UK man becomes millionaire after discovering rare Pokemon card collection in his attic worth nearly Rs 19 crore

A retired decorator from Surrey has sold 41 complete Pokemon card sets for 1.56 million (approximately Rs 18.5 crore), nearly six times the auction houses 270,000 (approximately Rs 3.2 crore) estimate. The collection had remained in his attic for 15 years before a newspaper report about a valuable Pokemon card prompted him to seek a valuation. One set he originally bought for around 300 (approximately Rs 35,500) later fetched 75,000 (approximately Rs 89 lakh).
