I came across a guy near me, who’s a fellow collector and he has a few unopened booster of the base set as well as neo discovery, Fossil, gym heroes, team rocket, jungle, base 2, and gym challenge.
He seems to have kept all his things in very very good condition.
His pricing is:
Base Set $60/p
Jungle $25 /p (or $22.50 as an add on)
Fossil $24 /p (or $21.50 as an add on)
Base 2 $25/p (or $22.50 as an add on)
Team Rocket $25 /p (or $22.50 as an add on)
Gym Heroes $28 (or $25.00 as an add on)
Gym Challenge $28 (or $25.00 as an add on)
Neo Discovery $37 (or $35 as an add on)
I’m wondering if it’s be a good idea to go in on some of these since I’m still pretty new. I plan to collect the base set at some point very slowly. Will these packs contain 1st editions since they’re the Base set (1?) Packs? To my understanding base set 2 has no first editions while base set (1?) Has all first editions.
People can weigh the packs with scales to get a rough idea if there is a good card inside or not. I doubt you will find any holographic cards in the packs he has if he’s a collector who knows his stuff.
The only base set packs with 1st edition cards are the 1st edition base packs. Those packs go for around $1000.
