I’ve been collecting cards ever since, though now I buy my own packs and I don’t have to worry so much about doing the chores. If my dad had kept that booster box sealed, it could probably have brought about £12,000 at auction! I can still remember my dad purchasing one of the original base booster sets and giving me a pack every time I did my chores or displayed had managed to be well behaved (which is easy to do when you know Pokemon cards are coming). It’s safe to say that it changed my entire life! Picture the scene me at just 6 years old, discovering Pokemon for the first time. I’ve made it my life’s mission to collect the best Pokemon Booster boxes ever since 1999.
