Trading card collecting has resurged in popularity, with some people unknowingly storing collections worth thousands of pounds in their homes, a shop owner has said.
Juliano Scibelli, who runs Collectors Corner in Peterborough, said demand for Pokémon and other trading cards had grown significantly in recent years, driven by nostalgia and a new generation of collectors.
He started his online trading card business nearly 15 years ago and recently opened a physical store, which had been visited by enthusiasts from across the country, he said.
He added there were "tens of thousands" of cards stocked in his shop in Orton Southgate, and customers often travelled long distances to find specific cards.
"We've had people coming from Scotland, from Wales - realistically, people will travel from all over the UK to check out new card shops or find cards they like," he said.
