Is this a good deal:
My:
160 Plasma Code cards
Their:
Mint Gyarados Gold Star
It's an 'okay' trade.
I agree here. 160 Plasma Codes could be worth up to 80 bucks if you sell to the right person. The problem with star cards is, there is no set price. There are very, very few on the market and not a ton of people wanting to buy them. I saw a Gyarados Star on Ebay for 60$, but the are a few things that are actually going to make me change my mind and say that you made a solid trade.
1. Plasma Codes will go down in price a bit. Early on they were selling solidly for 50 cents, but if your in the market to buy, your going to find sellers willing to go 40 cents or lower because so many people are competing to sell them.
2. Gyarados Star will likely hold its value much longer than the codes will. After the next few sets release, people will likely be willing to trade highly for the new codes, making it decently easy to trade for the Plasma Storm cards on TCGO. Those codes will be worthless as well once PS rotates
3. The biggest thing for me, is you said the card was mint. If it is in Gem Mint condition and not n/m, that can make the price skyrocket. All to often will you find that older cards will sell as n/m online, and for some reason the definition of near mint tends to decrease the older the cards gets. If you have one that is in pretty much perfect condition, I would be happy with it as those get harder and harder to find as the card gets older and older. I would say you made a solid trade if Gold Star cards are your thing and its in mint condition
