Many Pokémon cards, more or less rare, are still sought after by collectors.
Who doesn’t know Pokémon? Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past thirty years, there’s little chance you’re unaware of the existence of one of the largest licenses in the world. Iconic characters such as Pikachu, Charizard and Meowth have accompanied millions of children into adults and continue to impose themselves on the cultural landscape today.
But Pokémon is not just a video game license. Above all, it is a real marketing factory. Among the most collected objects of the license, we find in particular the playing cards! These little pieces of cardboard have become a staple in playgrounds and are also the delight of great collectors. Some of them can even sell for several thousand euros depending on their rarity or their importance in the game.
You certainly know some since, among the most sought-after cards in the world, there are several references that came out when you were younger! Generally speaking, all the first cards released in France (at the end of the 1990s) may be of interest to collectors and can be resold for a variable sum, ranging from around ten euros (for a Pikachu in average condition) to thousands of euros (for a Charizard in perfect condition).
Even fairly recent cards now sell for several hundred euros. Some characters are more popular than others. Do you have a Charizard card? There is already a chance that it will resell easily. The latter shines and has reflective contours? It is then possible that it will be worth several hundred euros!
It also depends on the general condition of your card. A collector will be much less interested if your item has many scratches or has been torn. Be aware, however, that the rarest cards can still sell for several hundred euros even if they are extremely damaged! So a piece of advice: quickly reopen your toy box and have your old collection appraised!
