This comic shows just how much value is placed on a CGC ranking, and the difference half a point can make to the value of a comic book.

While it features the same material as the most expensive comic in the world, it falls short of first place because it’s grade indicates that it’s the general condition is not the best it could be. It might include creases or folds on the pages and small scuff marks on the cover, which all make a difference.

It’s all in the details!

3. Amazing Fantasy #15 – $1.1 Million

16. Gold Star Espeon Card

Cost: $3,500

First introduced in the EX line of play, Gold Star cards are the ones with the Shiny version of the Pokémon.

17. First Edition Shadowless Holographic Blastoise Card

Cost: $1,500

Everyone loves Blastoise, right? Blastoise was a super rare card in 1999 and has only become more sort after as time went on.

Cards like this are very difficult to come by.

18. Holographic Shadlowless First Edition Mewtwo Card

Cost: $1,500

Mewtwo was always one of the most elusive and rarest Pokémon in the game, so that also made his card worth a whole lot more than other expensive Pokémon cards on the list.

The base set shadowless first edition holographic card is exceedingly rare today, despite it being massively coveted in 1999.

So if you have one in your collection or lurking around in the basement, dig it out, it’s worth around $1,500!

19. Gastly – Expedition Card

Cost: $999

Gastly is not the most exciting Pokémon that springs to mind when you’re planning your next match. He’s never been a particularly popular Pokémon either, however his card has managed to break the four-digit mark.

Most pro Pokémon players would not even consider using Gastly in a match, let alone actually playing him.

However, that should give you some indication into the fact the card’s value really has no direct correlation to its competitive significance.

20. Championship Arena Card

Cost: $499

Kicking off our list is at $499, is a Championship Card from the 2005 Pokémon World Championships.

The only way to get your hands on one of these was to compete in the above-mentioned tournament or a few other competitions in 2005.

Cost: $8,700

The beauty with these is that you don’t know what type of rare cards you’re going to get.

The triangle booster pack is the most valuable, and a box will set you back a few quid. They were actually printed as a mistake when factories were supposed to stop printing any more “first edition” packs.

The price comes from them being sealed in a booster box, instead of just a booster pack.

13. Holographic Shadowless First Edition Venusaur Card

Cost: $6,500

As many Pokémon fans will know, Venusaur was a difficult card to come by, let alone a holographic one.

If you did manage to get your hands on a first edition one and held on to it, today, it could be worth a good amount of money!

14. Pikachu – Expedition Card

Cost: $5,999

Next on our list of the most expensive Pokémon cards in the world is this Pikachu Expedition.

Everyone loves Pikachu, so it’s no surprise that these loveable electrical rats cards are always in demand and command high prices.

15. Shining Charizard Card

Cost: $3,500

Shining Charizard marks the first time a “shiny” Pokémon was found in the card game.

The Pokémon itself is holographic, instead of the background, and it’s worth even more if it has a first edition marking on the bottom left-hand side of the image.
