Base Set FAQ

Selling Base Set cards — common questions

  • How much can I get for my Base Set cards?

    Single-card offers depend on rarity and condition — chase pulls from Base Set land in the hundreds AUD, mid-tier alt arts in the $40-$120 band, bulk commons by weight. Run any specific card through the scanner for a real AUD number in 60 seconds.

  • Do you buy sealed Base Set booster boxes / ETBs?

    Yes — sealed product is one of our favourite submissions. We quote booster boxes, ETBs, booster bundles, and blister packs from Base Set against current AU sealed market pricing. Factory-sealed only; opened or repacked is a pass.

  • What's the highest-value card from Base Set?

    Charizard is generally the headline chase from Base Set. Final value depends on grade — PSA 10s sit well above raw NM, and BGS / TAG black-label copies attract a further premium.

  • Should I grade my Base Set cards before selling?

    Only if the raw card is a clean PSA 10 candidate (sharp corners, perfect centring, no surface scratches under angled light). Grading turnaround is 6-9 months and costs $30-$60 per card; for most Base Set pulls it's better to take the raw offer now.

  • Are there any Base Set reprints to watch out for?

    Base Set has no official Pokémon Company reprints, but counterfeit copies do circulate. We scan every card under bright light and check rosette + holo pattern.

  • How can I tell if my Base Set card is real?

    Compare the holo dot pattern to a known-genuine copy, check that the back-printed Pokéball is the right shade of blue, do the bend test (don't actually bend — listen for the right paper "snap"). When in doubt, send it in — we authenticate every card against our reference scans.

  • How fast can I get paid for Base Set cards?

    Scan today, drop the parcel at AusPost tomorrow, paid same business day cards arrive. Most sellers see funds within 48-72 hours of accepting the offer.
