A retired man in the UK became a millionaire after auctioning a forgotten Pokémon card collection, fetching £1.56 million. The collection, stored for years, exceeded initial estimates significantly. The cards were originally bought in the 1990s and remained untouched for about 15 years. Their excellent condition, with some still sealed, contributed to their high value. The owner was unaware of their worth until evaluated by Ewbank’s auction house, which noted the impressive preservation. Initially estimated at £270,000, the final auction price surpassed five times that amount, setting a record for the auction house.
