Anybody know of trading card stores in the NW?

I've recently discovered my Pokemon card collection which has quite a few rares and shiny's.

I haven't got a clue what they are worth so I'm guessing it will be easier selling to a store than online?

eBay?

I've had a look but most people selling on there seem to know what they are worth and most of properly graded.

Suppose I could just try to sell the job lot and hope for the best.


Pity I don't have this! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POKEMON-1998-PIKACHU-ILL...

Drop me a PM if they're still available? Might be able to sort out a deal that works for us both

I recently bought a load of pokemon cards off ebay to make some wall art/collage type thing

I used to have thousands but gave them all away to my neighbours young kid, I wonder how bad form it would be to ask for them back

There's a Forbidden Planet in Liverpool (only branch in NW). They sell all sorts of trading cards, collectibles etc.

Might be worth ringing them and asking if they know of any shops that deal cards.

The Birmingham branch that I use is adjacent to an indoor market full of little stores selling that kinda of thing - the one has tables set out for people to play and has little tournaments etc, and I think there's a bit of collaboration between the two.

Failing that, find a similar sized collection on eBay and stick yours on for a similar price (BIN or offers) if you just want them shifted.

Crazy prices.

Hope there was nothing rare stuck to this bass I bought a while ago.

I dropped Forbidden Planet a message and they don't buy any single cards.

I'll try and do some research on values, I've looked up a few and I don't have anything super rare but I think together there is some value in what I've got.

I have a Charizard.. That's all that matters!

Not bad form at all! He will tell you (supressing a snigger), that he sold them on Ebay for £4000.

You could try Harlequins. They have a shop in Preston & Blackpool. I know they hold weekly TCG tournaments (M:tG & Yu-Gi-Oh for definite)

More than likely! I had American and Japanese cards in there too from family members who lived over there and sent me a pack or 2 as often as every week at one point

Damn my giving nature as a child!
