    Wow… back around ‘00 I had an extra 17” monitor (big deal back then) & a couple sticks of RAM (I think 64 or 128MB total); well, a friend tried to trade me something like $40 + a shoebox FULL of Pokémon cards, including 2 Charizard (I don’t know the specifics but the one everyone was always hyped about)…
    Being the smart, young entrepreneur I was, I took a hard pass on his proposition, since Pokémon was a stupid kids’ show, whereas I was a sophisticated middle-schooler & hardcore DBZ fan collecting DBZ ‘anti-mayhem’ cards! I think I eventually sold my used computer stuff for $100 or so.
    Still stings to wonder what I passed on. Almost as much as passing up ~$33 Bitcoin around 2012-2013 believing it to be a small internet novelty, and my skepticism reinforced mid-2013 when hearing price had dropped from $150+ down to $60-70. Bullet dodged! Little did I know considering my passing on & forgetting about BTC was dodging a financial bullet, basically equates to me trying to ‘duck & cover’ to stop a financial atom bomb!
    Yeah, so anyone looking for a proven track record of solid financial/investment advice, I’m willing to share my financial moves & investment opinions (which over ~2 decades have proven to be about 180° from the profitable decision)!

    Definitely don’t recommend grading especially given how damaged those are

    Didn't think those ancient mews were going for much anymore. Remember when you could get them pretty dirt cheap, with even some sellers giving them away as extras if you bought enough from them XD

      know a guy who had a sealed box of those (400 copies per box) and wanted 5$ a piece. which was a fair but not amazing price when I spoke to him. now I kinda regret not buying the whole thing 🤣

    Dude you have quite a few shadowless cards. That ninetales for sure and I think 2 gyarados!!

    Unfortunately, the only real way to make a profit off of Pokémon cards is having PSA 9-10 graded holographics, or downright factory sealed booster packs from gen 1-3. Everything else is pennies and nickels. People are dumb for thinking this could make you money. You’re better off collecting Coca-Cola cans in your local neighborhood than buying someone’s wrinkled cards.

    Minus ebay cut, about 200$ profit, still not bad. But the time to send out each card alone.

    Bro you should do a mystery pack where you sell, say, 10 cards, and put 1 that's decent. Will profit and get rid of crap cards.
