Pokémon fans prepare for 30th anniversary card release
Pokémon collectors in the UK and globally are preparing for the brand's 30th anniversary card range release on Wednesday.
Anticipation among collectors
Gus Hall, owner of Evolution Games in Halifax, expects fans to queue before shops open. He described the upcoming release as the biggest day for the brand in a decade. Some leaked products and cards have generated significant excitement within the community.
Rising card values
The popularity of the franchise has led to dramatic increases in trading card prices over time. A box that cost around £200 in the late 1990s now sells for approximately £35,000. Hall noted that some original cards worth just a few pounds are now selling for eye-watering amounts.
