Pokémon, quien da más?...

Miss Morgan's class (el salón de Bidane para hacernos entender), is engaged in some fascination about pokémon. They had a pokémon day weeks ago, of course the children had so much fun trading cards and negotiating about it, which is good for the skills they need to handle.
Bidane has a pack of cards that she got at school and it is her treasure.
Today we went to the thrift store (un bazar), Aitana & Bidane found a pokémon ball, they wanted it so much, -I said, O.K you can have it- It is just two dollars Aitana jumped excited. It was wrapped in a sealed bag, when shaked it, we knew somethig was in it. So finally after the whole day expecting and anxious to open it. -I used it as a reward to good behaviour-, we found, it was a collection card, "23 karat gold plated pokémon card".
I went to the internet and learnt its price is 10-50 dlls. It doesn't have a box, so according to my "Antique Road Show" training, probably it will worth inside the low range. This is the first time something like this happen to me, buying something collectible, thinking it is just more stuff to pick up from the floor.

The pokémon ball and its content has been instigator of problems in the house. I think now it worths less than 1 dollar!
