Pikachu Illustrator
The Pokémon craze may have died down somewhat, but Nintendo’s media franchise still has a devoted fan base. While originally released as a pair of Game Boy games, Pokémon’s popularity led to a cartoon series, several feature length films and, of course, a collectible card game.
Charizard
The most expensive Pokémon card in the world is the Pikachu Illustrator card. Only six of these cards exist. They were created for a contest run by CoroCoro magazine in which children were invited to design their own Pokémon cards. The six winners won these holofoil trophy cards. They have been valued at up to $20,000.
Of the mass produced Pokémon cards, the most popular and expensive card is Charizard. It’s valued for its high HP of 120 and its devastating “Fire Spin” attack. It can fetch up to $125, but only if it’s a first edition card.

Holy CRAP… I used to have a 1st edition Charizard card… I remember it distinctly because I asked my dad what 1st edition meant.
It got eaten by our dog.
I use to have a first edition Charizard i gotta find that thing!
I have a charizard that I just found of my brother. I am not sure itit is 1st edition. How do you know?
My dad was heavily into the Pokemon card game, but only for the profit. It didn’t last long, maybe 3 months, but it was really neat seeing all the rare cards of that time every month in the Becketts(sp?).
A few of them went by, but never the ultra rare card of that time. Happy Birthday Pikachu holofoil.
(I was young. I didn’t know about the rare cards in other places yet.)
