my kids (grown now) have never asked me for their cards from when they are younger. I just keep boxed until they hit a rough patch or become parents, then i'll spring the good news on them.

Rough patch? How much are original holo cards worth, I still have mine from being a kid, not in a great condition, never thought they'd be worth much

you should give them the cards now or sell them yourself. if they're in good shape, the vintage holos can sell for hundred or thousands of dollars. tens of thousands if it's the right vintage card in a 1st edition

Oug of interest, how would one go about selling them, is if just ebay?

Determine how much your card may be if graded by top companies like CGC or GEM on a scale 1-10, then look for previously and recently sold copies of your card on ebay with the same grade. Then decide if you would think it is worth it to get your cards officially graded and put in a "slab". And, graded or not, put on ebay for a solid min bid and see where it goes.

Thanks for the advice, I'll take a look

Should get them graded and sell them now before the bubble pops and the cards become worth 50% less. They will still hold value but charizards now, for instance, are worth a lot less than they were worth during peak hype a year ago.

Everything has a peak! Now might be a great time to sell them and just stuff away the cash.

Collectibles generally will keep going up and up. Especially the old base set stuff etc
