How much did he give Gary for the Charizard?

Also didn’t some guy called Stormy or something buy some card during the pandemic that crashed afterwards?

150k was the price for Garys card to Logan. The card had peak sales around 400k. I think marshmallow bought one in that range.

I don’t know too much about the very high end of Pokemon, but I didn’t see Maxmoefoe’s Snap Gyarados on the list if we wanted to include it—allegedly $50,000.

I don’t know anything about these cards, why are they so expensive?

Limited release + Waifu premium for Lillie/Acerola.

How to obtain it:

You can only obtain these cards in special packs given out during special Japanese Expanded (Extra Battle Day) tournaments until the end of November 2019.

To make it even more difficult to obtain these in Japan, participation for these events is limited to one per person per month. Also to add another level of difficulty, you must win a lottery beforehand to get to participate in these events.

Also, this Reddit user from two years ago must be bathing in cash right now:

@Dyl links already explained it in general, but it’s mostly the waifu tax in combination with its limited availability tbh, because all three EBD cards are equally as rare and equally distributed, yet their values are roughly:

  • Lillie: 100-150k USD
  • Acerola: 40-55k USD
  • Guzma: 5-7.5k USD

Guzma is so undervalued compared to Lillie, lol…

No waifu, no shits given.

Or, crazy thought, Lillie might be a bit overvalued :upside_down_face:

True! That’s indeed a lot more accurate.
Either way, it’s weird these waifu taxes cause this much difference in equally as rare cards from the same release.

Then again, I guess huge differences in similarly released cards applies to a 1st edition Base Set Charizard vs a 1st edition Base Set Poliwrath as well. :thinking:

Supply and mostly DEMAND at its finest, I guess. :person_shrugging:

Are we adding the shadowless charizard that sold for 100k?:eyes:

This thread is really making me realize just how many different cards go for over $50k. Pokemon is crazy.

I thought so too until I checked out the Sports auctions on PWCC, Goldin, Heritage, etc. Those prices are actually insane.

Yeah some basketball cards are very expensive

Editing the wiki is too much for my boomer brain/mobile interface so here are a couple at just under 50k from Rarecandy for if nothing else some variety

Koffing snap $49,502

Daisuke Club Umbreon $45,001
