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

Athena said:
Generally speaking, to a regular person, miscuts usually aren't worth anymore than a properly-cut card and maybe even be worth less. If you find someone who specifically collects miscuts, they may be willing to pay a bit more, but those people are few and far between, and generally they prefer the more extreme miscuts, such as those that have a bit of another card showing.

Quality Control for English language cards has been awful for years (since BW, really) and seems to be continuing to get worse as time goes buy. Miscuts and other production errors are growing increasingly common.

I can tell the QC is going down hill, not only are there more misscuts but the quality of the cuts is going down as well. Like I keep noticing NEAR MISSCUTS.

Think of the cuts on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being you basically have 2 cards in one and 6-7 being the typical misscut with one side extremely small. I keep finding and astounding number of 4-5s. If they were cut half 1cm more to the directions they were going to be misscut in they would easily be misscuts.
 
Exactly how much are the White and Black Kyurem pokemon cards are worth each plus a mega metagross what are there individual prices?

You'll have to let us know which Black Kyurem and White Kyurem cards you mean since there are many of them.

English M Metagross EX seems to be selling on Ebay for about ~US$5-10.

The best way to get prices on recent cards like these is to look at Ebay sold listings.

Without knowing which Articuno card you mean, there's no way to know what the value for it is.

Recent Ebay sold listings place M Rayquaza EX at around US$17~22.
 
Recently, I had traded a few cards in order that I make my Raichu deck (with circuit circle) and noticed a issue with my newly obtained riachu card. It was a Holo Raichu 43/146 card, but on the holo portion of the card, there seems to be "rain droplets" as part of the hologram. I have asked many people in my pokemon league, and it has passed the "light test", it has the black line in the middle of the card, and has no misprinting on the card other than the rain droplets on the card. Can someone confirm if this was a card that was put on a blister or not? Because I think I have something fairly valuable on my hands.Raichu 43:146.JPG

What you see there as raindrops is called a "cosmos holo" print. That was the standard holographic style for most older sets, but in BW base it changed to tinsel, and again in XY base to sheen (which you see on the left).

Among other Pokemon, Raichu is printed with a cosmos holo pattern in one of the four Gym Collector Packs, sold exclusively through Target stores.

So it is indeed a legit card, but sorry to say it is not a misprint. Good eye though!
 
Ok I got another FA lugia AOR and the texturing on it is so off that it's 1/10 of a cenitmeter away from having the texture of another FA on it. My previous misstextures are NOTHING compared to this one.

I'll post pictures when I can, but I'll say this now, it has the entire right border on the card, by which I mean all the texturing that would be on the right side of it + the card beside it is on the right side of this Lugia.
 
Can I post my miss textured FA AOR EXs here? I recently got a lugia EX that I think is worth at least $80 because the texture is so far off of were it's suppossed to be.

I don't see a problem with you posting it, as long as you have a picture where the mistake is visible :)
 
Would like to know what you would pay for a Kyogre Gold Star, a Mew Gold Star and a Pikachu Gold Star all Near Mint condition. I know I could check ebay but the values are kinda volatile there, so I'd like to get an opinion from someone who collects and what they would pay for these if they were looking for them.
 
i have a large collection of old Pokemon cards that i collected years ago here is a few to start DSCF6233.JPG

The uncommons aren't worth much (maybe US$.50 each at most). For old cards, it's primarily the holos that are worth the most. Holo Dark Dragonite has sold between US$1 and US$10 on Ebay recently.
 
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but how can I get hold of Shaymin-EXs on ptcgo? I have a bunch of valuable cards, but I really dont know its value. For instance, could I trade a secret rare mewtwo EX for a single shaymin EX? Is that a reasonable or unreasonable trade, and for who? I really dont know at what level to start offering for shaymin EXs. Perhaps 5 breakthrough packs? 10? 15? please let me know :)

It depends,

First I need to know some things more:

Does it come from XY breakthrough or from somthing different

Can you tell me the version number of the Secret Rare Mewtwo Ex and the Shaymin Ex?

. . .

Or can you send an image of the cards so I can Indentify and compare them.

Like this:

Usage in TCG :

(Economy) Win / Lose :

Is it Worth:
= = = = = = =
and finally,

Advice:

Formula that I use ;)
 
Generally speaking, digital card values compared to each other mostly correspond to the values of their paper counterparts, so you can still use things like eBay sold listings to compare the values of cards. According to those values, the BREAKthough Mewtwo FA SRs are still going for about half the price of a Shaymin-EX.

In terms of actually acquiring a Shaymin-EX, you might have some luck with trading in our PTCGO Trade thread in the Marketplace. :)
