Imran's journey began in a small room in Shah Alam, where he nurtured his passion for Pokémon cards. Years of dedication and persistence culminated in a collection that would make even the most seasoned collectors green with envy. His collection included rare and limited-edition cards, carefully authenticated and graded by the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA).

Imran announced the sale on his social media pages, describing it as a personal milestone rather than just a financial achievement. "My Pokémon card collection officially SOLD for RM1,870,000," he posted, alongside photographs of his meticulously arranged card collection. The buyer, also based in Malaysia, got an incredible deal, snatching up the collection that was valued at over RM2 million by global card valuation tracker Shiny.

Imran's journey is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. "From a small room in Shah Alam to making history in the Pokémon world. This is more than a sale, this is a story of passion, grind, and legacy," he wrote. The sale is not just a financial win; it's a defining moment in Imran's collecting journey.
