Yo, I had some nasty cards back in the day. I passed them on to a family friend, I figured he'd make good use. He didn't, he traded them all for crap and he got rid of my sik hockey cards too (autographed wuuut). They were worth maaaad scrilla back then, you should look into it.

also if you mean a shadowless 1st edition holographic charizard then hold on to it, you won't get more than 40-50 bucks and that's if it's in the best condition possible. it is however a very rare card, especially because it's shadowless.

although charizard as a card in the actual tcg is not that sick. 120 hp and fire spin does 100 damage but it takes at least 7 turns total to play him and you'd have to remove all the energy cards from him (4) after the attack. great game ending move but otherwise you're fucked.

yeah but you have to figure that you're only allowed 4 of each type of card in your deck, and that the attacks your pokemon make are determined by the energy cards you have in your hand. you can only play one energy card per turn.

the effectiveness of a water/fire type deck is very low. it's just a weird thing to do.

PLUS i play with a lightning and psychic deck most of the time, so i would electrify those krabby so hard using any one of my four zapdos' thunder. actually pikachu would do the trick.

They can't be worth anything. The only thing that is worth anything today in the world of card trading are baseball cards.
