The card
PWCCMy parents laughed when I said my Pokémon cards would be worth something someday, but now in 2022, original, pristine sets of cards are indeed being sold for a ton of money, part of a recent “gold rush” trend on Pokémon cards that has culminated in the biggest sale yet of an OG Charizard.
At the PWCC March Premiere Auction, a 1999 Charizard Pokémon card just sold for a record-breaking $420,000, the most a Charizard has ever sold for, and the third highest for any Pokémon card of all time.
Why so much? Well, this was a special one, it seems. The most special, in fact. Here’s what netted that kind of price:
“The card’s price was buoyed not only by its PSA 10 Gem Mint grade – only 121 PSA 10s exist in the world at the time of the auction – but also by the fact that it is one of the cleanest copies in existence. The card has no visible whitening on the back, appears to have perfect centering, and looks to have no holo imperfections.”
Another reason the price was so high is that because of the 121 PSA 10s in the world, most are owned by serious collectors or celebrities and as such, are not likely to make it to market. So when one actually does, well, you get this kind of ridiculous price.
LONDON, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 17: Attendees compete at the Pokemon European International ... [+] Championships at ExCel on November 17, 2017 in London, England. Thousands of competitors from around the world will attend the Pokémon TCG and Video Game Europe International Championships over three days, the first International Championships of the 2018 season. The competition will feature high Championship Point payouts and a prize pool value of up to $250,000. (Photo by John Keeble/Getty Images)
Getty ImagesSo, you say, you have a Charizard at home. Can you sell it and buy yourself a house as a result? Prrrrobably not.
There are a zillion different stipulations in terms of what elevates the price to this level. It has to be the right printing, absolutely flawless condition, meaning if you held it in your hand as a kid for more than five seconds before sealing it away, it’s probably not good enough already. Then you have to have the card graded by professionals, and since this has become such a popular trend recently, there’s a huge backlog in that field, and it would take a long, long time to get that certification, whatever grade it ends up being. It’s not impossible, and you could still have a valuable one, but to reach this level, your card would have to be on another plane of existence entirely.
I believe the most valuable Pokémon card in history is still the Pikachu Illustrator card that sold for $900,000, the Japanese card that was a limited edition creation for winners of an art contest, making it exceedingly rare. No Charizard is likely to hit that mark any time soon. Before this, the previous Charizard record was $399,000.
So hey, get yours graded if you want, just…manage expectations.
