One of the questions that I get all the time is about the value of Pokemon Cards. Most parents, myself included, like to tell a story about how they used to own a special baseball card that would be worth tons of money by now, if only their Mom didn't throw it away. For me it wasn't a baseball card though it was my massive collection of Star Wars cards. Chewbacca's rookie card could probably pay off my mortgage by now.

So it's no surprise that there are Pokemon Trading Cards that fetch decent money. It seems that when Pokemon were riding their biggest wave of popularity in the late 90ies, that some cards were worth over $100.

With the economy in the toilet now, rare Pokemon cards are worth a lot less than they were before but there's still money to be made if you find a collector looking to buy the cards that you have.

Back they the Charizard card was the most valuable and for the most part, it still is one of the most valuable Pokemon Trading Cards.

So if you have one, be sure to hide it from your Mom before she throws it away.
