I still have pokemon yellow but I don't have the box plus doesn't GameStop have a ton of these lying around?

Do you have any video game collectibles that can give you some cash?

Gamestop probably doesn't have these lying around which is precisely why they're valuable now.

collectables are only "worth" what someone is willing to pay

you might have a rare indian head nickel, that a collector would pay $2000 for. but the government still thinks it's worth 5 cent

Anything you had as a kid is worth bread now, I got a super scope 6 with box and everything, kept it all these years. I looked it up and it goes for a few hundred.

30k might've been overselling actually but if you go in stockx and search for each card you can get an average price
that machamp might be $800 Machamp-Holo 1999 Pokemon TCG Base Set 1st Edition #8/102
nidoking looks like it's around $145 Nidoking-Holo 1999 Pokemon TCG Base Set #11/102

I literally mean almost everything, a book from a nes game can go for as much as $50 depending on the title. the box, mint condition gets the most obviously but a beat up box might fetch you $3. SNES as well, I have my original Zelda from 64 with box. I saw it going for like $250-350 minimum. My killer instinct killer tracks CD gets bread, jet grind radio music sampler, shyt like that I never cared about and just put it in a box. One of these days I'm likely to cash in
