Collecting "How Much is This Card Worth?" / "Is This a Good Trade?"
- Thread starter Soul
- Start date
Just pulled a UR 1ED Japanese Mega Manectric EX. How much would this sell for, and would people consider trading multiple SRs for a card like this?
Over the last couple months, 2 have sold on Ebay.com, one for US$18.50 and one for US$21, so somewhere around the $20 is probably safe. As far as trading goes, most people try and find a roughly equivalent currency value for trades (regardless of whether the card is a UR or SR or whatever), but of course exact trading details would have to be worked out with your trading partner.
I have a card store that will give me 20 cents trade in for each unused code card for trading card on line. Is that a good deal?
Also, what is a good price to pay for a 2 pound box of random cards - some new some old - I see a lot of them on Goodwill.com?

I have around 40 or so Neo Destiny 1st edition commons/uncommons in near mint-mint condition. However, I don't really collect 1st edition, I want unlimited. A guy offered to trade my 1st edition for unlimited versions and he said that they don't really differ in value. Would that be fair trade? I feel like the 1st edition cards should at least be a bit more valuable..

The 1st Editions are definitely worth more than the unlimited runs, some of them not by much and some of them by a lot. If I were you I would use eBay's sold listings to determine the value of specific cards that you're interested in, then look up the 1st Edition version as well.
Usually 1st edition uncommons and common cards are worth roughly 50c to $1.00 more depending on the card or cards. Reverse holos just a rough estimate might be $2.00 more than the unlimited cards because reverse holos on ANY card is like a rarer version of the original so they will be worth more depending on quality and also how good they look and if thy are still shiny or not. If they are shiny they will be worth a good price.
Is the Card I Pulled a Shining Charizard Misprint?
Hi!
I acquired some Neo Destiny booster packs online from a good seller.
In one of the packs I pulled a shining charizard and I noticed that it's "off" from the other ones I'd ever seen.
It is cut off flame on tail and the holo foil goes beyond borders in top close to "basic Pokémon" also the two sparks that go off its tail flame are double and offset (kind of like a 3D effect.) the holo foil also goes beyond of the black border of charizard itself.
Do you guys think/know if it's misprinted?
Thanks guys.

RE: Is the Card I Pulled a Shining Charizard Misprint?
Well, I just checked mine to make the comparison.
Quick side note: I actually checked all three of my Neo Destiny Shining Charizards, one of which is first edition
But back to the point, as far as I was able to tell the art on yours matches the art on mine. Either all three of mine are misprinted as well, or I have no idea what I'm talking about, or none of them are misprinted.

Hi!
The only reason why I was even thinking that it could be a misprint is because of the positioning of the tail flame with the holo foil that's just simply cut-off in the middle of the flame. Also because of the off set sparks. The pictures I saw always had them line up perfectly.

This probably doesn't help, but when I googled the card, the pictures have the tail flames lined up. Your card looks different. However, it looks like the Japanese version of the card has the tail flames looking like yours.

I was opening Call of Legends packs tonight when I noticed 1 of the cards I pulled was Damaged. Almost looks like something spilled on it and it ate away at the card Im thinking from how it smells might be a cleaning solution that somehow spilled on it but didn't damage any of the other cards in the pack.

That's pretty cool, I think there was a error run of flashfire in which some of the cards were ribbed like your primal groudon-EX
I've never seen cards that badly miscut, though wizards of the coast did have a "problem" with accidentaly square-cutting cards rather than rounding the edges.
No. I mean the Ultra Ball alone is $65. The 3 Landorus EX, Life Dew, Dowsing Machine, Colress, and Deck Box come to ~$60 and the rest is pocket change, but since most of those cards are rotating out in September that number is probably too high. I would say the value is closer to $50. (sources: TCGPlayer, eBay)
The trade is definitely weighted against whoever has the Ultra Ball.

So I ordered a bunch of singles off of troll and toad, among them was a Jolteon holo from jungle (4/64) but instead I got this card...
Knowing Troll and toad they always mess up at least one card every order; So I called them saying they gave me a jolteon holo from base set instead of jungle... And they are sending me a free replacment
Looking further into the card it has the right # For the jungle set... Base set is out if 102 i think? Was there even a jolteon holo released in base set? Because this card has no symbol the same as the base set... But the # is from jungle?

That's actually an uncommon error from the Jungle set. Some holos were printed without the set logo, but I can assure you that your Jolteon is from the Jungle set.
Don't forget some of the Electrode cards in that set had no Jungle set logo as well. An old friend of mine had one from his brother and there was no set symbol. Wizards of the Coast did not have as many errors as we see now however.
