Alright as always I look far and wide for whatever base set pokemon cards I can find, I decided to checkout craigslist after checking it a few weeks back and find a new posting less than 24 hours ago of a giant base set collection asking $350, the listing has over 300 cards and alot of potential valuable cards. I sent him a email asking to see the back of a few cards and decided to offer him $150 not knowing the exact condition of the rest of the collection, he agreed on $150 and are on the way. He says they are in excellent condition, check out these images and tell me what you think. I think I hit the jackpot on this deal if the cards are in nm/mint+
Thanks, still worried not seeing better pictures of the collection but I made sure to get some detailed pictures of the charizard, blastoise and venusaur.

These Trainers and rare/commons/un-commons are in amazing condition, All of them appear to be in PSA 9-10 condition. Here are some pictures of the lot.
