Well, I suppose its time for me to get rid of my pokemans as I need to buy some cool BTC stuffs. I know that my fellow demographic (Males between 16-25) played with these cards back when we were 10, and if you are feeling especially reminiscey, why not get your old collection back and remember the good times, back before everything sucked! I listed them on ebay, as I had forgotten entirely about the possibility of Pokemans for BTC (I know asinine right?) but I would like to say, that I will accept BTC in place of $ if you win the Pokemans. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170921580338?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649If you don't want to go to Ebay, and check out all of the pics, www.imgur.com/a/qxEnB#0

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

That's a lot of money for paper cards. Can you tell me why they are so expensive?

Well, the company that made them, Wizards of the Coast, figured out exactly how to make trading card games that people would spend all of their money on. Make special cards that will give you a slight advantage if you are playing with them, and make a limited supply. It also helps that the cards I'm selling are the ones that are all from the first release, which was in 1998. People didn't know that they would become one of the leading toys/franchises or whatever pokemans is, and kids just played with them, and ruined them. Now, there are even fewer of these orginial rare cards going around, so certain cards in mint condition can go for $500 each or better.
Wizards also made Magic Cards, which have a slightly older, and larger neckbeard fan base, with a disposable income, and for this reason, certain magic cards can go for $100,000 for the same reason. I never played with magic cards when I was a little fellow, like I did with pokemon, so I don't know as much about them, but I believe there was a small original set of cards which would allow you to win on the first turn if you had them all. Now, the full set will be nearly a million dollars in a complete mint set.
And, then theres the reminisce factor, which is why I bought additional OLDER cards lately, because I wanted to briefly relive my childhood that was cut short by that Terrible war......

Yeah, I'm actually expecting them to hit at least $500, as each of the cards is worth at the minimum, around $5, with a few of them being in the $30-50 range.
I'm going to buy a LTC mining rig with my pokeman moneys.

I wonder if there would be a market for Magic Cards here...
I have money cards from the 2 most recent blocks...
Also, I've seen the most expensive magic card, in person, and it was signed by the artist. He could sell it for 3.2K USD easy. [Black Lotus]

I've seen mint Black Lotus cards sell for $100,000 on Ebay. Again, that being said, I was never really into Magic Cards, so I don't know much about them, besides that is one of a set of like 8 cards that let you instantly win if you have all of them.

The good ole power 9... If someone bought a Black Lotus for 100k, there was some sort of money laundering going on. You can buy it from a retailer for 5K. http://sales.starcitygames.com/search.php?substring=Black+Lotus&auto=Y

Ohhh. The quality must be the selling point there. It's not even an original though. Black Lotus was originally printed in the first set, alpha, and then reprinted in beta.
Alpha- near Mint - 5k Beta - near Mint - 3.5k
