A pair of brothers who bought a collectable item at auction were amazed to find out it was actually worth far more than anyone realised at first – and it had been kept in an old shopping bag
Owen and Conner Gray bought the Pokemon cards to form part of their impressive collection – the largest in the world, according to Guinness World Records , who verified the achievement back in July.
Owen said: "There were probably about 3-4,000 cards just thrown into JD Sports bags and in that combination were two gold star Charizards, which today are worth anywhere between £5,000 and 25,000 each. They weren’t in bad condition at all.” Their achievement was posted to the Guinness World Records Instagram page recently, where the pair revealed they've "gotta catch them all" and have been collecting cards since they were in school. People were quick to comment on the viral video, with one person writing: "The Bro is rich without being rich."
According to TCGPlayer Infinite, you can spot a rare Pokemon card in a few different ways. Firstly, its 'rarity' symbol can be a good indication: a black circle indicates a common card, a black square is uncommon, a black star is rare and a black star with the word 'promo' across it is a promo card.
