Double? Make that more than four times as high. When it was revealed in October 2016 I made this post using the at the point current gold prices:
11 grams really?! Even for 24 karats (.999+ pure gold) it will only be worth 444.90 USD… And it will probably be something like 18 karat instead, which is worth about 333.68 USD for 11 grams. (Gold Calculator source )
And here I thought it would be around 1250 USD of gold, and 750 for the actual collector’s item…
The gold price today for 24 karats (.999+ pure gold) according to the same calculator is 628.08 USD, or 471.06 USD for 18 karats.
Yet, the most recent sold solid golden Pikachu on PWCC last week went for 12,655.10 USD…
Greetz,
That is such a beautiful card and a unique piece. I wish I knew about it many years ago because I would of jumped on it! This is why I love what Japan has been doing. Keeping collector’s happy!
