expensive pokemon cards

The most expensive Pokémon card ever sold is the Pikachu Illustrator card, which sold for an astonishing $5.275 million in July 2021. It is considered the Holy Grail of Pokémon card collecting because only 41 copies are known to exist, making it extremely rare and valuable. This card was originally awarded to winners of illustration contests held by the Japanese magazine CoroCoro Comic in 1997 and 1998. Other notable expensive Pokémon cards include the Trophy Pikachu No. 1 Trainer card, Topsun Charizard (Blue Back), and various rare Charizard cards, with prices ranging in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
