The Bolt, if NM, would be around 1k now, maybe even slightly more
A random crap rare could fetch the 500$
For the other stuff, I'll let the others answer!
And by the way, if you're selling your bolt, I'd be interested.
Good luck!
Matt

Hi Matt,
I already have offers at 1000€ since 1 year for a Lightning Bolt.
But i prefere to keep them to put in a trade for a "middle/big rare"
For a "crap rare" i think 500$ is really not enough now.
If i asked the "pick a pile" the real question behind is :
For me a bolt is about 1000/1200$
A crap rare is about 800$
But summer rares are so much rarer than bolts, so should i trade it ?

Hi Raph,
Yeah so we agree on the pricing of the Bolt since I said 1000, even slightly more.
For the crap rares I've read so many forums whether here or on Facebook, I guess it depends how "crappy" is your crap rare. 500$ is really the mimimum I'd see them go at (I should have specified this earlier), and it wouldn't surprise me to see some of them going for 800. ABU still has some crappy rares for 1000, so even if their prices have been outdated for a long time on some of those cards, they're maybe not that far from reality right now actually, even though I wouldn't buy these at those prices (now wonder they've been sitting there for a while).
Now to answer your question, personally I'd prefer a NM bolt to a crappy rare like the ones that can be found on ABU. It really depends on what's your objective here in getting this crappy rare. If you're ever to trade your Bolt, I think you should trade it in for a decent rare + other cards or cash. But this is only me.
Matt
