How to tell if Pokemon cards are worth money
First off, check the rarity symbol! It's usually at the bottom of the card - a circle means common, a diamond is uncommon, and a star means it's rare. Holo or foil cards are generally worth more, especially if they're in mint condition. Also, first editions and cards from the original sets (like Base Set) can fetch a pretty penny. Don’t forget to look up the card's current market value on sites like TCGplayer or eBay for a rough estimate!

Just look for the shiny ones, lol. But seriously, condition matters a LOT. Even a rare card can be worthless if it's in bad shape.
Honestly, it's all about rarity and condition. Some cards might look cool but are worth next to nothing, while others that seem mundane could be super rare. Always double-check!
My first ever rare was a holographic Charizard. Thought I hit the jackpot, but it was pretty beaten up. Checked its value and... let's just say condition is key. A pristine card vs. a worn one can be the difference between a fortune and pocket change.
