Character Amiibo Cards: Values on the Rise

Yeah some of these cards are crazy expensive. Usually if I can't find them for a cheap price on eBay for $1-5 then I look to this Esty seller that I discovered that prints any card from any series for $5.40. Nor do I wanna test my luck trying to open a pack of 6 cards.. unless it's a series with the new villagers.

I haven't gone on Ebay yet but I am hoping that I won't have an issue finding it closer to the game's release. I did order some random packs from Amazon.

Etsy has some great fan made cards, basically any card you want, for a couple of bucks!
 
I am glad they're reprinting some of the cards now, but I won't be getting any more as I have more than enough, and to get the last villagers I really wanted, I used the NFC tag trick. You can buy NFC tags in card format that are roughly the size of an amiibo card (albeit thicker and heavier), print the card image and stick it on if you want a certain look. Instead of paying ?20 or so for one of the Welcome Amiibo villagers, I paid 35p. I would have liked the actual cards but cannot justify paying that kind of money. A lot of them were unavailable on eBay too.
 
I don't know how much this will affect the current market. You could risk paying $5 for 6 cards in the hopes of getting what you want, or you can drop $10 on eBay for a guarantee.

I also think if Nintendo runs the printers for the US, they'll go after Etsy

My hope is that more come into circulation. Alot of what I'm missing series 1 are either unavailable or pretty expensive. I don't have series 2-4. I bought the Sanrio series last year on Etsy (not official ones). The actual Nintendo Sanrio series on eBay was listed at 160$!

The official Sanrio set is now closer to $200. I know if I had the set, I'd sell it as fast as I could. I bought 18 packs of Series 4 to get 1 character. I fully plan on listing and selling all the others.
 
Glad I just about got all 400 base cards. I knew the collection would pay off someday lol

That's gotta feel good to have all. I am sort of kicking myself for not taking the opportunity and waiting too long. Still, Ebay is tempting for the entire sets but I'm going to wait and see what the market does with re-releases.
 
I'm in for this as well. Picked up an old Galaxy phone and 100pack of tags.

I bought my Amiibo cards months ago, I'm so happy they will let us use them in New Horizons! :blush:
 
The seller from which I purchased 18 Series 4 packs rose the price $30. I paid $70, and they're now at $100. I was able to pull Stitches, which is the reason I bought the packs, as well as trade bait for Molly and Merengue. The rest I listed on eBay, and have been selling them at a rate of about 3 cards per hour. I've already made my money back, and am still sitting on roughly 80 or so cards.

Closer we get to launch, more popular they'll be...at least that's my prediction.

You?re right, those prices did dramatically go up! I?m glad I anticipated the continued amiibo functionality and got all my favorites last year.

(P.S. It?s the Amiibo Festival version, but I?d consider parting with my Stitches card if you want him as a villager in NH)

how much would you be willing to let him go for?

Sorry, that specific offer was really only meant for OP. I have other cards for trade in the Post Office though!

Also, if you (or anyone else really) wants Stitches badly, he should still be included in the Amiibo Festival game, which goes for around 20$ on Amazon and might be cheaper than buying just his card at this point :3

The Series 4 Stitches sells for $20, while the Amiibo Festival Stitches sells for $10.

Also, thank you for the offer. I did end up pulling one out of Series 4, which made me really happy.

Good idea, I need to unload all my extras too. The seller that sold me my pack also raised it. From $60 to $100 as well.
Have to prepare for the new wave!
