How’s it foing folks? This is probably pretty obscure but I’m looking to buy cards just as the title says (example below). I own 3 fossil cards with yellow ink smears on them, I just got my 3rd today! I assume since I own some that some other folks might as well, I hope so at least! After getting my third today I think it’d be cool to collect a set or something. I’m not too concerned on condition as long as it isn’t like folded in half or cut in half or has like a hole punched in it. I also don’t know what worth these hold whatsoever, so I’m thinking like $1-$5 a card? I can pay PayPal, check by mail, cash by mail, whateverrrr. Thanks for looking and I look forward to hearing from anybody! God bless
It’s going to be tough to motivate people to sell a unique card for $1-5. I’ve bought and sold Haunters and Hitmonlees well above $100 this year. My last loose Hitmonlee purchase was for $243.50. I’ve followed the yellow stain fossil cards closely, and they really don’t come up that often. A friend/someone on this site broke a record for the highest purchase price of one when he bought the PSA 10 Lapras.
If you were interested in selling, I believe you would get good value through eBay.
Well the ones I have are slightly different then the haunter/hitmonlee cards, its either a different shade of yellow or it just looks different because, in my case (all 3 I have are water types) it’s on a blue card. I have never seen the lapras one though!
I know the “cigar” hitmonlee and the “blue ink smear” haunter are higher priced cards, but I didn’t think that non holo commons and uncommons would be. I would be willing to pay more, I just had no idea where to begin.
Anyway thanks a ton for chiming in dude! Do you know if all cards in the fossil set are susceptible to these random ink errors?
By the way I follow your YouTube channel dude, your collection is so gnarly! I really enjoy your videos and the knowledge you bring forth in them!
IMO, based on other card markets over the last 100 years, damaged cards have no legs. If you can get hundreds for yours, sell…but not to someone you like lol.
Now the Cigar Hitmonlee is a different story. That was my card for over a dozen years and I’d put it into a different category than an easily duplicated splotch;)
Keep in mind, this is just my opinion and there are some that disagree but like most things, time will tell.
So damaged cards are basically lieutenant Dan huh? Haha. I have no plans to sell mine, after randomly encountering 2 in collections I bought and then finding one on eBay, I thought it would be cool to start seeking them out. Do you have any knowledge on the yellow ink smears Gary? Do you know if the ones on commons and uncommons i have encountered are the same deal as the ones on holos that are notable?
