Man defrauded the government $57,000 after using the money he got foe a fake business to buy a First Edition Base Set Charizard Pokemon Card.

Was that you Duncan? Sounds like something youd do.

That card will fetch him a lot of cigs in prison

In middle school this kid tried to sell me a pokemon card that was 'alledgedly' holographic charizard.

It was only like 40 bucks, but the card went through the washing machine, so it was 96% white, bent, and could barely tell it was even a pokemon card in the first place.

Now I regret not buying that priceless wonder.

a guy on my facebook posted a charizard card for $10k a few months ago, he's since lowered it to $3k.

It's all well and good to have these valuable cards but I don't think it's easy finding people willing to actually pay good money for them

I dont think Facebook is the right place to sell items as high value as those.

Nah, the rarest card I have is a Base Set First Edition Pidgeot card that's probably worth like $50 at most.

Dang, I still have like 3 books of old ones from when I was a kid in the 90's. Wonder if any of them are worth anything anymore.
