A man's childhood Pokémon card collection, stored in his attic for decades, is expected to fetch up to £270,000 at auction in Surrey.

A retired decorator from Woking is selling 42 mint-condition Pokémon master sets, purchased for around £300 each in the late 1990s via eBay from a Malaysian seller, at Ewbank's Auctions in Surrey on October 21, with head of trading cards James Spooner estimating the collection could fetch up to £270,000.
