Pokemon First Edition Find

[Dominator]

Hi all Pokemon experts.

I recently(yesterday) came across some Pokemon First Edition sealed boxes. I knew these were pretty rare and valuable, but wasn't totally sure what they are selling for these days. I was happily surprised to see some of the completed sales on eBay! I have everything pictured below. I was hoping for some opinions on what to do with them as my goal is to make some $ from them. Open them and sell singles? Sell the full boxes? Open the smaller boxes and sell the full bigger boxes? I already opened 1 of the small Jungle sets and 1 small Zap set to see what was inside. I think maybe grading those Pikachu cards inside would be a good investment? I also see that single packs are selling really well? Anyways, have a look and see what you guys think.

Thanks,
Pete

Keep the boxes sealed and sell them. Unless the cards from boxes get graded with HIGH grades you will loose big time on opening them.

Just looking at some of the sold boxes on eBay, I hope you didn't pay near those prices! :laugh:

But if you paid significantly less, I would keep them sealed and sell them as is. Too much of a gamble looking for that one Charizard or something.
