So yeah. These are a bunch of cards and like I'm guessing you see with a lot of childhood collections, some of the cards are *really* beat up. They traveled unsleeved in backpacks and pockets, and I'm unable to guarantee none of them ever accidentally saw the inside of a washing machine.
That said, I could use some help as I have no idea what I'm looking at here. 5 or 6 moves and at least 20y after I last bought or traded for a Pokémon card, I found my old collection is a moving box. Filtered out the rares and sleeved them, but I don't intend to keep them. The nostalgia hit was nice, but my geeky interests morphed more towards fantasy and scifi after the early teen Pokémon craze of the late 90s/early 00s. Also, I'm more nostalgic for the GameBoy games than the cards when it comes to Pokémon (full Pokédex Crystal save, let's gooo!).
Anyway. I'm not looking for a detailed breakdown of the collection, I just want some rough guidance on whether there's anything here worth trying to sell the collection for, or whether it really is just old cardboard. In which case it's going to a friend who's kid just got into colllecting the cards (but deliberately isn't allowed expensive ones yet because of playground shenanigans). WDYT?
