Who has space ? Puts my husband's collection of Steptoe & Son memorabilia into context.
Do you collect anything ?
Gotta Catch 'Em All, my sons were mad about collecting Pokémon cards when they first came out. After Pokémon they went on to collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Under the bed in the spare bedroom there are hundreds of these cards. 
Sugarbabe Until reading this, I've forgotten my son used to collect Pokemon cards. The money I spent 
beccatavender It used to cost a fortune buying those tins and packs of cards. I want to get rid of them but I would be lynched 
Sugarbabe When my son was little we paid a fortune for these cards, I think we must have cleared them out and sold them for pennies in a car boot sale 
Given the number of items that isn't a large return. If there are any very rare items in the collection it could go for a lot more. For example, a single PSA10-graded Pikachu Illustrator Pokémon Card was sold for $5,275,000 - www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/04/random-logan-paul-spends-absurd-money-on-rare-pokemon-card
ACR I've noticed EUR versions can be less valuable than the USA/JPN ones, in my experience. Or the region/country sold in.
I had a hard time reselling original CIB NES/SNES consoles (excellent shape) and it took months and reducing the sale price, but not too much.
Disappointing it took so long.
Should've gone for £500k at least.
Still, buying merchandize as an investment is a gamble so the seller is lucky she got £300k. Well, it's on eBay so hopefully the fees aren't too deep of a hole.
