A collection of Pokémon cards stored in a retired decorator’s attic for 15 years has sold for £1.56m at auction.
The seller, from Woking, said he realised the cards were valuable after reading about a single card fetching more than £6,000 in his local newspaper.
His collection was auctioned off at Ewbank’s in Surrey on Wednesday. The auction house claims it was the UK’s most valuable trading cards auction ever.
The ‘s Duncan Kennedy visited Ewbank’s to see the collection in person.
