Thanks for the video. Just jumped back into Pokemon after 20+ years. This has helped a lot. I always wondered how other hobbyists or collectors priced each card when they opened the pack.
No problem! Honestly, there's no better time then now! So many awesome cards, and sets! I'd recommend buying some crown zenith, you can still readily find it available, and it not only has amazing pull rates, but also beautiful cards!
@@Witkomon I got this pack and all the cards have three knives on it. What makes it even more sketchy is that three of them are 200hp plus and two are 320hp and I got it for 75 cents. I’m pretty sure they are fake can you confirm?
Hmm, yeah unfortunately I'd say that sounds about 99 percent fake. Never heard of a Pokemon card like that, and the HP is usually a dead giveaway. Pretty safe to assume that they are fake, but if you'd like you can DM me a pic on Instagram and I can confirm!
@@Witkomon I don’t use insta, but I found out it was fake I took a risk and ripped the least expensive card and it was fake it was made from a different material and no black crease in the middle of the card.
Gosh, my 7 year old daughter recently started collecting Pokemon because everyone in her class is doing so, and here I am, hooked on it too, although 2 months ago, I didn't know ANYTHING about this thing.
lol, I’ll admit, it can be addicting! The new Scarlet and Violet EX cards that just got announced for 2023 look amazing too, I hope they don’t tempt me too much! But then again, I hope they do!
This video was informational, to the point, easy to follow and enjoyable. You answered all my questions. Can't wait to check the value of my old binder! Thanks so much.
Or when you throw away all your cards, because you're clearing out your childhood toys from your parent's house, before this Pokemon card craze ever happened 🤦🤦🤦🤦
I was checking the values of my Pokémon cards in my binder…and I found a lot of rares, and even more valuable ones! This video was easy for listening, and helped me slot with values!
Im now 18 and When i was younger i bought a lot of Pokémon packs just for fun, i didnt know they had any value. A year ago I was like ‘i wonder If i still have those cards’. Then my mom told me she threw them all away 😢 That made me kinda sad since it was part of my childhood and it was a really big collection.
@@vharr3257 I've never sold a Pokemon card(yet). I just sell stuff in general. This video will help me know what collectors are looking for. I provide a service for collectors. There's an item you want but can't find, I locate it, and I get it in your hands.
Just because you re-sell cards doesn't mean you take the joy out of it, or that you aren't a fan. Far from it, really. You keep the hobby alive. There's a big difference between re-sellers and scalpers. Scalpers are terrible and definitely do take a lot of the joy away from the real fans. Most of them are just in it for the money. But re-sellers, there's nothing wrong with that!
You might find this video helpful then, if you want to sell cards: ruclips.net/video/3XWdNgQxzMU/видео.html This one is targeted more for actual sellers, and will help you value any cards. Hope it helps!
For it being your very first video you did great man!! I subbed mid video just because I loved the structure and the attention to detail you made in making this video so entertaining and informative to watch. Keep up the good work!!
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind comment, and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video so much! I think I might spend a little bit too much time on the finer details, especially when most people probably don't care/notice, but it makes it all worth it when people like you do notice it! Thanks so much!
I am trying to be a collector like my friends, but I always have to ask them if my cards are worth anything. But now that I saw this video I don’t need help from them anymore. Tysm Witkomon.
once in my old school i found a zacian on the ground people were fighting for it and then without them looking i took it lol edit: its a legendary card somebody gave me a fake zamazenta for one of my legendaries the sides where taped together and they taped it so much it felt real until i tried breakage
0:06 I have that same charizard, and it has a star on the bottom...my friend had the charizard with red hp, although i could never trade for it...how much is my charizard worth? and i also have a rainbow blastoise which i havent checked for details except condition, it must be worth alot though. and i also checked majority of my EX cards and have most a gold star
No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have another video actually, this one is more focused on selling. Maybe this will help! ruclips.net/video/3XWdNgQxzMU/видео.html
No problem! Good luck, make a lot of money off those pokemon cards!! (Or don't, and just keep them to look at, with the knowledge that they are valuable in the back of your head haha)
@@Witkomon I have a question: what should I do with the TCG Online code cards? I have 52 of them and never used them. I also have this Vstar card and a small, golden-like Pikachu card that I don’t know what to do with.
Well, the purpose of the code cards is to receem them online, so you could do that! Honesty, I don't think many people care for the online game that much though, so I prefer just using them for art! They are the exact size of real pokemon cards, so you can store them somewhere and save them for something.
Great video, I didn't know about anything you've mentioned. I just started collecting cards (Brilliant Stars), and even though ultra rares are 1/7 booster packs, I opened about 11 and I got 5 ultra rares, I guess I'm pretty lucky. I'm still on a loss, opening boosters is definitely not an investment but I love it.
That’s awesome! Glad I could help! I haven’t actually opened any brilliant stars yet myself, but it looks like an awesome set! There are some cool cards if you are lucky enough to pull them (and yes, you seem like a really lucky person!) You’re definitely right about the investment part though. It’s hard, but for that reason I try not to care TOO much about the value of the cards. It’s more fun before you realize that you are almost always going to loose money opening stuff haha! But, of course, it’s always exciting when you pull something super valuable!
@@Witkomon For sure, I actually looked up the value of each card and calculated if I could break even in a best case scenario in which I got no duplicates, and you definitely can't, I still went for it though because it seemed really fun, and it really is.
Thanks so much for this vid dude. I always been curious about how rare my cards are. I never knew how many ultra rares I had and that I had 5 secrets. Amazing vid.
When I saw this video, I just remembered had a binder of Pokémon cards from when me and my sister would by a pack every time I visited, and we’d open them together. From the looks of it, I have a few rare here and there, and 4 promo cards as well. The only extreme one I could really assume I have, is a 112/111 Pikachu card. It’s got a sparkly background behind him, and the little star symbol is gold. ...that’s so cool. ;; This video was very helpful, ty!!
Wow what a nice find! That sounds like a very nice little tradition, I'm sure your sister must have looked forward to your visits so much because of it!
For anybody who needs help identifying a card or finding it's value, my Instagram DMs @witkomon are open! *Update:* With the release of the latest Scarlet and Violet set, a brand new rarity system has been introduced! While this video is still relevant, you may see additional symbols now (only in the newest cards), such as a double white star, or a triple gold star.

How to Find if Your Pokémon Cards Are RARE or EXPENSIVE! ruclips.net/video/Z7MKIKPMu44/видео.html
Hm it could be some kind of special promo card. Look up the name of the card and any numbers you see on the bottom (where the set numbers should be). Usually in the eBay description it'll say what the card is.
Thanks for the video. I just found out I casually had a secret rare that I thought was just a holo and it's worth a good amount specially when graded. Thanks
Wow! I dont know much sbout pokemon cards and Im still a beginner collecter after all these years. I checked the prices of my ultra rares and to my surprise I found out that I owned a card worth around 100 dollars (lusamine trainer card ultra prism) that I pulled fairly recently. Wouldnt have found out without your vid, thanks a lot!
Wow, that's a really nice card! Indeed, I know it, that's a valuable one! You got super lucky, not an easy card to pull! I'm glad I could help though :D
I have 1st Edition cards of Slowpoke (It’s in a different language as Ramoloss), Ampharos, Meowth, and Rattata. I also have an Ancient Mew card if, that’s worth anything (But it’s worth mentioning). My promo cards are of Flareon, Glaceon, and Blastoise V. The only secret rare card I have at the moment is Flapple VMax 164/163.
Thanks for this video, man! I needed this so much, this is also a nice review. I love your videos :D oh and also, I got alot of stars >:0 I’m into collecting Pokemon GX, VMAX, and V, but I also like collecting shinies. They’re cool.
I talked about this when I mentioned secret rare cards In the video. Basically the second number is number of cards in the set, and the first number is YOUR specific cards number In the set. So in your case, there are 215 cards in the set (ultra prism is an example of a set), and your card is number 100. This has nothing to do with rarity, unless your card is a secret rare in which it might look like 217/215
When I was in primary school people were trading cards and we thought that any ex is worth another ex so I got a secret rare for giving a normal alakazam ex
Thank you for your video. I'm trying to collect cards for my grandson and with what I learned today makes things easier. I've run across more cards with stars, black,silver and gold. What's the significance of the star and diamond color. I'm hooked now I've got to go back and open up more tins and packs.
I found a trainer card I had back in 2017. It was one of those full art Lillie cards. It was in Japanese, and they’re selling for around 2500 dollars. My mind was blown, it’s crazy.
LOL! I know right! As much as I'm a fan of Lillie, there's NO WAY I could every justify keeping a card worth anywhere near $2,500! Let alone buying it, haha!
It's easy to find good cards at dollar trees. I won't tell the way because I'm not gonna ruin it for myself. But I always get really rare cards from every pack.
I remember the time My friends (boys) were playing outside our classroom and got into a real fight because my other classmate ripped My classmate's rarest card that made them go tot he principal and get detention
Wish I knew when I was a kid that I had rare/valuable cards before I treated them like shit. Now I have a bunch would-be expensive cards that are bent up
Dude- Pokémon used to be INSANE when I was in 2nd grade.. people on the bus you’d dig in their bags pulling out one HUMONGUS card that would be bigger than a backpack-
LOL! I remember those good ol' days! When I was in grade 2 diamond and pearl was the current set, so I remember kids flexing with their binders full of Lvl. X cards!
My wife, 3 boys and I are getting into Pokémon TCG. Super fun to play and it's nice to be able to teach my kids about how to take care of their things at the same time.
That's so nice to hear! I'm jealous! My brother and I used to be very into Pokemon cards, now it's just me, but never were my parents into it at all! To have the whole family collecting, that's certainly going to be some awesome memories for your boys! Pokemon cards can be great for learning, not only in protecting them, but cards also have value. And, very much like stocks, price fluctuates! Anyway, if you're just getting into collecting, the rarity system was recently changed, lol! I made an updated video on that actually, maybe this will help: How to Find if Your Pokemon Cards Are RARE or EXPENSIVE! ruclips.net/video/Z7MKIKPMu44/видео.htmlfeature=shared If you just want the information really really quick, I also have a shorts video: ruclips.net/user/shortsTw5mycI71B8?feature=shared ruclips.net/video/Z7MKIKPMu44/видео.html Again, I'm really jealous! Thank you so much for sharing!
Great explanation ive been collecting recently and have been wondering older cards that are a first edition have a first edition stamp in the left corner outside of the picture of the pokemon but can new full art cards / secret rares rainbow rares be seperated by 1st edition and reprints as well ?
Hey! Actually first edition was only part of the earliest sets made by Wizards of the Coast! So that's only sets from the 1990's and maybe early 2000s. There aren't any first edition full art cards and such, since those are very new!
Hey! Just saw this comment here too! So, what you’re looking at is the set number. The first number is the card’s specific number, and the second is the number of cards in the set. So, 172/172, would mean that your card is numbered 172 out of 172. It’s simply the last card in the set, the fact that the numbers are the same, or the number itself, doesn’t mean anything particular.
That’s awesome! You’re right, it can be a little overwhelming at first, but soon it’ll become very easy, don’t worry!! If you want to learn a little more (haha) Pokémon actually introduced a new rarity system recently. Those cards that you mentioned above would have been with the older rarity system (so this video here that you’re watching), but if you buy any of the newest cards, you’ll see some more! All the rarity symbols in this video are still used, so don’t worry all this info you learned is still relevant, but they’ve added a bunch on top of it! If you’re curious, check out this updated video I have here! You can skip to the section on special cards if you’d like just the new info, or watch it from the beginning for a bit of a refresher on what you already know!! How to Find if Your Pokémon Cards Are RARE or EXPENSIVE! ruclips.net/video/Z7MKIKPMu44/видео.html
I have a question. I have 2 of the same cards Charmander 18/147 one has a special print with flames on it, and around the picture is reverse holo, while the other one has only a holo picture??
Yes, so you’re exactly right, one is holographic and the other is a reverse holo. The reverse holo is not worth much, it’s just a standard common card. The holographic one though, is actually from the burning shadows premium collection box. That one is quite a bit more rare, though still nothing crazy. I would say about $10 or so
Well, this wasn't my first video per se, but I definitely tried a lot of things for the first time in this video! This video really set the bar! I'm really glad you enjoyed it though :D
is there a difference with the gold stars or silver stars? i also got a card that has 2 stars on it 🤔 this video was literally extremely helpful i learned actually a lot that i needed to! ❤🙏🔥🔥🔥
Do you recommend holding onto or selling duplicates of the same cards? Like if I have two Cacturne cards without the shiny effect on the whole card and one with the shiny effect on the card for example?
Helped a lot. I just buy packs to have something to open. Really don’t know anything about them. I collect spots cards but when there is nothing I buy packs of these and have just sleeved them all. Now I no what to look for. Thanks
No problem! I’m glad I could help! The rares, and especially the ultra rares, are definitely the ones you want to look out for, and pay special care to in keeping! They can be worth quite a bit!
i have 3 absols, 1 is a different design then the other 2 and has a star, the others have the same design and both a diamond, are both valid? i might have an older version.
Yes! They are simply different absol cards, but all are certainly real! The one with the star is obviously the most rare, as the star means rare, and the diamond means uncommon!
i think i have that florges card, too! thanks for the video, very simple and got straight to the point, very valuable information. i would just trade cards at school and now i want to see how rare are my cards
Thank you for making this video..I don't have any pokemon card's yet but someday and I really needs all the information I need (Sorry my English is bad)
No problem! I'm glad I could help! And, as for your English, it's perfect! You type just like anybody else, I can't tell any difference at all! Literally zero mistakes!
Hi. So I bought a trainer kitt box and it's the lycaneoc and Pikachu so when I check if my card had the black circle but as I saw it there were none so what does that mean.
If you got the cards from a trainer kit, then they have no rarity! All the cards in trainer kits are pre determined, so there’s no rarity associated with them
Ah! That just means that your card is from a theme deck! It doesn't have a rarity symbol because it wasn't pulled from a pack, and was just included in the deck.
Learned a lot. Thanks. I just bought 600 from yard sale. Some still wraped up. Some 2011 up to 2019. Have the little yellow pikachi 35/108 60 horsepower.
That's the promo number. So SM means it's a part of the sun and moon set, and the number afterwards is the number it was in that set. SM067, the 67th promo in the sun and moon set

Hm it could be some kind of special promo card. Look up the name of the card and any numbers you see on the bottom (where the set numbers should be). Usually in the eBay description it'll say what the card is.
Holy shit my friend gave me a card not wanting it and it’s a freaking secret rare!
Your lucky is it a rainbow rare???
@@thomasisthebestgod5427 of course it is not..if it was he would not have given it to him
Secret rare is a secret rare!
@@Witkomon yes
What card is it and what set ?
Thanks for the video. I just found out I casually had a secret rare that I thought was just a holo and it's worth a good amount specially when graded. Thanks
Wow that’s awesome! I’m glad I could help! Which card is it?
@@Witkomon Dark Raichu 83/82
Nice! That’s a really cool card!
Wow! I dont know much sbout pokemon cards and Im still a beginner collecter after all these years. I checked the prices of my ultra rares and to my surprise I found out that I owned a card worth around 100 dollars (lusamine trainer card ultra prism) that I pulled fairly recently. Wouldnt have found out without your vid, thanks a lot!
Wow, that's a really nice card! Indeed, I know it, that's a valuable one! You got super lucky, not an easy card to pull! I'm glad I could help though :D
I have 1st Edition cards of Slowpoke (It’s in a different language as Ramoloss), Ampharos, Meowth, and Rattata. I also have an Ancient Mew card if, that’s worth anything (But it’s worth mentioning). My promo cards are of Flareon, Glaceon, and Blastoise V. The only secret rare card I have at the moment is Flapple VMax 164/163.
Thanks for this video, man! I needed this so much, this is also a nice review. I love your videos :D oh and also, I got alot of stars >:0 I’m into collecting Pokemon GX, VMAX, and V, but I also like collecting shinies. They’re cool.
That’s awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
You forgot about the shining cards, that have 3 stars ..
So far, the best summary of rarities I found. Good job!
A little late here, but thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
How many of you guys saw the very first, and original video? Curious what your reaction was :)
Nice! Glad I could help :)
@@Witkomon hi nice video but i was wonder what is the for example 100/215 and the bottem does that stand for how many cards were printed
I talked about this when I mentioned secret rare cards In the video. Basically the second number is number of cards in the set, and the first number is YOUR specific cards number In the set. So in your case, there are 215 cards in the set (ultra prism is an example of a set), and your card is number 100. This has nothing to do with rarity, unless your card is a secret rare in which it might look like 217/215
@@Witkomon ok thanks
I just realised I have a secret rare
When I was in primary school people were trading cards and we thought that any ex is worth another ex so I got a secret rare for giving a normal alakazam ex
That's awesome 😂 Good for you!
Thank you for your video. I'm trying to collect cards for my grandson and with what I learned today makes things easier. I've run across more cards with stars, black,silver and gold. What's the significance of the star and diamond color. I'm hooked now I've got to go back and open up more tins and packs.
Thank you. I always wondered how you could identify the rarity of the cards and their values.
Glad I could help!
I found a trainer card I had back in 2017.
It was one of those full art Lillie cards. It was in Japanese, and they’re selling for around 2500 dollars. My mind was blown, it’s crazy.
sell it
@@sparkingskel I did, bought a PC with it lol
@@truulyy1 that’s cool
@@truulyy1 i find it crazy that nintendo managed to make series of cool looking cardboard worth as much as godamn PCs 💀 nice job
LOL! I know right! As much as I'm a fan of Lillie, there's NO WAY I could every justify keeping a card worth anywhere near $2,500! Let alone buying it, haha!
I got a ex from dollar tree
@@RojaAndAsh i have so many of them
W
It's easy to find good cards at dollar trees. I won't tell the way because I'm not gonna ruin it for myself. But I always get really rare cards from every pack.
@@notsafef0rlife please tell me
@@notsafef0rlife wait does dollar tree sell Pokémon cards??
What sleeves and what type of sleeve are you using with the ultra rares in this video please?
There’s no circle, diamond, or star on McDonald’s Pokémon cards
That's what I wanted to figure out too
It's a McDonalds promo, one of the few exceptions.
@@Witkomon i got meowth 11/12 from McDonald's 2016, how much it worth?
My only question is how much is the whole evolution of dratini to stage one which is dragonair and then stage 2 dragonite how much is all of those?
@@Witkomon i got pikachu whith sparkly background and its 25/25
I remember the time My friends (boys) were playing outside our classroom and got into a real fight because my other classmate ripped My classmate's rarest card that made them go tot he principal and get detention
I hope he got what he deserved. More than what he deserved. I hope that card wasn’t more than $50
If someone would have ripped my rare card i would have gone crazy
Wow that's crazy! Poor guy!
@@Witkomon Yep and the most confusing thing is now the two of them are back to being friends, like wtf?
LOL yeah I know how that goes 😂
Me watching this pulling a rainbow rare mewtwo also me: so that's what the star- OMG NO WAY
Oh niceee! Great pull!
Thank u so much for theese videos cus this helped me a lot!
No problem! I'm glad you enjoy them :)
Wish I knew when I was a kid that I had rare/valuable cards before I treated them like shit. Now I have a bunch would-be expensive cards that are bent up
Dude- Pokémon used to be INSANE when I was in 2nd grade.. people on the bus you’d dig in their bags pulling out one HUMONGUS card that would be bigger than a backpack-
LOL! I remember those good ol' days! When I was in grade 2 diamond and pearl was the current set, so I remember kids flexing with their binders full of Lvl. X cards!
I have a Shiny Solgaleo GX but promo. Does it worth a lot?
My wife, 3 boys and I are getting into Pokémon TCG. Super fun to play and it's nice to be able to teach my kids about how to take care of their things at the same time.
That's so nice to hear! I'm jealous! My brother and I used to be very into Pokemon cards, now it's just me, but never were my parents into it at all! To have the whole family collecting, that's certainly going to be some awesome memories for your boys!
Pokemon cards can be great for learning, not only in protecting them, but cards also have value. And, very much like stocks, price fluctuates!
Anyway, if you're just getting into collecting, the rarity system was recently changed, lol! I made an updated video on that actually, maybe this will help:

Again, I'm really jealous! Thank you so much for sharing!
Great explanation ive been collecting recently and have been wondering older cards that are a first edition have a first edition stamp in the left corner outside of the picture of the pokemon but can new full art cards / secret rares rainbow rares be seperated by 1st edition and reprints as well ?
Hey! Actually first edition was only part of the earliest sets made by Wizards of the Coast! So that's only sets from the 1990's and maybe early 2000s. There aren't any first edition full art cards and such, since those are very new!
Thank you for telling me how to see the rarities of the cards so now I know I have 2 promo cards👍🏻
No problem! I'm glad I could help :D
Would if the number at the bottom match like 172/172 with a star or the 1st number is less like TG24/TG30 with a star???
Hey! Just saw this comment here too! So, what you’re looking at is the set number. The first number is the card’s specific number, and the second is the number of cards in the set. So, 172/172, would mean that your card is numbered 172 out of 172. It’s simply the last card in the set, the fact that the numbers are the same, or the number itself, doesn’t mean anything particular.
@@Witkomon okay cool it’s a lot to learn but I’m learning quickly
That’s awesome! You’re right, it can be a little overwhelming at first, but soon it’ll become very easy, don’t worry!!
If you want to learn a little more (haha) Pokémon actually introduced a new rarity system recently. Those cards that you mentioned above would have been with the older rarity system (so this video here that you’re watching), but if you buy any of the newest cards, you’ll see some more! All the rarity symbols in this video are still used, so don’t worry all this info you learned is still relevant, but they’ve added a bunch on top of it!
If you’re curious, check out this updated video I have here! You can skip to the section on special cards if you’d like just the new info, or watch it from the beginning for a bit of a refresher on what you already know!!

Out of everyone doing this you actualy helped, thanks.
Ty for explaining! This helps a lot I just started collecting! And I subscribed :3
Thank you so much, and no problem! I'm glad I could help :D
Dude thank you so much for the tutorial and some explanations
No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed it :D
@@Witkomon ye
Omg you just helped me out so much I literally just realised I had a secret rare trainer gold card.
That's awesome! I'm glad I could help!
This is very helpful thank you so much for giving this information
No problem at all! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
ive just watched this vid, i traded a few pokemon card for really rare ones, This made me happy so im willing to get some more! ty
No problem! I'm glad I could help!!
I have a question. I have 2 of the same cards Charmander 18/147 one has a special print with flames on it, and around the picture is reverse holo, while the other one has only a holo picture??
Yes, so you’re exactly right, one is holographic and the other is a reverse holo. The reverse holo is not worth much, it’s just a standard common card. The holographic one though, is actually from the burning shadows premium collection box. That one is quite a bit more rare, though still nothing crazy. I would say about $10 or so
hey what does a black star at the bottom mean?I have cards ex,mega cards with silver as well but also black stars.
Black star is also rare!
I'm glad u made this because I didn't know what the shapes meant!
No problem! I’m glad I could help!
if that was your first video you did a great job man... Thank you
Well, this wasn't my first video per se, but I definitely tried a lot of things for the first time in this video! This video really set the bar!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it though :D
Super straight forward and helpful thanks !
No problem! I’m glad you liked it!
is there a difference with the gold stars or silver stars? i also got a card that has 2 stars on it 🤔 this video was literally extremely helpful i learned actually a lot that i needed to! ❤🙏🔥🔥🔥
If this is your first video, dude, I can only imagine what is going to follow! Well done!
Thank you :) although, this definitely isn’t my first!
This helped me learn everything else I needed to know and now I found out I gave 2 ultra rare cards
Rayquaza EX and Meloetta EX
That's awesome! I'm really glad I was able to help!
Do you recommend holding onto or selling duplicates of the same cards? Like if I have two Cacturne cards without the shiny effect on the whole card and one with the shiny effect on the card for example?
Hmm well it's up to you! Typically duplicates are nice to trade, or even sell, because you'll still have another copy afterwards!
Helped a lot. I just buy packs to have something to open. Really don’t know anything about them. I collect spots cards but when there is nothing I buy packs of these and have just sleeved them all. Now I no what to look for. Thanks
No problem! I’m glad I could help! The rares, and especially the ultra rares, are definitely the ones you want to look out for, and pay special care to in keeping! They can be worth quite a bit!
ty for telling all of us what pokemon cards are rare and all that i needed it
also
Glad I could help :)
I love this video! Keep up the good work "Pokemon Champion"!😁
Thank you :)
My sun and moon tin cards does not have any symbol
This was very helpful, thank you!
No problem!
Shame
@Arbor P In what way?
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
What does it mean if the Pokémon card has a white star or white circle or white diamond
Star = Rare, circle = common, and diamond = uncommon
What dose the plus means in Pokémon and the x mean for damage
Thanks for this! Very good and clear explanation!
No problem! I’m really glad you enjoyed it :D
dude thanks you so much for all of this help now i can know any card value tysm!
No problem! Im so glad you enjoyed it :)
This helped me alot but one question how worth is a Electrode 2016 #40
If I’m looking at the correct card, that’s electrode 40/108 right? It’s just a regular rare, so not worth too much unfortunately. I would say about $5
Thank you I have a lot of Pokémon cards I needed this
No problem! Glad I could help :D
i have 3 absols, 1 is a different design then the other 2 and has a star, the others have the same design and both a diamond, are both valid? i might have an older version.
Yes! They are simply different absol cards, but all are certainly real! The one with the star is obviously the most rare, as the star means rare, and the diamond means uncommon!
I have a 2014 Mega charizard Y card that is one number above the set amount. How much would that be worth?
i think i have that florges card, too! thanks for the video, very simple and got straight to the point, very valuable information. i would just trade cards at school and now i want to see how rare are my cards
No problem, and thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
turns out i most likely traded the florges card, but still! found i have a decently rare pikachu card, very happy
Ah, that's too bad! The Florges card isn't very valuable, but it looks really nice! Pikachu is even better though!
Thank you for making this video..I don't have any pokemon card's yet but someday and I really needs all the information I need
(Sorry my English is bad)
No problem! I'm glad I could help! And, as for your English, it's perfect! You type just like anybody else, I can't tell any difference at all! Literally zero mistakes!
Hi. So I bought a trainer kitt box and it's the lycaneoc and Pikachu so when I check if my card had the black circle but as I saw it there were none so what does that mean.
If you got the cards from a trainer kit, then they have no rarity! All the cards in trainer kits are pre determined, so there’s no rarity associated with them
Very informative video, thank you!
No problem! I'm glad you found it helpful :)
4 cards of my collection doesn't have a star or yk in the bottom, it has only a raichu symbol. What does it mean?
Ah! That just means that your card is from a theme deck! It doesn't have a rarity symbol because it wasn't pulled from a pack, and was just included in the deck.
@@Witkomon Ah, thanks
No problem!
Learned a lot. Thanks. I just bought 600 from yard sale. Some still wraped up. Some 2011 up to 2019. Have the little yellow pikachi 35/108 60 horsepower.
Glad I could help! That's a nice haul!
@@Witkomon All for just 6 dollars. Was looking for baseball cards.
@@waltercopus1485 If u still need baseball cards i have 1988 full set
How much money is a zekrom and pikachu tag team worth if its rainbow when u shine a light on it
@Witkomon I have some cards that say promo or they say like SM and then there’s a number what does that mean
That's the promo number. So SM means it's a part of the sun and moon set, and the number afterwards is the number it was in that set. SM067, the 67th promo in the sun and moon set
I have a Charizard 136 card, not planning on selling cards any time soon but it's cool to know what they are worth
Oh awesome! Charizard cards are often worth quite a bit!
