"The Priceless Mischief Surrounding a $3.2 Billion Gemstone Trove"

The Ophir Collection, a trove of 43 precious gems appraised at $3.2 billion, has become the center of a years-long battle over ownership. The collection, which includes unique and rare gemstones, has sparked confusion over its true value, with experts questioning the validity of the $3.2 billion appraisal. The collection's owner, Dion Tulk, a gem hunter and pop singer, has faced disputes from individuals claiming ownership, including Ohio businessman Brett Regal and financier Jeffrey Hackman. The collection has been used as collateral in various deals, leading to legal battles and court rulings. The latest attempt to sell the collection involved a healthcare company, Novo Integrated Sciences, proposing a convoluted deal involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs). However, talks with Novo have reportedly stalled, leaving the future of the Ophir Collection uncertain.

A Pokemon card collector's binder worth around $10,000 was appraised on Antiques Roadshow, featuring Base Set cards and rare Shadowless copies from the 1990s in excellent condition. The host suggested selling the cards individually to earn more money, but warned that the Pokemon market is volatile. The increased value of Pokemon cards has led to a rise in theft, with one group stealing over $1M in collectibles in March 2023. Recently, a PSA-graded Trophy Pikachu sold for $300,000.
