WTB POKEMON CARDS (English, German) - Base Set, Fossil, Jungle - 1st Edition

[bullrun2024bro]

Source: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg-banned-card-list/


Hey everyone,

I am trying to complete my personal Pokemon collection and thus I am looking to buy the following old Pokemon Cards:


- Base Set, Unlimited, 1st Edition (English and German), January 1999
- Jungle, Unlimited, 1st Edition (English), June 1999
- Fossil, Unlimited, 1st Edition (English), October 1999


I am more interested in personal collections/bulks than professional resellers who quote astronomical prices. Even if the cards are not in perfect shape (Good/Light-played/Played), thats completely fine for me. I am not aiming for a PSA10 here.  

I would prefer to pay in BTC or ETH. I am located in Europe and would prefer sellers from Europe. If you're a trusted member I am willing to go first, otherwise I would prefer an escrow.

I look forward to your offers (no proxys and other fakes please!). Feel free to post screenshots of your collections here or send me a PM.  


(I'm not quite sure if the post belongs in the "Goods" or "Collectibles" section, since we are not talking about bitcoin/crypto-collectibles. If this is the wrong section, please move my post.)

I'm not sure you'll find what you're looking for here. I have never heard of anyone selling Pokemon cards around here, but if you find someone that is.. you better let me know.

I believe this is the proper section, by the way - Collectibles is specifically for Bitcoin-Collectibles, if I remember that correctly.

There are plenty of reputable TCG dealers throughout the web, if you don't know where to look shoot me a PM and I'll share what I know.

Haha, I found this old thread from 2021 (WTB Old Pokemon Cards) and thought I might give it a shot. The thread starter has received several PMs and the current Pokemon trading card hype is even bigger. I am sure several people still have plenty of their old cards and want to get rid of them.

Ah perfect, that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming again!

Thank you for pointing this out. I currently buy most of my cards on eBay or from PokeRev. I love his live YouTube openings, but prices have skyrocketed lately as more and more big YouTubers and Twitch streamers have jumped on.

If you are interested in rare, old cards that are definitely genuine and in good condition, you should check him out. For example, on 2/9/2020 @5pm EST PokeRev opens Base Unlimited, Jungle 1st Edition, Fossil 1st Edition displays. Unfortunately, this opening is already sold out, but there will be another opening the week after.

In addition, there is another seller here on Bitcointalk: @hanspeter77 has a Pokemon shop on eBay and he's also selling his cards here on Bitcointalk. You can find his thread here: Pokemon Karten,Booster,Vintage,Display,s, und co. Graded Cards(soon). Unfortunately, he doesn't have the cards on sale right now that I'm looking for.


Anyway, I am still open for PM's if you have some old Pokemon cards for sale! Or feel free to post here in the thread.

Bump!  

The offer is still available. Feel free to post here or send me a PM (please include some decent photos.).

Have you tried eBay or other TCG websites? There ought to be something in some other online market places and to be honest with you, 1st editions of almost anything is difficult to be procured or to come by, they are either destroyed or they are at the hands of serious collectors. If I remember correctly, you are going to have collect the 1st edition, I hope that you aren't looking for holographic cards because you have to spend a lot of money on a Holographic 1st Edition Charizard.

Did you even read my post above? lol.

I currently buy most of my cards on eBay.

Yes, I have tried eBay. As stated before, I bought several lots on eBay already. I am also aware of the prices, of course.

I just bought three different 1st Edition lots within the last two weeks. It's obviously not as difficult as you make it sound. The market if currently full of sellers, who want to get rid of their "old" cards, since they heard of the recent price development. Of course, you can get holo cards as well.

So if someone wants to sell their cards for Bitcoin here is your opportunity.

I hope that you can get what you want, I am also looking for a Pokemon card but as I have mentioned in my other post which is the 1st Edition Holographic Charizard which is by far the most expensive card in the 1st edition.

Haha, okay no problem buddy!

Luckily, I own some of the 1st Edition Holos (Base Set, Fossil, Jungle) already. But of course you're right: The price for a 1st Edition Charizard is outrageous these days (at least for a PSA 6-10). But since I'm also looking for (hard) played cards, the price usually drops significantly for most holos.

My Father was selling those cards at the Fortitude Valley Markets (Circa 2010) and before that at the now defunct Redbank Woolen Mill Markets circa 1998-2005.

I'm heading over to his place on Sunday and see what he's got left (I know he's got NRL & AFL & ?NFL cards too, but am uncertain which are sets Vs singles.  As to 1st Edition etc, that I don't know, but will post pics next week.

Hey Timelord2067,

that sounds great! Thanks in advance for taking the photos. Please let me know if he has any Pokemon cards left to sell. I have bought some cards for my collection in the last few weeks, but I am still missing some.

Thanks in advance!

Hiya!

Sealed 1st Edition Fossil

Happy to go through Escrow if you like? Would you like to PM?
Thanks

[Timelord2067]

Hello again,

I've had a chat with my Father who's keen to help.  However, due to him not doing any markets for a few years now, all of the cards from that era are packed away.  So, he needs a little bit of time to find them.  Once he's done that, I'll head over and get some pics details etc.  If you find any elsewhere I'd suggest you get those first.

Hey there, thanks for your offer - but I am not looking for sealed boxes. Just out of curiosity: Where are you from? Europe? US?

Hey @Timelord2067, thanks for your reply. Don't worry, take your time. I have just bought two collections anyway and am still waiting for the packages. Therefore, there is no need to hurry.

Not exactly what you are looking for but here is a thread in collectibles that is up for auction figured I'd drop it here for in case someone is interested.

Hey @Steamtyme, thanks for the reminder. Indeed a really interesting auction. Thanks for letting me know!

Ah, thanks for letting me know. I thought about your offer, but unfortunately, I am not looking for sealed boosters or displays at this time. Thanks anyway!

OK, main image shows the various piles I've been sorting through.  The second image is a pile of some of what I've got to sort through...  Third and fourth images are some of the pages of cards which I've discovered my Father has inserted three or four cards per insert on every page. 

The majority of the cards are © 1999 - I'm going to have to get myself a magnifying glass to look at the various dots, stars, paws etc in various places.  There are very few 10 HP, not one 20 HP AT ALL some 30 HP (above the yellow energy cards), a large number of 40 HP (above the Purple energy), 50 HP.  Slightly less 60 HP (above the green energy cards) (moved down due to the afternoon shadow on the cards when I was trying to take the photos).  Much less 70 HP, less still 80 HP and almost no 90 HP or 100 HP cards.  The trainer cards is the largest pile at top right of image.  Even the energy cards have slight differences in the same colours - and I've only found just two grey energy while the other energy colours have dozens of cards.

Last pic is the box I'm still going through that have other sets - a truck load of Dragon Ball Z, Warlord Saga of the Storm, Magic The Gathering, DIGIMON, Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game, some Coca-Cola Collection,The Simpsons, Harry Potter Trading Card Game (all mixed in together with yet more Pokemon Cards) for some inexplicable reason) not to mention (not photographed, NRL, NFL, Australian Rules, Star Trek and Star Wars trading cards to name a few...

It might be better if you PM me a list of your wants.  I've looked on eBay and the prices are all over the place.

First selections goes to @bullrun2020bro then I'll open it up to other inquiries.  Payment in BTC and Escrow to be negotiated depending on the quantity ordered.  Postage will be from Australia with tracking.

*Note*, I will not do deals on these items on Telegram, Discord, Twitter, Facebook or any other platform.

Thanks a lot for sharing your collection here buddy! I just sent you a PM with a few more questions.

I beg to differ! I was involved with the sale of a Base set unlimited collection on here. You never know who has what!!
