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.
They were easy to identify in the game as they were slightly different colouring than any of their adversaries.
Espeon is the most valuable of all the Gold Star cards as it was awarded to players that met certain criteria and was distributed to them by the Pokémon Players Club.
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.
If you’re able to find a PSA 9 card for less than $1,500 you’ll have done really well.
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.
