Product Information

Just so we’re clear: this guide isn’t the same as professional advice from a TCG dealer – we’re just laying out the bare essentials to pinning down a fake. If you’re considering handing over serious cash for rare Pokémon cards, we’d strongly recommend getting an expert to help identifythem (more on that later). Grading specialist PSA has certified 60 of the cards from the competition to date, with just three copies of the Spikey-Eared Pichu confirmed.

And since they weren't part of the official Pokemon Trading Card Game, they are considered more in the realm of novelty collectible cards. Experienced collectors tend to be able to sniff out a fake by the simple feel of the card materials– but it’s not because they’re actual wizards – it’s just because fakes, by their very nature, are usually made to a much cheaper print quality than the real thing, and as a result it’s very difficult to make them feel quite right. Iris is voiced by Belén Rodriguez who also provides the voice for Solana (except in the 2 part Deoxys episodes) and Salvia. Cilan ( Millo) is voiced by Fernando Cabrera who also voices Harley in Pokémon Battle Frontier and Khoury.Only 12 Tropical Wind cards were produced as promo cards for the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle, a precursor to the Pokémon World Championships, making it one of the most valuable Pokémon sets around. There are many different production methods for fake trading cards, including Pokémon TCG cards, each with their own tell-tale signs that differentiate the product from the genuine article –whichmeans no one guide to identifying fakes can contain every possible red flag. Here are a few pointers on what to do if you’re not sure about a card. Like its equally rare and expensive Trainer trophy cards, the 2006 No. 2 Trainer is one of the rarest Pokémon cards of all time, with only a small handful of cards ever made.

The first of two rare and valuable Pokémon cards called No. 1 Trainer on this list, this particular card was awarded to winners of the regional Battle Road Spring tournaments held in Japan during early 2002. (Battle Road Summer versions were given out during competitions held later that year.) The Pikachu Illustrator card is extremely rare, with just 23 copies certified by the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) and only 39 thought to be in existence. So more of these cards could still be hiding out there waiting to be sold for staggering sums.

Little did they know then that these contests would give rise to one of the rarest and most valuable of all Pokémon cards: the Pikachu Illustrator. Eduardo del Hoyo voices as the narrator (except in M19 who is voiced by Nacho Aramburú) and additional voices.

Held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village from 1999 to 2001, the Pokemon Tropical Mega Battle gave the best players from the United States, Canada, Latin America, and Europe the chance to test their skills against each other. Whether you’re curious how much your own card collection is worth, wondering if that rare card is really that rare or just wanting to gaze in amazement at the thousands and millions of dollars dropped on a piece of cardboard, this list of the top 23 rare and most expensive Pokémon cards will have you covered. Energy symbols– on fake cards, the small, circular energy symbols are often the wrong size or design, or in the wrong position. Typically, either the coloured circle, or the superimposed symbol, or both, may be printed too large. The positions may also not line up properly with the text below, or be out of symmetry. Sometimes it’s simply a spelling error, sometimes the entire name may be totally incorrect. With nearly 900 types of Pokémon on the loose now (many of them sporting different names, depending on where you are in the world) it’s harder than ever for the casual punter to tell what’s a real Pokémon and what’s not – and that makes fakers’ jobs easier.The ultra-rare Pokémon card was created in 1998 as a presentation piece by Magic: The Gathering maker Wizards of the Coast to convince Nintendo of Japan executives to allow it to handle the TCG’s English-language release. The game would eventually make its international debut one year later in 1999. Before we start, we’ll say it again: Conducting all of these steps properly requires that you’ve got a few real Pokémon cards on hand, for comparison. The Neo Genesis 1st Edition Holo Lugia #9 Pokémon card is described by auction house PWCC as one of the most difficult Pokémon cards to grade, as the result of a number of errors and misprints that were included in the early runs of the Neo Genesis set for the Pokémon TCG. Later print runs were corrected, but many of the cards from the expansion remain more common in their earlier uncorrected forms. The exact number of cards awarded to each competition winner is unknown, but auction house PWCC estimates that between 13 and 100 copies of each winning exist were made - making each card one of the rarest Pokémon cards of all time.

Auction house PWCC estimates that only 46 copies of the card have ever been graded - and only a dozen of those at a perfect Gem Mint 10 condition by PSA. PWCC described the card as the third-rarest Pokémon card in the world, calling it worthy of a museum. Whether it’s in a museum or someone’s collection, it’s undoubtedly one of the rarest Pokémon cards ever made. However, the difficulty of finding this card in top condition propels it even further into the upper echelons of expensive Pokemon cards. No Rarity Pokémon cards are among the rarest Pokémon cards in existence, and few come rarer than the Venusaur Pokémon card from the game’s first print run in 1996. Just five copies of the Bulbasaur evolution - famous for appearing on the original video game Pokémon Green - have been graded at a perfect Gem-Mint 10 by PSA, making a flawless copy of the card extremely rare.Goh is voiced by Jon Samaniego who previously voiced Corey in M22 and Tim Goodman in Detective Pikachu
