6. Tropical Mega Battle No. 2 Trainer Card
Cost: $60,000
As a prize derived from a series of tropical Mega Battles, which consisted of 7 tournaments depending on player ability, the top three players were given a trainer card with an Exeggutor on the front.
They were then able to present these cards to gain world-class treatment at any Tropical Mega Battle.
The cards are now incredibly hard to find, and it’s thought that the gold card is worth more than $100,000.
7. No. 3 Trainer Promo Card
Cost: $32,499
The No.3 Trainer was awarded to the third highest-ranking player in the annual World Championships.
To many, this card is seen as a badge of honour, and one that is highly regarded in the industry.
Therefore its price is mainly derived from its exclusivity and kudos, but whether someone is willing to pay it’s asking price or not is a different story.
8. Tropical Wind Card
Cost: $10,000
The English Tropical Wind was awarded to participants of the 2004 World Mega Battle tournament and doesn’t really cost a lot of money to purchase if you wanted your own.
However, the 1999 version, which was handed out to prize winners of another Tropical Mega Battle Tournament, is worth a great deal more!
Because it’s been awarded to some of the worlds best players, it now demands $10,000.
9. Articuno – Tropical Mega Battle Card
Cost: $9,999
Next on our list of the most expensive Pokémon cards in the world is the 1999 Articuno.
This card was awarded as a prize during the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament.
There are standard versions which you can purchase, however because of their rarity and association with some of the worlds top players, $9,999 is the bare minimum of what you’re going to have to pay to get your hands on one!
10. Computer Error – Kamex Mega Battle Card
Cost: $9,999
Originally distributed with a monthly issue of the CoroCoro comic, the Computer Error – Kamex Mega Battle card was then awarded to prize winners competing in the 1998 Kamex Mega Battles.
The card did earn some later reprints, but the original Japanese versions are worth far more than any of the English ones, hence the $9,999 price tag.
