Jacob Flood, avid card collector, commented:
“I’ve always been into Pokémon since I was a child, but in the last five years or so they have become incredibly popular as a collectible because of their nostalgia. As Pokémon cards are 25 years old now, they have become increasingly difficult to source, particularly in mint condition. A 1st Edition shadowless Pokémon has specifically become one of the most sought after. The highest I would pay for a Pokémon card at the moment is £1.1k.”
“I personally would always be happy to invest in Pokémon cards, particularly PSA cards, as it’s a memory from my childhood that I can keep for years to come as they become more and more historic.”
