Valuable Discovery
A rare set of Pokémon cards worth £20,000 was almost thrown away before its true value was realized. The sealed Pokémon Fourth Print Base Set Booster Box had been owned by an 81-year-old grandfather since 1999.
A Close Call
The cards came dangerously close to being discarded during a clear-out. The grandfather had planned to throw them away, but his daughter intervened. She recognized that some of the cards might have significant value. A few cards did end up in the skip, but the valuable set was saved.
Going Up for Sale
The set of Pokémon cards is set to be sold at Hansons Auctioneers in Derby on October 17. This is not the first time the family has cashed in on their collecting hobby. Previous sales of their extensive collection have already netted them around £50,000.
Incredible Value
It is astonishing how much the value of these cards has increased over the years. The grandfather originally purchased them for just £100. Now, they are estimated to be worth £20,000. The family hopes that the proceeds from the sale will make life a bit easier for the original buyer and will be split among family members.
Crazy Collecting Market
This story is just one example of the incredible demand for rare Pokémon cards. Some fans are willing to pay millions of pounds for the rarest cards. In fact, one ultra-rare card recently sold for over £3,000. It's a lucrative market for collectors and enthusiasts.
