Absolute nightmare: Pokémon fan accidentally washes rare Charizard cards in the washing machine

Something like that, the Charizard might have looked when he noticed what was in store for him.

What’s worse than accidentally washing a handkerchief with you? Right, to put a super expensive and rare Pokémon trading card in the washing machine instead! It doesn’t mess up the rest of the laundry, but the action will certainly spoil your mood. Especially when it comes to a special Charizard from 2005 that is worth loads of money. But that is exactly what happened to a collector who was devastated.

Pokémon collector forgets expensive Pokémon cards in the washing machine

This is what it’s about: Pokémon trading cards are currently experiencing an unparalleled boom. Some of the cards fetch insane prices and can therefore be worth a lot of money. So it’s no wonder that most of the rare trading cards are guarded like the apple of their own eye by their owners. It is best to keep them completely sealed and stored in a dry place out of direct sunlight.

Real nightmare: Pokémon fan and collector Ivy R has apparently somehow forgotten to look through the pockets of her clothes or overlooked the card. You may know that. In any case, the rare Charizard card must somehow have gotten into the washing machine and been washed with it. Much to the fan’s annoyance. In a Tiktok video that has been shared thousands of times, it shows what the map looks like now:

In the video, Ivy R explains that she is in shock. She doesn’t even know how to feel. Nonetheless, she had declared at the time that she would still have the value of the card appraised.

On the advice of many fans and commentators, the Charizard trading card was packed in rice, among other things, to get the liquid out again.

It does not look good:
