1996 Japanese Base set - Pricing/Sourcing

Hi Team,

I dont look much into Japanese cards but I stumbled across something for sale.

Its this Japanese base set mewtwo holo but on sites like, pokedata, price charting, etc there are very different prices compared to ebay sales.

To me it seems pokedata isnt reliable for older japanese sets anyway.

The question isnt about the specific card, although that would be helpful but, where do you go to research cards/sets you dont know much about? I buy a majority of raw cards in person and people with old cards usually have interesting binders, Im coming across a few distressed sellers and they want me to buy their entire binder lately.

Thanks

TCG Collector is a great resource for checking JP and EN set lists. It’s not 100% complete but still solid

Serebii is also another great resource. Personally I don’t like the interface as much but a lot of people use it

TCG Fish for checking price of graded slabs

Pkmncards for searching by artist

The best app for what you are trying to do is the app “ALT”

You can take a screenshot of the slab you want prices for and upload the photo to find price data

Or

You can simply type in the cert number.

It’s been my favorite app by far for looking for prices.

Do you have a website link? Can’t seem to find this app/site.

Try this link, I wonder if it’s only available for iPhone users :thinking:

I found it easily on the ios app store

I’m older and more useless than my smooth snake skinned avatar appears.
