The Pokemon card is sold for an insane amount

A rare "Pokemon" card from the first edition of the collection was sold in 1999, for a staggering sum of 420,000 dollars, according to the New York Times.

The price of a Pokemon card soared to an all-time high for a basic deck card of its kind, according to PWCC Marketplace, which recently sold the card during its March auction period.

And RT quoted the famous Japanese illustrator: "This historical piece of art designed by the famous artist Mitsuhiro Arita is easily the most famous Pokémon card ever."

The card features a perfect mint condition card rating, and of the 3,000 copies of this card, only 121 hold up to that rating, as noted by the PWCC in the card description on their website, on a scale of zero to 10.

A large number of hobbyists are interested in collecting Pokémon cards that have been an increasingly competitive case for hobbyists in recent years, including one that sold for $336,000 earlier this month.

In late 2020, a Charizard card from a similar group sold for a total of $360,000.

And one of the best-selling Charizard cards last year went with more than $490,000.
