We have witnessed it surprising sales in recent months with Pokémon cards. In October, retired rapper Logic spent $ 226,000 on a first Charizard card and a student sold his trading card collection for $ 80,000 to pay for college. Not to be outdone, we’ve now seen a rare Blastoise card charge about $ 360,000.
By dialing the highest amount that a single card has achieved in an auction, you’ll be able to see why when you realize the story behind it. Created by Wizards of the Coast, which originally released the Pokémon TCG, this was one of two cover letters used to convince Nintendo to move on with a trading card game. As a result, you get a significantly higher value than your standard Blastoise card.
Around the same time, a separate auction was held for a set of first-edition TCG cards and managed to sell for an incredible $ 408,000. There is no similar story with this rare booster game, however, it was only sought after and unopened.
As for the brightest face, those of us who don’t have a hundred thousand dollars left can remember that The Pokémon Company is re-launching some iconic cards as part of the series ’25th anniversary celebrations. They include designs from the original base set, they will be large in size, however Luckily no car.
