Sharing a picture of themselves with their grandmother, EnabIe said: “Sadly [she] passed away in April [2022]. Last year she mentioned to me she had Pokémon cards she opened in the 90s. But I never really thought about it much more than that. Little did I know, she had a huge binder full.

I was in disbelief when I found it. Sent them out for grading and they came back last week, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.”

The post quickly gained attention online with many fans sending their condolences as well as thanking EnabIe for sharing the “touching” tribute.

“This was a great way to honor her,” they added. “She collected a lot of different things and I guess this was one of them. Must’ve put all of these straight into the binder upon opening as they were all in great condition.”
