Holographic First Edition Charizard(the best one) - VGF

Demonicus Prime · 06-07-2005, 10:45 PM

I would like to know what my First Edition Holographic Charizard from 1995 is worth. Some people say it's worth like $50 and some people say it's worth $200. I got It at a legitimate card shop in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1995. It has absolutely no scraches and has only been handled once, to put it in a hard-plastic screw-together case about the size of an adult's hand. If you could help me, that would be great.

Thanks

Cards aren't worth much nowadays. You can get a Charizard for around $15 at Ebay. You could look around there to see how much they're going for since most online stores are ridiculously overpriced.

Codiekitty · 06-07-2005, 11:19 PM

I once saw some flea market card shop selling a promo Mew for $15. That card isn't worth anything, never was. And in fact, I have a stack of them about two inches tall that my brother who worked at Toys R' Us gave me.

But yeah, the value of the cards has nosedived since the Yu-Gi-Oh hype. The only card any shop around where I live will take is a Charizard, and even then they won't give you much for it.

My, my.. this topic does bring back memories, now, doesn't it?...

thunt · 06-08-2005, 12:10 AM

I sold 'em to little kids.
Broke their wallets. Some kid actually paid the $20.00 I asked for the Charizard.
If you sold it 3 years ago though, you could get $250 for it.

I figured that if I waited ten years, it would increase in value, but I see that I'm wrong. That sucks! The only reason I kept it was because of emotional value, and the opprotunity to sell a piece of paper for $1000! I have had it sitting on my Nintendo cabinet for like ten years, and I'm 12/13!

Demonicus Prime · 06-08-2005, 01:48 PM

Cursed Yug-i-oh! How dare they demean the cute *eyes dart* animals thingys that have been around for twice as long! I still remember buying the Zubat,Seel,and Dratini beanie babies from KFC! And I still have them! Yeah Pok`emon! *eyes dart again*

Well, the only reason Pokemon cards were worth more than pieces of paper with ink on them was because of the demand. No demand, no real value.

No you couldn't. At least, not 3 years ago.

Pokemon haven't even been in America for 10 years yet...

Demonicus Prime · 06-08-2005, 09:02 PM

It came out in 1995! Today is 2005!
Either my math's wrong(which it probably is),that's ten years!

Codiekitty · 06-08-2005, 09:16 PM

From my sources, it was released in America in '97.

Possibly, but the Charizard card says "copyright 1995", but you may be right that it came out in '97. I do vaugely remember '97 as a release date, but the card says '95. Hmmm... I wonder if it's a misprint or something....

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 06-09-2005, 04:56 PM

Doesn't matter, it's not a misprint. Pokemon Red and Blue were released Christmas '97.

Codiekitty · 06-09-2005, 05:01 PM

Maybe it has something to do with Pokemon having been released in Japan early 1996, as well as the time between designing all the monsters and programming the game, and then actually releasing it?

Demonicus Prime · 06-09-2005, 09:09 PM

True, but this isn't a Japanese card. But, they did go through Japan before it made it to the U.S. Maybe Shigeru Myamoto (sp?) had to go through patenting processes before It came to the 'states. Thanks for sorting this out,CodieKitty and Knucles173! Now I can go to school next year(Summer break) and rub it in their faces, because they told me that it came out in '95! HAW!

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 06-09-2005, 10:00 PM

Yeah, maybe it's because the character Charizard was created in 1995. Not totally sure myself.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 06-09-2005, 10:08 PM

Knucles?

Hate to say it, Yu-Gi-Oh's older. So's Monster Rancher. In fact, both Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh are ripoffs of Monster Rancher. Monster Rancher and DoA came from the same company*.
I have a huge bag of cards in a storage unit....and a Pikachu doll next to my sister's microwave! I forgot what my rarest card was. I know it was shiny.

* - I posted that just so I could talk about DoA because I like boobies.

Demonicus Prime · 06-10-2005, 10:21 AM

Okay......I know Monster Rancher's older, but Yu-Gi-Oh? I already beat Pok`emon Stadium By the time I got the Advertisement video from "Pegasus" (which was really Toys-R-Us) explaining what Yu-Gi-Oh was, and that it was coming out like "This Winter" or something to that extent. I really don't know, but I do know that Pok`emon came out first, but I don't know If it was out twice as long. I take that back..... [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] But you are right in the fact that they are a rip-off of Monster Rancher. I never really got into it.....

Codiekitty · 06-10-2005, 07:49 PM

Didn't Yu-Gi-Oh start as a manga?
