1. Pre-Release Raichu Card
Cost: Unknown
Kicking it at the top spot on our list is the Holy Grail of Pokémon cards – Pre-release Raichu.
There are an estimated eight cards in circulation that have the “PRERELEASE” badge.
Everything else on the card remains the same as the base set version, except a stamp that serves as the main differentiator.
This card is so rare that it’s impossible to value, so it’s left unknown until one finally, if ever, goes up for sale!
2. No. 2 Trainer Promo Card
Cost: $200,000
The No.2 Trainer Card costs more than double the price of the No.1 card, however, it’s pretty difficult to find and single listings like this are rare, therefore the owner can demand whatever price they like for it.
If someone is prepared to pay $200,000 for it, then so be it, however, it could sit on the market for several months and dramatically reduce in price if know one id willing to pay that much.
3. Kangaskhan – Parent/Child Promo Card
Cost: $133,000
This card was awarded as a prize at a 1998 parent and child tournament.
It is one of the most prestigious cards left in the world, and thousands competed in the competition for the right to be named Pokémon’s ultimate piece of merchandise.
After the competition, the card was instantly retired, which dramatically increased its value.
4. Pikachu Illustrator Card
Cost: $100,000
The fourth most expensive Pokémon card in the world is the Pikachu Illustrator.
Supposedly there were 39 of these mystical cards, but it’s thought that there are only six left in existence.
So, if you manage to get your hands on one of these, then you’re looking cashing it in for roughly $100,000!
5. No. 1 Trainer Promo Card
Cost: $70,000
Next on the list is Pikachu’s No. 1 Trainer Promo Card.
The Pokemon franchise held a two-day competition in 1997 to celebrate their success. This gave birth to the official Pokémon Card Game tournament.
The No.1 Trainer Promo card was reprinted multiple times and used in several competitions, so that’s why this card is not the most expensive Pokémon card in the world but still worth a good chunk of change.
