I remember when i was alot younger when pokemon cards were a big thing I found a hologram charizard and the dealer wouldve gave me 50 bucks. Thinking it would gain value later, I kept it. I still have it.

Have pokemon cards gone down in value alot? Are they still worth anything?

    The Pokemon craze peaked around Christmas of 2000. At it's high point, an original 1st edition Charizard was bringing $400-500 in premium condition, $75 for the Unlimited version. All the old sets of Pokemon have dropped off in the last 3-4 years as alot of the collectors and players migrated over to Yugioh. These days the Unl brings around $10-12 and the 1st edition maybe $40-50 IF you can find a buyer looking to fill a set.

    To be blunt, the Pokeman market imploded and burst into epic flames that lit up the card collecting world.

    1999 Edition Charizards graded Mint 9 by PSA sell for $15-$18 on eBay; 1st Editions go for roughly $75. Nothing else seems to be on eBay, and PSA-10s never seem to go up for sale except the Japanese and German edition cards. But I don't notice anyone bidding on them.

    For Pokemon cards to get popular again it's probably going to take 10-20 years so the kids who were hot on them originally can grow up, get jobs, and remember how much fun they had with them.
    When in doubt, don't.
