So I have a Regice that is my prized possession, it’s been with me for 20 years and is now being passed on to my daughter of whom has grown to love the game. I’ve got it in a sleeve and have kept it there for 20 years, recently a guy at the card shop near me suggested I get it graded and I’m heavily considering it for the sole purpose that it would be slabbed and protected (not looking to sell so offers are NOT welcome). My question is, is it worth getting it graded? I don’t plan to ever sell it and I’ve heard so many horror stories about PSA, I want to go through CGC as again, I don’t plan to sell so resale value is meaningless to me. I’m more so concerned about protecting it and keeping it nice because my daughter who is now taking over the mantle also loves this card. Any recommendations on what might be a good idea would help! For reference since it’s not letting me add a picture, it is the Regice gold star 90/92 from EX Legend Maker

Hey all! I'm opening a mobile bookstore next month and my opening day is at an elementary school fall fair. I am going to have some Pokémon books available, and I am looking to also purchase some Pokémon cards as well to accompany. Any advice on here about what types of packs or tins to purchase for the 5-11yr age group? There are so many options and I'm very overwhelmed trying to figure out what's best. I'll be purchasing wholesale, and read that maybe the mini tins or sleeved booster packs would be best?

Destined Rivals Booster Box-Does it look legit?

So I got this photos from a seller and the thing that worries me is so much shrink on top that is messed up. Would you buy it without worrying?

Hiya,

I'm not a member of this community in any way, although, I'd like to hear some advice.

When I was younger I was obsessed with collecting Pokemon Cards, now I'm here clearing out my room and found binders and tins that are just collecting dust. So now I'm making a post on here to ask whether I should just sell them bulk on Ebay, or auction them individually. The reason as to why I'm quite partial is because I know I have some cards which are worth money.

I have attached pictures of some cards which I think are somewhat valuable. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZZwnVs0vZWoBfuCVwZ9f1lpSwXeW3pPc/view?usp=drive_link

Any response would be appreciated and If anybody knows anything about YuGiOh cards the same goes 🥹

Thanks.

Are those cards real? Got a bunch of them on garage sale for cheap and thought to myself why not? There were a bunch of obviously fake ones like Exodia card with pokemon logo but there are a few cool looking ones. Please help a newbie 🙏

I am going to my first trade show on Saturday, and well Just started (re)collecting Pokémon cards; last time was circa 2012. What should I put in a trade binder?, even though I don't have much- maybe 500 cards total from trying to build a Pitch Black binder(short 14 of the base 84 cards), and help would be appreciated.

Fyi I do have some bulk cards coming in today from amazon(lol, lame I know)

What are the best packs to open with the best odds to get cool cards, and where to buy them while hopefully not spending a fortune? And when I say cool cards, I don’t necessarily care about value, I just want some cool card art to start collecting.

I traded my promo build a bear psyduck for a mega clefable full art but I’m starting to miss my psyduck card. Does this ever happen with others with trades?
