My son introduced me to Pokémon cards a couple of years ago. As a sports card guy for over 40 years, I immediately gravitated towards the Topps and Topps Chrome cards that were issued in 1999-00 only. I bought a ton of them, completing insert sets, etc. Over the past year, I grew tired of them and decided to start selling them at my local sports card shows and eBay store. I have quickly come to find out that there is virtually zero interest in these Topps issued cards. While we get tons of requests at our table for Pokémon, it is next to impossible to sell even a single Topps card. I expected that these would gain traction one day, just not sure now whether I’ll still be alive to see that day, I’ll be 55 next month.

Anyone else on the board here do Pokémon and finding out the same scenario? Just as an example, I went on eBay and did a card search for Kabutops, definitely not one of the more popular Pokémon characters. Results were 6,000+ Pokémon issued cards listed for sale and a total of 52 Topps and Topps Chrome combined. Could it be any more obvious that there is zero interest in these cards?

Guess I should look at the bright side. At least we know that there are a few other idiots like myself who bought lots of these and now stuck with them forever. Maybe eBay can somehow promote these listings so that all of these can finally sell……
