You old Pokemon cards could actually be worth quite a lot of money now

Collecting Pokemon cards was once a major obsession for Brits and playgrounds were full of kids swapping them and showing off their rare finds.

In those days, children would pester their parents for a £3 pack from the Base Set, Fossil and Jungle set as they hunted for the best Pokemon.

And even if you were unlucky with the cards, you could still go to swapping events like Chips in Stockton or check our your local stalls.

When the trend ended most people binned their cards, but since the popularity of Pokemon GO has rocketed, so has the worth of your old packs.

A base booster box could fetch around £1,000

Although it is pretty unlikely, if you have somehow managed to keep a sealed box from the original release of Pokemon you could soon be cashing in.

And if by some chance you have a first edition box then you could be raking in as much as £7,600.
