Simon Cowell drops thousands on a rare Pokémon card as he shocks fans with his appearance at trading show

Simon Cowell shelled out a significant amount on a scarcely found Pokémon card, leaving fans astounded when he made an unexpected appearance at a collectible card event.

65-year-old powerhouse in the music industry recently graced the London Trading Card event held a month ago at Boxpark, Croydon.

Sharing on their Instagram, I couldn’t help but post a photo of myself alongside Simon, father to young Eric, 11 years old, while we both got our hands on an exceptionally scarce trading card!

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I found myself admiring a dazzling figure clad in a sleek black top and stylish black aviator sunglasses, radiating an undeniable charm that comes with a £300M net worth.

As reported by Fanaticscollect, the collector acquired a Rayquaza VMAX Alt Art PSA 10 card for his personal collection. The estimated price for this item can vary from approximately £650 to as much as £2000.

In conversation about Simon, the trader mentioned that he appeared to be thoroughly enjoying the event, particularly the chance to engage with collectors and merchants.

He was exceptionally cordial, willingly spending time to converse with people and pose for pictures with all during his stay. Truly a pleasant individual.

Stunned followers expressed their astonishment in the post’s comment section, revealing their disbelief that the celebrity was an avid collector of trading cards.

Users expressed surprise: “Really, Simon is a fan of Pokémon? Incredible! I didn’t see that coming… That’s amazing to know he’s so unassuming…

Was Simon Cowell really surfing on a Pokémon wave? I’m curious, what was he doing there? Turns out, he wasn’t fond of it initially, but ended up loving it.

After Simon didn’t show up for Mel B’s wedding to Rory McPhee in London on Saturday, this event transpired.

At St Paul’s Cathedral, the former Spice Girl (age 50) and the hair stylist (age 38) exchanged vows in a ceremony attended by high-profile guests such as Emma Bunton, Cara Delevingne, and Katherine Ryan.

On their special day, there was an enigma as TopMob recognizes that the head of Britain’s Got Talent, Simon, wasn’t present at the event.

It’s thought that the influential figure in music was expected to be present at the grand event, but wasn’t found as Mel made her way down the aisle.

It’s unclear why Cowell and his fiancée, Lauren Silverman, didn’t show up as they had initially intended to attend together. The cause of their sudden non-appearance remains a mystery.

For quite some time now, friends Cowell and Mel have shared a bond, as they’ve both held the role of judges in shows like The X Factor and America’s Got Talent.

More recently, it came to light that Cowell let go of Mel from America’s Got Talent. However, they demonstrated a lack of lingering animosity when she made a comeback for the show during its 20th anniversary season this past year.

TopMob has contacted Cowell’s representatives for comment.

The absence of Cowell stems from recent reports that he was due to attend Mel’s wedding alongside his competitor, music manager Simon Fuller.

At her wedding, it was believed that she extended invitations to not just one but both longtime adversaries, the two music managers engaged in a feud spanning decades. This could potentially set the stage for an uncomfortable reconciliation.

At his prime age of 65, Fuller is renowned as the most prosperous British music tycoon ever, having managed The Spice Girls during their peak period. This reportedly sparked intense envy in Cowell, likewise aged 65, who had previously declined them.

A disagreement occurred when Simon Fuller, the creator of Pop Idol, filed a 100-million-pound lawsuit against Cowell, as he started a television show with a format similar to The X Factor following its creation.

They reached a settlement but the battle erupted again in 2011 over producer credits.

A source said before the wedding: ‘I’m sure everyone involved will behave impeccably.’
