OT—Pokemon cards—

[mattsey9]

My 11 year old son and his friends are currently gaga over the Tag Team variants. You should find them on Ebay easily enough.

An unopened box ( and these things are only 15 yrs old or so ) went for some crazy money -$5000-$10000...in a major auction a couple weeks ago

The box possibly contained the " oh so rare" ..Char-a-zard hologram !

My son collects Pokémon also. The $20 boxes at Walmart or Target are a good deal. Lots of kids really like the oversized cards and it's the best way to get them other than getting them off eBay or through another secondary seller. I would also recommend checking your local Dollar Tree. They sell packs of 4 cards for $1 each. The chances of getting a "good" card is actually quite good, we seem to have better luck than paying for the $4 packs. They might be tough to find though because they are so popular. You can see videos on youtube of folks opening 1,000 packs at a time. Very good results though.

Good luck!

$10,000 is nothing. The November Huggins and Scott auction got $61,500 for a box of Pokemon.

We've sold 3 boxes over the past year in the ballpark. Have another coming up in February. It's like a 1986-87 Fleer Basketball box of Pokemon, except with a huge international following.

I imagine the buyer expects to make a profit on the contents ?? What might be in there to justify a 65 K buy-in ?? Are we all in the wrong hobby ??

My daughter still has all her Pokemon cards from the mid 90's. She has several hundred. Is there any value in Pokemon cards from that time period? Is it time for me to start selling her cards?
