Went to GameStop to pick up a game and came across a guy selling his pokemon cards to GameStop and they wouldn’t take his PSA7 cards so I through out an off and took them off his hands
It’s my kid‘s birthday next week and she loves Pokemon, but has absolutely no idea which cards are valuable, so I’m able to just buy her a bunch of $3 shiny ones that look cool and expensive and it’s as if I brought home the rarest Charizard in existence. Kids are much more pure than us. And thankfully much lighter on the wallet.
One of my favorite Pokemon cards in my collection is this Van Gough Museum special edition Grey Felt Hat Pikachu. It's ungraded, but I got the little package and card on eBay for $100 a couple of years ago, and it has really shot up in value.
