Here’s a segment from Antiques Roadshow featuring a lady whose mother bought her a full base set of Pokémon trading cards back in 1999 for $35. Now, according to the appraiser in the video, the set is worth between $5,000 and $10,000. Unfortunately, the value of these cards is very volatile, so if the woman would have sold her set back in 2020, her Charizard card alone could have gone for up to $15,000.
