I actually just heard about the banning of the original print of that card. Is it the banned one or the "censored" one?

It's the "banned" one.

Soulwind, do you remember how long ago you sold them?
 
I cannot believe this. I just pulled a Gold Zekrom from one Legendary Treasures pack. My question is, will its value appreciate as time goes on?

Either January or February this year. It is one of those cards that is worth way more than it should be.

Prices are what he values the cards

I ended up passing. Just too many cards with some type of damage and not every collector wants a card with damage.

How much is Charizard G Lv. X worth right now in mint/nm condition? Both the Tin and the Pack. Thanks!

Around 16$ for both I think.

How much is a PSA 3 shadowless charizard base set worth?

To be honest you are better off cracking the case open and selling it raw as Good/Excellent condition. You may be able to net around 20-30$ that way. Nobody wants a PSA 3, trust me. I crack some PSA 7 cards open occasionally since PSA can be very peculiar with their grading.

How much is Crystal Tower Entei worth? It's from the 10th movie I think. It's graded PSA 9.

I think you should aim around the 30-40$ mark.
 
I just bought a near mint Rocket's Raikou Vs for $7 and an Ex Emerald Registeel ex for that same price. I'm guessing it was good for my side, but I want to hear you guy's opinions on it.
 
Who would even bother sending that in to be graded?.

I personally would be happy paying them prices for them cards, they are both really nice cards.
 
How much would a Japanese NM Rocket's Entei ex be? After days of searching I've found one, but it's 20 euros. And I'm not sure about the picture the seller provided, it doesn't look that NM to me.

I sold mine for 14 USD about a week ago for reference (the VS one).

The one from the set is worth around 15$ if 1ED.

Hello, I haven't played this TCG in around 6 years and I was just wondering how much a good competitive deck would cost me. Thanks :D

Too much.

I would say around 200$ or more if you want to be competitive.
