Alright, let’s gab about them Pokemon movie cards, the ones that them young’uns are always yappin’ about. Folks say some of ’em are worth a pretty penny, enough to buy a whole heap of chickens, maybe even a cow or two!
I heard tell of a Pikachu card, one of them “Illustrator” ones. Now, I ain’t no artist, but apparently, this picture of that little yellow critter is somethin’ special. They say one of them cards, all shiny and perfect like, went for more money than I ever seen in my life! Millions of dollars, they say! Can you believe that? For a little piece of cardboard!
- Pikachu Illustrator – Them city folk say this one’s the king of the hill, worth a whole farm, maybe more. Heard it fetched over five million dollars! Land sakes!
- Victory Orb Mew Trophy Card – Now this one, they say it was given out at some fancy-pants tournament over in Japan. Not many of ’em around, so they’re worth a good bit, thousands they say. Enough to fix the tractor, for sure.
Then there’s them Topps movie cards from back in ’99. I remember seein’ them kids tradin’ ’em around, didn’t think much of it then. Now, some of them cards, especially if they’re all crisp and clean, can get you a nice chunk of change. Enough to buy a new washing machine, maybe even one of them fancy refrigerators with the ice maker.
Some folks are all about gettin’ them cards graded. That means they send ’em off to some company and them experts look at ’em real close. They give it a number, like a score. The higher the number, the better the shape it’s in, and the more it’s worth. Makes sense, I guess. Nobody wants a beat-up, dog-eared card, just like nobody wants a bruised apple.
I saw on that there internet thing, they got lists of the “most valuable Pokemon cards”. Hundreds of ’em! Some of them are from the movies, some ain’t. It’s a whole world I never knew nothin’ about. They talk about cards bein’ in “flawless condition,” and gettin’ big money for ’em. One fella got over a hundred thousand dollars for a card in perfect shape! That’s enough to buy a whole new house!
It ain’t just the old cards neither. Some of them new ones, they can be valuable too. You just never know. It’s like lookin’ for gold in the creek bed, I reckon. Sometimes you find a little nugget, sometimes you find nothin’ at all.
So, if you got a bunch of them Pokemon movie cards stashed away in a box somewhere, might be worth dustin’ ’em off and takin’ a look. You might just have a little gold mine sittin’ right there in your attic. But don’t go gettin’ your hopes up too high, now. Most of them ain’t worth nothin’ more than a few pennies. But hey, it’s always fun to dream, ain’t it?
And remember, it ain’t all about the money. Them cards, they bring back memories for folks. Reminds ’em of bein’ a kid, tradin’ cards with their friends, havin’ fun. And that’s worth somethin’ too, I reckon.
So that’s the lowdown on them Pokemon movie cards, as best as I can figure it. It’s a crazy world, this Pokemon thing, but it sure is interestin’. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens.
Anyways if you’re lookin to sell, do your homework and don’t let no one pull the wool over your eyes. That’s all I got to say about it.
