Tips & Warnings

• If you can't find the card you are looking for on eBay, just be patient and keep checking every now and again. Eventually it is bound to show up in a listing.
• Examine the pictures of the Pokemon cards available from auction sites to check their condition. Make sure the description says that the card is in "mint" condition before making your purchase. "Good" condition means okay condition and this term is relative so only purchase "mint" condition items. If you purchase something in "good" condition, you may end up with a card that has marks or bends in it.
