Why Are Old Pokemon Cards So Expensive?
I managed to sell an old, rare card from the 90s for a hefty sum recently. Can confirm, the nostalgia factor is real. People are willing to pay big money for a piece of their childhood, especially if it's something as iconic as Pokemon cards.

Old Pokemon cards are so expensive because they're rare and in high demand. Think about it, when these cards first came out, no one predicted they'd be worth anything significant, so not many were preserved in good condition. Fast forward a few decades, and the nostalgia factor kicks in. All of a sudden, everyone wants a piece of their childhood back, but there just aren't enough mint condition cards to go around. Plus, some of these cards were limited edition or had very short print runs, making them even harder to find today.
Honestly, it's kinda like art collecting at this point. The older and rarer the card, the more expensive it gets. Some of these cards are like finding a Picasso in your attic.
It's all about scarcity and demand, my friends. Fewer mint condition old cards + tons of adults trying to recapture their youth = sky-high prices. Simple economics.
