Price estimate

[crazypokemon]

What about the top/bottom halfs i see they go for about $20
Should i get these holos graded? would that help me or hurt me?

Okay so normal non Ultra Rare holos only go for a few bucks - $1-$3. Occasionally there will be holos that go for more, as they are usually good for competitive playing or something. Ultra Rares are where the money is at when it comes to set cards.

The Arceus AR cards are called Hidden or Secret Rares - they outnumber the set or have a different numbering system. Out of all of these, it's usually the ones that outnumber the set that go for more - they commonly go $10+. The different numbered cards usually don't go past $3. The only ones that do are the Call of Legend shinies and a few SH cards. The Arceus cards are all around $1-$2, but a completed set however can get around $25-$30.


Now, to give you a reason why no one wants to give you a price estimate like you are asking for. You are asking for normal common cards that you yourself can just look up. Why would we waste our time looking up normal cards that you could look up easily yourself? The main point of this forum is to offer advice on how to price your cards and to actually give prices on cards you can't price yourself. So, you can price most, probably all, of the cards you've listed, which defeats the purpose of anyone here giving you prices.
Now, your last post about grading your top/bottom Legend cards is a good example of a question for this particular forum. You know the price of the card (although $20 is high for any Legend piece), but you don't know if grading it is worth it. Here is where the community steps in and offers their advice on your situation, as it isn't really something you can just Google by yourself.
Personally, I don't think you should get your Legend pieces graded. Right now, there are no D&P cards and up that are worth grading. Maybe the newest Shiny cards, but that's it. The main cards to grade would be the older Shining and Gold Star cards, as well as Base Set and Neo holos, and then rare English and Japanese promos. This is of course coming from a sellers point of view. If you really want a card graded because you like the card or whatever, then go ahead. But yeah, most of the newer Ultra Rares only double or so in value when graded.

So if i sold every card i pulled from arceus/undaunted all the common,uncommon,rare,holo ultra rare holo and reverse holo can i make even or profit from the original cost that it took to buy the booster in the first place?

At this rate its gonna be impossible to afford a 1st ed base booster box

if you did it earlier in the year it would help abit but right now since the roation has been announced for the next format the prices for most of the cards have gone drastically down alot.legend pieces full ones go for at least 10-15 sometimes 20 but only certain ones.grading legend pieces is not worth it since the market for them has been drowing.a full legend piece graded about 2-3 months back didnt end very high at all.its not gonna be impossible all you have to do is save up do your research and get rid of cards you know you will not collect.just have your priorities straightned out thats all.you also got to look at it in the long run will your cards make you money in the future or not.thats how you get the money.the more off track you get the more your chances of getting the booster box will slim down

Generally speaking, opening a single box will not lead to profit.
To make money, you need to work at it.

Bulk prices right now are at a all time low, and you basically are sitting on a pile of junk, with a few gems.
Arceus cards aren't worth a lot, the legends, I'd say with the new rotation, they will all be $3-5 after it... Lv Xs are the highest cards you want, but generally speaking, no one wants to shell out $10 for an old rotated card

Guys, keep this about the pricing of the cards. Leave personal feelings out of this.

If you feel someone should be googling something, simply don't reply to the post.

I bought about 30 PSA 9/10 Legend cards for $10-$15 apiece in auction a while back. I would not recommend grading these as I have resold roughly 10 of them for prices that are only around double that. If you sent them off to PSA yourself you would be looking at $10+ per card(including shipping, cost per, etc) just to have it graded unless you went with a decently sized order.

There does not seem to much if hardly any demand for PSA graded legend cards. IMO most would want legend cards because they want them for a deck or to complete a set, in both cases grading the cards would not increase the interest unless it is a rich collector.

If possible to make money on the cards you listed it will take some time and effort like anything else
