hello - have the opportunity to buy locally from a guy that has complete Series 1, Series 2, (possibly series 3 but he’s not sure) TOPPS pokemon set, he also has the complete foil set of Series 1 and 2. He also has complete Mewtwo Strikes Back set and Movie 2000 complete set…he says he’s opened thousands and thousands of cards and put them in a box 20 years ago so I wish I had more concrete info but anyone have any idea what a complete foil and non foil set of Series 1 and Series 2 TOPPS would go for? I’m trying to find info on eBay and I have no idea what I’m looking at it’s like looking at chinese, but I don’t want to pass up an opportunity if they really are worth something. Any help would be appreciated I looked at threads with “TOPPS” in the name and I’m still lost ha. If someone can just point me to a guide or something on it that would help too. Thank you!
I should be able to help you.
All the following are low estimates
The non foil series 1/2 sets maybe go around 20-40 USD
the foil versions maybe around 50-100
mewtwo sets are lower
series 3 is significantly higher
there are different variations though which arent exactly that easy to identify if you don’t know what to look for
There is definitely some money to be made off of these sets as there is definitely an interest. If you want to pm me I can help you identify everything that you have and give you some more specific info.
Bunch of Topps sets listings here. Just searched closed listings “topps pokemon set”. You can easily search active too.
Yeah I talked to the guy again today (very interesting guy) he has HUNDREDS of complete sets of each, this guy was ridiculous. I’m going to buy his 15 foil versions of series 1 and 2 to start but I mean the guy has so much it’s ridiculous. He also has 75 COMPLETE sets of EVERY set of WOTC from base through the gym heroes. I’m going to need to ask him about those ha. He says he has approx 700 boxes each with 5000 cards for everything from Pokemon to Spiderman to Star Trek for every single TCG. I’m kind of stunned how much inventory this guy has. He says he recently sold 2 boxes each with 5000 foil ancient mews (from the movie) and to someone. Someone has 10,000 ancient mews sitting around right now LOL. I’m interested in meeting him on Sunday.
What city is he in?
This sounds incredible! Would love to hear what treasures you find when you meet Sunday.
If he has the Topps Johto or Topps Advanced sets, please let me know.
