The most expensive Pokémon card ever sold in public is the Pikachu Illustrator, at $16,492,000 on February 16, 2026. The Raincoat Pikachu follows at $8,400,000 and the Art Academy Mudkip at $4,880,000. A card now needs a sale of $210,000 just to reach rank 100.
To make this list, a card had to be an official Pokémon card in our catalog with a public sale we could confirm. Each card is ranked by its single best confirmed sale, in any grade, in US dollars as of November 4, 2026. We checked the figures against paid-sale records and auction lot pages, and left out higher prices we could not confirm. Each row also shows how rare the card is: copies given out for prize cards, graded copies for pack cards.
A top sale is one buyer on one day. 85 of these 100 sales happened between August and October 2026, and most are for a single PSA 10. A Leafeon LV.X reached $528,000 in PSA 10 while PSA 9 copies sold for about $5,000. A PSA 10 Glaceon LV.X sold for $7,200 in September 2024 and $456,000 in October 2026. Prices can fall as fast: PSA 10 Raincoat Pikachu copies went from $8,400,000 in September 2026 to $1,037,000 on October 11 and $274,500 on October 25. Very recent auctions can also still fall through if the buyer does not pay.
$1 million and up
Tournament prizes, contest winners and five pack cards share the top 10 ranks. See the most expensive Pokémon cards ever sold for the story behind the biggest sales.

Best public sale we could confirm for each card, buyer's premium included where the venue charges one, as of November 4, 2026. The Illustrator lot also included a diamond necklace and hand delivery by the seller. A few sales set a wide range: ungraded Rayquaza ★ copies sold from about $8,000 to $34,400 in the two months before this date.
$500,000 to $999,999
This range adds the 1999 CoroCoro and 64 Mario Stadium photo-contest cards, each won by one reader, and the first of the Legendary Collection reverse holos. Those came from ordinary 2002 booster packs, and their fireworks pattern makes them easy to tell from the regular holo.

Copies given out are mostly worked out from event brackets and contest rules, not print records. Graded copies count PSA, CGC and BGS. That number is a floor, since many copies were never graded, and census data can merge holo and reverse holo.
$300,000 to $499,999
Gold Star cards, marked ★, share this range with more trophy cards and Neo Revelation 1st Edition holos.

Sales as of November 4, 2026. The Ishihara GX was a private gift, never released, and its copy count is disputed.
The rarest cards that missed the cut
Scarcity alone does not earn a place here. These prize cards were given out in tiny numbers, but no sale we could confirm reached $210,000. The first two, printed with the winner's own photo, are believed to exist in one copy each.
Sales as of November 4, 2026. Counts are worked out from event brackets and contest rules. Not every card has sold in its best grade.
Worth money, but not rare
Plenty of modern cards sell for four figures with thousands of graded copies. For comparison, here are three well-known ones.
| Card | Graded copies | Ungraded price |

Census data of October and November 2026; ungraded medians of real completed sales as of November 4, 2026.
What we left out, and why
- Higher prices we could not confirm. Some cards show far higher figures on one sold-listing site than in any paid-sale record. The Neo Genesis 1st Edition Typhlosion shows $1,549,690 there, against $336,000 for the best sale we could confirm. Those cards rank here at the confirmed figure.
- Sales too recent to count. Auctions from November 2, 2026 were too fresh to treat as paid, including an Expedition Mew at $528,000 and a Base Set 1st Edition Chansey at $288,000.
- Private sales. A PSA 10 Japanese Charizard with no rarity symbol was reported at about $1,700,000 in a private sale, and the Pikachu photo-contest card at $270,000 in June 2023. Neither is a public sale.
- Prototypes and test prints. The Presentation Blastoise, the Gold Border Blastoise and the Disco Holo Charizard were never released. Since January 2025, collectors have reported printer tracking dots that appear to date many other graded playtest cards to 2024. CGC, which graded them, said it opened an investigation and asked owners to return the cards. We found no final outcome. In August 2025 CGC also called one group of Disco Holo test prints forgeries, while still treating others as genuine.
- Prerelease Raichu. A PSA 6 sold for about $550,000, but it is a factory error with no known count, and our catalog has no row for it.
- Items that are not Pokémon TCG cards. Topsun gum cards, including the Blue Back Charizard (about $490,000 in PSA 10), Topps cards, the 24K gold Pikachu and phone cards, one of which reached $2,255,000.
- Error prints and lots. A double-holo error Shining Gyarados sold for $360,000, but our catalog does not separate error prints. Sales of several cards in one lot do not count.
- Stamped World Championships cards. Finalist and Semi-Finalist stamps are scarce (a 2004 Tropical Wind Semi-Finalist reached $300,000 in PSA 10, at a fixed price), but our catalog does not separate the stamps yet. See Worlds promo cards. The No.1, No.2 and No.3 Trainer cards handed to top Worlds finishers have no rows in our catalog yet.
- Rare cards with no public sale we could confirm. The Elite Four Trainer (probably 4 copies), the Game Show Rayquaza EX and Keldeo EX (8 each), and the Poliwag photo-contest card.
How to check if your card is on this list
- Check the print first. A ★ beside the Pokémon's name marks a Gold Star. Crystal cards from Aquapolis and Skyridge are numbered past the set total, such as 146/144. Legendary Collection reverse holos have a fireworks pattern across the card.
- Look for the stamp. A 1st Edition stamp and the missing shadow change a Base Set card's value, as our guide to first editions shows.
- Read the card. Many prize cards say so. A Trainer card titled No.1, No.2 or No.3 Trainer, or a card crediting "Photo." in place of an illustrator, is worth a closer look. Our CoroCoro guide shows those cards.
- Be honest about the grade. Every sale in these tables is a graded copy, nearly all in the top grade. An ungraded or lower-grade copy can sell for a small fraction, as the ungraded column shows.
- Check for fakes. These cards are worth faking. Compare yours with our fake card guide, and have a card graded before you trust its value.
FAQ
What is the most expensive Pokémon card?
The Pikachu Illustrator. The only copy graded PSA 10 sold for $16,492,000 on February 16, 2026.
What is the rarest Pokémon card?
By copies given out, the Japanese prize cards printed with a winner's photo, believed to be one of each. They sold for $137,500 and $132,000 in 2023, below the cut for this list. The rarest that many people have heard of are the 1997 Trophy Pikachu cards, with four of each placing. We found no print records for these, so the counts come from event rules.
How many Pikachu Illustrators exist?
39 were awarded across the 1997 and 1998 contests, and at least 41 are known. One has graded PSA 10.
Are the rarest Pokémon cards the most valuable?
Not always. The two rarest cards we could price sold for about $135,000 each and missed this list. The Torchic ★, a pack card with 2,032 graded copies, reached $2,700,000 in PSA 10. Demand and grade move prices as much as scarcity does.
Why are trophy cards so expensive?
They were never for sale: you had to place at an official tournament in the late 1990s, and few have surfaced since. Collectors also compete for very few graded copies, and PSA has graded one Kamex Bronze a 10.
Which cards on this list could I actually own?
The pack cards. 65 of these 100 show an ungraded price, starting at about $25, while the prize cards mostly trade graded. Check any card's current price on its folio page: every row in these tables links to one.
Are Japanese Pokémon cards worth more?
Not as a rule. 33 of these 100 are Japanese, mostly tournament and contest prizes, and most of the others came from English packs. See our guide to Japanese cards.
