Pokémon cards are helping Caleb King, a young college student from the University of North Georgia, fulfil his dream of enrolling in medical school, as he’s earned over $80,000 selling rare editions.<\/p>\n

The Pokémon card craze has been taking over Twitch in recent months thanks to content creators like Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo and Ludwig Aghren making pack opening streams a regular occurrence, with King making a smart investment years before the hype reached its peak.<\/p>\n

King, a self-proclaimed Pokémon fan since his childhood, purchased packs of cards back in 2016 for $4,000, an investment that soon paid off in a big way, according to an interview made by Fox Atlanta<\/a>.<\/p>\n
