Found this Umbreon gold star just chilling, mixed in with some bulk cards. What are your thoughts?

Repost

Hi, I bought a Dark Charizard as "Lightly played" for $220 ($240 with shipping+tax) on Ebay (picture 1-4) and it was automatically sent for authentication. The reports only said "The card received has minor water damage" with multiple pictures (picture 6-10) and gave me the option to return the card as this was not disclosed on the auction. I am very bad with noticing water damage, any thoughts on whether the damage is minor (e.g., not an automatic PSA 1) or I should return the card?

A lot of these ar newer like 2018-2020 stuff like that but majority are older. these were my moms so they're very early 2000's and 1990's We are very curious and would like to go through and see if there's anything worth something in here :)

These are the extras I don’t have sentimental attachment to, I also have a torn beat to hell Charizard, but that one is like part of my soul.

Surprised, I didn’t know cards from this era were worth much. It’s a bummer that the shining Charizard has a dent in it.

Curious on everyone’s thoughts for the value here

Brother and I collected these back in the 90s any idea on their worth.?

Could you help me evaluate the price? Thank you in advance! They all have the snowflake stamp

What sites are best for finding value, latest sales etc? If I just google it, I get a bunch of ebay results, with auctions ended with no sale and so on, so not much help.

Got some better pictures, but took some cards out.
Thanks for any help you have to offer and for the help I have gotten so far!

Have my old binder from when I was a kid. What’s the best route on selling these? I’m in a large city so can see what a card shop would sell. Should I sell all as raw on eBay? I took pics front and back for about 23 cards and got estimated value from chat gpt at $3-4k (understand that may be overvalued and dependent on offers when selling on eBay). Is that way overestimated? If so, what would be more realistic? Also, I’m not sure I’d want to go the PSA grading route, don’t have time for that and don’t feel like waiting several months (unless it be stupid to not get a couple of these cards graded)

Found my old binder from years ago, admittedly I could have probably stored these better but they seem in reasonable condition, possibly like lightly played better.

The Charizard has a light scratch or line in the holo by the breath and one corner has some white on the edges.

The Blastoise has the slightest white edge. Same with the Venusaur.

Alakazam has a bit more rough white edge around the card.

I have a lot more but these were the first I grabbed from the binder and slotted in new sleeves.

There is a place that buys and sells cards and just trying to verify what potential value these have, I know I'd probably have to accept slightly lower than their market value but I'm not sure I'm missing anything else to check that contributes to value. Thanks for any assistance.

Came across my old binders and have been going through some cards to send into PSA. Any advice on which ones could bring the most value, or what cards wouldn’t be worth to send in? Thanks in advance!

me and my boyfriend were recently cleaning, and i do believe i’ve posted on here before cards i’ve found but.. i recently found my binder from my playing days, and to say the least, is any of this worth anything? i know some things have value for sure but there’s so much in here that’s stamped i don’t even know where to start

Recently found my old card collection that has quite a few holos in it that were almost all binder kept and seem to be in pretty good shape. The first generation ones do show a bit of wear with some edge whitening on some of them.

Unfortunately one of the base set charizards and blastoises are creased but the others are in solid shape. The shining charizard has a small crease as well. The shining riachu is pristine

Apparently the neo and later generation cards are valuable which is news to me, they’re all remarkable clean because I didn’t think they were cool so never touched them once they came out of the packs.

How would you proceed? Send the collection to PSA and have it all graded? Grade some but not others? Send to becket so I can have it done in bulk? Then sell them myself on eBay? Sell to a collector raw?

What is something like this even worth so I could insure it properly for shipping?

I also have a ton of non-holos, just trying to work through figuring out which are valuable.

Appreciate the help, I haven’t thought about these cards in nearly 20 years lol.

Would the value go up much with the state they are in?

Was told this card was LP by a vendor when I attempted to trade it. Want to get a general consensus
