Does anyone know anything? I found a website that lists values, but I don't know what version they are from.
Originally Posted By peeaanuut what you want to look at is market value. Which usually boils down to what you can get on e-bay.

Unless you have some top dollar cards, dont expect much from them. Good luck!

I'm not really looking for a lot of money, but I know they have to be worth something, so I don't want to be ripped off either. I just don't have the energy to sell them on eBay or search through lots.
