RETIRED BRITISH MAN BECOMES A MILLIONAIRE AFTER DISCOVERING HIS FORGOTTEN POKÉMON CARD COLLECTION IS WORTH £1.56 MILLION. A 76 year old retired painter and decorator from Woking, Surrey, was stunned after discovering that his Pokémon card collection, stored in his attic for 15 years, had sold for £1.56 million at auction. He originally began collecting the cards in the late 1990s after his son became interested in the game, buying complete sets as a potential investment before eventually forgetting about them. The collection contained 42 complete sets, many preserved in near mint condition, attracting collectors and investors from around the world. One rare set featuring a sought after Charizard card sold for £100,000 alone. The auction exceeded expectations, becoming the most successful sale in the auction house’s 30 year history. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK
