Heritage Auctions myy tällä hetkellä vuoden 1998 Blastoisen Pokémon-korttia mukavaan hintaan 468 000 dollaria. Näitä kortteja on olemassa ainoastaan kaksi kappaletta, eikä siitä toisesta ole mitään tietoa.
Oman tarjouksensa pääsee tekemään täällä. Koska jokaisella meistähän on vajaa puoli miljoonaa dollaria ylimääräistä?
"One of two copies produced... period! And the present day existence of the other is questionable! Historic, iconic, unsurpassed... there simply aren't enough superlatives to express the importance of this card within the Pokémon hobby! Wizards of the Coast in mid-1998 commissioned Cartamundi to print two of these cards to be used as "Presentation" pieces to seek Nintendo's approval to begin printing Pokémon cards in English. To add to the desirability, the card features one of the most popular Pokémon in the game, Blastoise!
This card was graded and certified by CGC whose website showcases in detail the extent the company delved into the history and authentication of this card. It's simply unprecedented in the trading card hobby! The card is graded NM/Mint+ 8.5 by CGC, the highest-graded of the four cards mentioned in the article. The additional three cards listed in the article are all test prints with Magic: The Gathering card backs."
