Jan 19th - Jan 25th, 2014 - Trophy Kangaskhan - Promotional

[espeon1993]

I know a couple of people who own this card, I think there are less than 50 though I have also read 30 that were made. Kangaskhan 1998 Parent Child Mega Battle Trophy Card. In Japan, this card was released through the Parent/Child Mega Battle tournament held in May 1998. The prize was awarded to those parent and children teams who had reached a certain number of wins. This card is one of few promotional cards to feature the original Pocket Monsters Trading Card Game logo as a set symbol. This symbol is usually reserved for only the rarest of Pokémon cards. Personally I love the art myself

I’m pretty sure there are more than 30 copies in existence. I would say the amount is between 50 and 80 copies… That’s just my personal opinion from the amount of copies I’ve seen popping up in the past 9 years so dont quote me on that (I know people tend to do it in regards to quantity discussions).

There are definitely more than 50 copies of the trophy khan. The karp and khan were always rumored by the japanese to have had around 1,000 intended distribution, but if those numbers were actually distributed and the amount remaining is impossible to quantify.

@guangjohto

yeah cheers mate! I just thought it would be good to put that info in the original post, too. Does anyone know how many are out there? Have they been graded before?

Yes, there are graded examples:

Goodness gracious

I usually just have something quick as the text for the Cotw. When I took over, I figured the idea of Cotw was to introduce people to cards they may not have known of before, and to post cards everybody does know so we can all talk about them. Either way I didn’t ever really think it was intended to be a history/back story of the card with a lot of details. If somebody thought the card looked cool then they could research it themselves.

Having said that if you guys want me to maybe put a bit more information into these then I will.

IMO it is fine the way you have been handling it.

I’m just really grateful for all that you do to follow up with this and try to make it interesting. Content generation is so important and I’m horribly inept at it.

So it’s decided, when I will be engineer and earn money, I will buy one copy of this card

Oh! you we’re the one who bought that listing!! I see now.

This was on ebay last year I think the three for quite a few grand or something, and it was open to offers.

Nice work!!

[smpratte]

Actually this was not an ebay purchase.

@kkthxbai you’re referring to Ali’s cards that sold on eBay recently. They are not the cards in the picture which belong to Scott. I know at least 4 members here who own a Trophy Khan. There are a few more who are hunting for their copy.

The Trophy Khan has gained popularity in the last year or so and have increased in value quite significantly.

Oh ok,

because I remembered a listing with the unikarp, trophykhan and tropical wind all three PSA graded together much like @smpratte 's photo. It must of been Ali’s listing as you mentioned from last year.

I didn’t know what it sold for though.

There was even one on YJA recently… they will pop around…

I hope…

The eBay listing had the Trophy Khan, Unikarp and the bilingual 9th Lucky Stadium.

Amongst trophy card collectors, the Trophy Khan has become sort of a must-have. I am looking for one myself as I’m very impressed with its artwork done by Ken Sugimori and the original Pocket Monster logo made its overall design really attractive. Perhaps one of these days…
