Woking man's attic Pokémon card collection sells for £1.56m at Ewbank's
A retired decorator from Woking sold a collection of Pokémon cards bought in the late 1990s for £1.56m at an Ewbank's auction on Wednesday. He only realised their worth after reading a local newspaper report about a single card selling for over £6,000, having stored the sealed, binder-filed cards in his attic for 15 years. One set he bought for £300 from a Malaysian eBay seller sold for £75,000.
