The hobby has become more expensive.”<\/p>\n What was once a favorite pastime has now become a logistical and security nightmare. <\/p>\n Jolina’s mother revealed: “The cards took up the whole room.”<\/p>\n For security reasons, the family has moved the collection to a professional storage facility in a secret location.<\/p>\n Security concerns have grown amid a rise in Pok\u00e9mon card thefts around the world.<\/p>\n In April, Pok\u00e9mon cards worth \u20ac300,000 (\u00a3261,135) were reportedly stolen during an armed robbery in France. <\/p>\n Incidents of theft targeting card shops and storage facilities have also been reported in other countries, particularly the United States.<\/p>\n The family now hopes to sell the collection in its entirety rather than dividing it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s together,\u201d Jolina’s father said. <\/p>\n \u201cWe would love it if someone turned it into a museum so everyone can see these historic cards.\u201d<\/p>\n The family has already received several serious offers but say they do not want to rush into a deal. <\/p>\n The timing also coincides with the 30th anniversary of the first Pok\u00e9mon video game.<\/p>\n Jolina is said to be less interested in Pok\u00e9mon than before.<\/p>\n Her parents are reportedly unsure whether she should stay in the limelight while focusing on her studies.<\/p>\n However, they emphasize that some cards will never be sold.<\/p>\n Speaking about Jolina’s original childhood binders, her father said: “We definitely won’t sell them.”<\/p>\n They are also expected to retain one or two cards as personal mementos if the collection eventually changes hands.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A millionaire’s daughter is considering selling the world’s most valuable Pok\u00e9mon card collection because it has become too dangerous to keep at home. 20-year-old Jolina Gisele from Switzerland has become the public face of a collection that started as a childhood hobby and has since grown into a multi-million pound fortune. sign up for Sun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":142259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[31521,1519,1539,12721,1357,2488,18051,2093],"class_list":["post-142258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bible-news","tag-50m","tag-collection","tag-hit","tag-library","tag-market","tag-pokemon","tag-valuable","tag-worlds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142258"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142260,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142258\/revisions\/142260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
