Huh, good to know! Maybe I'll sell a few of my cards. I don't need ALL of them, after all. It would be cool if people could just send me their villagers (or what their villagers WILL look like, rather) after buying a card. I feel like spending $30 on a single card might hurt a little less if you get a doodle in the package, too haha.
Character Amiibo Cards: Values on the Rise
- Thread starter tajikey
- Start date
I had tons of cards and all the figures when TRU had a huge sale several years back...I sold them all after getting all the ones I wanted and now I wish I had kept them. I paid quite a bit for my sanrio ones, but nothing like what the prices are now!
They've already said they're re-releasing some in at least Japan. I still think the secondary market will remain somewhat stable because of New Horizons.
You could learn how to make fan-made amibo cards too. You don't need much to do it, and they work just fine.
I looked a couple of days ago, and I noticed that some of the bulk sellers I bought cards from in the past (sellers offering singles of most of the cards in the series) are sold out of a lot more of their stock than they were the last time I checked. Perhaps that’s been a gradual process, but I’m betting that sales rates have really gone up since the ACNH direct.
For now, I’ll probably stick with the cards I already have, and hope I don’t get too attached to any new villagers to the point that I feel I need their cards. I have five cards already (including Stitches, who cost me somewhere in the $10-15 range a couple of years ago), and I don’t want to have an entirely Amiibo village. I’m waiting to see how many villagers we can have before figuring out who to include in my town, but at least I have some favorites who I’m particularly excited about.

Nintendo released an Amiibo card compatibility list, which is very helpful. It looks like the Sanrio cards will not work, so I would not buy those at inflated prices. (EDIT: Although it does say we can get a poster...I wonder if it will be Sanrio themed, or just that animal resident?)

I'm waiting to get new amiibo card packs. I wouldn't waste my money getting old ones atm. Plus, I wanted the sheep from the sanrio series most of all. The rest I can just wait for. You have the option of asking the villagers to move in. I just won't ask them to unless they're dreamies. It'll give me something to look forward to while I build my town.
If you use a specific kind of N-Tag, which you can buy on amazon in bulk for pretty cheap, you can make all of the amibos you want.
You do realize people actually collect the authentic cards, right? There's more to these sets than just getting characters into your map. I know I'd rather have the real thing than some hacked knock-off.

I'm really hoping they re release the cards when the game comes out. I got a few packs when the welcome amiibo update was launched, and then I rarley found any in stores after a week of the update. I don't really need specific cards, I just want to add to my current collection so I'm probably going to trade all of my extras on the forum when I get more.
Are you serious? That’s baffling but also kind of neat—you should definitely give it a try. All you do is put a letter, card etc. in an envelope, write the recipient’s address on one side (the side that doesn’t have the flap), and add a stamp. I guess you’d have to look up how many stamps to add for its destination, but if it’s within the same country it’s typically just one.

I use clear card sleeves to put them in to prevent that. If you’re going to do a lot of trading that’s definitely a good investment, but I’ve seen some people put them between thicker card paper, or in a thicker envelope too. It’s really quite safe, even without precautions.
