Collecting and selling Pokemon cards is a pretty lucrative business these days, with the rarest ones out there going for several million dolla🌊rs. There are no c🐷ards rarer than the Pikachu Illustrator promo card though, which saw a PSA Grade 10 quality version become the most expensive in existence thanks to Logan Paul splashing over $5 million for it back in 2021.
The Pikachu Illustrator we're focusing on today may not have been sold for that much cash, but it's still managed to earn its owner a whopping $2 million after being sold on auction site Goldin earlier today (thanks ). That makes it the second most expensive Pokemon card ever sold at the time of writing, sandwiched between two other Pikachu Illustrator cards - a PSA Grade 9 and the aforementioned PSA Grade 10 - that were 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:both purchased by Logan Paul.
I Take Back Everything Bad I Said 🥃About Shiny Pokemon In Paldean Fat🦄es
The new approach to Shiny Pokemon i🌠n Paldean Fates is making me excited for Shinies again.
I say "at the time of writing" because there's actually an identical Pikachu Illustrator card , presumably by the same owner. The bidding is already at $240,000 after just 13 bids, and there's every chance that this card will sell for the same or a higher amount than the card that is the focus of this article.
Other notable Pokemon TCG sales that took place this year include the sale of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a Pikachu Silver Tro𒅌phy car🔴d for $440,000 and 168澳洲幸运5开𒉰奖网ಌ:a Pikachu Bronze Trophy card for $300,000.
If you're sat there wondering why this particular card is being sold for millions at auctions, allow me to provide you with some context. Pikachu Illustrator Pokemon cards are exceptionally rare, and ones in mint quality condition are even rarer. Only 39 of them actually exist, with only 20 distributed, and were given out to children whose drawings won one of three illustration contests in Japanese magazine CoroCoro held between 1997-1998.
That makes these particular cards over 25 years old at the very least, and keeping them in good enough condition to earn a PSA Grade 9 or 10 over that amount of tim💦e is a challenge for a collector of any object, never mind one that collects flimsy cardboard.
They're essentially Pokemon TCG relics at this point, and are very much treated as such by millionaires, who are depressingly the only people that can actually afford to own these cards these days. That is, unless you won a Japanese Pokemon illustration contest back in 1998, then you might want to go and check your attic.
