The world's largest collection of Pokémon memorabilia amassed by a superfan over 25 years is to go under The Hammer .

The haul will be sold as a single lot on 18 October.
An auction firm, based in Etwall, Derbyshire, believes The Collection could Make Up to £300,000.
The Collection consists of trading cards, Video Games , manga, films, posters, toys, action figures, books and even toilet paper, with items from the UK, US, France and Japan.
But after More Than two decades of catching 'em all, The Seller said she had decided to sell her haul " for financial reasons" although she will be keeping a few sentimental items.
The Guinness World Record certificate, which has been displayed at Hertford Museum as part of an exhibition on popular culture, will be kept as " an important keepsake" Derbyshire-based Auction House Hansons said.
David Wilson-Turner, head of The Toy department at Hansons, said: " This is a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the single largest collection of Pokémon memorabilia that has ever come to The Market . It is currently being stored in a secure lock-up.
" Pokémon has been soaring in value in The Collectors ' market for Six Years .
