    Posted: 11 October 2009 at 21:49
Hi, now I'm not here to advertise, but I do have a number of top trumps packs & cards that would be worth a fair bit of cash. Trouble is, I'm not sure exactly how much some of my stuff is worth. I'll briefly list what I've got (with details), and I would appreciate some feedback in regards to valuations of certain packs/cards (whether that be individually or in one big total value).

The list is lengthy, so bear with me on this -
 
-- x1 Shelob super top trump card (LOTR: Return Of the King), perfect condition
-- x1 Randy Orton WWE super top trump card, great condition (ever-so-slight crease on card)
-- x1 The Balrog super top trump card (LOTR: Fellowship Of the Ring), perfect condition
-- x1 Comic Book Guy super top trump card (Simpsons original, American version), perfect condition
-- x1 Ultimate Military Jets pack, great condition (never used)
-- x1 Sharks pack, perfect condition (never used)
-- x1 Simpsons Classic Collection: Volume I pack (Specials), perfect condition (never used)
-- x1 Football Legends I (Specials) pack, perfect condition (never used)
-- x1 Star Wars Episode IV-VI (Specials) pack, great condition (barely used)
-- x1 Supercars pack, perfect condition (never used)
-- x1 Shrek 2 pack, good condition (used; cards are all in good nick)
-- x1 The Simpsons original pack, good condition (used; cards are all in good nick)
-- x1 FHM Covergirls (Specials) pack, perfect condition (never used, the front two & back subliminal cards are missing, but all 30 in-play trumps are there)
-- x1 World Football Stars pack, perfect condition (never used)
-- x1 European Football Stars pack, perfect condition (never used)
-- x1 Simpsons Special Horror edition (Specials), great condition (barely used)
-- x1 The Ultimate Pack, perfect condition (never used)
-- x1 Lord Of The rings Trilogy gift Set (Specials, contains all three film pack + all nine super top trump cards) pack, perfect condition (never used, though the outer box of the gift set has torn slightly)
 
Thanks for reading this post; I shall eagerly await any kind of responces.

Hi Flicko - welcome to the forum.
 
You might try your luck in the sales and trades thread on here, as some members may be interested in some of your super top trumps and Ultimate pack (is it Black or Red?)
 
- not sure if you use eBay ? but you could also try listing them on there and let them find their current price. To be 100% honest with you the general top trumps items you have haven't been making as much recently as they used to sadly.

I would opt for the Ultimate Pack (red) as my top choice if I were to buy.

Be about £15 if sealed but could be more if you get lucky.

Just to arn you, Balrog would probably make you a pound as it is not rare at all.

I paid about £7-8 for the Ultimate Red pack a while ago. Other than that pack, you don't have anything that I'd or anyone else would consider "rare". Check eBay for the going rates, most would fetch 99p to £1.99 possibly.

Thanks for the swift replies, folks.
 
adsdpial, thanks; could you point me in the direction of the sales & trades thread? I do use eBay, but I'm not one to trust it in regards to acurate valuations. I might give it a punt, though.
 
None of my packs are sealed, and I am aware that the vast majority aren't that rare at all (Would Shelob count into that category? Cost me a tenner a few years back).
 
Oh and, The Ultimate Pack is red.

Shelob is a rarer card, and your Red pack is more rare, older (IMO) than the black - best of luck ! Thumbs%20Up

To settle the debate here, would everyone agree that from flicko's list the Ultimate Red Pack is the most rarer to have?

The reason I wasn't sure is that if you've got one and not the other, then the other is more rare for you LOL - but I guess it must be the red as that isn't being given out anymore Embarrassed

Hiya Offy. It was very rare for a while commanding prices of £40+ but there has been a few of them springing up on our favourite auction site which has brought the price down somewhat. It's now in the region of around £10 - £15 I'd've thought.

Was it a promotional pack that was distributed only in bars in 2006?

Who came up with this idea?
