What does Pokémon Card Insurance Cover?
Pokémon cards are synonymous with nostalgia, rarity, and cultural significance. Since their debut in 1996, they have become one of the most iconic and valuable collectibles in the world. What began as a companion to the globally beloved video games has evolved into a multi-billion-pound market, attracting collectors, investors, and enthusiasts alike. With certain cards commanding six and seven-figure sums at auction, Pokémon cards have transcended childhood memorabilia to become prized assets in the world of luxury collectibles. From intricate artwork and limited print runs to pristine condition and provenance, each card tells a story of rarity, fandom, and investment potential.
