Called “The Holy Grail” of the Pokemon world, the Pikachu Illustrator is the most valuable card in existence from the Poke-verse. The Pokemon card costs millions, which is ironic, as it didn’t cost the recipient a dime. The Illustrator card was awarded as a prize in a competition for artists who came up with the best Pokemon fan art.

The print on the card translates to a congratulatory message for winners. The Pikachu Illustrator Card’s price is due to its rarity; only a few dozen were ever printed. CoroCoro, a Japanese Magazine, hosted the contest that produced them in 1998.
