I recently seen one sell for $6300 on eBay and was wondering if this is the price the card is going for nowadays ?
One also sold for $5,900 in a recent PWCC auction, so it seems that way. It’s a bit odd to me seeing as how Hitmonchan has always been considered (by most) to be one of the least desirable holos of the Base Set. I haven’t checked the pop report, but maybe it’s just a hard card to grade?
There are a couple reasons why Hotmonchan is a difficult grade and earns a higher price than other holos.
It was the staple playable card. A basic Pokémon with 70hp and a one energy 20 attack was ideal.
Also due to its numbering (#7) it sat next to the binder ring, and had a higher chance of binder idents.
