Discover the Most Expensive Pokémon Card in the World
The most expensive Pokémon card in the world is the Pikachu Illustrator Card. Here are the details:
• It was given out as a promotion at the 1998 CoroCoro Comic Contest in Japan. Only 39 copies were made.Chuwi hi10 x
• It features the original Pikachu art from Shigeki Morimoto, who designed Pikachu. But the artwork is inverted - Pikachu is facing left instead of right.
• The rarity and unique artwork makes it extremely valuable to collectors. It is considered the holy grail of Pokémon cards.
• In 2019, one of the Pikachu Illustrator cards sold at auction for $225,000, making it the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold.
• The high price is due to its amazing rarity - there are likely less than 20 Pikachu Illustrator cards that still exist in mint condition. Most have been lost, damaged or destroyed over the years.
• No Pikachu Illustrator cards have received a PSA 10 Gem Mint rating, which would further increase its value significantly. The few known to exist still have flaws and likely top out around a PSA 7 to 8.
• The ultra-rare Pikachu Illustrator has been featured in many documentaries and news reports, further raising awareness of its value among collectors.
• Other very rare and valuable Pokémon cards include the Shining Charizard, Base Set 1st Edition Charizard, and a PSA 10 Shadowless 1st Edition Base Set Venusaur and Blastoise. But none have hit the $200K+ price tag of the Pikachu Illustrator Card.
So in summary, the Pikachu Illustrator Card holds the record as the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold due to its amazing rarity, unique artwork and iconic status as the very first Pikachu design.
