A Malaysian Pokémon card collector has reportedly offered part of his prized collection for sale, seeking 1.87 million ringgit (about US$441,993) — or, alternatively, a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S plus additional cash. The collector, identified as Damiral Imran, announced the offer on social media, calling his collection “history, rarity, and legacy in one vault.”
According to screenshots from Shiny, a global trading card valuation tracker, Damiral’s full collection is worth nearly 2 million ringgit. He revealed that he has already received bids reaching as high as 1.68 million ringgit. To encourage potential leads, he also offered a 50,000 ringgit commission to anyone who successfully connects him to a buyer.
In an added incentive, Damiral said that whoever finalizes the deal will receive a rare One Piece card — inspired by Japan’s popular pirate-themed anime and manga — valued at more than 50,000 ringgit. When asked how much he had originally spent building the collection, he estimated the figure at around 1.62 million ringgit.
Photographs shared on his social media post show rows of Pokémon cards displayed on tables, each authenticated and graded by the U.S.-based Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA). The cards, individually sealed in protective plastic cases, include limited editions and rare finds featuring iconic characters like Pikachu. Behind them, boxes of special sets line the shelves, filling what appears to be an entire room dedicated to the collection.
The sale has caught the attention of Malaysia’s growing trading-card community, which has seen a surge of interest in collectible markets since the pandemic. Pokémon trading cards, especially first editions and mint-condition holographic versions, have become highly sought-after worldwide — with some rare cards fetching six-figure sums at international auctions.
For now, Damiral’s post has sparked lively discussion among collectors and enthusiasts, many expressing admiration — and surprise — at both the rarity of the cards and the bold offer that trades Pokémon nostalgia for a Porsche.
