Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇬🇧 A box of Pokémon cards sitting in a British man's attic for 15 YEARS just sold for more than $2 MILLION! The owner originally bought some of the sets for just a few hundred dollars. The retired decorator had collected 41 complete Pokémon card sets between 1999-2009, then stored them away after his son lost interest. At auction, the collection fetched £1.56 million ($2.09 million), more than 6x its estimated value. One Legendary Collection set containing a rare Charizard sold for $174,000, while a Skyridge set originally bought for ~$400 fetched around $131,000. Sometimes cleaning out the attic really can make you a millionaire. Source: AA / Writer: Samuel
