- Sources : Dogo News/ CBBC Newsround

A super rare uncut sheet of Pokémon cards has gone up for auction.

The sheet was made in 1998, and is made up of 99 Pokémon cards in total, which were printed out, but never cut up into individual cards and sold.

It contains 16 holographi­c - or shiny - cards including Charizard, Mewtwo, Blastoise and Venusaur.

The sheet is up for sale on the auction site Goldin, and current offers are at 37,000 (around 27,000).

The auctioneer­s describe it as: “a historic sheet of uncut Pokemon treasures; this is an incredible and prestigiou­s display piece of immense rarity that is sure to be the crown jewel of the winning bidder.”

This particular sheet of Pokémon cards is extra special for a few reasons.

The sheet is part of the Pokémon TCG’s 1999 Base Set, the rst set to be printed outside of apan in nglish by makers Wizards of the Coast.

As well as this, the cards are also rst edition, shadowless and feature some holographi­c cards.
