True story.
Kid in primary school was into pokemon cards so I bought him a few. Anyways, he'd have friends around occasionally to play but otherwise - nope - not taking them to school. Would google up how to set up decks etc. so I sort of knew what they were but definitely no fanboy.
So he begged me to take a deck to school one day and said ok and he took his best deck.
Long story short, of course some kids pinched cards off him and the boy was shattered (more so since I told him I'd kick his ass if he lost any). Lost my shit at the school (had names) and they came back 2 days later. And of course, one card had been folded into quarters. Some gold fringed dragon thing - fckd if I can remember.
Anyways, saw something on tele about someone paying millions for a card and thought - wonder what these are worth. One drunken night started googling. Turned out that card that had been quartered in good nick was $5k and in average nick (used) was still $1k. Fckng died.
Fckng weird what people will pay overs for as collectibles.
It's around somewhere in with the kids other pokemon cards.Buddy please tell me you kept the damaged card? They still hold value.
I've had PSA grade 3 cards come back and still sell for a decent amount.
Impossible to get a bgs pristine 10 , 9.5 is euivelant to a PSA 109.5 grading sucks dude. So close...

Not really collecting,but i got 2 Custom Pokemon cards made for my boy for Christmas last year, he loves them, ill post a pic when i get home.
I also have a Series 1 Optimus Prime, Mint Consition, not in box from when i was a kid, that Transformer is 40 years old i think.
Like this, but not in as perfect condition
I got a guy to make them for me, i think it's called card corner, they are located in Blacktown i think.The custom cards from Etsy? amazing work some of them i've found if so.
Regarding Crown Zenith of we're talking sealed product, I think they'll slowly find their way up again but it will probably be a few years.Do you think Crown Zenith prices will pick back up again?
After the reprint rumours the value of them dropped like crazy.
Also are you collecting the 151 set? So much nostalgia!!!
Me and my girls have been having a blast opening them up.
If they are base cards or common 90s inserts won’t be worth much my bro, send me photos or a list of that u have and I’ll let you knowI have a heap of Charles Barkley and David Robinson NBA cards, is there anywhere in Sydney where I can sell them without getting ripped off as I have no idea what they are worth.
