TCG Pricing, Selling, and Shipping Guide

[pogaf]

In the past few days I’ve noticed a number of posts regarding the price of Pokemon TCG cards; people asking for price quotes on certain cards they have and in return receiving various sorts of advice. I would like to outline one method to pricing and selling cards so that members can get an idea of how to appropriately value their collections for

Thank you ^^ I was hoping I wasn't over-explaining too much =X

I really appreciate the section on packaging/shipping :3 it can really apply to any flats ♥

Glad you liked it! :) Flats can be so annoying to ship, but that doesn't meant they have to be difficult! ^^

Yay for a good guideline! ^^ Very helpful to the average card seller.

A few additional notes, if you don't mind!
- World Championship cards are unfortunately worth close to nothing...
- Trollandtoad is generally pretty fair pricing for a guideline - if it's in stock on TnT, it's doubtful that you can get more for it. If it's OOS (out of stock), then definitely do more research!
- I recommend taping the toploaders closed when shipping, cards can fall out really easily and then get bent up. ><;; Not pretty.

Great guideline pogaf!

Excellent points! I was debating adding a bit about taping top-loaders, but I didn't want to get too repetitive. Seems like a popular technique though, so I will definitely add it! And I completely forgot about WC cards- I'll add that bit as well, thank you :)
