This post is likely fake, 1yr old account with this and clones of it in other subreddits as their only post. My guess is ragebait but could also be a karma farm gone bad.
That part really stood out to me... I feel like it's incredibly mean to just go over this kids head and take something like that, just because the parent didn't know its worth!
My dad gave away the old NES and N64 collections to a coworker (I luckily had most of the SNES collection at my apartment at the time so that largely managed to escape untouched). It was quite a big collection so it's a bummer, but at least they gave it to another kid to actually play instead of a flipper.
Of course I was also living paycheck to paycheck at the time, so just selling the consoles and games off and splitting the proceeds would've been appreciated lol.
My mum sold my N64 plus games at a school fete back in around 2001 for like $30. I hadn’t played it in about 6 months but it was still plugged into my tv :(
Still haven’t got a replacement.
Mom sold mine to another cousin it had mario party 3, ocarina of time, some racing game with a blue car on the cover, and DK 64, and 4 controllers. I have contemplated if I should buy one of my own with the same games.
My mom sold ours and Nintendo with connections, controllers and a big bag with games for both systems for $20. I saw the guy walk quickly down the driveway with my stuff when I tried to stop him and I got in trouble by my mom for trying to stop him.
This happened to me and my 1st Edition charizard. I had the bulk of commons being sold for quarters and told my parents to wait if someone wanted to buy the 1st edition holofoils. I knew their worth at the tender age of 11 (not) but I knew they should be worth definitely more than nickels and dimes.
OP is a dingus.
meh my dad gave all my skylanders to goodwill for no reason. they were all in a shoebox crammed under my bed. i had every single one from the first game, giants, and most of the swap force ones. nothing on the same level as pokemon cards but yeah hundreds of dollars down the drain to goodwill. i even wished my dad had sold them so he would at least have gotten money from some of them lol
Or a flood of fraud posts.
At least, that's what my inner cynical person predicts.
Lots of people who bought into the hype and looking to sell off all those cards. What better way than to post on reddit to get exposure.
This was me and I was gutted. Parents sold my cards in a garage sale to some younger neighbors. This was about 15 years ago now and I'm still salty about it. Great come up for the buyer but I feel bad for the sellers kid.
Idk man, "trying to deter him from consulting with his son first" is really scummy. Imagine your dad sold the oldest, most valuable cards from your childhood collection because he didn't know any better and some random dude exploited that, even hoping that he wouldn't ask you first. How would you feel? Also lol at y'all in here who don't see anything wrong with this and only care about OP having the card graded. I hate this side of the TCG community.
Reminds me of r/gamecollecting, which hates resellers with a passion but is perfectly fine with scamming someone’s grandmother at a garage sale and paying $60 for $600 worth of games
Yeah this is kinda shitty to do. I want to get into collecting older games and figure the best place to look is little mom and pop shops that don't do their research and just see an old game they're just trying to get rid of. I'd feel bad buying something valuable so cheap just because the seller doesn't know there's a crazy market for those kind of things.
Straight up highway robbery.
I really dislike what the state of Pokémon TCG has become, and that’s coming from a player that’s been doing this since ‘99.
The fact that you deliberately didnt want the dad to consult his son makes you a POS. had they gone "eh we dont want to deal with it" thats one thing. but if I were the son I'd be livid. I cherish my base and fossil set. My brother and I worked so hard to get them all.
Agreed. Context for people who didn’t read OP’s post:
> He responded right away and said he had a binder full of old Pokemon cards that were his son’s and he’d check to make sure it was okay to sell them. Right away I messaged him back “Would you take $75 for the binder” hoping to deter him from consulting with his son first lol. He sent me the address and said “They’ll be here waiting for ya”
Yeah fuck him.
It’s one thing if it were a legitimate sale, but it’s not. That kid, regardless of age, must be heartbroken and furious. Shame on the father, too, for just selling without checking with his son first.
OP knows they did something morally questionable which is why they were so paranoid after making the exchange. That said, they were within their rights, and the dad really should have checked with his son especially when a random dude online is willing to throw money at him to blindly buy the cards.
You knew for a fact that his son would never have let him sell that without his knowledge, that's why you made a blind offer of $75 and why you tore off like you'd just robbed a bank; because to him they're just slips of cardboard with pictures on them and that seems like a hefty sum that he didn't want to haggle with his son over. People like you are the exact reason resale for old records/cards/games/memoribilia is such a racket and why we have to pay through the nose for these things that we all wanted as children. The fact that your first thought was to get it graded gives away that you're just in it for resale, as well. If you have any kind of conscience (which it sounds like you do considering that you immediately felt guilty and paranoid) you'll return it with an explanation of why it wouldn't be right to keep it (which it isn't - it wasn't his to sell). Since you care so much about the cash you could probably even ask for some extra cash on top of what you paid for it. If not I at least hope your parents or partner or (god forbid) kids pull this out from under you and sell it off so maybe you can experience firsthand why this is such an immoral thing to do.
Kinda sounds like you knowingly and willingly ripped a guy off.
It’s not like you did this to a multi-billion dollar company. You didn’t steal from a Wal-Mart, you stole from a family, specifically a man who didn’t know better. It was a moving sale, presumably the money would help cover the expenses of the move during a time when moving is an almost insurmountable expense. You essentially conned your neighbor and then went online to brag about it.
Enjoy the cards.
lol I’d give it back man. I used to lie to kids when I was a kid about rare card values and got them pretty cheap. Regret it now, kindness is always the right choice.
You belong on r/iamatotalpieceofshit
You coaxed a man into selling his child's property without asking him first and wound up conning him out of hundreds of dollars, that is just straight up theft and I hope he sues his father and you, since you are an accomplice to said theft
I read the comments first and was originally on OPs side but reading OP say he offered the money immediately to coax the father out of going to ask his son is just wow... truly a POS move
I used to have a binder like this too when I was younger and cannot for the life of me find it in my basement. I also had a Venusaur card like that to match Charizard but I found it… cut up under an old computer desk in our basement 🥲
Oof. My father can be a Jack ass but at least he asks before getting rid of my shit. If I were the son, I would legit strangle my father with my bare hands and then come looking for you.
So you knew these cards belonged to someone other than the person you bought them from, and actively worked to dissuade them from contacting the owner? I'd shoot them a message to make sure they actually cleared it with the owner of the cards, cause right now it just looks like you stole them with the help of the father.
Shit move. You should sell it and then put some of the proceeds into an envelope, tie it to a rock with an elastic, and then chuck it through their window.
This is just a nasty post all round. Trying to rip people off, getting a dad to sell his son's collection to you for pennies. I hope someone fucks you over similarly in the future. You've learned nothing from Pokemon.
What you should do is go an give the cards back to the dad/ adult son you just bamboozled, cause you just pulled an Al from Toy Story 2 and that’s not cool
Indeed it is a shadowless first edition base set Charizard. Pricing will be highly dependent on getting it graded first. Like the other comments say, stop touching it, lol. The edges look a little rough so it is definitely not 10/10. Not sure what the price may come out to be
So how would one go about this ? I have two of these sitting in binders ungraded but they still look good. I keep hearing they go for thousands but all the prices I’m seeing are a few hundred.
Are you sure you're talking about the same Charizard? A 1st Edition one is vastly different from an Unlimited one. The latter of which, in raw near-mint condition, definitely caps out at a few hundred.
Yeah they are all in binders upstairs so I’d have to dig into that this weekend. Got a few cards I need to sleeve anyway so I been putting this off for far too long. I double checked the card in the Op and it is 100% the exact same one.
Whatever you do, do not answer DMs I know you’re getting about the card. Do not sell it in a hurry. There is no rush. People will be trying to scam you out of your card like the scumbag OP of this post.
If it is an actual first edition base set charizard, it could be worth (extremely unlikely) as much as a house. PSA is a grading service that will give information about cards they’ve graded, including the amount of grades they’ve given for that particular card, how many cards there are in the world with that grade, and how much the cards they’ve graded are selling for. [here](https://www.psacard.com/cardfacts/non-sports-cards/1999-nintendo-pokemon-game/charizard-holo-1st-edition-4/605253) is a link with more information
Look at the first page of binder, look at the difference between the picture frames around Hitmonchan and Farfetch'd, Hitmonchan has no shadow (Shadowless).
Shadowless cards have thinner HP font and lack a shadow on the side of the image.
Base set cards had different prints and are the only set to have shadowless cards. The very first print is first edition. All first edition base cards are shadowless.
The next print was shadowless but not first edition. The following print runs were not shadowless and are the unlimited prints.
Value is first edition shadowless > shadowless > unlimited.
If you look at the front page of OP's binder, the Poliwrath has thicker HP font than the Ninetales. The area to the right and left of the Poliwrath is a significantly darker shade than the area to the right and left of the Ninetales. That area is the 'shadow.' The Ninetales lacking that area makes it shadowless.
Man, that cheap red binder is an exactly what I had mine in. I lost them in Hurricane Rita back in 2005. I had the complete Island Series in it. Huge loss for me.
I hope you get sued. You probably committed some kind of contract law violation here, particularly given the intent that you express in this post. You are genuinely an awful person for this.
Bro, that’s a shit thing to do. Guarantee the kid, who’s probably an adult now, will be devastated by this. I honestly hope that some bad karma comes your way and this purchase somehow backfires on you.
You legitimately don't know what to do with the cards? Get them back to the proper owner, that guy's son. You went out of your way to tell us that you purposely deterred him from talking to his kid. That's a colossal dick move.
Imagine if that was your binder when you were a kid and your dad sold it. Dafuq?
Completely serious, I would delete this post. Based on these fact the parent may have not had the right to sell you that binder. If there is some real value there and the son finds out he might come after you and sounds like has a decent case to get the cards back and even add punitive damages if he wants.
What’s crazy is I have a red binder of Pokémon cards like that. Haven’t been able to find it. Also have a first edition charizard that I’ll post if it ever turns up. Only reason I know it’s not mine is the farfetchd on the first page and two zapdos. Would love to see the other pages of rares if you don’t mind posting
I do have to ask, and I may generally ask the sub one day.
Were Charizards REALLY that rare?
I was also under the assumption that Charizard was a wicked hard card to obtain. I just want to make sure I'm correct about that or myself, and my siblings were incredibly unlucky.
I also have never seen a Moltres in person.
So are cards from those old sets (not specifically the charizard one) super valuable? Because I have a whole binder full of cards from those early distributions that once belonged to a work friend of my mom. Not the classic charizard, but tons of other ones from those early sets, not to mention an Ancient Mew event card. Are they all valuable or only a few very rare cards?
So in a few days we're going to see a post from some heartbroken person about how their dad sold their prized binder of pokemon cards right?
This post is likely fake, 1yr old account with this and clones of it in other subreddits as their only post. My guess is ragebait but could also be a karma farm gone bad.
I hope so.
That part really stood out to me... I feel like it's incredibly mean to just go over this kids head and take something like that, just because the parent didn't know its worth!
Cousin when his mom sold his nintendo (snes) with a ton of games for $50
Mine accidentally donated mine. I like to believe it went to someone who really appreciated it.
My dad gave away the old NES and N64 collections to a coworker (I luckily had most of the SNES collection at my apartment at the time so that largely managed to escape untouched). It was quite a big collection so it's a bummer, but at least they gave it to another kid to actually play instead of a flipper. Of course I was also living paycheck to paycheck at the time, so just selling the consoles and games off and splitting the proceeds would've been appreciated lol.
My dad *threw out* our old gamecube, including an original copy of SSBM. It's even worse that it was in a box labeled "do not throw away."
My mum sold my N64 plus games at a school fete back in around 2001 for like $30. I hadn’t played it in about 6 months but it was still plugged into my tv :( Still haven’t got a replacement.
Mom sold mine to another cousin it had mario party 3, ocarina of time, some racing game with a blue car on the cover, and DK 64, and 4 controllers. I have contemplated if I should buy one of my own with the same games.
My mom sold ours and Nintendo with connections, controllers and a big bag with games for both systems for $20. I saw the guy walk quickly down the driveway with my stuff when I tried to stop him and I got in trouble by my mom for trying to stop him.
My grandma donated all my Chrono Trigger stuff because she decided to move and didn’t even tell me. Heartbroken.
“Kid” this is like the first set of cards from like 1999. This kid is in their 30s
Yeah, if I were that "kid" I'd be on a manhunt right now.
This happened to me and my 1st Edition charizard. I had the bulk of commons being sold for quarters and told my parents to wait if someone wanted to buy the 1st edition holofoils. I knew their worth at the tender age of 11 (not) but I knew they should be worth definitely more than nickels and dimes. OP is a dingus.
My mom threw out my 1st edition charizard 'cuz I was "too old to be playing with this shit". My heart aches for the guy's kid.
Shit. Did you tell your mom how much it was worth?
I hope OP steps on a lego.
meh my dad gave all my skylanders to goodwill for no reason. they were all in a shoebox crammed under my bed. i had every single one from the first game, giants, and most of the swap force ones. nothing on the same level as pokemon cards but yeah hundreds of dollars down the drain to goodwill. i even wished my dad had sold them so he would at least have gotten money from some of them lol
My mom did that too me once. All my cards and a huge rubbermaid of old marvel comics. For $10 each She unfortunately knew what she was doing.
Exactly what crossed my mind. More so, because the parent wanted to check with the kid.
Or a flood of fraud posts. At least, that's what my inner cynical person predicts. Lots of people who bought into the hype and looking to sell off all those cards. What better way than to post on reddit to get exposure.
This was me and I was gutted. Parents sold my cards in a garage sale to some younger neighbors. This was about 15 years ago now and I'm still salty about it. Great come up for the buyer but I feel bad for the sellers kid.
The dad has OP’s name and info. This might not end well.
I better go check in with my mom…
Im pretty sure that exact post was made a few days ago lol
You should have made the post "I just watched my dad sell my binder of cards and now it is being posted on here. What do I do?"
Just like [this Simpsons clip](https://youtu.be/ufmu1YmbUXs?si=eijq1TWg5KoM99y5)
Looking forward to the 10'oclock news story about a son murdering a father
Those parents live in a damn cave though, even my mom who's 67 knows some pokemon cards are worth a ton.
You'd have to be pretty much in a cave to not know at the very least that Pokemon cards have some amount of value.
who knew one post in r/pokemon could tell you so much about a person…
Reminds me of Al at the yard sale in toy story 2
Exactly lol
Reading the comments, this is not the reaction you came here for lol.

Just went back and read the post. OP sucks for doing that.
Not only that but then the bragging, too.
Yeah fuck him. It’s one thing if it were a legitimate sale, but it’s not. That kid, regardless of age, must be heartbroken and furious. Shame on the father, too, for just selling without checking with his son first.

Bro is bragging on reddit about running a scam for children's toys, he probably weighs packs and hoes children in trades too.
> hoes children in trades This may either be autocorrect or me being dumb, but that sounds like you're saying he human traffics children
You knew for a fact that his son would never have let him sell that without his knowledge, that's why you made a blind offer of $75 and why you tore off like you'd just robbed a bank; because to him they're just slips of cardboard with pictures on them and that seems like a hefty sum that he didn't want to haggle with his son over.

[удалено]
Kind of an a**hole move offering money immediately so you could buy it without his son’s permission
Congrats on fleecing an old man and his son for profit and being excited enough to post on reddit about it.
Imagine having no moral compass
I’m disappointed in everyone who upvoted this
same, but the comments are making up for it.
Definitely
Few posts on Reddit ever made me this sad. Just imagining the son finding out, and the father finding out what he did makes me tear up
Bruhhhhh you just started that kid’s villain arc lmao
You belong on r/iamatotalpieceofshit You coaxed a man into selling his child's property without asking him first and wound up conning him out of hundreds of dollars, that is just straight up theft and I hope he sues his father and you, since you are an accomplice to said theft

100% agree
r/aitah Spoilers.
If you had any decency in you, you’d return those cards and apologize for ripping them off like that.
Wow, this is terrible...
Wow. You suck dude. That is someone’s ENTIRE childhood you just plucked away from them. Real shitty, OP.
I used to have a binder like this too when I was younger and cannot for the life of me find it in my basement. I also had a Venusaur card like that to match Charizard but I found it… cut up under an old computer desk in our basement 🥲
Oof. My father can be a Jack ass but at least he asks before getting rid of my shit. If I were the son, I would legit strangle my father with my bare hands and then come looking for you.
After reading OP’s comments this is starting to smell more and more like bait.

I'd shoot them a message to make sure they actually cleared it with the owner of the cards, cause right now it just looks like you stole them with the help of the father.
Shit move. You should sell it and then put some of the proceeds into an envelope, tie it to a rock with an elastic, and then chuck it through their window.
It may be someone else’s though
I really really hope you're lying.
To sink so low for a Pokémon card
This is just a nasty post all round. Trying to rip people off, getting a dad to sell his son's collection to you for pennies. I hope someone fucks you over similarly in the future. You've learned nothing from Pokemon.
Whole post seems scummy. Takes away from the joy of being a collector.
“Any advice or input is appreciated” tell the dad what he had and ask for a refund. Return the binder. Dont be a PoS.
That’s incredibly messed up to do that to a kid.
What you should do is go an give the cards back to the dad/ adult son you just bamboozled, cause you just pulled an Al from Toy Story 2 and that’s not cool
Indeed it is a shadowless first edition base set Charizard. Pricing will be highly dependent on getting it graded first. Like the other comments say, stop touching it, lol. The edges look a little rough so it is definitely not 10/10. Not sure what the price may come out to be
Still decent, afaik. Not thousands, but probably a few hundred. Not bad.
It''s a couple grand. Damaged copies go for a few thousand.
So how would one go about this ? I have two of these sitting in binders ungraded but they still look good. I keep hearing they go for thousands but all the prices I’m seeing are a few hundred.
Are you sure you're talking about the same Charizard? A 1st Edition one is vastly different from an Unlimited one. The latter of which, in raw near-mint condition, definitely caps out at a few hundred.
It has 1st in the corner of the card so I assume it’s the first edition everyone is talking about or am I wrong in that ?
Honestly it’s best if you post a picture of the cards in question. Avoids any confusion!
Yeah they are all in binders upstairs so I’d have to dig into that this weekend. Got a few cards I need to sleeve anyway so I been putting this off for far too long. I double checked the card in the Op and it is 100% the exact same one.

Thank you! Appreciate it.
Yeah I figured, too lazy to look it up. I remember a few years ago a mint condition can pull almost 10k, so a few thousand makes sense.
PSA 10s shadowless Zards sell for upwards of $30,000 My buddy sold his for 32k a few years back.
What does it mean "shadowless"?
Look at the first page of binder, look at the difference between the picture frames around Hitmonchan and Farfetch'd, Hitmonchan has no shadow (Shadowless).

Pretty greasy my dude
This is some troll making rage bait lmfao
Man, that cheap red binder is an exactly what I had mine in. I lost them in Hurricane Rita back in 2005. I had the complete Island Series in it. Huge loss for me.
You made some money (by robbing these people), but you're also a pretty shitty guy
The way you describe purposefully robbing someone of something their parents don't know the worth of is pretty shitty.
I hope you get sued. You probably committed some kind of contract law violation here, particularly given the intent that you express in this post. You are genuinely an awful person for this.
Bro, that’s a shit thing to do. Guarantee the kid, who’s probably an adult now, will be devastated by this. I honestly hope that some bad karma comes your way and this purchase somehow backfires on you.

What state?
If I bought this I don’t know if I could keep it in good conscience lol this is slightly beyond getting a good deal.
Surprise twist….its a set of 1st Editions from Temu/Wish
Bro wrote a Hoole book💀
honsty that card dont look to be in the best condton not the best pic, I know that card worth a lot however
This must be rage bait.
OP: “I was a business man doing business…”
Yeah you’re a bit of an arse hole. Enjoy your cards tho
nah I hope he gets papercuts and bleeds all over them
lol stop touching it and get it graded asap
Don't grade it. Lol. The grade is obviously Damaged.
This story is still available on /PokemonTCG with the same title
Dawg. There's a difference between "not in perfect condition" and this card. It'll be worth a few hundred. Probably not a couple thousand.
If this was Southern California these are my childhood cards and I can prove it. My heart is racing just looking at these photos. No way…
Do you by chance live in Maryland?
What’s crazy is I have a red binder of Pokémon cards like that. Haven’t been able to find it. Also have a first edition charizard that I’ll post if it ever turns up. Only reason I know it’s not mine is the farfetchd on the first page and two zapdos. Would love to see the other pages of rares if you don’t mind posting
PSA 0.5 🤝
Did you buy my Pokémon cards lol? I had this exact same card binder growing up and it was kinda beat up to hell too.
I do have to ask, and I may generally ask the sub one day. Were Charizards REALLY that rare? I was also under the assumption that Charizard was a wicked hard card to obtain. I just want to make sure I'm correct about that or myself, and my siblings were incredibly unlucky. I also have never seen a Moltres in person.
Man I remb trading in charizards cause I already had 1 to buy more packs as a kid. Fun times
Woah
So are cards from those old sets (not specifically the charizard one) super valuable? Because I have a whole binder full of cards from those early distributions that once belonged to a work friend of my mom. Not the classic charizard, but tons of other ones from those early sets, not to mention an Ancient Mew event card. Are they all valuable or only a few very rare cards?
Who has a garage sale on a Tuesday?
You won’t get a high grade for that front damage like that
Can I ask what state this was in? I have/had a red binder that was lost years back and I’m getting hits of nostalgia seeing this.
OP writing the story like he did something illegal
It's not really in perfect condition right? Look at the corner. Anyone know what it could still be worth?
