Pokmon Card, One Of Only Seven Made, Could Bring $100,000+
Heritage To Offer Super Secret Battle “No. 1 Trainer” Card, Once Awarded To A Regional Tournament Winner, In Upcoming Comics Auction
July 10, 2020
A pristine copy of arguably the most sought-after Pokmon card in the world could bring $100,000 or more in Heritage Auctions Comics and Comic Art Auction slated for Thursday to Sunday, July 9 to 12, in Dallas, Texas. Pokmon Super Secret Battle No. 1 Trainer trainer promo hologram trading card (1999), PSA Gem MT 10, is one of just seven copies known to exist, and of those, six carry a PSA Gem Mint 10 grade. This unique card can easily be the centerpiece of any serious Pokmon card collection, said Jesus Garcia, assistant Comics amd Comic Art operations supervisor at Heritage Auctions. These cards were given to the winners of regional Pokmon tournaments, of which there were only seven, making this an exceedingly rare prize among collectors. The perfect grade is important, of course, but the sheer rarity of the card is the main reason why it is an inarguable must-have for serious Pokmon collectors. The card reads, The Pokmon Card Game Official Tournaments champion is recognized here, and this honor is praised. By presenting this card, you may gain preferential entry into the Secret Super Battle. So secretive was the tournament that the competitors found out the location of the final round only after winning a regional tournament. The finals took place Aug. 22, 1999, in Tokyo. The Pikachu Illustrator is widely regarded as the most expensive Pokmon card; according to psacard.com, there are 19 Pikachu Illustrator cards certified. But the Super Secret Battle No. 1 Trainer card is even more rare, with just seven copies known to exist. The artwork was done by Hideki Kazama. To learn more, visit www.HA.com.
