OT—Pokemon cards—

[dougscats]

I have a granddaughter who collects said cards.
I’d like to get her a bunch for Christmas.

Can anyone refer me to a good site or venue to buy from?

Thanks.

Doug

I don't collect them but would try ebay, or your local walmart or target. Amazon probably has some too.

Don't make that a running gag. But yes, to just play the game, buying a blister pack with some promo cards and a few unopened packs at your local WalMart is perfectly reasonable. Or are you looking for bulk cards she can make more decks out of? If so, craigslist or flea markets might be your best bet.

Do I know you? Are you one of the jerks from PSA? Go back to your hole.

Depends on how much you want to spend but you can't go wrong with a new pokemon cosmic eclipse booster box. They cost around $90 and contain 36 packs. You can find online at dave and adams, steel city or ebay. If you want to spend less try booster packs or a collection box. Booster packs at Wal-Mart typically are around $4 each and collection boxes at Wal-Mart are from $19.99 to $49.99.
My recommendation is stick to the newest sets such as cosmic eclipse unless told otherwise.

My son find common Pokemon cards at local comic book store for 10 cent each. They have monster boxes and albums full of them.

My 11 year old son and his friends are currently gaga over the Tag Team variants. You should find them on Ebay easily enough.

An unopened box ( and these things are only 15 yrs old or so ) went for some crazy money -$5000-$10000...in a major auction a couple weeks ago

The box possibly contained the " oh so rare" ..Char-a-zard hologram !

My son collects Pokémon also. The $20 boxes at Walmart or Target are a good deal. Lots of kids really like the oversized cards and it's the best way to get them other than getting them off eBay or through another secondary seller. I would also recommend checking your local Dollar Tree. They sell packs of 4 cards for $1 each. The chances of getting a "good" card is actually quite good, we seem to have better luck than paying for the $4 packs. They might be tough to find though because they are so popular. You can see videos on youtube of folks opening 1,000 packs at a time. Very good results though.

Good luck!

$10,000 is nothing. The November Huggins and Scott auction got $61,500 for a box of Pokemon.

COMC also has Pokemon and other gaming cards.

Thanks for all the good info and advice.
I wound up getting a cosmic eclipse blister pack as well as a few binders with pocket-pages, and I learned a bit in the bargain.
