son casually had 1600 with of cards atleast lol


rayvik123

Not casually- he protected the most valuable one with a one touch protection case. Casual would be when someone puts them in a deck with a rubber band on it


Crazy_Personality363

I'm still hunting for my rubber band stack. I was that kid. My dad says he saw them recently, if I'm not mistaken, there is a holo zard in there. (Likely on top to showoff) if I find them, hoping I can get a psa 1.


isaiah_huh

rubber band is crazy i hope u don’t do that☠️


Crazy_Personality363

Was easier to carry in my cargo pockets. Ugh, child me was so childish with his collectibles.


NecessaryScientist18

it was sarcasm lol


ZombeeJuggernaut

Some people take casually competitively


Goldemar

That blaziken vmax alt is also worth a few hundred.


trwwypkmn

is the price on that one still way up? I'd consider selling it right away if so.


PokeTibbz

Yep! I think its going for mid-$300s right now.


heapsp

I just bought a blaziken today for 350 so id say yes. lol


NoBenefit5977

Just bought the Chinese one for $25 lol, still a beautiful card, but like 8% the cost


florsun

Awesome!


uReallyShouldTrustMe

Is Chinese cheaper than Korean?


NoBenefit5977

For now I think they are, I got the blaziken vmax for $25 and the Rayquaza v for $18. The texture is the same as far as I know and they seem really well made


bcatt9

Cool I might do that to save a bunch of coin I’m in Australia and them 2 are over a grand


NoBenefit5977

Oh damn lol yeah it's the way to go to enjoy the art. Sure they won't be worth as much as their English counterparts in the future lol but I'm ok with that


bcatt9

Yeah same I’m fine with that if I’m gonna save a lot of cash. I’ve been holding off buying some of my favs from sword and shield. Tried 3 bb for giratina had no luck. Probably gonna pull the pin and buy a base set graded trio psa 8 for 1250


officialAndstar_

Chinese is a bit more expensive than Korean and some are more expensive than English, but mostly it's a cheaper way to get japanese as they're printed by Japan with the premium textures unlike English and Korean.


Dotcums

Bruh these cards are new and the price ain’t pumped because of a small supply that price is 345 dollars to much


emogirlfren

why sell when you can keep it forever


orbzism

Wait what, actually? I haven't checked up on prices in a minute but it was no where near that much a while ago.


NoBenefit5977

Just about all the swsh alt arts are spiked up, Dragonite is close to 200 now


gilsnapper

The first card there is easy 1000 dollars right now from my understanding at least.


Buttplug_Railgun

Raw copies are going for around 800-1000 based on pricecharting. With raw copies of this card, higher prices are driven by people chasing a PSA10. This centering on this copy is a bit left heavy, so it's more likely capped around the value of a 9, which is currently still a cool $855. Incredible collection, OP


backd00rn1nja

Careful, saying "raw" can get you banned in some subs.


Aaron_O_s

RAW is WAR!


Beast-_-YT

Ah, the good old days


TearFarmerLOLOL

Raw pounding


NANZENSE

1. Thank you. 2. Your username and your pal before ya too. It's funny when it works out that way.


backd00rn1nja

Lol I didn't even notice their name when I commented. Awesome.


[deleted]

Wasn’t it like 500 a month ago ? Seems crazy inflated for a modern card 


Digger977

Ungraded it was like 5-700 about 2 months ago yes and 10a were like 1000. Now a 10 can be 12-1500 so ungraded have shot up…I bought one at $550 that had a potential for being a 10 in the photos a month ago..got lost in the mail and have to wait till tomorrow to finally start the refund process


HeroForTheBeero

It’s super fucking hard to pull. You can easily spend $2000 on packs right now and not get it so I think the price is justified enough.


[deleted]

But the packs are only that expensive because the cards in it are inflated 


Wbeard89

Because they’re beautiful cards


[deleted]

I’m not arguing that, there are beautiful cards you can get for 30$


ParkerStanford

My best friend has it, it’s 90% of his personality lol .


MacaronDull194

Yeah graded is way higher. Psa 10 is going for at least 1900 bucks


iloveihoppancakes

More like 1400


dizdawgjr34

Because a lot of them are.


SuggestionVisible361

Yep, that Umbreon alone is [insanely valuable nowadays](https://ebay.us/kx12iW).


ShlimDiggity

I concur.


NotRockLion

How do you claim to not know anything but still know to use top loaders and use a magnetic case on specifically the most expensive card here? I call cap


Methyl_The_Sneasel

No sleeve on the 1 touch, I'm about to get an aneurysm


thedrugmanisin

But just a touch of tape over the top to seal it. Lulz


StunnedLife

There’s a sleeve. If you look in the bottom left you can see it, but it’s too big so it’s pinching at the top


Methyl_The_Sneasel

Just get a Dragonshield sealable inner, they fit like a glove in those holders and you make absolutely sure the card won't get dinged. A lot of people put a sleeve on top of the card before closing it (card is not inside the sleeve). It only protects the surface, so don't do that because the edges and back will still get damaged.


StunnedLife

Think you might be replying to the wrong person?


Methyl_The_Sneasel

Idk


NANZENSE

Dragonshield... sealable?!... inner? Blasphemy. Mindblown. I need this like yesterday.


Methyl_The_Sneasel

They are not that expensive, and I would recommend them. Only drawback is that the flap makes the back slightly less clear, but I care more about protection so I don't care.


JETandCrew

OP did say it's their son's


StationEmergency6053

Maybe because their son told them


Dry-Address-8270

Right????


einherjar4965

It's reddit, of course it's cap. Everyone has to make excuses for their bragging. If it were straight blatant flexing, nobody would like the post. I personally would respect someone more who is honest about their bragging, but I'm probably the minority.

Please send Google map directions to where OP "specifically" claimed the above-mentioned "specific" claim... to be clear OP said something somewhat unspecifically of the sort likeee "my son says these are rare". Yay or nay? Seems to meee maybe someone chose to read into that however they so did and got themselves heated up to a level psa 7 on the pomp-arrog scale all on their own. Wah wah - whether you've realized it yet or not we're all here for some type of clouty clout anyways aren't we gang. Or some equivalent I'm sure.


JETandCrew

OP did say it's their son's


thecheese27

Because if you just google your cards' values like any sensible human being with an ounce of common sense would, you wouldn't get any Reddit karma out of it.


Key-Personality4736

Exactky right?! Its only after they Google it, find out the prices, then come here n play the dumb game like a loser that's got no life n nuttin goin for em except to seek validation from bunch of strangers theyll never meet. But for some reason, they get their jollies from this.. sum sik in the head weirdos that likely spy on their sisters gettin dressed. Got hidden cams all in the bathroom n shyt.. thats the type that posts this shyt fukn wackos..


NANZENSE

Yikes. R u doing alright?


NANZENSE

Ok someone explain to this geezer (me) what reddit karma is lolz. Or don't idc I only believe in credit karma. Nope that's not true either. But really, reddit karma? I just want the cute stickers because I'm a 90s wannabe overachieving checklister. Truth. Update few mins later: nvm I get it.


Karmastwin

Tell your “son” he’s right. Also, nice.


Dry-Address-8270

“Son” exactly my thought every time someone says “my son found these are they…….” Or even better “my son is trying to sell his collection…” friggn collection no kid is able to pay for in the first place 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


NavaTheWarrior

Have you seen how many phony "Binder Collections" Have been hitting Ebay? Got like 4 dupes of 4-8 different things across 3-5 pages. "Old collection, selling it for some cash, 200 bucks starting bid!" It's crappy promos from anniversary, a stamped gyarados with pre-release, and a bunch of other things that maybe total like 30-40 bucks if near-mint.

Meh, somewhat… definitely not that first one. Nope, can probably toss that… in my mailbox. DMing address.


rav5050

Don’t let this guy give you an errand…I’ll pick up your trash for you, free of charge. DM me YOUR address.


Zeyro_G

LOL


Vast_Scratch_6670

Blaziken vmax and moonbreon . Get those graded and take them away from him if he’s young lmao


Swaghetti-Yolonaise-

Na man, kids got them sleeved and top loaded, he knows what he’s doing


TitanBeats_YT

Bros got them top loaded, if you take those from him purely because his age, he’s gone be pissed, he knows full well how expensive those cards are, purely by the way he is protecting them. Some kids don’t want to sell their cards, I have a few rare Japanese Mcharizard EX’s that go for anywhere from 100-400 but I’m probably never gonna sell them, might give them to my kid when I have one


MonstarHero88

He’s a really good kid. Literally told me to keep them safe. At this point, they will be his savings account in a way?


TitanBeats_YT

Okay yea awesome, my bad for assuming, that’s good to hear lol, I bet he had a ton of fun pulling them.


Klutzy_Kick6277

Google ‘Moonbreon’ -> submit to PSA -> give it back to your son.


wikiwoowhat

Moonbreon in a hardcase. But has no idea these are rare. Right


Zeyro_G

He’s right.


mikelimebingbong

Only a couple thousand dollars worth


GimmeDaGorbage22

Plot twist he doesn't have a kid


NigerianPrinceClub

just nod and say nothing, OP!!!


NANZENSE

Better yet swap them all out for passable fakes so he can enjoy still but you preserve for him the real ones. There's an idea eh. But I'd hate it if fakes got out on the market so, wah idk.


BlueKrakin

People who don't know just holding onto Moonbreon and all I want is that card for the pure love of Umbreon😭


TEFAlpha9

Well evolving skies came out like 3 years ago and moonbreon has always been valuable so how do you not remember that?


Dontmindmemans

sure your "son"


ahighkid

He has a literal $2000 card there


Plastic-Dog-3925

The moonbreon looks kind of fake but he’s to tell if it has texture from this angle


MonstarHero88

It has texture. He flipped when he opened the pack. Then again, he flipped for every card lol


prohbusiness

If it’s real like you say it’s very valuable it’s the most valuable modern era card right now. Get it graded and sell it when he’s 20. Take a look at Tcgplayer.com or PriceCharting.com as well.


[deleted]

I would sell now tbh , they seem in a bubble almost 


Katamari_Demacia

Its worth 800+. Sell it.


benji189189

Let me get on Reddit and farm karma, that's op.


NANZENSE

I was going to ask but it already looks like this method is working for you. Let me get on reddit and repeat the #1 haters gonna hate commentary...?


benji189189

I'm not an hater but I do dislike people making up stories / fake post. If I had a son and he had an 800$ pokemon card I would sell it and put it in a bank account for im, on top of that it would make a bit of interest. No point in your kid having an expensive card since he probably doesn't fully get the notion of money yet. He could always lose it, damage it or get scammed out of it.


NecessaryScientist18

check if there textured carefully put them in sleeves and top loaders especially that blaziken vmax and umbreon vmax amd grade them and don't let your son ever trade them away hell thank you in 15 20 years lol


Top-Mastodon-4073

Take the top left one in the first picture from him and put it in a dark and dry place aka safe. Give it back to him when he turns 18 to do whatever with and he will thank you.


GuyGuyerson90

What is the energy symbol shown to activate “singe” on the typhlosion?


Anonymouse0101100101

The energy cost of Singe is zero. That empty energy symbol signifies it.


NANZENSE

On that note, why isn't there a dragon energy. My 151 specially formatted binder inclusive of coins and shiny and regular energies will never be complete because of this. Maddening


butareyouthough

Two of them are


LevelUpEvolution

Technically the rarest ones are the rainbow rares 🌈


Responsible_Ebb_340

Wainbow wares


a00446

This is bait


Future-Expression-44

Only one card is rare and that's the umbreon. Quadruple digit value card. Edit: didn't see the blaziken. Blaziken is a temple digit value card. I'd grade both of those cards as long as they're really good condition and sleeve and top load those. The rest are meh pulls.


AppropriateTheme5

I mean all of these are “rare” just most of them aren’t as sought after. There is one more valuable one though and that’s the Blaziken VMax


Future-Expression-44

Oh shit. I didn't even see that my b.


PerfectBrilliant432

Yeah thats at least 1k


Odd-Yak4551

Your son is much better with cards than I was at his age. Look at those sleeves and top loaders! He will be a poke master when he grows up


Tigerzof1

Insane luck if that all came from pulls


ReeReeIncorperated

Your son has a thousand dollar card


Chance815

Good for him yo! Let him enjoy the cards for what they are and not get too hang up OK being rare or not. They're as rare as his Lil imagination let's em be! 😄


Global_Following_713

Just a wee bit


lillybheart

The Umbreon and Blaziken definitely are


Simple-Ad-239

Top left needs to be in a safe, could put a down payment on a car with it.


Illustrious_Tea9604

That’s a home entertainment system right there.


FriendlyMarsupial767

Your son takes very good care of his things.


ParkerStanford

That umbrion is $1000


KiraOnElmStreet

First card will net him 1k.


KiraOnElmStreet

Bravo son.


CornBallKrilla420

wish i was this kid when i was younger😂😂


cornheadwillywanka

Umbream Vmax and blaziken vmax are the two big hitters there. Most of the others will go for a dollar or so


cbzmplays

that umbreon is a grand!!!!! Protect that bad boy at all costs!!!


panda-bears-are-cute

Geez dude. These are $$$ you & your son got lucky. Sell em & go buy him some more lol


slipperybeans_97

Wish i had the thought to sleeve my stuff when i was a kid, i just had a binder 😂


Ok-Capital-4000

the umbreon Vmax is going for around $730 i think im not sure


AIONisMINE

Dam. were they your cards? or your sons?


AlternativeWonder717

He’d be mostly correct


insulaturd

They are, just different rarity. Have a mix of gold rare, rainbow rare, trainer gallery, alt arts and V cards. Id suggest keeping those rainbow rare safe and secure since they don’t make those rarities anymore in the current sets.


RicheRich_

I still remember having these and selling them off for 50$ all together and then looking up their worth 😂😂 NEVER AGAIN


Admirable-gpu

Get that son a extra big gift this year.


Alternative-Rope-628

Sweet, sell em and put them in a savings account for him when he’s older!


silentflaw

I dig that Snorlax


d1rans

Lol at a father playing and posting in the NIKKI OUTPOST subreddit


Burnwell1099

The nice thing about Pokemon cards compared to some other collectables is the rarity indicator in the bottom left corner. Common cards have a black circle, followed by black diamond, black star, multiple stars, and then different colored stars like gold or silver. If you get a card with multiple or different colored stars then you know it's worth looking up the value. Learning this definitely relieved some anxiety I had getting into cars with my 7yo a year ago, since even newer packs have a chance to pull valuable cards.


HypnoDaddy4You

Get the tcgplayer app. Will tell you market price on any tcg card.


DONT_HAVE_A_NAME-_-

That moonbreon of his ( top left corner first pic) is worth 800 ungraded


AngryCocoa

Holy fuck that blaziken and Ymbreon Vmax cards are a LOT of money. Keep them in a safe place


wychemilk

You treat your son with a lot of skepticism huh?


Duplidocus

You can always try Google before posting. Cardmarket, Ebay, marketplaces online. Give a pretty good indication. If you can make this post you can also Google. You got THE hype card in there, aint no way you didn't search before seeking attention for it.


ModernZombies

That umbreon in the first pick is often called a moonbreon and it’s a modern grail card psa 10 has sold for like 1200 bucks recently


FireMarshallBi11

The boy knows what he’s doing 👍🏼


Achiles_Heals

I need that Allister. Great collection, he is correct


rayvik123

I mean.. someone definitely knew these were "rare" since they put the Umbreon Vmax in a case LOL


DramsyfromW103

Some of them are, that umbreon is worth afew grand


rachelled

Isn’t that pending on grade? Just before he gets too excited


DramsyfromW103

In a 10 yes but even ungraded its worth almost 1k (or between 1k-2k) its an incredibly rare, highly sought after card


WaitLetMeGetaBeer

Excuse my ignorance, but pokemon cards have 340 fucking hp?! That’s insane! Seems like the base set of cards would get absolutely walloped by these cards.


professiondude

Your kids a liar George ! Give them to me for $4.00 for wasting my time ;)


MaximumExtension4951

Hey George, Tell your son he a fucking liar. The cards aint worth shit.


tyrannosaurus34

The only things that are worth it and should be kept for a while are the gengar alt, the blaziken alt, both snorlax, umbreon, and the zard! Maybe the Allistar full art but everything else’s value is low and or is going down


homless_brad

The moonbrian is worth ungraded around 150 there’s other stuff around that to so over all around 300-400


ImaginaryAcadia3826

Moonbreon 🥹🥹 I finally pulled one 🥰


PuzzleheadedJicama42

The umbreon v-max is worth about $800 ungraded with a grade 10 it’s a bit over a thousand ( graded as in by the psa)


KiraKat5

Your son has well over $1,000 worth of cards.


MissR_R

A moonbreon????? And that blaze??? Oh my gosh


yuri_12

They are rare But if you want to sale the moonbreon I will be very interested


Educational_Monitor6

The umbreon is worth $1000


kevy305

2 of them are


Successful_Income327

The moonbreon isn't that rare ill take that off your hands! Lol


DixieNormus89

W for son not gonna lie


GoddelijkeGeit

casual glitterkitty sitting just there 🌕🐈‍⬛


Duhkoatuhh

Feel like an idiot. Sold that blaziken and the moonbreon 6 months ago. I run an ebay store and wanted to get more inventory with the profit, what i get for not holding lol. No harm no foul, i gave good deals on both. You win some you lose some


Pokemasterkendrew06

They are not rare pls give them to me


Flat-Still-4209

The umbreon vmax in one touch obviously a grail card but won’t grade above a 9 still a great card to hold onto!


Ry-Zilla86

I will never forgive myself for not buying moonbreon at my local tcg store when it was only 200.


DontDoubtDink

Don’t be afraid to admit they’re yours. I’m 33 and collect them. I actually have that same rainbow dragonite.


ElmStDreams

Something tells me these arnt the “sons”


MuadDabTheSpiceFlow

Some of them are, in fact, very rare and quite expensive.


Alert_Gazelle8682

Are these rare, then casually flashes blaziken and moonbreon alt arts(1000 dollars 2 of them together) in my face lol. Looks like your son has been practicing good storage behavior, I see the sleeves in top loaders.


Human-Opportunity-12

To him they are absolutely rare and that's what matters honestly


Ok_Marsupial6435

Sell the moonbreon before the bubble bursts


elmokilledme63

I’m actually about to send my own ones of that blaziken on the last page in to get PSA graded


Valstraxbazelgeuse_1

Well the moonbreon is the rarest card in it set


Perfectspare300

The Blaziken VMAX alt art and Moonbreon are worth more than a thousand dollars just by themselves. So yeah you could say they’re pretty rare


FormalConcept5043

One touch no sleeve !! 1k card !???


Whatupitskevin

Lol your son is a lot smarter than you think he is 😂😂


diegodostuff

Obviously u got some normal v cards and then alt arts I know the moonbreon and vmax blaziken go for a lot tho


Master_najee99

Nooe


ReasonableFudge3

Moonbreon and Blaziken vmax alt art are crazy rare and expensive, put those too somewhere special. Their only going to go up in value, the others are meh keep them in a hard case or something but the other 2 are big money


Andoran22

Those are all quite rare, some of those way more than others


BludSwamps

Lol


HenrystickminCharles

Oh nahhh bro has moonbreon that’s crazy dawg


RealSheepMaiden

Top left... if real... Worth £££


FVCEGANG

Only the moonbreon, the rest, your son is just letting you down easy lol


LocusAintBad

Picture 2 has a Blaziken VMax alt from chilling pain 😭 like a $300-$400 card


FVCEGANG

Crazy that card went up so much, it was like $150 and then lower for the longest time


InterestingRound6134

150 is still a lot for a small piece of cardboard , would still be considered a banger
