WOW!!! OMG!!! Gotta Catch'em All! Really??

I recently just gave my son all the original cards I had. I'm going to go steal them back from him now.

Yeah but how many comics produced in the last 15 years are worth $100,000?

 

So age of a collectible is more vital than rarity?

Also the card isn't worth 100 grand, that's just what it's listed for.

Cool read. Crazy that the guy didn't accept the 47,000 dollar offer.

Almost as crazy as him having another one. Also graded a 9.

I know right! But he never sells unless he has a double so he must have one hell of a collection.

What really confuses me is that the actual card itself has NO IN GAME EFFECT. So for being the most valuable Pokemon CGC card it actually does nothing when played with in a game, unlike other CGCs whose most valuable cards are coveted because they are both scarce AND powerful in game (Such as Magic the Gatherings Black Lotus or Mox cards)

I do not know much about or collect these cards but I do know there were only 6 of these made, for winners of a contest.

Not a 100K to me, but with someone offering close to 50K that says something.

I hereby nominate the above post for the best use of "quotes" in 2013. Well done, sir. :-)

Crazy price but I guess if that is the grail of Pokemon cards.. . Why are people saying this is stupid? We collect comics which are equally as nerdy.

 

 

Exactly! I wanted to be outraged and incredulous about the card, but then, we are here paying big dollars for "High grade" comics. I mean, really its just the same. Everyone is a geek. We all geek on something. Sports, comics, cards, whatever. Though I wouldn't pay for that ( I was way too old for Pokemon, though I do like the Digimon series. The original first three seasons), But I bet if someone put up Action Comics #1 or Detective Comics #27 it would a different tune to this thread. .
