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

I've looked through eBay's sold listings of Black Kyurem EX (Black Ballista) for a few weeks now, and it's been going for around $25-30 from what I can gather. Can anyone confirm this? Also, if I do end up deciding to sell it, what would you all guess as far as its value increasing or decreasing?

That looks accurate. Playable cards generally decrease in value over time. Of course, it is possible that the card becomes even more powerful with the release of new cards. It could go either way. I would expect it to slowly decline over the next few English releases since new decks are are always cropping up.
 
Well complete sets from base to Neo Discovery are more affordable but complete ex sets with secret rares are still very expensive. I think its more like the Holiday seasons has people more worries about other gifts than cards. I had a lot of folks watch my Skyridge packs but no one bought... probably cause they need the cash for holiday TV sales or something. :S
 
Forgive me if this has already been asked, as I haven't read this thread in a while, but how much is a complete Radiant Collection (the subset to LT) in Mint condition worth?

Any more opinions on if I should sell or hold onto Black Kyurem EX (PLS) before I list it on eBay for $35?

That depends, are you planing on building a Blastoise/Keldeo deck? If so, hold onto it. If not then sell it.

Nope. ^~^ So sell?
 
I actually just heard about the banning of the original print of that card. Is it the banned one or the "censored" one?

Yep.

On a on topic note, how much is a PSA 9 Japanese Sabrina's Gaze worth?

I would say around $40 but that is a guess. I've sold two PSA 10s at $75 and $100 respectively and both prices seemed high to me.

It's the "banned" one.

Soulwind, do you remember how long ago you sold them?
 
I cannot believe this. I just pulled a Gold Zekrom from one Legendary Treasures pack. My question is, will its value appreciate as time goes on?

Prices are what he values the cards

I ended up passing. Just too many cards with some type of damage and not every collector wants a card with damage.
