Malaysian Pokemon collector seeks US$441,993 or a Porsche for rare card trove
Damiral Imran’s sought-after collection highlights the booming trading card hobby in the country
Damiral Imran listed his collection on social media, where he described it as “history, rarity and legacy in one vault”.
According to screenshots from Shiny, a global card-valuation tracker, Damiral’s full stockpile is worth about 2 million ringgit.
Damiral, who said he has already received offers as high as 1.68 million ringgit, also dangled a 50,000 ringgit commission to anyone who could help him find a buyer.
When asked by a social media user how much he spent on the collection, Damiral said it was around 1.62 million ringgit.
Photographs uploaded with his post show rows of Pokemon cards – expertly authenticated and rated for condition by the US-based Professional Sports Authenticator – neatly arranged on tables, each sealed in plastic cases.
