A retired decorator finds a large Pokémon card and set collection hidden in his attic and valued at about £250,000 after discovering it has remained untouched for around 15 years. An auction-house staff member says the discovery is substantial, describing the shock after learning the collection includes 42 sets.
The account centers on the auction house Ewbank’s, based in Surrey, which assesses the collection and comments on its size. In the available coverage, the focus is primarily on the unexpected nature of the find and the estimated market value tied to the number of sets. The reporting does not provide further detail in the provided excerpts about how the items were acquired, their condition, or whether they include rare specific editions.
Overall, the sources agree on the core facts: the discovery, the approximate value, and the scale of the Pokémon sets stored in the attic over the lengthy period.
