Based on the search results, here are some of the rarest Pokemon cards:
-
Pikachu Illustrator Card: This is widely considered the rarest and most expensive Pokemon card in existence. Only 39 were passed out in 1998, and just ten confirmed copies exist today. The card has consistently fetched high prices over the past five years, typically between $375,000 and $6 million.
-
No Rarity Venusaur: This is one of the rarest cards ever sold as it was never officially released to the public, and thus there are only two in existence. These cards were originally made by Wizards of the Coast as part of their bid to win the rights to produce the English version of the Pokémon TCG.
-
Pre-Release Raichu: This card wasnt even meant to exist. It was printed by mistake during the production of Jungle, the games second expansion, and all but an alleged ten of them were destroyed. Those remaining ten were then given to certain Wizards of the Coasts employees, though exactly who owns them isnt known.
-
Gold Star Espeon and Umbreon: These are two of the rarest cards in the Gold Star Pokemon set, which is one of the most valuable Pokemon sets ever produced.
-
Masters Key: Given out originally at the 2010 Pokemon World Championships, only 36 of these cards were ever created, making it technically one of the rarest Pokemon cards to ever exist in the hobby’s nearly 25-year-plus history.
Its worth noting that there are many other rare and valuable Pokemon cards out there, and the value of these cards can fluctuate over time based on supply and demand.
