Identifying valuable Pokémon cards is like being a treasure hunter! First off, look for rarity symbols: Common (a circle), Uncommon (a diamond), and Rare (a star). Also, keep your eyes peeled for holographic cards, as they're usually worth more. Edition matters too—first edition marks (a little '1' symbol) can up the value. And don't forget about condition; a mint card is worth way more than a worn one. Finally, special cards like Full Art, EX, GX, V, and VMAX are usually more valuable. Happy hunting!

Just look for the shiny ones! Kidding, but not really. Holographic cards or those with special features (like full art or special editions) tend to be worth more. Also, older = rarer = potentially more valuable. But it's all about the condition. A bent old card isn't going to pay the bills.

It's all about the hype. Sure, symbols and shine matter, but what's really valuable changes based on what the community is buzzing about. One day, everyone wants a Charizard, the next, it's all about Pikachu. Keep an ear to the ground.

Honestly, sometimes it's just pure luck finding a valuable card, but rarity symbols, holographic shine, and edition marks are your best clues. Condition is king, though!
