Off Topic - WoW TCG

What would about 5000 unsearched WoW TCG Cards be worth? I gathered all these together and sorted them by set (Azeroth, Hunt for Illidan, etc) and I am looking to move them. I know a few of you guys play so maybe there is someone that might be able to put a value on these.

There are about 5000 cards in all. The only thing missing is the point cards and the loot cards. All the common, uncommon, rare, and purples are still there. Nothing taken out. There are also loot cards and raid decks included (as you can see in the photo).



I will be selling these on eBay sooner or later, but for now, just trying to find out if it's worthwhile to sell them.



Thanks!
 
I am still wondering if I should even bother getting back into the TCG. I have hardly any money right now, but I can see you walking away with a good amount of money. A friend of mine traded the turtle mount code of a collection (roughly this size) of the normal TCG cards.



I'm stuck between WoW, WoW TCG, and Star Wars Minis (and by the way the rules are being handled with that game (the top players make the rules) I might just stop playing that)

Honestly with that many cards its really hard to say. Only time i was into any kind of "tcg" was Magic >.>



It would all depend on how many rares and ultra rare cards you have or if you just want to move them in a bulk quickly. If money isn't the issue which i'm going to guess its not throw them in a big lump and ship them off. Could even bulk them up in sets like you have already and sell them per set.



Which i had better info on the amount of $$ you could be looking at but aside from taking to some comic book place and asking them to sort though them and tell you what they are worth its pick and number and hope someone bites.

I would not recommend doing this for two reasons:



1) The store will undercut you A LOT. I have seen hundred dollar cards bought by store owners for a buck by getting all critical about the most minute of detail

2) Most Comic/Gaming stores do not want your stuff. I have been zealously going to a local gaming store for a few years now and me and the owner are good friends because of my loyalty, helping out at the store, and what not. But whenever someone comes in and is like "Do you buy X, Y, or Z?" He always says no. When he first opened, that was different. He knows better know because he stuck with old toys that won't sell (He's basically throwing them out now) and card games that didn't even get off the ground (He bought into a few boxes of The Spoils, a failed TCG that set him back a few hundred bucks)



eBay/Craig's list are your best options. When I sold my old Magic cards online I did it as a "BUY IT ALL OR YOU DON'T GET IT" auction while giving the buyer a very generous bargain. i started the bid off at a penny a common, a dime an uncommon and a dollar a rare or super rare (W/E you may call rarer than rare cards) Total came to just under a hundred bucks (No reserve) and within a week they had sold for almost 200$ (Hooray money for a new computer which I later get cheated out of!)



That's just my two cents, and if money isn't an issue (you just want it out of your hair) I'd suggest doing what I did.



Once your auction goes live post or PM me the address, I will pass the news around my friends who religiously play this game.

O no i didn't mean it like hey go to a comic place and get ripped off but see if they could give you a quote or something on what they might be worth then jack that up a bit and sell them on ebay or craigslist
 
Rarer than Rare? They were just crammed together as "Rare" in Magic: the Gathering. You had to actually look up the ratios to figure out exactly how rare, but most of the time value was determined by the strength of the card. I know a few uncommons that are of greater value than alot of trash rares.
 
Well Drayner I just sold off majority of my WOW tcg collection. Let me put into perspective for you. I played competitively playing at the world championships and all. I had pretty much 4 of any card needed that was tournament caliber. I sold the full collection for $225.00.



So there isn't a huge market for them. If you got the cards mostly from boosters you might have some if not majority of the power rares/epics, however not having 4 of them kind of devalues it. If you have time you can email/pm me the list of rares and epics you are selling mostly because if you sell it as a lot on ebay you would need have a list ready for questions and such.



I am not biased, I sold the collection to a store and cut it down because I also sold 10 boxes of boosters with it. I cleaned house as it were. So I can give you nice ballpark estimate of what you could expect with it. However UDE is doing pretty bad in terms of the company so I am unsure of the future. So sell soon.
 
Ogre Trinket is not a loot card, you earn it by getting 250,000 UDE points (and since you get 100 points pack ... you get the idea)



And when I said Rarer than Rare, there are TCGs out that don't stop at Rare (WoW: Epic, YuGiOh: Super Rare, YuYuHakusho: Uber Rare ...)

Yeah I believe the best option would be to ebay all of these. Im sure you can find lots like this on ebay to give an estimate of how much you can get for all these.

And in M:tG it was just Common, Uncommon, and Rare... you had to look up ratios to figure out which was more rare or not.



I couldn't get into Yu-Gi-Oh largely because the anime decimated the skill of the local player group when it came to the game. You know how many times I've had an opponent summon a Blue-Eyes and cry out in victory, only to have me kill it with a trap and continue my onslaught?



None... know why, cuz I never left enough monsters on the table for them to summon it, they all just QQed and claimed "If I summoned it, I'd have won"



Of course... I've put a Blue Eyes into play more than a dozen times because Card Destruction + Monster Reborn was EZ-Mode Win once I saw the signs that they had something they really wanted to play.
 
I'm just glad I am done with TCGs. Why may you ask?



-Their community consists primarily of A-Holes (MTG is probably the best example; bunch of pompous [expletive, expletive, expletive])

-If you can't pour your life's earnings into it, you lose. (Motto: Buy the cards to make a top tier deck, or you fail at life.)

-To easy. Once you crack the TCG code, it becomes trivial to even continue playing.



And I quit for reasons 1 and 2, but I know someone who quit for reason 3; they have moved on to miniature games which are created for more intellectual players as well as going on to create his own RP (Did I mention this person is 8 and held the 1st place in all age brackets title in the Pokemon TCG for 3 years before quitting because he got heckled and cursed at by people 3 times his age? No one deserves to be cursed out by a 40 year old, than again ... the only thing this 40 year old has in his life is this TCG ...)



Point = Proven.

It's why I like Type 1.5 and extended formats most.



The fact that I'm a Johnny Player also plays heavily in that decision.
 
WoW TCG isn't all that popular, I wouldn't count on too much.

Sell the loot cards separately, some of them go for a good amount on ebay. Or be a jackass and do those "loot packs" where you give the person like 14 random cards and 1 random loot card (one of the cheap ones) and claim it may be a spectral tiger when you don't even have one.
