Question

Can I get a card and trade it for two cards, and so on, until I get an expensive set?

Community Answer

It depends on the value of the cards you are giving. In most cases, you'll have to sell a card and use the money to get two cards, depending on how much money you get for the card.

Question

How much is my card worth if it has a Pikachu head in the corner of the illustration?

Community Answer

It depends on the card. Usually, that is a misprint unless that card is supposed to have it there. Research your card, and if that isn't there in any of the pictures of it, then you might have a really rare card that could be more than $100.

Question

What should I do if I'm selling a card in person?

Community Answer

Make sure that the buyer knows all the details and can handle the card to see if it is a fake. Present yourself to be (and actually be) trustworthy so the buyer will want to come back and buy another card. Overall, be as nice and trusting as possible while still making a profit.

Question

How do you sell Pokémon cards without your parents' knowledge?

Community Answer

I would sell them online. All you need is a few envelopes to put your cards into. Just drop them in the mailbox when your parents aren't around.

Question

What is an excellent condition Gumshoos GX Reverse Holographic card worth?

Community Answer

I would personally sell it for around $3-4, as it isn't very useful in the card game, which is the usual reason for why a card costs a lot.

Question

I have first edition charizard in psa mint condition. When I sold it to a guy a couple of weeks ago, he bought it for 2,000 but came back to me and said it was fake but it wasn't. What do I next time?

Blaziken77g

Community Answer

In that situation, refuse the return if it happens again. If the card was graded, it can't be fake. (There are specific labels from psa that identify it as a fake, but Charizards that get graded should not be called fake unless stated on the grading).

Question

How much money does a Rayquazza Pokemon cost?

Stephen Colon

Community Answer

Depending on the condition of the card, it can range from U.S. $5 to $20. You can send your card to get it graded and they will usually tell you the value of the card when they send it back. When buying this card, check to make sure its real and has a cost in between the price range.

Question

How do I know the value of a Pokemon card?

Community Answer

Look for the rarity symbol at the bottom of the card. A circle means common, diamond means uncommon, star means rare, shiny star means ultra rare, etc. If the symbol is a magnifying glass next to lightning, the card is from the Pokemon Detective Pikachu movie.

Question

What do I do if I accidentally sold a fake Pokemon card?

Personally contact the buyer and let them know you accidentally sold them a fake, and show them why it is a fake. Offer to give them their money back.
