00:00Oh my god!
00:06Welcome to Watch Mojo Español, I am Jackie and today we will show you our top 20 of the most expensive Pokémon cards.
00:15Keep in mind that prices and rarity change constantly, but we have done everything possible to keep prices relatively accurate.
00:25Woooo!
00:27A card that costs like a thousand bucks, I think.
00:30Number 20, the first edition of Blastoise.
00:34Blastoise, go!
00:36When the first Pokémon cards were released in North America in 1999, one of the most outstanding aspects was the so-called Shellfish.
00:47But wasn't it a turtle?
00:49Anyway, if you were lucky enough to have this original, we pray that you keep it and keep it very well, because the impeccable Blastoise cards of the first edition can cost $20,000 or more.
01:04And...
01:07No way!
01:09No way!
01:11In case you're wondering, the first edition refers to the black stamp that shows to the left of the Pokémon and indicates that it was produced during the first printing of these cards.
01:22Number 19, the first edition of Chansey.
01:26When you think of the most popular Pokémon of the first generation, you probably think of Charizard, Pikachu and Mewtwo.
01:35It is also likely that Chansey is not very high on your list.
01:40Rush this Pokémon to the critical care unit.
01:43Chansey!
01:44In fact, it is likely that it is not even on the list in the first place, but that did not prevent its original card from gaining popularity.
01:52Its presence in the original basic set has earned it an excellent reputation among collectors, and they have shown it with their wallets.
02:02Although it has been reprinted several times over the years, the original cards still reach prices of thousands of dollars.
02:10Obviously, being an assistant to the nurse Joy has its advantages.
02:15Number 18, Torchic from the Goldstar series.
02:19Torchic! Torchic!
02:21Well, this one's not so bad. I like it!
02:24That's that! I choose Torchic!
02:27Torchic!
02:28In 2004, TCG Player introduced elegant variants of colors of its most popular Pokémon to boost the sales of cards.
02:38To say that it worked would be to stay very short.
02:48Just look at Torchic, a very beloved fire-type Pokémon.
02:52And its Goldstar form was a rare attraction within a set that was already rare.
02:58You can probably see where this is going.
03:02Considering its low distribution rate and its very high popularity, you'll be lucky if you pay less than $25,000.
03:11If you're not careful, you can easily make a hole in your wallet.
03:16Number 17, Delta Charizard from the Goldstar series.
03:20Since its debut with collectible cards, this classic has had the habit of increasing prices.
03:27And its passage through the Dragon Frontiers collection is no different.
03:35There, Charizard and its new variant of alternative colors and dark writing flew to exceed $1,000.
03:44And then it cost $10,000 and then $20,000.
03:47It's been around for a few years, but that trend is hard to get over.
03:54While $20,000 is not a small amount of money, if you ever want one, you may want to get it now.
04:03After all, if there's something we know about Charizard cards, it's that they don't get cheaper over time.
04:16Number 16, Rayquaza from the Goldstar series.
04:25This iconic card comes from the Ex-Dioxys collection and is part of the coveted Goldstar line.
04:41Only the packages of this set cost more than $300.
04:45And if you're willing to open them, you could get a Rayquaza for more than $10,000.
04:54Huh?
04:57Oh my God!
04:59In 2023, the PCA 10 version of this card would be sold for the minimum of $48,000.
05:07However, if you can't attract this powerful beast from the sky, you still have a chance to get the Latios Latias Goldstar,
05:17which can be sold for more than $1,500.
05:21Better than nothing.
05:22This is like one of the crème de la crème of Goldstar.
05:26This is the best Goldstar card you can pull.
05:28Number 15, the Crystal series.
05:30As if the Pokémon collectible cards game didn't have enough rare variants,
05:35the Aquapolis expansion introduced a completely new exclusive series, the Crystal series.
05:43They were marketed as the so-called secret cards,
05:46and that is evident in the fact that only 9 Pokémon achieved the new form.
05:52Crystal Charizard! Holy f**k! Holy f**k!
05:55Did you hear that right?
05:57There are less than 10 different Crystal Pokémon in the entire card game.
06:02And this made rare Pokémon like Ho-Oh and Charizard into real gold mines.
06:09Since the Crystal series retired at the end of the era of electronic cards,
06:14nowadays it costs thousands of dollars.
06:18And if you want the 9, you will be writing a check with many zeros.
06:23Number 14, Magikarp from the University Promo series.
06:28If the Pokémon collectible cards game can make this useless fish into a great value collector's item,
06:35then anything is possible.
06:38Well, anything except finding a Magikarp in University for a decent price.
06:48Getting one in its original version was quite difficult.
06:52You had to live in Japan, buy a specific magazine,
06:56and then complete a notoriously difficult Pokémon trivia questionnaire.
07:01If you managed to do all that, they would send you this card, Magikarp, Ultra Rare University.
07:07Apparently only a thousand copies were made, and even less were circulated.
07:13If you don't know what this is, it's one of the rarest cards in the hobby.
07:15With all that, we are surprised that in an auction one of these was sold for $66,000.
07:25Number 13, the Shining series.
07:28In the first games, each wild Pokémon had an approximate probability,
07:33between 8,000, of being a brilliant version.
07:36Therefore, it is normal that the collectible card game has introduced its own version.
07:41We present you the Shining series.
07:46The only difference is that instead of time, finding a Shining card requires money.
07:52A lot of money.
07:54It doesn't matter if it's a Magikarp or a Mewtwo, the brand demands astronomical prices.
08:01First of all, it doesn't help that so few Pokémon have a Shining card.
08:06Altogether, that adds up to a collection that is worth its weight in gold.
08:11Number 12, the first edition of Lugia.
08:14Ironically, this collectible card is as rare as the legendary Pokémon it represents.
08:24Although that shouldn't surprise us considering the euphoria it generated with its launch.
08:30In the apogee of Pokémania in the late 90s, Lugia played one of the new legends of the second generation.
08:39And that included a leading role in the beloved Pokémon, the movie 2000.
08:44As a result, this first edition card has continued to be a hard-to-get collection piece for more than 20 years.
08:58That has raised its demand to thousands, and that is for a deteriorated version.
09:04For a high-quality copy, the price is over $50,000.
09:15Number 11, Master's Scroll promotional card.
09:19One of the most expensive Pokémon cards on the market doesn't even have a Pokémon.
09:24In its place is the prestigious Master's Scroll, which was only distributed to members of a Japanese fan club in 2010.
09:33The coaches had to participate in several activities and mini-games.
09:38And once they accumulated the sum of 8,600 points, they received one of these special cards as a reward.
09:46Since the Master's Scroll was never officially launched, outside of this exclusive event in Japan,
09:52foreign buyers have increased the price to amazing heights.
09:58Let's say it's not out of the ordinary to see a Master's Scroll card reach a value of 6 digits.
10:05Number 10, first autographed edition of Venusaur No Rarity Symbol.
10:11Curiously, this card doesn't actually have the traditional Rarity symbol, and that only makes it even more special.
10:19Still, none of that is the reason why Venusaur is so popular.
10:24The real source of income is the autograph of the famous Pokémon illustrator, Mitsuhiro Aita.
10:31In its majority, there are only 5 of these Venusaur cards signed, and that shortage has led to absurd prices.
10:39You can get a standard Venusaur card for a few thousand dollars, and the same happens with Mitsuhiro's autograph.
10:48But if you want them together, you may have to break your reach.
10:52Number 9, Master Key prize card.
10:55While all the cards we've seen so far are quite expensive, at least they're somewhat in circulation.
11:02You can't say the same about the prize cards of Pokémon tournaments.
11:06These are exclusively given to tournament finalists and to winners of international Pokémon events,
11:14which means you can't just pick one out of a package.
11:19And Hunter Butler is your 2020 Dallas Regional Champion here.
11:24There are only approximately 30 of these prize cards,
11:28since they were only given to competitors in the Pokémon World Championship of 2010.
11:35If you're lucky enough to get one, you'll have to spend more than $20,000.
11:41Pika! Pika!
11:43Number 8, coach prize number 1.
11:46Most of us never bothered to learn the real game of which the Pokémon collectible cards game gets its name,
11:55but if you did it and became incredibly good at it,
11:59you could have the opportunity to get a coach prize card number 1.
12:05Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
12:07The 1997 tournament champions received this impression of Secret Super Battle,
12:14with holographic Mewtwo,
12:16but it's unlikely that any of these contenders would think that the card would someday be worth $90,000.
12:24In July 2020, the Heritage auctions sold one for almost six figures.
12:30If you're one of the few people in the world who owns one,
12:34it's undoubtedly the central piece of any collection.
12:38Number 7, Gold Star Ambreon promo.
12:42There is no hope of getting this Ambreon out of a random package,
12:46at least not the rare version.
12:48Instead, the only legitimate way to get this card was to accumulate points through exclusive events for Japanese.
12:57Since the launch sale was also extremely unique, not many of these Ambreon cards saw the light.
13:06That's cool.
13:08Although the English versions are comparatively cheaper,
13:12the original Japanese promotional cards can be sold and have done so for up to $70,000.
13:20Of course, after some re-launches.
13:23Before they went into circulation once again, we can't imagine how much they cost.
13:29A whole bunch of random crap.
13:31Boom.
13:34Mint Nine.
13:36Gold Star Play Promo Ambreon.
13:41This is a big dog right here.
13:43Number 6, first edition of Charizard.
13:52Forget Wall Street. Put your money in Charizard.
13:56When the basic set was launched for the first time,
13:59this fiery lizard was the best thing you could get.
14:03And it still is today.
14:05In fact, there are too many extremely rare Charizard cards to name,
14:10including some that we already mentioned like Shining and Crystal Charizard,
14:15others like Rainbow Charizard, Shiny Charizard GT...
14:19Well, you get the idea.
14:21However, at the top is the holy grail,
14:24the base set of the first edition of Charizard without shadows,
14:28which had an approximate price of $50,000.
14:33The card itself is considered the crown jewel of the Pokemon world.
14:36That is, before the rapper Logic set a new record with his winning offer of $226,000 in 2020.
14:47Two cards left.
14:48Oh! We got Charizard!
14:51However, since that great boom, the price has gone down again,
14:55but it's still the holy grail of Charizards.
14:58Even the Charizard without shadows, which is not from the first edition,
15:02is still easily a card that costs thousands of dollars.
15:07Number 5.
15:08First edition of Blastoise printed on a Magic the Gathering.
15:12Before the official release in English of the Pokemon card game,
15:17the publisher Wizards of the Coast created several test cards using their ancient existences.
15:24The result?
15:25A first edition of Blastoise printed on a Magic the Gathering card.
15:3020 years later, one of them resurfaced and the collector got down to work.
15:36Getting a first edition of Blastoise on its own will cost you around $20,000,
15:43but if you want this incredibly rare test card, you must add an extra zero.
15:49And we are not exaggerating, it was sold for the sum of $216,000 in 2021,
15:56and today that price would probably have a three in front if there is another.
16:03Number 4.
16:04Ishihara GX.
16:05Pokemon GX is a variant of the collectible cards that was introduced in the era of the sun and the moon
16:12with much higher HP Pokemon.
16:15You won't find it in a package, but this unique GX card was presented to a select group of people
16:22in a private birthday celebration in 2018 for Tsunekatsu Ishihara,
16:28the executive director of Pokemon International.
16:31It is different from any existing card,
16:34since it represents PokeBoss himself reaching a Master Pokeball
16:39and presents a special congratulatory attack to commemorate his 60th birthday.
16:45In an auction, this card was recently sold for the incredible amount of $247,000.
16:54Number 3.
16:55The Kangaskhan Family Event Trophy.
17:03Be careful, now we are entering the territory of the six figures.
17:08First of all, the Kangaskhan Family Event Trophy card,
17:12a prize for participants in the mega battle tournament between parents and children in 1998.
17:20This magnificent card presents Kangaskhan's father and his baby,
17:24a very appropriate prize for a family-themed event.
17:28Like Master Key and Ishihara GX, the Kangaskhan Trophy is in the holy grail collectible category
17:37and there are less than 50 in the world.
17:40There are only 11 in PCA 10 condition, one of which was sold on eBay in October 2020.
17:48The current price, some fantastic $150,000.
17:53It's time to start building those tournament decks.
17:57Number 2.
17:58The Pikachu Trophy.
18:02The next card on our list is the trophy card that would end with all the trophy cards,
18:08given the winners of the first Pokémon card game tournament in 1997,
18:13the Pikachu trophy exists in the forms of first, second and third place,
18:18but all three are remarkably valuable.
18:21In 2019, an iteration of the third place was sold for $100,000.
18:27However, after the pastime exploded in the fall of 2020,
18:31you can bet that the value of that card is increasing.
18:35At the time of this video it appears on eBay for $1,000,000.
18:39It is such a unique and unattainable card that its false versions, also known as Proxy,
18:46have been sold for more than $3,000.

18:54and activate the bell to receive notifications of our latest videos.
18:59Very well, let's see our position number 1.
19:02Number 1.
19:03Pikachu Illustrator.
19:05Historically, trophy cards were not only given to the winners of card game tournaments.
19:12In 1997, Pokémon organized the CoroCoro Comics Illustration Contest,
19:18and the winners of this event took home the now mythical Pikachu Illustrator card.
19:24It is known that there are a total of 39 of these in the world,
19:28and to give you an indication of their value, a version was sold for $50,000.
19:34In 2013.
19:36Since then, you can bet that the price has been rising.
19:41In an auction in October 2019, this piece of Pokémon history was sold for the amazing amount of $195,000.
19:51However, sales outside the network of this card are even more incredible,
19:56since Logan Paul bought a copy of Gem Mint 10 for $5,000,000.
20:02Whether or not it is worth $5,000,000, we will let you decide.
