Like game-changing card games like King of Games and Magic, Pokémon Trading Card Game has a huge following of players around the world! The IP "Pokémon" can now have a very high commercial value, and the contribution of Pokémon card games is also very large, and some of the rarer cards are extremely valuable in the collection circle and very valuable!
Although the number of Pokémon cards launched so far has exceeded 30 billion, some limited, rare, and early cards have extremely high collectible value. So, how much can the most expensive Pokémon card sell for? The doctor went to check the relevant information, briefly sorted it out, let's take a look.
Tropical Wind
For example, from 1999 to 2001, Hawaii, usa, held an international exchange event for Pokémon cards, called "The Pokemon Tropical Mega Battle", the official only invited about 50 game masters to participate in the event, and finally issued a special version of the card to the winner, including "Tropical Wind". Dr. Checked the latest transaction data, a well-preserved "Tropical Wind" printed on the duck on vacation once cost $65,100 (about 41w).
No.2 Trainer Trophy Card
The very small number of trophy cards (Trophy cards) has always been a popular collector, and the most valuable of them may be this "No.2 Trainer Trophy Card". In 1997, Japan's Kobe hosted the so-called Lizardon Mega Battle, and the runner-up prize was this trophy card. In April 2021, the transaction information of this card appeared, and the price at that time was 9.05 million yen (about 50w yuan). As for the No.1 Trainer Card that the champion can get, it must be more valuable, but the Doctor didn't see anyone trade it.
Kangaskhan
The Marsupial Card mentioned here is also a prize for a special competition. It was 1998, when an official parent-child contest was held with thousands of families involved, and participants had to win the required number of games to get the Marsupial Card. With the butt thinking, we also know that the number of such cards is very small, and at the same time, the well-known third-party identification company PSA said that only 11 marsupial cards in the world are currently perfectly preserved (level 10). The doctor found that in October 2020, there was once a pocket animal card that sold for a high price of 150,000 US dollars (about 95w yuan).
Pokémon illustrator
Pokémon Illustrator is a prize in the Pokémon Card Illustration Contest held by Japan's Happy Monthly magazine in 1997 and 1998, and players must compete to win the Excellent Award to get this card! The card illustrations were drawn by Pikachu's designer Atsuko Nishida, who at the time had only 39 officially produced them, and only about 10 are left on the market today. So how expensive is it? The latest record is that in January 2021, a Canadian buyer bought one for 38 million yen (210w yuan).
First edition of the Fire Breathing Dragon
The Fire Breathing Dragon has always been one of the most popular Pokémon, and the original Shadowless Holographic Charizard may be the most valuable of them. In October 2020, The Doctor once shared that American rapper Logic had taken a first-edition Fire Breathing Dragon card for about $220,000; after that, the transaction price refreshed to $360,000 (228w yuan).
This reminds the Doctor of a recent case where, according to overseas media reports, Punch Out Gaming( a ten-year-old video game and card store) in Forest Lake, Minnesota, usa, was recently stolen! The thieves were very knowledgeable about stealing only Pokémon cards from the store (all in stock of card packs as well as used trading cards), and the boss counted and lost at least $250,000! This thief is quite knowledgeable and knows what is worth it!
