If the auction starts at $ 125,000, the potential buyers are very likely to push the prices much higher.
This collection notably contains the very rare Dracofeu card, which alone is estimated at 350,000 dollars.

A permanent craze around Pokémon
The price of this card is partly due to its rarity, it is one of the 2,627 certified models, but also to its perfect state of conservation while it dates from 1999. In addition, it bears the number 4, the one of the most sought after pieces by discerning collectors.
Moreover, the organizer of the sale did not hesitate to recall that a Dracofeu card had been awarded for $ 400,000 last December.
The price of these collector cards, but also the enthusiasm that remains around the game Pokémon Go or the distribution of cartoons, are all proof that these little creatures are still in fashion.
