Pikachu Illustrator Pokemon Card
Maker: Nintendo
Original Price: Free
Worth Today: $54,970*
The Pikachu Illustrator, often known as “The Holy Grail” of the Pokemon universe, is the most precious card in existence in the Pokeverse. The Pokemon card is worth millions of dollars, which is amusing given that the recipient received it for free. The Illustrator card was given as a reward in a competition for artists who created the finest Pokemon fan art. The print on the card is a congratulatory message for the winners. The Pikachu Illustrator Card is expensive because it is extremely rare; just a few dozen were ever printed. CoroCoro, a Japanese magazine, organized the contest that resulted in their creation in 1998.

The auction of a 2×4 gold brick, coupled with rare rarities such as the 10226 Sopwith Camel, Wooden Duck, and San Diego Comic Con Zebra Batman, made Lego history as one of the company’s most costly goods. The gigantic Lego was constructed of 14-karat gold that cost $205. The golden brick was originally presented as a trophy to employees who had done something exceptional for the organization. The one that went up for auction was given to a German employee in 1971. He upgraded the program for selling Legos and received this pure gold Lego, as well as a thank-you letter for his efforts.
