I never knew how the card game was played, I just thought the cards looked cool as a child.

A guy posted on Reddit that he has a rare Charizard. He volunteered at a kids day camp and he mentioned the card to the kids. They asked to just see it so he brought it in. One of the kid’s mother contacted him and tried to buy it for $200 (she found a much less rare printing of the same character) and got mad when he said no and that it was actually worth like 4 or 5 grand. She tried to threaten him with getting him fired and saying it was weird that a man would want to be around kids when her empty threats failed.

The way Pokemon fans embrace these franchises is nut tbh. Either way, I love Pokemon and it's doing well these years.

Pokemon cards are the best. We will always support this channel no matter what happens.

That gold star means the Pokemon is shiny. It's similar in the games, with a pink star being shown on the stats screen for any shiny.

As one who’s been playing this TCG since the first set over 25 years ago, I can confirm some of the ridiculous prices these cards for!
Still love this card game…. 😅

My rarest card is a black star promo Eevee. It's only worth ~$10 USD. Holds a spot in my heart though, since it was a promo card I got from a friend a long, long, LONG time ago at a Toys R' Us tournament that her mother helped run. I also have a first edition Japanese Misty's Tears, though that's probably worthless too. I regret selling my 1st Edition Charizards from the very first set. I had like five of them as a kid. Wish I could go back in time and steal them from myself the moment I opened those boosters. I had that Kangaskhan card too; bought it from some shop stall in a defunct mall decades ago. I just thought it was cool looking, and it only cost like $5 to buy it. That guy selling the cards had all sorts of Japanese cards in those plastic card holders, including the silly cards like Imakuni?'s Doduo.

If only I had the foresight as a kid back then to keep all these cards for just a little bit longer... If only misprinted Yugioh cards were this valuable. I have a Red-Eyes Black Dragon card with the foil bits offset by a few millimeters to the top left, and one of those guardian sphinx cards from the first movie where the top of the card itself was crushed by the sealing process when they made the packs that held the cards. Oh well.

I own a rainbow Charizard GX, two Umbreon VMaxes, and a 1st edition Lugia (found the last one from a flea market).

[justapeacefulmanwhosbornin]

Wow, thank you for showing us these expensive, rarest Pokemon cards…

First Edition Shadowless Base Set Charizard was sold for slightly over 500k

WatchMojo finally, I've been waiting for this video

I used to have a Japanese Neo Genesis Lugia when I was younger but traded it for a base set 2 Blastoise. Pretty sure the Lugia wasn’t 1st ed.

[kingjaries]

I myself pulled an alternative art Umbreon a couple of months ago with my first pack coming back after many years. It wasn't until my friend told me the price I was shocked! Anyhow, we recently sent it in to get graded

[anthonysotherland]

Iv still got all my original 151 1st gen cards. I know they are worth a fortune now but the memories are worth more and my wife agrees. We aren't hard on money and have a great life so we are going to pass them down to our kids while we keep building our collection. We have easily probably 100s of thousands of cards from the years of us collecting and just having fun opening them together. We will never sell them as long as we are alive.

MrBeast: Today we are going to collect all of 150 Pokemon cards of Kanto. Not just any version of the card. The most expensive version.
