cards and would only sell them if I thought I could makes a very large amount of money.
And then, you feel bad for yourself when you realise that you lost pokemon cards that nowadays are more valuable than your car ;_;
Funny thing is that while this may be a pokemon video; all the info within actually is true for Yu-Gi-Oh value as well
+Ino Yamanaka Fuck Yu-Gi-Oh. Thats the wanna be for pokemon cards ;p
+GG Noob yugioh did the card thing first AND better so I don't see how it can be a wanna be for pokemon cards lol
+Ino Yamanaka UNtil recently that is. While the Yu-gi-oh market is still crazy good, the comnpetitive scene has gotten unbelievably stupid because of that XYZ crap. Without some saving grace that competitive scene could fall apart quick.
The older cards may grow in value because of it though. Although I'll be honest I first thought the god cards would hold up better in value than they did. All the counterfeit bogus cards that flooded the market shortly before, during, and after made sure the real cards would be valueless -.- same could be said about the legendary dragon cards that Yugi, Joey, and Kaiba each got. On a side note I'm ecstatic to see another person who is a fan of both pokemon AND yugioh. As that other guy is a prime example of how diverse the fan base for both franchises truly are. Like the play station and X box. Digimon is the Nintendo equivalent, meaning not nearly as popular as the other two lol
GAMER LIVE The graded/collector Yugioh market is nowhere near as big as Pokemon, though.
I started collecting pokemon cards even during red and blues debut. I got rid of the box when i was still a kid. The Professional Sports Authentication is actually a pretty good idea. I had a Showdowless Charizard waay back in primary school, as well as a few holo's and st editions. It was easier to come by and cheap. Cant say that i regret not holding on to them, as they really aren't worth as much as i though. Thank you for elaborating on a subject i thought never to revisit again. Im sure its bitter-sweet for any first-gen peeps out there.
I have those binders with the pockets in them, and I would sort the cards on how I would battle the deck. It was the most organized I ever was with a binder and I'm 22 now
Just for the record, there's actually four different base set card editions, not three. You forgot to mention final print cards.
I bet my box of fake cards from china is worth a fortune.
Great video, I really enjoyed it. I won't be quitting my job and going into the card selling business anytime soon. Thanks
Wow, I had a bunch of those ex cards because i thought they looked cool as a kid and now they're pretty valuable, especially because i had all my cards in sleeves. Thanks for the vid
that means my limited edition pokemon the first movie Pikachu card is worthless! i had it in a sleeve to...T-T
I keep them in a collector's album, and they're in very good condition. Want more tips of making them in good conditions? Ask me. 0w0
I have some old ass cards as well and there like in perfect condition
Good for you Bryan Deaths they're worth lots of money if you keep them in perfect condition if they're 1st edition or not.
Yeah
Counterfeited ones are still worth lots of money
I have 3 counterfeited
this inspired me to find my cards and im so glad i kept them in sleeve protectors. cause i opened the first page and saw 3 holo charizards. and a team rocket dark charizad. all holo.
buying my first edition complete base set was the best move ive made in a long time. So fun to go through them.
You don't have it lol, unless you were a rich 90s kid who bought a box which even back in those days were rare
Wish I would have bought at these prices when this video came out lol
9:58 i got that card! Its in really bad condition tho :/
Great video chief. I've got a shit load of those base set cards in top loader notebooks.
Really good introduction👌🏻
This aged well
This video needs an update
1:00 You ARE Google? Spam Bot:Engaged. Target Identified.
? I don't get it.
+PhoenixFires You realize that is a "less than" sign, not an "equals" sign, right?
***** That's what I thought as well, but he literally said: "I am not as smart as the intire internet" as that screen showed up; my point being that you would to pay no attention in order to make that mistake.
***** Haha exactly my thoughts. Also yeah, I can't believe I forgot that it is spelled "entire". I was just looking at the way I spelled it and thought that something was wrong - I just went with it in the end, you know.
***** Ahh thank you - hope you're having a nice day as well :) I cannot believe how often people on the internet, especially in these YT comment sections, instantly start to critisice others over nothing. I am happy as well to have a civil conversation here for once ^_^
I used to have loads of pokemon cards because my uncle once bought me and my brother huge amounts of them back from japan when he went over on business. We never played the game we just looked at them and put them in one of those folders. I reckon the quality of most of them is pretty good because they hardly got touched. Dunno what edition they were or anything but we were very young when we got them so could be one of the earliest editions. Don't know if we ever had any of the particularly sought after characters though. Still would be interesting to find out where all the cards are and have a look. I remember going to see the pokemon movie and with every ticket you got a free special pokemon card so they might be worth a bit.
I HAVE A RARE PIKACHU THE ORIGINAL FAT ONE
Lol
I like the fat one
same
I HAVE A SURFING PIKACHU CARD
a manders cool
Yes my cards are in perfect conditions!!!
All except my ancient mew
aww ancien mew is op
Yea im sad
I have a holo charizard (not first edition) that I bought about 12 years ago for around $50. It's been in a very durable and strong case since then and it's in very good shape, I'm glad to see I can double my money on it.
9:24
JWittz...
I SEE YOU
AND YOU'RE WEARING YOUR AWESOME JWITTZ HAT
my mom threw them away years ago. i didn't want her to take them!
same with me sadly had lots of cards which were worth a lot could have been rich :(
Scott Nelson Awww... that so sad :,(
I have many yu-gi-oh cards if someone is interested tell me
Free?
Fun story...when I was a kid, I had a HUGE binder full of rare and holo pokemon. By fifth grade, I had somehow collected all Shining Pokemon but Charizard, Magikarp, and either Celebi. Not only that, but I had tons of the better Ex pokemon, including Charizard, Wailord, and Typhlosion. Oh, and awesome stuff like Rocket's Moltres Ex. To top that off, I was keeping them in a binder and was pretty careful not to damage the cards, as I did more trading than collecting. The cards were in great condition, for the most part (I know a lot about condition as an avid Yugioh trader, and if my memory serves me, they'd definitely be close to mint).
Absent-minded me one day forgot to take their binder with them after lunch. All 100+ Rare and Holo pokemon gone. I pretty much gave up on Pokemon trading at that point and I never got the binder back. I DID still have my Rocket's Mewtwo Ex, which my friend wrecked, bringing it from decent to horrible condition. That said, I managed to offload it for 35 dollars on Ebay...
The cards I have now though are just a smattering of old rares plus all my commons/uncommons, which have no value, and an insane amount of basic energies, which are also valueless.
my brothers loved pokemon when they were kids
they kept all there cards in multiple binders and cases
they gave me most of their cards
i have a lot of first edition pokemon cards
some even say pocket monsters on them
some old cards i have are pikachu weedle ponyta Japanese sentret
omanyte seaking zubat caterpie psyduck lapras holo grimer light machamp dratini jigglypuff magby seeper cloyster and starmie
My older brother has four cards that seem to be valuable.
-A shiny Moltres in nearly perfect condition that he says he got from going to see the Pokemon movie
-Shiny Meowth that says "PROMO" on it. He says he got it from getting Pokemon Gold on the Game Boy Color
-Shiny Lugia that he got from a random card pack
-shiny "Giovanni's Nidoking"
Are these valuable? They're in near mint condition.
The shiny meowth won't be because it's a promo, same with moltres
Damn it. How come they're not very valuable? What's wrong with promos?
basically promos are easier and more common than pokemon pulled from normal boosters
Well, what about his Nidoking or Lugia?
They might be worth a bit more but not much
I have a second edition Charizard
circlehousePRO k
wow!
You have a Base Set 2 Charizard lol!
AMAZING FACTS & TIPS THX
i still have my 3 1st ed charizards and they in great condition they've been in a top-loader since i was a kid i never played i just collected and i put my faves in top-loaders so i have almost every holos from the base set in top-loaders since i got them. :)
how rare are delta species cards?
+Nathan Lee Not rare
i actually have a Dark Blastoise and it so rare to find.
Eric Vasquez I have Dark Blastoise, Dark Charizard and a Dark Dragonite.
I have a dark wartortle, vaporion, ratticate, gloom and a couple of others
I have Dark Magician
I've got Dark Charizard and Dark Dragonite, but not Dark Blastoise.
Yah I just found out today that my older brother's collection is over 5000$ because of the original cards he accumulated as a child. He kept his cards in a binder and they're in fantastic condition but they have a few nitches here and there. If I wait a few more years his collection will be more than it is now!
Jwittz made me a pokémaster
I made so many friends and became popular because I knew the value of pokemon cards
I have a holographic Electabuzz that says "winner" on it and a "best" stamp, it's in nearly mint condition, is it worth anything good? If not, I also have:
-Holographic Entei promo card
-2 Holographic Gyarados's
-Holographic Snorlax, Muk, Hitmonchan, Pigeot, Brock's Ninetails, and Clefable
-Japanese Mankey, Japanese Ekans
-Mismagius misprint

Alex Roehrich thank you
Yugioh cards are more worth your money
*****
Your brother's a dunce then. Separate sales can rake in more gold.
The most highest yugioh I've seen is 21 dollars
I had the 1st Edition Slypher (I don't remember how to spell it) and sold it for $150
generally TCG's that have actual formats are more worth your money than pokemon's awful format. the pokemon TCG has potential, if it wasn't for the fact that the only supported format is a terrible monthly set rotation one. it's pretty much just a way to prevent power creep.
mariodude89
Magic The Gathering cards are really pricy.
The 1st Edition Machamp is actually quite valuable if you find the "shadowless" ones. I got a PSA 10 graded Machamp that's shadowless :) I'd love to have one without a 1st Edition stamp though.
Im a kid and I use card holders then I put the cards in holders in a binder and the super rare ones I put tape over the binder holder so the ultra rare does not fall out of the page
I had 3 great condition charizards when I was a kid. Stumbled upon my binder recently, 2 of them were gone as well as many of my other cards. I was planning on holding onto my cards forever, but now that my favorites were stolen Im ready to sell them....too bad it doesn't look like I will get too much for them.
I got myself a holographic, first edition Lugia. Thankfully, I was a kid who was obsessed with preserving the quality of my cards! I put that baby into a protective sleeve, put it into a carefully organized binder, and only on rare instances was it ever touched again. I last brought it out a couple of weeks ago and while the sleeve does show its age a bit, the card is in... well, I'm no PSA critic, but let's go low end of the scale at minimum and say it is still in pretty good shape. No warping, no scratches, no frilled edges. I never used it in decks because I was it too difficult to build up to and the discard drawback of using its attack just wasn't worth it.
And there it shall sit for a long time yet. But perhaps I'll go the extra mile and get it PSA preserved. Nobody will want the 10,000 Goldeen that sat in my shoebox, but a first edition Neo Genesis Lugia that is at minimum in pretty good shape? Maybe!
I lost all my cards to the sands of time...and the beach....I'm working on getting a new collection going though so here's hoping I treat these ones better.
About 2 years ago I sold my delta species gold star charizard which was in near mint condition for $500 in trade-in.
It went a long way to my commander brews in mtg.
I have a card that people have paid $400+ for on Ebay (and I haven't checked in quite a while); a Pop 5 Shiny Umbreon. It's in good shape because I got it in college and it has spent most of it's life hidden away in a good binder. (I went through another collection phase in the late 2000s, okay, don't judge me)
Probably not flawless, but still decent. Hanging onto it though cuz Umbreon was my favorite for YEARS, especially the shiny form.
Nice video, I have a few cards that I want to sell (like a Charizard from a base set) and the troll and toad site will really help me :D
What is the old video you were talking about with misprint cards because I can't find it on your channel please leave a link to me.
I just went through whats left of my collection. Got about 60 holos from base sets and fossil/jungle, etc. in *decent* (they've got play wear but aren't bad) condition. Rarest of these being a Base Set Blastoise holo shadowless and a Base Set Venusaur holo shadowless. Both in what I would say near-mint condition. Looking for best place to sell all together..
Oh my gosh I have season 1&2 first edition cards. I might be looking at $3,000+ !!!
Hey JWittz, I'm interested in viewing the artwork of the first set of Pokémon cards that were released in NA, do you know any good sites where I can do that?
I was always taught to take care of my things so naturally my pokemon cards were always treated well. If it shined it went straight into a binder, and they're still in a binder to this day.
I have a mix of English and Japanese cards from the 90's and beginning of the new millennium. They're all pretty mint considering all things. I'll try to sell them when I'm retired if there's a market for them then. The numbers of original cards will only decrease over time.
omg J witzz u used my video for the counterfiting! thank u! I knew
that they were fake!
I agree with everything you're saying. You missed one point I feel is important.
Power creep has made the old Pokemon significantly worse in casual games. If the cards of today were still scaled similarly to the older ones and kept in demand through rotating tournament formats and interesting abilities, the older cards would be more worthwhile.
Everybody always talks about first gen cards when talking about selling price, but I've got mostly third gen cards, including a load of exes, in great condition. Never realised they were worth much, so thanks - suppose it makes sense as those cards are about 10 years old now! (I'll probably never sell them anyway, but it's nice to find out they are worth something)
I've got a ton of newer starter decks. I keep them in the deck boxes they were bought in. And those deck boxes I keep in a bigger box as well. Is this a good option or not?
Oh Holographic Lapras, how i remember you and the great memories we always had. How we dominated the enemy and had such great memories. And I will never forgive Jason, who stole you, and Michael's Holographic Bulbasaur, Daniel's Charizard, and Aaron's Mew. R.I.P Lapras.
Oh trading card album, how I love you!
For the two binders full of Pokemon cards I have, even as I have kept them safe for years, I'm sure those binders aren't very valuable. A lot of the cards are commons, I have a few holos, and I, too, had done what JWittz mentioned when shuffling cards through binders before. Even so, I don't think I'll sell them anyway, as they're valuable to me.
So i have a Lt. Surge theme deck and an Overgrowth theme deck. They haven't been touched for a long time. The surge deck's box is boned but the overgrowth one is kinda good. The cards on the other hand are in pretty good condition, and would like to sell them. How much they worth? (I have done research but it turned up nothing)
+TheJWittz my friend has a card like that not first edition but with cool hollow and shiny edges how much do you think it is worth?
I learned from Shark Tank, the value of something is what people/a person will pay for it. So if on some website, a card is listed at $2, but a person will buy it off of you for $5, then it's worth $5.Also, my brother and I (who wasn't as big a Pokemon fan growing up), bought the basic starter set box back when it came out. We didn't know the boxes had the same cards. We both got the hologram Machamp, which is what every starter set box had, and it was $15 for each box at the time.
when I was around 8, my family friend who was an extreme collector and gave me a ton of old, rare cards.
I think I might have a special one, but on the right side below the image, there is a number 2 with a pokéball on top of it.
I still have all my cards in card holders & never been opened since 2001. I have a legendary new still in its package
I wonder how much my unopened ancient Mew card (from the first movie) is worth. Even as a kid, I always tried my best to keep them preserved. And to this day, all of my cards are in binders. Some holos with card holders too.
The trainer picture at the end of the video has the same smile as Godot from Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations!!!
i have a complete base set in very good condition if not better, that have never been played, just collected. and near complete fossil, jungle, rocket, and gym sets, I haven't collected in years, and I never kept dupes i used those to trade towards more packs, back in the day, that is how i even completed the base set lol, since its not graded, still would be nice to know the value one of these days.... one day it may happen.
I found a bunch of unopened first edition packs that were put in my attic in a shoebox. Wow :)
god nowadays I wish I could get a psa 9 blastoise for $100-200. Now I have a hard time finding a regular ungraded shadowless blastoise for around that price in good shape. the market has definitely changed since this video.
I have pages of old cards that are in awesome condition. I'll just keep them till I'm old
i had a prerelease raichu... it went years ago... so gutted
I had purchased two grass packs, the little ones that hold fifteen cards, and got shiny keldeo and suicune!
I have a box like that and I am 9.And pokemon is awesome.
this is crazy I have a few OLD ASS CHARIZARDS from when I was a kid and blastoise..
Can I have one pls? Lol
Hey so I have the full ho oh and lugia legend cards so since I guess their still legal should I sell them?
