Collecting "How Much is This Card Worth?" / "Is This a Good Trade?"

RE: The ''How much is a card worth?'' topic.

You should go for it! My boyfriend and I are 1 card away from having a complete set. :) It's a super fun set to get because it's a big challenge.

Sorry, I made this thread when it was first released, at that time Trollandtoad offered them for around $7. I'll fix that :)
 
RE: How much is a card worth / is this a good trade?

So today I decided to open some Japanese Gym 2 packs. In one of the packs I pulled a "Koga's ninja Trick". Only thing is, I couldn't find the so called "Swastika". After searching online a bit, it turns out they changed the Japanese version too which I thought was pretty interesting.

In terms of worth, I'm sure the error is worth more but shouldn't the corrected version be worth more assuming they changed the Japanese version due to the English change? I'm saying this because I would assume that once Gym Challenge hit North America, Gym 2 would have been probably printed very less since it wasn't that new at that point.

Do you mean the Gym Heroes set? That is the 2nd set in that series. Don't know about the Japanese cards. Usually fixed card are worth less because they fixed the error. The error cards are worth way more since they are no longer printed XD.:)Those sets ae about 10 years old now too XD.:)

No, Gym Heroes came first. There aren't even any cards related to Koga in Gym 1/Gym Heroes.
 
RE: How much is a card worth / is this a good trade?

The "swastika" error card usually sells for more just because of the type of error. I agree with you though. I think the corrected version was printed less so technically should be worth more, especially under the circumstances for why it was changed.

Actually its not a swastika, its a symbol in Buddism, so there wasn't anything wrong with it, but then America is like "awww hell naw" and censored it.

Is reverse holo pokemon catcher worth more than the normal one?

Yeah there is a few cards in those sets that Koga had. I still have Koga's Pigeotto and a few others XD. Just because they are not poison types does not mean they are not related as Flying type Pokemon can learn some poison type moves like Toxic and a few others XD.:)
 
RE: How much is a card worth / is this a good trade?

So, first of all sorry for my extreme lack in knowledge for Pokemon Trading Cards. I got this tin with cards as a present from a friend who knows i like Pokemon. I'm really just into the main series videogames though. But she didn't know that, so anyways. I opened the cards and there were three that looked different, and I know I heard that there are rarer cards and I was wondering if those are some of them or if they are just regular very common cards. I attached the pics here. And seriously I have no clue about the cards so if my question is completely stupid, I'm sorry. lol.

Oh wow, that's some good pulls.

You have Virizion from Emerging Powers, Gengar Prime from whatever set that annoying thing wanted to be in, and Reshiram FA. Reshiram is worth anywhere for 3-8$ depending on the buyers, the Virizion I believe is about $1.50, and Gengar Prime had it's day, when it was worth a lot, but now I think it's only $4.

Thanks for letting me know. It's so confusing to me, all these different decks, I tried to look it up myself and it was talking about holo's and reverse and EX I was so confused lol. Thanks again MrGatr.

Koga's Ditto, Koga's Pidgeotto, et al. were in Gym Challenge, which was the second Gym set. There were no Koga cards in the first Gym set, Gym Heroes, like I said before. In Japan, Gym 1 focused on Brock, Misty, Surge and Erika while Gym 2 focused on Sabrina, Koga, Blaine and Giovanni. This would have been reflected in the English versions, but WOTC didn't like the lack of Psychic and Fire-type cards in Gym 1 and shuffled a few of Blaine and Sabrina's cards into Gym Heroes; they didn't do it for Koga and Giovanni's cards because Erika already provided enough Grass-type cards.

Oh I was confused. I thought you meant Koga had no cards related to him. Sorry XD. I read it wrong XD.:)
