Remember Pogs, Garbage Pail Kids, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, Raisin people, even Beanie Babies? They were hot collectibles for a very short period of time. Will Pokémon collectibles be the next to go up and up and then quickly die? Pokémon toys, trading cards, dolls, clothes, figurines and other things, even gear shift knobs, are for sale. Older is better. The game started in 1996 and the cards in 1998. These cards, like baseball cards, are priced based on condition, number printed, and if in the original package. The same grading standards and sealed holders are used. Top seller Holo (graded mint) is reported as sold on eBay for $100,000. It is said only four exist, but if you find one in decent condition, it is worth at least $20,000. There is already a collector with more than 18,000 Pokémon collectibles.
