Best Moment: 1999 Pokémon Trading Card Collection | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW | PBS 

You know we're getting old when pokemon is on antiques roadshow

I remember taking a ticket to wait may turn at Target to buy Pokemon cards with my allowance while my mom did shopping. The collectibles checkout lane used to be with the customer service desk back in the day.

Here we go 30k for a squirtle

"My Mom thought I was getting take advantage of on my pokemon trades" ya tell Me about it. As a kid I was so naïve and easily suaded. I remember I had the original Blastoise 1st edition from the base set. I traded it to some asian kid for some cheap chinese pokemon card. I remember I just liked it because it was shiny all over. In hindsight it was probly some garbage sticker and I dont doubt that kid thinks back to how he got Me for it to this day. I didnt actually pursue him for the trade He came and hustled Me .

Her mom did the opposite of all our parents

This guy is terrible valuer

This guys valuations are the worst I've ever heard

$1200 for a raw shadowless mewtwo 😂😂 its only worth around $425 graded in a psa 9

100% fake. This lady is an actress trying to get attention to be on the show. The story does not check out.

I used to have the whole original set and i just gave it away when i got older in the early 2000s. Hit me right in in my heart and soul.

The mom paid only 35$ for the whole set in 1999? Not sure I believe that.

A raw shadowless mewtwo last sold for $65. Obviously condition varies, but no way is that card gonna go for 800-1200 like that

Is really cool to feel included in Antiques Roadshow!!!

This is the problem with mainstream media covering Pokemon, prices were quoted wayyyyy too high in this episode. That's a shame. Makes me wonder what other priced were inflated throughout this series *sigh*

Wow there’s no chance that mewtwo unlimited is worth 200 dollars 😂 it’s like a 20 buck card if your lucky

I've been a vintage pokemon card investor for coming on 10 years. This guy is pulling all of these numbers out of his butt. He has no idea what he's talking about. That unlimited mewtwo he said was $150-$200? It's $30-$40 in near mint. The shadowless mewtwo he's saying goes for 800-1200 raw? $120-$150 in near mint. The shadowless charizard he said was 2-3K? It's max $1200 raw if it's looking perfect. Nothing here is going to get an 8. I can literally see holo speckling on the gyarados and if the holo backs are looking anything like the backs of the cards that they're sharing sleeves with that you can see, you're looking at probably light play minus to moderate played plus, which is dropping all of those prices even further. Is he just reading off a script written by someone who can't do simple research, or what? The reason why this stuff is so annoying is because it creates wildly unrealistic expectations for people who inevitably come to resellers like me looking to sell their $200 collections for $5,000 because media outlets lie about the market value of pokemon cards to get clicks.

The Clefable in the center is not even in the original base set, that's from Jungle...

My mom hated when I’d spend my allowance on Pokémon or yugioh cards. Lol

off topic but she is built good af

I just got my notification and rushed right over !!!! Thanks for posting this Antiques Roadshow most interesting trading card video !!!!

Prices were quoted way too high. Charizard is about $800 - 1,000 mint and ungraded. It is actually rare for someone to sell that card ungraded, so an exact value is hard to determine. I can also tell you that storage in a binder alone doesn't guarantee mint condition. Moisture ruins cards and might not be noticeable until you remove them. Another thing, this show is called Antique Roadshow, but these are not antiques. The accepted definition of antique in the antique collectors community is an item of considerable age, usually over 100 years old.

I have a hard time believing anyone is a fan who pronounces Pokemon any way other than pok-ey-mon.

The prices are way off, embarrassing for this guy just trying to get air time with over valuing and mispronunciations.

Isn't it weird what us humans find valuable

His prices were sooooo off its insane with the condition of those cards she is not getting anywhere close to that. This misinformation sucks so much cause people now think there beat up cards are the holy grail. Dude couldn't even pronounce pokemon right he said it like someone in there 80s thats never heard of pokemon.

I'll be the one to point out that the apraisal was absolutely too hight. Today on a good day that binder might sell for a couple grand not anywhere near $10k

I was talking about comics and cards being on this show almost 20 years ago , half jokingly, but once that episode with the MTG Power 9 and dual lands was aired, I knew we reached the turning point . I then said " next will be pookemon, then yugioh", and so far Im half right. Cant wait to see Blue Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician Girl being appraised. THis chick has a friend that was trying to scam her, though, it sounds like. $50 for that whole binder, they told her? Bye bye former "friends" lol * smfh * I dont get why some folks have so little sense about these things. Even without being as "expert" as the dude that specializes in cards, comics and collectibles for the show, I been around long enough that I could have easily given the same rough grade for the charizard and overall the whole binder of around $12 thousand total, as is at auction. Theres 102 cards there, all near mint, like the dude said " roughly 8 to 8.5 out of 10 quality for everything". Get them shinies graded missy! ^

Man this brings back so many memories. I collected all the original when I was younger and they would be worth so much today. Unfortunately, my dad stole them all when I was in high school and sold them to a pawn shop for next to nothing

LOL does this guy want to purchase my cards? Silly inflated prices given, ridiculous from an "expert"

These prices he's spitting out are just wrong. Psa 9 mint shadowless mewtow is 400, not a binder rough shape ungraded raw he's quoting for 800-1200 LMAO Its ok i don't expect accurate information from these shows its all entertainment

Your friends were trying to rip u off😂 I wish that was mine. Amazing

long live the Nido KING 🤴 🤣

Hello my name is Enrique I love your channel, I wanted to ask you a favor about a set of baseball cards, they are from Nolan Ryan error collection 1987 until 1991, they are 20 original topps cards thank you very much

I sold a binder twice the size of this with only the best cards at a garage sale for $3. Still punching myself.

1999? I was 11 what a time to collect pokemon! Some of those cards have much more value today!

How’re they not gonna show us the full binder 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'll be a better friend and offer $100 😂

None are 1st edition?

yeah she needs new friends lol $50 my butt

That charizard is 10k!!!! Hes wrong

Antiques road show needs to get a better “appraisal expert”….. guy really doesn’t know collectibles

This guy is way off lol😂

Guy said Nydo king

I hope this dude is talking about graded prices cause ain’t no one paying 800-1200 for an ungraded shadowless Mewtwo. 😂 what a joke

these prices are outrageously high, good luck getting $5k for that LOL

Where did he get his prices for those cards? They seem kinda high.

oh my god, almost positive this is my collection. My mom sold my collection which was extensive back in around 2003-2004, I was devastated. I collected heavily and even had Japanese vending machine cards. The binder and the way the cards are positioned is exactly like I remember. Would really like to know where her mom got them from. It was a black cheap binder, wish she would've showed off some more pages.

Finally something from Antique Roadshow that I'm actually an expert at!

At the start she says her mum bought her this set online? Is that even possible in 1999?

No chance of a 9 sitting in a binder that long.

Thats some of the worst acting i have ever seen🤦

He said holograms

lol that charizard is probably $35 during the late 1990s... You can possibly get a set for $35 in early 2010s when stuff was mad cheap but then it would be rough to get that - you probably mad lucky on a good bid that no one saw...

"NIGH DOH KING."

Mewtwo: £5, shadowless: £50

Reminder that the 90s are to us now what the 60s were to the 90s.

She needs new friends. Anyone that knows about Pokémon cards would know that those hologram cards would sell for a minimum of $10 each so she would get $180 minimum just for that page we can see

I sold my whole set at a garage sell for 30 bucks. I still cry.

No. This isn't possible. This can't be happening. Also you didn't put them in order. Not even first ed! Ha!

Seeing Pokémon cards on Antiques Roadshow made my back go out

I'll agree with Travis: I need new friends that will sell me their Pokemon binders for $50.

I had a binder of Pokémon cards just like that that was stolen when our family was on vacation in the 90's when I was a kid. 🤔

I told my son…. Put every dollar into the s&500 he didn’t listen… I told my Grandson put every dollar into s&p500 fund..he didn’t listen..OVER 45yrs I have put every single Real estate commission I earned into s&p500 AND every single Property Development PROFIT into s&p500…Now aged 68 I am scared of my “WILL” God..if your listening please 🙏 don’t turn my kids into Lindsey Lohan drug addicts” 😢

Only objects with no real intrinsic value fluctuate so absurdly in price. There's a sucker something something.

This guy seriously doesn't know much on Pokemon. I mean......COME ON!!! That is a 1st edition JUNGLE card in the middle! That is not base set! Second, this is NOT the first set to come out, that would have been base set 1st edition. Third, no way could your mom have gotten this for you in the 90s, cause that would have been at best July 1999. Who in their right mind would sell this at the explosion of the Pokemon crazy? People, this is simple.....these are faked now. They post stuff like this, make it seem real to bring in the views. It's reality tv

CLEFABLE ISNT BASE SET YOU CAN SEE THE JUNGLE LEAF RIGHT THERE

I sold my entire collection a few years ago. Made 113k.

she said her friends said it was worth 50 bucks??..hha your friends are not your friends if they want to take advatage of you...probably told her that hoping they could buy it from her....LOL

That estimate is way to low

lol mewtwo is 100-150$ lol mewtwo is more like $10-15$ top. It is not that rare...

BRO IS COOKING LOLLLLL GIVING HER GRADED VALUES LOLLLLLLLL id offer her 1000 for the lot and id take the risk on the grades

Man his price estimates are way off, even for the peak times. He is giving these old, used raw cards a PSA9 rating in price. Not how it works.

1st off no way even in the 90s did she get these for 35 bucks the zard has always been a bare minimum 50$ card

calling it now, Nintendo will copyright strike this video and send a private military contractor to the production office.

"nye doe king" Bruh. Also "peak market" sales dont really mean much even during that "oeak market" time. Especially if they are sales on places like ebay.

This is bull, i still have all my cards specially all of these the only want to give me a couple $100.

My stupid nephew took my binder with Pokemon cards from that era and gave to his stupid friends at school in 2022. I literally am nauseous thinking about it and I hate him right now.

It’s a shame scalpers and idiots like Jake Paul ruined Pokémon during Covid..

Prices are waaaay off now (not sure when this was aired) Charizard varies 500-1500 maybe Everything else significantly less Mewtwo base set is NOT $120😵‍💫

I’ve sent in brand new Pokémon cards that only got a 9. A binder card won’t be a 9.

My mom sold my cards at a yard sale because pocket monsters were demonic

Free gubment checks and human earwig Logan Paul caused the inflated market for pokemon cards.

I'm sorry but those prices are wayyyyyyyy off

$50!? those are some shady friends...probably trying to swindle her

Wow this guy is saying mewtwo is 800. In mp I have like 100 of them hahahahahaha this guy knows nothing

The shadowless charizard goes for as much as $30,000 in a psa 10

This guys prices are completely horse sh*t. Way off with this prices

Who’s gonna tell him it’s pronounced N-ih-doking?

keep dreaming buddy. His Numbers are WAYYYYYY too high.

She needs to get a high quality binder. And he pronounced nidoking wrong but whatever.

that charizard was king , great centering , shadow and dosent seem dinged or anything

I have a collection much like this. Where can i sell it? 😂😂😂

your mom didnt like your friends, & dude dont like your friends .. just sayin

Pokemon: For people who won't mortgage their house to play Magic.

Even in 99 you couldnt get a complete set for $35.

Anyone else bit their tongue when he pronounced Nidoking incorrectly or just me?

Nobody’s paying $10k for that collection

I remember stealing pokemon cards as a kid from Hastings 😂

His assessment would be accurate if they were all graded

These are from different sets. I see 1st ED , base set 2 and shawdoless cards..
