Ewbank’s trading card specialist Roy Raftery said: “People value the ability to buy from different sources and they feel they’re buying the real deal – our condition reports and detailed descriptions put people’s minds at ease when buying something like a base set booster box for more than £10,000.
“We are building relationships with a lot of our customers. We have individual die-hard collectors, reputable businesses and individuals who buy with the intention to resell and even content creators and celebrities, which really shows our diverse range of sellers and buyers.
“Our auctions are getting bigger and bigger, and our prices are a true indication of where the market is at.
“We have more than 160 PSA graded cards – this is something our customer base have been asking for.”
One of the most valuable Pokémon trading card games on sale this Christmas – and favourite among collectors – is a Pokémon ‘Fourth Print UK’ base set sealed booster box (Wizards of the Coast, 1999-2000).
