i would always Check Ebay! If you have a certain card you think is worth alot look it up!

My issue with that is I have a substantial amount of cards, and very little knowledge of decks/cards/series/whatever so I feel like I would be picking random things of no value while there may be a few in there worth shipping and paying fees to sell. I'll do my best to research card values but any immediate solution would help me tremendously.

It's been a while but there was a website I used to go on for YuGiOh and Magic where you could individually buy and sell cards, it has all the TCG games including Pokmon. Ebay is a hassle due to fees and shit.

Alright, although I don't collect Pokemon cards, I do collect other things and know some information which can be useful.

1. Stay away from eBay to find values, use it to sell. I say this because let's say you have a card valued at $5, there's nothing stopping people on eBay from asking $65 for the same card. Instead use a site like [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . Sites like this keep a record of what cards have sold for, and what they are currently selling for, from merchants all across the internet.

2. Understand how to grade cards, there are plenty of tutorials on how to do this on YouTube, and there is plenty of information online. Knowing a cards condition can add or diminish the value. If you've kept your cards in sleeves, or card sheets inside of a binder like most people did back in the day, you should be fine.

You can also get a card professionally graded if you happen to have one worth a bit, although, since you said you're in a bit of a finical bind, I wouldn't worry.

If you do choose to have a card professionally graded, keep in mind it's obviously not free, I'd recommend a company such as [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

Do you have a comic or card shop in your area? You can always give them a call and see if they'd be interested in helping you out, or even buying the collection completely.

Good luck.

Selling even the smallest things for that rent money I see....

I looked up some shops in my area that deal with collectibles and cards, I'm going to call them up and see if I can bring the binder in to see if they are willing to take some cards off of my hands. I'll be sure to use pokeprices to make sure I'm not being robbed blind due to the lack of knowledge on my part. Thank you for all of this, hopefully I'll strike gold on one or two of the cards.

Excellent feedback man, I was about to say instantly avoid eBay. I used to collect Yu Gi Oh cards back in the day, some cards could sell up to $3,000 (although I only ever owned 1 rare worth around $500, which I sold for $5 to a friend on my estate) personally, I'd check each card individually (it may be that most of them will have no value whatsoever) I know it may seem like you're wasting your time, but trust me you'll be hating life if you sell a extremely rare card for a stupid amount.

Good luck my man!

Ebay is gonna be your best friend collectors will pick it up fast

On eBay you can filter check Sold Items so I'd just type in what cards you think are most valuable and see what range people have sold on there for
