Collector in M’sia selling Pokémon cards for S$1.4M, offers S$26K commission to anyone who helps close deal

Collector in Malaysia puts Pokémon cards up for sale for S$1.4 million

While collecting is a hobby that not everyone understands, certain collections can fetch a sizeable fortune when sold to the right enthusiasts.

Last year, Damiral Imran, a collector from Penang, Malaysia, made headlines after selling a complete set of Pokémon cards for RM1.87 million (around S$605,000).

On 1 May, he posted on Facebook that he is now selling part of his personal Pokémon card collection for RM4,444,444 (around S$1.4 million).

Accepting S$1.2 million and a sports car

According to Mr Damiral, he built the collection over a span of six months.

He claims that its current market value is between RM4.68 million (S$1.51 million) and RM4.75 million (S$1.54 million), but is asking for RM4,444,444.

Alternatively, he is open to a trade involving RM3.8 million (S$1.2 million) in cash and a Mercedes-AMG GTS sports car.

To help close the deal, Mr Damiral is also offering a RM80,000 (S$26,000) commission to anyone who successfully secures a buyer.

The transaction will be conducted on a cash-on-delivery basis in Kuala Lumpur.

Previously sold Pokémon cards for S$600,000

According to Sin Chew Daily, Mr Damiral previously sold a complete set of Pokémon collectible cards, reportedly worth over RM2 million (S$650,000), for RM1.87 million last year.

The collection was sold for his asking price within 10 days of his announcement.

At the time, he had also offered a trade option involving RM1 million (S$320,000) in cash and a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.

However, the final buyer reportedly paid RM1.87 million in cash.
