Yeah, but, if it's only got collector's value, it shouldn't be too expensive.

Only having collectors value tends to make things hideously more expensive.

Don't bother trying to repair it.

Start using card sleeves. You can get them in a variety of colors and styles. Saw some R-Rated ones at GenCon a few years ago.

They're designed for CCG's. They'll protect your rare cards from normal wear and tear. (I used to play Decipher's Star Wars CCG back in college)

Here is a quick search on ebay for them. There is a variety of styles for Pokimon. I guess it's a popular game.

Well, look at the dual lands from A/B/U set of magic, they're ridiculously expensive because of their collector's value and play value, and being a staple in legacy. Base set charizard only has collector value.

Charizard also has nostalgia value as well, and reminding someone of their childhood tends to be one way to get people to buy what you're selling.

Makes sense, I mean come on, its freaking Charizard! He's a legend. Too bad Ash sucked as a trainer. (No Earthquake? Or Belly Drum?
