The Pokemon craze reached new heights after an eight-year-old boy offered to swap his baby sister for one of the cards during a radio phone-in.

Harvey Flexman told listeners to Ocean FM, which broadcasts across Hampshire, that he would exchange his 10-month-old sister Mollie for a rare Holographic Vaporean card.

Harvey, from North End, near Portsmouth, had already offered his toys, pocket money, bed and Easter Eggs.







I drew the line when he suggested Mollie as well

Radio presenter Spencer Kelly said: "I can assure Harvey's mum that we would not have accepted little Mollie in exchange for a card. "But we did give the card to Harvey because he had an Arcanine which another little boy was desperate for." Cards banned Harvey's mum, Jo Flexman, said Pokemon cards had been banned at her son's school after children began swapping them for their packed lunches. She added: "Harvey was desperate for the Vaporean card. He said he would swap all his toys, Easter eggs, pocket money and even his bed - but I drew the line when he suggested Mollie as well."
