I knew you were correct, but I guess I didn’t equate popularity to “most graded card of all time”. I think I expected older cards to still have a lead over this card but was wrong.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to add this to my tracker and will post an update if/when this dethrones Grey Felt Hat Pikachu.
Every vendor pov video on youtube I watch based in the UK, these always sell fast.
There are zillions of these readily available at shows. There is demand and the price is holding up, but they are definitely not hard to get at market price. If you show these to most vendors, they’ll take them all day for ~85% but they’re not aggressively buying or looking to trade for these.
i feel all hyper modern pokemans are way overpriced (say from 2021+) but they arent crashing 
I’m just waiting for the rillaboom/donkey kong serial numbered cards. I’m excited
Crash is a strong word to use for the Van Gogh Pikachu. A stock market 'crash" or a crypto “crash” is more warranted for the definition of a crash. It is a sudden / huge drop and sudden impact on the market and/or stock. Considered more that 20% - 30% in a very very short period of time. In crypto even more than 50%+. Thats a crash. Sure it can happen in Pokemon but the word “crash” is extreme imo. Pokemon trends downwards at times but slowly. Not instantly.
I dont believe the Van Gogh Promo Pikachu would ever suddenly “crash” and stay there. It has plenty of room to grow and trend upwards. Van Gogh Pikachu is of course a Pikachu (everyones favorite), a Promo, a Van Gogh Collaboration, very very popular, very liquid, and has shown healthy growth. This isnt even considering if its a Gem Mint grade.. My opinion is that it continues to grow. I wouldnt be surprised if it hits and maintains $1500+ in the coming years.
Funny that you bring up crypto because I once thought that some iconic Pokémon cards could become the next crypto. There are two strong candidates in my opinion: Moonbreon and Van Gogh Pikachu.
These cards have real speculative or investment potential. They don’t function like regular Pokémon cards. The higher the population, the more liquid the card becomes. Van Gogh Pikachu, in particular, is a Pikachu and a language-exclusive card. That combination could easily make it a true crypto-like card
