Pokémon Card enthusiasts are everywhere, not only the 90’s kids who were attracted by the Japanese show Pokémon but also the kids today are also highly interested in this card game. Such gaming cards are always evergreen to play with. Many have a huge collection of it to share with their grandchildren or friends. Apart from it, various sports cards are always in.
And let’s not forget about the adults too. There was the development of various games like pokémon go account and others. Pokémon Go was heavily based on AR (Augmented Reality). And not to forget our favorite Pokémon card game, “Pokémon Cards.”
What is Pokemon Cards?
The Pokémon Card game (PTCG) is a collectible card game based on Nintendo’s Pokémon franchise of video games and anime. It was first published in October 1996 by Media Factory in Japan. Initially, in the US, it was posted by Wizard of the Coast; The Pokémon Company eventually took over in 2003.
In this pandemic period of COVID-19, where people are quarantined, these kinds of games are prevalent not only among the kids but also the adults who are now reliving their 90’s era. I have enjoyed the Pokémon card game with my brother. But these cards are not available with everyone. Ever since the Pokémon movie made a return, people have discovered their love for Pokémon again.
Luckily, my brother has a collection of these, but some don’t. Some of us need them, and some don’t. Not to go far, I shared my experience with my friend of the game with my brother, and many of them didn’t have their collection or lost it, even if some of them had it was like five to four cards only. And here, the question arises “How to Buy and Sell Pokémon cards?”
The history of Pokemon Cards
I have found that it’s possible to make money through Pokémon cards. If you are the one who has a collection from the ’90s or new sealed box and has no use of it, you can make money quickly by selling them.
In this article, I will be telling you how to increase your income plus enjoy the game too as it can help you a lot because of a single Pokémon card “Pikachu Illustrator” sold for $195,000 last week, making Pikachu illustrator the most expensive one in existence, according to Kotaku. This card was never sold in packs like regular ones but awarded to Japanese comic contest winners in 1998. Only 39 were released, and 10 of them are believed to exist still. Even if you have one to two cards, you can use it and earn a fair amount through sales.
Answer to which is there are various online platforms where we can buy and sell these cards. People who don’t need it can sell it at actual market value or reasonable price, and people who need to buy can check their price and purchase.
