PIC BY WILLIAM LAILEY / CATERS NEWS (PICTURED- Nigel wears a bag and a Pikachu as he shows his collection) - A dad was stunned to discover a set of Pokemon cards he was given over 20 years ago for looking after his brother is worth a whopping ?35,000. Nigel Brookes, 34, a business owner from Birmingham, was gifted the complete set of cards by his mum in 1999 after he defended his then seven-year-old brother, Jeremy, now 28, from kids who were trying to con him out of his best cards. His proud mum bought Nigel, the collector's edition pack to reward him - even though the grumpy teen didn't even like Pokemon. Begrudging the ?300 pack of cards as a 'waste' of a birthday present, 13 year old Nigel set them aside hoping they would be worth something one day. -SEE CATERS COPY
