💨 Abstract

British judge Simon Cowell, with a net worth of $600 million, was seen at a London trading card event purchasing rare Pokémon cards, including a valuable Rayquaza VMAX card. Additionally, a Redditor recently got Pope Leo XIV to autograph a Pokémon Popplio card as a joke. This follows a trend of celebrities expressing enthusiasm for the once-kid-centric hobbies. The interest in Pokémon cards has also driven prices up, making it an expensive hobby.
