An ultra-rare Pok茅mon card has sold for a record-breaking amount!
The elusive and highly sought-after Pikachu Illustrator card is one of the rarest cards in the world.
They were given out as a prize in competitions in 1998, and only 39 of them were ever made - and around 10 are thought to still exist.
A mint condition version of the card just sold for a whopping 25 million yen, or around 拢183,000 on the Japanese auction site ZenPlus to a buyer in the US.
The seller is also offering these super-rare Trainer cards
However it doesn't end there! The same seller also has these three super-rare Secret Trainer cards listed for a guide price of 拢159,000 - so they might be in for another huge sale!
The previous record was held by a different Pikachu Illustrator card in 2019, which sold for 拢150,000.
Other ultra-rare Pok茅mon cards to check your collections for include a First Edition holographic Charizard card, and a special Magikarp card which was given as a prize in Japan in 1998 to those who passed the "Tamamushi University Hyper Test" and won a Pok茅mon match at a conference in Osaka.
