Pokemon TCG player finds forgotten basement stash of vintage items
The Pokemon CompanyFans of the Pokemon Trading Card Game will surely know that there are rare cards that reach sky-high prices on the market. One player just hit the jackpot with a discovery of decade-old forgotten items in their basement.
Pokemon TCG fans are always taking care of their precious card collections, being especially careful with the most sought-after rare cards. With the recent release of Pokemon TCG Paldean Fates, players’ enthusiasm for collecting cards has spiked again.
While many fans have absolute freedom to pursue their hobby, in some countries, Pokemon Cards were banned for a certain period or remain banned until today. Which makes old collections far more precious and exotic.
Now, one player just hit the jackpot while revisiting an old stash of Pokemon Cards they had hidden away when those precious items were banned, and here’s what they found.
According to user ‘ExperienceOk4273’ these cards were found in their basement and were stashed away when Pokemon TCG was banned in Saudi Arabia. The OP’s parent worked at the local distribution company and managed to keep a lot of the precious items, cards, and memorabilia safe.
Years after the ban was lifted, they hit the motherload when rummaging through their basement, and stumbled upon this treasure, perfectly preserved, like a time capsule. The OP also stated that they’re interested in selling the cards and merchandise they found.
Fans of Pokemon TCG also noticed that the collection includes not only booster packs, sets, and regular merchandise, but also actionflipz, and stickers. Players also calculated the estimated market value might be close to $100,000, USD which is quite the haul.
If you are interested in acquiring these precious collectibles, make sure to keep a close look at the OP’s post. In the meantime, here’s all you need to know about the Pokemon TCG Combined Powers Collection, and all the drama behind the Van Gogh Museum mayhem.
