Ever wonder how much card show vendors will actually pay for your high-end Pokémon chase cards, or if they are just trying to rip you off?
In this video, I take some of the most sought-after modern Pokémon card, including the Team Rocket's Mewtwo EX, the Crown Zenith Giratina VSTAR, and the Ninja Spinner Mega Greninja EX, to a local card show to test the waters.
Having tabled (or vended) at card shows before, I know the overhead and margins vendors need to survive, but there is a hard line between a fair wholesale offer and a predatory lowball. I walk you through the real market values, record the live negotiations, and break down the offers to show you exactly why shopping around is the single most important thing you can do before liquidating your collection.
