Burning Shadows Pokemon Cards: Complete List & Price Guide

Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about these here “Burning Shadows” Pokemon cards. I don’t know much about fancy computer games or whatever, but my grandkids are always yappin’ about these things, so I figured I’d learn a thing or two.

Now, from what I gather, this “Burning Shadows” set, it came out a while back, in 2017 I think they said. August, maybe? Anyways, it’s got a whole mess of cards, like, a hundred and sixty-nine of ’em, if you count them secret ones. Lordy, that’s a lot of cards! Back in my day, we played with rocks and sticks, not all this fancy paper.

They tell me some of these cards are worth somethin’. Can you believe it? Just little pieces of cardboard, and folks are willin’ to pay good money for ’em. Heck, I seen my grandson tradin’ ’em with his friends, and they get all worked up about it. “This one’s rare!” they say, or “That one’s super powerful!” I just shake my head and chuckle. Kids these days!

So, what makes these “Burning Shadows” cards so special? Well, I ain’t no expert, but from what I hear, it’s got some strong “trainers” in it. Whatever that means. And the pictures are real purdy, they say. They got all sorts of colors and creatures on ’em. Some of ’em look like dragons, some like birds, and some just look plain weird. But I guess that’s the point, ain’t it?

• They got these “common” cards, which ain’t worth much, I reckon.
• Then they got the “uncommon” ones, which are a little better.
• And then there’s the “rare” ones, which is where the money’s at, I hear.

And let me tell you, finding them rare ones ain’t easy. It’s like lookin’ for a needle in a haystack, as they say. My grandson, he’s always pesterin’ me to buy him more packs of these cards, hopin’ he’ll get lucky and pull a good one. Sometimes he does, sometimes he don’t. That’s just the way it is, I guess.

Now, I seen some folks online, they got these fancy lists and price guides for these cards. They tell you how much each one is worth, dependin’ on how good of shape it’s in. Some of ’em are worth a few dollars, some are worth hundreds, and some, well, they’re worth even more than that. Can you imagine payin’ that much for a little piece of cardboard? It boggles my mind, it really does.

But I guess if folks wanna spend their money on it, that’s their business. Me, I’d rather spend my money on somethin’ practical, like a good pair of shoes or a warm blanket. But then again, I ain’t a kid anymore. And maybe these cards, they ain’t just about the money. Maybe they’re about the fun of collectin’ ’em, the thrill of the hunt, and the joy of tradin’ ’em with your friends.

So, if you’re into these “Burning Shadows” Pokemon cards, more power to ya. Just don’t go spendin’ your life savings on ’em, ya hear? There’s more important things in life than cardboard. But if it makes you happy, and it ain’t hurtin’ nobody, then I guess it’s alright. That’s what I always say, anyway.

And if you happen to find one of them super rare ones, maybe you can come on over and show this old lady what all the fuss is about. I might not understand it, but I can always appreciate a good story. And who knows, maybe I’ll even learn a thing or two about these “Pokey-mans,” or whatever they’re called.

Just remember to keep ’em in good shape, though. Them collectors, they like their cards nice and clean, no bends or scratches. It’s like keepin’ your grandma’s good china safe, you know? Gotta take care of the precious things.
