Childhood Pokémon cards left gathering dust in bedroom for decades could net thousands at auction
05.11.2023 - 10:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A childhood collection of Pokémon cards left gathering dust in a bedroom for more than 20 years could fetch thousands of pounds at auction.
Martin Rixon, 29, hung on to hundreds of Japanese trading game cards, including Pokémon rarities, he amassed when he was just eight years old. The haul of 300 cards spent more than two decades languishing in his bedroom in Barton-le-Clay, Bedfordshire, until his dad Neil decided to recently get them valued.
And the pair were left stunned to discover the collection could net around £5,000 when it goes under the hammer at Hanson Ross Auctioneers. Martin's Pokemon hoard is expected to sell for between £2,000-£4,000 while his Yu-Gi-Oh! and Digimon cards are estimated to fetch £240-£460.

In addition, a collection of Mad Max toys, Top Trumps and Dragons could achieve £200-£400 in the sale in Royston, Herts, on November 17. Amanda Butler, director of operations at Hanson Ross, said: “That promises to be quite a return for items bought for fun in childhood, the sort of stuff many people throw away thinking they’re simply not worth anything.
“Luckily Martin was wise enough to look after his cards and realised they could be valuable. It’s amazing to think something tucked way in a bedroom for 21 years can net that sort of return now.
“We were delighted when his dad brought the collection along to our Royston saleroom for valuation because Pokémon and rare vintage Japanese cards and gaming items are sought after at auction. It’s a burgeoning market sector that’s grown massively in recent years,
