Pokemon Cards: Varied Prices

Pokemon was originally a video game released for Nintendo’s Game Boy back in 1996. It quickly became one of the console’s flagship games, and their investments led to international success. To this day, Nintendo continues to release spin-offs of the original game. In fact, the gaming company has branched into becoming one of the most successful media franchises in the industry.

Apart from the several animated series and video games, Pokemon cards have been one of the most popular venues of the franchise. Some of the rare cards can go up to several hundreds of dollars. One of the rarest is the Pikachu Illustrator — only 41 copies were distributed in history. A near mint copy could fetch up to $375,000.
