Paul, who has spent quite a bit of money collecting Pokemon cards over the last few months, initially flew in to make an offer on a rarer version of the card: a BGS-graded 10 Charizard!
After hearing about the offers that Gary had turned away, Paul decided not to bother making an offer on that card, asking instead if he could purchase one of the PSA 10 cards.
While Gary had 7 of the PSA 10 Charizard cards prior to the sale, he initially seemed skeptical that Paul would make him an enticing enough offer.
It probably didn't hurt that Paul brought the money with him in cash but, according to Gary, the reason he was willing to part with the card boiled down to Paul's passion?
