The freelancer shared details of his impressive Pokémon collection. This also includes, but is not limited to, food packaging and special edition machines.

Grace Caroline, 26, has collected a total of 00042,000 items in the last 13 years.

He states: “I own one of 10 Pikachu VW Beetles that were used for advertising purposes until the late 1990s.

The cost was around 36350 ($8000) but it was not in good condition so I tried to get it repaired to the best of condition. It has cost an additional $93,970 ($5,000) in recent years.

“I also have a Lugia Cruiser, one of only five remaining made so far, and bought it for £11,900 ($15,000).”

Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Grace also has a unique Pokémon Center in New York City that sells for over 504,750. [$6,000] secondary.

Grace said, “When I was a kid, I loved manga and played Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon DS.

When I was in high school, when everyone was going through the “stage” stage, people would usually hang out and be engrossed in things, so I thought my niche was Pokémon.

I’m not the biggest fan of new items. We’re serious about buying vintage collectibles and odd items like food packaging and magazine ads.

“EBay, Facebook Marketplace, Farm Shop, and Garage Sale usually help you find the most valuable vintage items, but there’s always a lot of competition.

“I especially love the vintage advertising items and other items from the late 90’s and early 2000’s.”

The Grace Collection consists of over 300 individual items, including magazine ads, bubble baths, jumpers, t-shirts, and her prized Pikachu and Lugia Pokemon cars.

“My favorite piece is the promotional Pikachu Plus parachute that Nintendo dropped from the plane during the event, with the exception of the Pokémon Center Clock in New York, which currently costs around 70,470 ($600).

“The weirdest part of my collection is the promotional food packaging like pop-tart boxes, selfish waffles, Kellogg’s boxes and some of the Betty Crockers. I love the artwork.

“Plushies are also a big part of my collection. I have a lot of Pikachu, a shelf full of mice, and some original 151s like Snorlax, Squirtle, Pudding, and the legendary Lugia.

In addition to physical items, Grace also loves searching for rare and long-lost stock footage.

“I hope one day we open the Pokémon Museum and put vintage cars and items on display that everyone can enjoy.

In his spare time, he dedicates videos and photos of Pokémon promotional events that have been lost over time and gained something from all over the world.

Once upon a time there was a Pokémon-themed pirate ship event in Australia. An idea that I like and I look forward to other shots.

Also, there are some Pokémon Centers in New York that have very little footage, having only been open for four years in the early 2000s.

“I’ll show you anything I find. I also have posts on my website.”

His collection may provoke a variety of reactions online, but he is popular with family, friends, and manga fans.

He affirms:



Split the price of some grace items

  • PikaBug car: £10,320 ($13,000) including repairs
  • Lugia Cruise: £11,900 ($15,000)
  • Pikachu Plus Parachute: 70,470 ($600)

“Cars come with comical handicaps and people love them, especially the fact that you can sit and take pictures in this unique car.

“My partner, Ryan, 26, is not very cool and he’s not the biggest Pokémon fan, but he always helps me find things.

“The only drawback is the nasty comments I make on TikTok. People have expressed the opinion that my money should be spent elsewhere, for example on the homeless.”

I don’t have a lot of money and it’s a 13 year collection, so I didn’t spend a lot of time comparing people who get their nails and hair done every month, and during this time the value of many items increased.

I love vintage Pokemon gear and use social media to share this passion with other fans.
