How much were Pokemon cards in 1999?
Back in the golden age of '99, your standard Pokemon TCG pack would usually set you back about $3.99. Ah, the simpler times, when all you needed was a few bucks and some luck to snag that shiny Charizard.

Nah, you're all looking at this with rose-tinted glasses. It was more than just the price of a pack; it was the start of an addiction. Worth it, though.
Lol $3.99 sounds about right unless you were dealing with that one shop that marked everything up because they knew we couldn't resist. But yeah, $3-$4 was standard.
$3.99? More like a small fortune if you were trying to nab a first edition base set. Prices varied, but a pack could easily be in that $3-$4 range, give or take a buck depending on where you shopped.
Honestly, considering inflation, those packs were a steal. Throwback to when all we cared about was the thrill of the rip and the glint of a holographic.
