Hi! Finished this guy months ago and finally got it dry mounted and hung up for my sons room! This is Dancing on the Ritz by Spangler.

I got it mounted at Hobby Lobby for $14 on white board. I wanted a black backing but she said they dont have the materials to do one that long with black, so went with white. Doesn't really make much difference though as you cant see it anyhow really which is good. She said they get multiple diamond art pieces a week that they dry mount which I thought was very cool so many people enjoy the hobby around here!

I have two more Spangler pieces I need to get mounted and hung up. Definitely a good experience! I am glad I ended up going this route as i had been considering custom framing but the expense was going to be too far outside my budget given I had multiple pieces to hang.

Hi everyone! Posted to another pokemon sub but looks like this might actually be the place I am looking for.

Long story short, these are from my childhood. Got a bunch of stuff from my mom and was sorting through for keep, trash, yardsale, etc. Found this binder! Bonus last picture is my poorly drawn Meowth on the binder front. There is a just as horrible Pickachu on the back lol.

Anyhow, my husband is a MTG guy so he showed me how to do some research on TCGPlayer and got me sleeves for all these (they are all currently now in dragonshields after these photos).

Anyhow, looks like most range from 10-100 bucks as far as I could find. I also educated myself on what shadowless, holo, reverse holo, etc all means at a basic level.

I am most curious though about the Dark Dragonite and Dragonie ex. What would these be valued? Dark Dragonite specifically i found from like 300 to 800 range, but then also kept coming back to like 2.5k which seems crazy.

The other one I am curious about too is the Machamp which is in another language. I couldn't find much about how that impacts a cards value or not. I have a number of these in other languages but this one specifically is holo and first edition. My best guess is I got some packs somewhere in Europe as a kid when I was there with family, but no idea actually.

Interestingly I have a stack of the actual booster packs packaging these all came in opened and put in the front and back pocket of the binder! I had like four ex dragons boosters but the only actual ex card in my entire binder was the dragonite. So guess when I was a kid I just put the "cool" ones in the binder and then played with the rest, I don't really remember.

These are all the shiny cards i pulled out of the collections. A whole bunch of others not shiny, and no idea what to look for in regard to those. But i looked up a few random ones like for example a Mareep normal 2003 and it was like 5 bucks which was cool. I will have to go through them all eventually.

So, what do you guys think? I was planning to take it all to a local card shop this week and ask for an opinion there too and see what i can learn!
