List of most expensive cards from collectible card games

A collectible card game (CCG), also called a trading card game (TCG) among other names,[note 1] is a type of card game that mixes strategic deck building elements with features of trading cards.[2] Cards in CCGs are specially designed sets of playing cards. Each card represents an element of the theme and rules of the game, and each can fall in categories such as creatures, enhancements, events, resources, and locations.[3] All cards within the CCG typically share the same common backside art, while the front has a combination of proprietary artwork or images to embellish the card along with instructions for the game and flavor text.[4] CCGs are typically themed around fantasy or science fiction genres, and have also included horror themes, cartoons, and sports, and may include licensed intellectual properties.[3]

The value of a CCG card depends on a combination of the popularity of the game, the popularity of the intellectual property on which the card is based, the card's condition, the scarcity of the card, whether the card has an artist's signature, and the gameplay value (power or efficiency) of the card. In some cases, the cards have become collector's items of considerable value. Most of the priciest cards come from the first CCG, Magic: The Gathering, or from some of the other most popular CCGs such as Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh!.

List of highest prices (US$300,000+) paid

This list only contains cards actually sold, not estimated prices of unsold cards, at a price of US$300,000 or more.

The list is ordered by default by original sale price but can be re-sorted by consumer price index inflation-adjusted value (in bold) in United States dollars in 2025.[note 2]

Cards are evaluated by third-party services, most often Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), Certified Guaranty Company (CGC), Beckett Grading Services (BGS), or Sportscard Guaranty Corporation (SGC), and given a grade on a 10-point scale based on condition.[5]

The population column is the number of copies of the card in the original print run, not the number of known surviving copies in the present or of the graded quality.

Notes

  1. ^ A collectible card game (CCG) may also be known as a trading card game (TCG), customizable card game, expandable card game, or simply as a card game. Terms such as "collectible" and "trading" are often used interchangeably because of copyrights and marketing strategies of game companies.[1]
  2. ^ a b The Wikipedia template uses a yearly average inflation. Using monthly averages gives slightly different numbers, most significantly for cards sold early or late in a year with significant inflation.
  3. ^ This population column is the number of copies of the card in the original print run, not the number of known surviving copies in the present or of the graded quality.
  4. ^ a b c d e 41 copies are known to have been printed: 39 were given out to winners of 3 CoroCoro Comic-sponsored illustration contests, and 2 were later released through sale at auction by Yuichi Konno, one of the Pokémon TCG designers.[6][7][8]
  5. ^ a b c There were originally 1,100 copies of Black Lotus in the print run for Limited Edition Alpha.[22]
  6. ^ a b Gold No. 1, Silver No. 2, and Bronze No. 3 Pikachu Trainer trophy cards were awarded to, respectively, 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-place finishers in the 14–15 June 1997 1st Official Pokémon Card Game Tournament series,[57] the November 8, 1997-February 15, 1998 Lizardon (Charizard) Mega Battle Tournament series,[58] and the July 19 – September 3, 1998, Kamex (Blastoise) Mega Battle Tournament series.[59] Though the trophy cards awarded across the three tournament series had identical art and frames, they can be distinguished through differences in the textboxes: the 1997 1st Official Tournament trophies have no number in the textbox and total 4 copies for each placement (gold, silver, and bronze), the 1997-1998 Lizardon Tournament trophies have the number "1" in the textbox and total 14 copies for each placement, and the 1998 Kamex Tournament trophies have the number "2" in the textbox and also total 14 copies for each placement.[60]
