Juan Pardo is 30 years old and during his childhood he had collected a large number of pokemon cardsalthough he never thought that these would have value beyond sentimental value. However, he was surprised find the price at which they sell on the collectors market.
Thus, together with his wife Madeline Brice, he began to investigate the value of his cards. “My collection started around 2000. My mother gave me packages because I was obsessed with games. game boythe games nintendo 64 and the program,” Pardo explained to a program.
Even his mother continued buying these cards until 2017, although the man from Kansas City, Missouri had already stopped collecting them. Pardo expressed: “I don’t think selling is out of the question, but I started scanning the cards out of curiosity to see what some of them might be worth. “It’s a total surprise that some of these numbers are showing up.”

Pardo scanned the first 670 cards and discovered that the estimated value was greater than $2,000. Among them is Reverse Holo Charmanderhis most valuable card, currently valued at $229. The investigation was not concluded, since he estimates he has 3,600 cards.

Now the question is between selling them now or waiting until later to obtain greater profits. “If we had to sell, the truth is, we would probably put the money in a savings account and use it simply to have an extra cushion for our finances,” Pardo said.
