hears the one i can see on ebay but course i feel like i am way out
Solid topic, but difficult to provide evidence for high end sales as most are private.
Here is the other illustrator card I sold for 50k. Again, the funds for items above 5 figures are typically wired privately.
A few other notable high end sales:
2004 no 1 Trainer: $14,000
Snap Pikachu: Ā£11,000
Prerelease Raichu: $10,500
1st Edition Base Set Box: $10,000 @garyis2000 BGS 10 1st Edition Base Charizard was 5 figures as well, donāt remember the exact quote.
If you want to include trophy card sets, the 1997 Pikachu trophy set went for around $24,000 in the year 2000. That was the only known or verified time a complete set of the 1997 pikas sold together in one listing.
1 and 2 pikachu illustrator at $54.970 and $50.000
3 2004 no 1 Trainer: $14,000
4 shadowless zard psa 10 and $11,999
so if the set was sold togther for $24,000 be $8000 on each pika trophy
@jameskray you canāt break up sets and divide the price between the three, that would be like taking a base set that sells for $200 and saying charizard is worth less than $2. Itās a set of cards being sold as a set. The list is going to be āboringā if youāre going with pure numbers the only cards that demand high prices are Trophy cards/illustrator/snap cards, Charizard 1st ed, and the Pr Raichu. That is the top 10. As for the specific order I donāt know, but those are the only cards that demand $8,000+ in price.
Also, in relation to the general discussion, a lot of the high end cards have not recently sold publicly and/or graded. I am not referring to yahoo japan, or any other private Japanese sites that are the textbook definition of restricted markets. There is a lot of potential value that cannot be properly determined. I could speculate from my experience with the higher end items, but it would nonetheless be speculation.
I won the BGS 10 1st Base Charizard on eBay for $10,800.00 last year. Soon after I was offered 18,000.00 privately and passed. I posted a pic of the eBay page with the offer which was made on eBay somewhere here on efour. Earlier this month Rick Harrison offered me 30,000.00 and with some trepidationā¦passed again:(
So whatās the rough number how many of these were given out? Lately Iāve seen this card mentioned frequently here but almost no one seems to have it ( except the copy youāve showcased on youtube ).
I spoke with a couple contestants and there were 12 japanese players at the 2001 tournament. I also spoke with one of the japanese contestants and they donāt want to sell.
I have noticed that more people want the japanese copy since it is a āPā promotional card. Media Factory achieved professional troll level with that card.
