A savvy dad who spent 16 years collecting rare trading and Pokemon cards for his kids is selling the lot for a whopping £250,000.. Gordon White, 58, managed to collate thousands of the cards, including dozens of complete Pokemon sets, after he began collecting them in the 90s for his kids.
The delivery driver started his obsession after his children asked to join a Pokemon league and he has been collecting them ever since. He has already cashed in by selling half of his collection, which fetched a staggering £200,000 when it went under the hammer in November last year.
Now, Gordon is set to rake in an additional £60,000 by flogging the rest of his 'treasure trove' of Magic: The Gathering cards. Magic: The Gathering - know as just ‘Magic’ or MTG - is considered the very first trading card game which pre-dates Pokémon and was a forerunner of the genre.
