Most Expensive Pokémon Card Ever Sells For Eye-Watering Amount

Most Expensive Pokémon Card Ever Sells For Eye-Watering Amount

You have got to be kidding me.

The world's most valuable Pokémon card has sold at an auction for more than £44,000, and there was me thinking that selling fivers on the internet was an unusual idea.

The so-called 'Pikachu Illustrator' card snapped up for $54,970 (£44,068) at an auction in Beverly Hills, California, last week.

The illustration on the card was designed by Atsuko Nishida, one of the chief Pokémon graphic illustrators and depicts the fan-favourite Pikachu holding drawing utensils.

According to reports, just 30 copies of the rare card were made, meaning that there are still 29 out there that, if yours, could make you rich!

Dig deep, people, and if you are one of the lucky few who own one of the rare pieces of card, just remember who told you that it was worth a fortune... That's me.
