An extremely rare Pokémon card recently sold for $300,000 at an event organized by Heritage Auctions. The card is Trophy Pikachu No. 3 Trainer Bronze Professional Sports Authenticator Trading Card Game NM-MT 8 (Media Factory, 1997) First Tournament Holoand aside from a slightly awkward name, it is one of four known cards in existence, as it was only given to the top three participants in the first official Pocket Monsters Tournament in Chiba, Japan, held in 1997.
There were also some other famous and expensive Pokémon cards and items at auction, with an uncut cosmos foil sheet of more than 100 cards going under the hammer for $250,000.
The auction didn’t just catch the eye of wealthy Pokemon fans, as there were also some rare Magic: The Gathering cards up for grabs. Being a hoarder seems wise these days with the thought that you never know when you might get your hands on something that might one day sell for a very high price.
