Adults who collected as kids are now spending big on Pokémon cards

According to MSN, the children who once traded Pokémon cards on the playground are now grown and putting hundreds, sometimes thousands, into the same cards.

Cofre's take

Dealers see this adult demand at the counter every week, so a mainstream explainer adds nothing you can trade on. There is no price data here, only the nostalgia story, and nostalgia alone does not hold prices. What matters is whether auction results and sealed prices keep confirming that appetite.

Our read, from the people who buy and sell these cards. Opinion, not financial advice.
