| I bought something extra pokemon card collection gift 2 last years for my gift closet, and I don't realize that they raise up value from $30 to $90 to $100 on the market now (target/Walmart/Amazon/eBay). I am not sure if they are out of prints or too popular. Is it too expensive for a 6 year old birthday gift? It is a kid from school. I don't want to raise the gift value too high, and I am worried that they may expect more valuable or monetary equivalent next year if we get birthday invite next year again. |

Yes, it is although the 6 year old and parents won’t realize it.
If I were you I would sell it on eBay and get a different gift for the 6 yo. |

| I doubt anyone will notice. They certainly won’t remember by next year. |

I would have no clue of the value of Pokémon cards you bought my kid.

| I would just give it because I doubt they’ll notice. My kid had received 2 of the same Nerf product from family members and I saved the other to give as a gift, not realizing it was almost $80 when I looked it up. I still gave it to them and I doubt they noticed. |

| When my kids were that age we were given Pokémon cards very often. I never paid any attention to them so I would not of realized the pack you gave cost more than $20-30. I think majority of people would have no clue at the cost so you are fine to give that if you want to. |

I once got gifted a lion king dvd collection. I ended up returning it and got $100 for it. I’m almost certain it was a regift.
I wouldn’t worry about resale value of an older Pokemon set. My kids have gotten tons of these. I would not know difference between &20 or 80 set. |

| Pp again. The cards and value are somewhat luck also. I told my friend a Pokemon she gave my son a few years ago is now worth several hundred dollars. She has no idea what she got for my kid. |
