FA Seis EX: 28 (price will rise)
RA Seis EX: 20 (price will rise)
RA Heracross EX: 10 (price will drop)

today i went to another furious fists prerelease, and a pulled a seismitoad ex, and traded that for a lucario ex, and i traded the heracross ex i pulled last time for a mega charizard y ex (non-secret rare) and i was wondering if they were good trades, it would be nice if any of you replied, thanks

Excellent trade, Lucario is more playable and is more valuable.

Well, I don't see Heracross being playable, but it is cheaper than Charizard.

Whether those where "good trades" will vary depending on what you're planning on doing. If you just want to get needs/wants, then you made some good trades. You got 2 cards you were looking for, and helped other people get cards they were looking for.

If you're looking to profit or increase the $ amount you have in cards , that 2nd trade was very good, as you got rid of a $10 card and got a $20-$25 card in return.

The safest way to make sure that it's a good/fair trade is if both traders exchange an equal amount of value (money-wise) in cards, but as long as both parties are happy with what they get, it's a good trade as far as I'm concerned.
 
today, i got a revenant three pack blister, and a gogoat 1 pack blister from walmart (they had the packs early) and i pulled a dragonite ex full art and a fossil researcher full art. and i was wondering how much they are worth, thanks :D

yeah, the guy REALLY wanted heracross ex, and i told him if he was sure he wanted to do the trade, and he said that he did, and someone told u that mega charizard was worth more, but he didn't care
 
RE: Different Radiant Collection Foil Pattern?

i think the packs that have this alternate foil are the ones that were just recently printed
 
[split] Have a Simple Forum Question? Ask Here!

I can't figure out how much my gold reshiram card is worth it is perfect no scratches or folds or rips. So how much is it really worth? My friends say it's a rare card but not too sure. Please tell me if you know.
 
Wait? Is it a gold rim/border or is it one of the full print Pokemon TCG cards that you need 2 cards to complete? If it is the full print ones these are super harder to get and worth a lot of money. They fetch up to $50.00 or more Per card half. If it is a gold border it could be worth even more. Especially at an auction like ebay. These are rare one way or another though.:)

I'm not certain, but I've definitely never heard of a two-half Reshiram Card, and I'm pretty sure no such cards have existed since the LEGEND cards in HGSS. Nor have I heard of a Reshiram card with a gold border, but that I'm not sure of. If I'm wrong, disregard the following.

There are two secret rare cards in the Legendary Treasures set, which are a golden Reshiram and a golden Zekrom. They are individual cards, completely separate, but they are entirely covered in a textured golden color, aside from the text and energy symbols. The Reshiram card goes for ~$15-$20 USD typically.

Here is a scan of the card I'm referring to:

Ok. so that means I have not seen the new gold cards then. I am used to the full picture cards like the secret 2 part cards from the earlier sets as well as the gold border cards from the earlier sets. I am talking about those cards. I have not seen any new cards. Does anyone have a pic so I can see what you guys are talking about because seems to me they would be higher than $20.00 I am probably wrong but usually gold cards go for $50.00 and higher.:)

I edited a scan of the card. The "full picture cards" were the LEGENDs, were never fully gold, and ended with Black and White (the set). As for the gold bordered cards, those would be the shiny secret rares from the Black and White series in general. These include such cards as the shiny reprint Dusknoir from Plasma Blast:

These cards almost never went for more than ~$35 (with some exceptions being shiny Chairzard PLS and secret rare Ultra Ball PLF).

The reason our Golden Reshiram goes for less than you might expect, considering how blingy it is, is that it isn't very popular in competitive play, and it has many alternate prints that some might prefer (the situation with the Zekrom being worse, since it's almost never used in competitive play).
 
Hmm the border on that card looks like a reflective gold border to me. I still cannot believe a card like that would only be worth $20.00 though. You would think that would be worth a whole lot more right?:)
 
I remember pulling a Shiny Hydregion that was a great day, it was only worth £15 at the time but the blister cost me £8. Plus I pulled a holo.
 
Furious Fists Damaged Cards

Hello, new member here!

Just a word of warning, I bought the Mega-Lucario Elite Trainer Box today and about half the packs had cards with creases in them down the middle, see below.

Not that big a deal, but considering the price of these things, one would hope the Pokemon Company International would at least make sure they're in mint condition.

RE: Annoying : Creases in Furious Fists packs

Unfortunately, these sorts of defects can happen when manufacturing the hundreds of thousands of cards that TPCi does. The good news is that, so long has you still have your proof of purchase and haven't been too reckless with handling everything, you should be able to contact their support (which you can do via their website here) and potentially get a partial or full refund.
 
RE: Annoying : Creases in Furious Fists packs

id say keep them could be worth $ decades from now just like how US Coins with Mint Defects are worth good $ :)

For Example Quarters from 1940's to 1990's with areas that were pressed down on the edges or ones that somehow struck twice known as Double Dye coins.

I wouldn't bet on it. The markets are nothing alike. You don't really ever see people paying more for factory defect-ed cards at all; they nearly always prefer cards in generally perfect condition (with the exception being cards with novel or extreme errors, especially those that are not universal, such as pre-release Raichu or mis-stamped Wizards Promos).

Those are Misprints. It was something that went wrong on the part of mint, and because of the rarity they are vaulable also they are already currency so they are worth something. It is like Upside Down stamps being valuable or that prerelease raichu. These are things that hurt the price of a card. Most traders aren't going to want a card with a crease down the middle.
 
How much are the Lucario EX FA and the SR M Lucario from Furious Fists worth? I just bought them both off eBay for $21USD for the SR and $29USD for the FA, just thought I'd see if I got ripped off or not...it seemed to be the cheapest I could see, and the ones on ebay Australia seemed to be quite a bit more

That seems about right. Interested in trading the Sr? Lol ;)
