The rarest of rare Pokemon cards has just sold for a whopping $195,000 at auction. The card is none other than the Japanese “Pikachu Illustrator” card, one of only 39 in the world.
“What makes it so rare is that it was not sold, but awarded as a prize in an illustration contest through CoroCoro Comic,” the auction description explains. “This unique card was created specifically for the contest. In the January 1998 issue, three 1st Place winners won a copy of the card, as did another 20 2nd Place winners. With cards awarded in two more contests that year, there were a maximum of 39 copies released.”
