If they’re nice enough to be graded then get them graded, make them more valuable. Have you weighed these? Could be a Charlizard in there.

>>29155292
definitely get them graded, it can skyrocket the price immediately

>>29155402
I haven't weighed them. The packs are in super great shape. Been in a ziploc bag in a box for twenty years, along with some pokemon fossil boosters and Urza's Saga boosters.

>>29155292
sell them and lose your virginity

>>29155673
kek. I'm still glad I bought 'em. Also, PSA or Becketts... Which is better for grading?

>>29155292
Card market is hot right now. Eventually the fad will move on and selling will be more difficult. Best to offload now.

If you dont pull one of the holo starters you've lost your money.
Get the packs graded and sell / hold

>>29155555
Digits say grade em. Make a YouTube vid to take in viewers for an opening.

>>29155292

weigh them and open the 2 heaviest, then get the lot graded

Instead, I bought Nintendo stock, based on Pokemon, and added based on Pokemon Go. (Stock symbol for the Nintendo ADR in the USA: NTDOY) Over the years the stock has done fairly well. Nintendo is in Kyoto, a good city in Japan for intellectual endeavors.

>>29155292
Based and Pokémon pilled

>>29155993
Loose packs are HTS because they can be weighed.

are people actually going to card shops and having tournaments for this shit or are they just collecting?

>>29155292
Get the pack itself graded and sell

>>29155292
Bros
I have hundreds of first gen yu gi oh and pokemans sealed in a box all in protectors in mint condition
When should I sell

>>29155555
Holy based digits. Why did you keep them around for so long? What possesses a kid to do this and not open them immediately?

>>29156592
Not atm, too much covid

>>29155872

All assets are hot lmao, our economy is inflating.

>>29156740
I have a bunch of high end decks starting from base. I used to really enjoy playing. Not sure if I should offload or just keep for nostalgia. Hmm.

>TFW used to be really into pkmn
>Bought all the old cards and put them into binders cuz I was a gentle collector kid
>Went to friend's house one day to show him, he wanted to "trade"
>I didn't know about the little star in the corner
>got most of my good cards and took a copy of all my duplicates
>he ended up trashing the cards

I still have 3 binders of not played cards, are they worth anything? Don't really have a lot of holos anymore.

>>29155292
I haven't looked through this box in years... I always thought these packs might become valuable.

>>29155292

Dude, I'm super into CCGs.

The Pokemon card craze is going to plummet. Get out while you can.

Find the weight of them and see if you have any holos because they have a discernable weight difference. If you do, great, advertise them as such.

Generally, unopened product sells for more than opened product.

I do not think grading packs would do anything for the value, as people want what's inside.

Honestly just check ebay prices and you'd be able to see that individual prices on holos/foils are tanking hard, or are very mismatched. Overall you're going to have a harder time finding people who want to buy SINGLES than you want to find people who want to buy POTENTIAL TO OPEN CHARIZARDS.

tl;dr keep the packs and sell those.

>>29156856
If you offload you're going to be LUCKY to get 75 cents on the dollar for market price.

>>29156732
I lived near a comic book store as a teen. I always had a hunch they would gain value is unopened. They were my first real investment.

>>29155292
Weigh them, then grade the lighter packs. Keep the heavy ones in a safe place.

>>29157005
Congrats you have a few extra bucks. Saving an entire booster box would've seriously netted you thousands.

Besides like Urza's Saga, maybe in 20 more years you'll start seeing other individual packs worth over 100, but that's mainly because of inflation. The only gem in there is Urza's Saga. Hang onto that one.

>>29156519

Is that your binder?

Still got my red pikachu card book at my parents.

Machamp is lame though we all got him with the starter pack.

That mr mime is lit

Good times.

any of this garbage worth bothering with?

>>29157401
I also have a sealed, unopened booster box of M:TG Prophecy. :D

>>29156701
That Logan Paul faggot is doing another 1st edition Base Set opening @ the end of the month so there's also a good chance of a big poomp incoming. You could probably make a killing just selling the raw (ungraded) cards.

>>29156701
Sell pokemon now, hold yugioh for another 2-3 years

>>29157551
I remember saving up all summer from my first job to buy it. It cost about 90 bucks in 2000. I should have waited for Invasion tho...

>>29157547
Yeah if the condition is good.

>>29157543
Yessir. Took a bunch of pics to get them priced out but got nostalgic and now they’re going back in the box lol. Machamp is definitely a little lame but he still fetches a small penny which isn’t bad considering I’ve got like 6
>>29157547
Yes

>>29157375
Are you Jewish?

>>29157978
I don't have much to compare it too. I guess average condition. Just sat in a box for >20 years and didn't do much with them even back in the day. If I were to just sell them as a lot, quick and dirty, how much would you roughly estimate they'd go for?

>>29157551
Motherfucker you sit on that booster box until the end of goddamn time. THAT is a collectable that will truly appreciate in value. Seriously keep it safe, keep it try, never open it, don't be tempted to sell it.

When Magic stops being made the game itself will continue as a legacy of collectibles and UNOPENED SEALED PRODUCT WILL BE INTENSELY RARE.

>>29157547
Maybe the promos, idk look on ebay
they look jank and in played condition
get rid of them if you have no attachment

Seriously though OP nostalgia is nice, but if you're looking for financial advise on those pokemon packs and want the best return, sell the unopened packs. Weigh them out, figure out which ones have guaranteed holos.

>>29155867
Beckett is more brutal with their grading. If they’re in super good condition I’d good with them.

>>29156519
>not first edition
>not shadowless
youre never going to make it

>>29155867
Neither.

The line for getting anything graded right now is super fucking long.

Save your money, save your time, especially for pokemon. This shit will seriously tank in the next year.

If you want to invest in lasting collectible card game shit, look at reserve list Magic the Gathering.

>>29158250
By religion? No. By financial tempterment? Perhaps...

>>29158324
Yeah, I think I'll grade the lightest 3 pokemon boosters. hold the heavy 2 for quick sell... Look upon the glory of the booster box my friend.
