Your old Pokémon cards could be worth up to £375k 

If you happen to have one of the very rarest Pokémon cards tucked away somewhere you’re in luck, as they can go for as much as £375,876.26.

The very rare card is a 999 Pokémon Base 1st Edition #4 Charizard trading card and it’s pretty hard to come by, but you might have one stashed away in your old collection!

The card is holographic and features Charizard, with one set to be sold for the eye-watering amount as a part of Goldin Auctions’ Holiday Auction.

The card is set to break the record for the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold at auction.

Auction Director Dave Amerman said: “We are already only about $30,000 (£22,552.58) shy of the all-time Pokémon record, which is $250,000 (£187,938.13) and there’s still plenty of days left of auction.

“We believe this card has the ability to reach a $500,000 (£375,876.26) sale.”

According to the auctioneers, the card is considered to be ‘one-of-a-kind’ and in ‘pristine condition’ following an independent evaluation – hence the incredibly high value.

Goldin’s founder and CEO Ken Goldin said: “Having been given the highest possible grades by two highly respected third party authenticators SGC and MBA, we believe this will be the most valuable Pokémon card ever sold.”

The popular franchise has recently made a comeback with Gen Z, after YouTube personality Logan Paul paid $150,000 (£112,762.88) for another Charizard card.

So you if you’ve got Pokémon Cards shoved up in the loft or under the bed and they are still in tip-top condition, consider selling them online because you could be in with a chance of getting a small fortune. 

Pokémon cards aren’t the only old school toys that you could be sat on either! 

First edition Harry Potter books can sell between £200 to over £40,000 – so they’re definitely worth double-checking.

Beanie Babies can also get you a whopping £350,000!
