1st Edition Shadowless Charizard
Controversial Logan Paul, a YouTuber, made waves in October 2020 after spending $150,000 for a 1st Edition Shadowless Charizard card. Surprisingly, this is not the most costly version of the card ever sold. In fact, it's not even close. The current record holder is Goldin Auctions, who sold a replica of the card for slightly under $400,000 a few months later. The price is the most ever paid for a shadowless Charizard, as well as the third-highest ever paid for any Pokémon card, thus establishing it as one of the most valuable Pokémon cards in history.
According to the PSA website, just 54 GEM-MT 10 copies of the card exist, which helps to explain their high value. Given that Charizard's base set was made in such large quantities, it's highly feasible that there are hundreds, if not thousands, more copies out there just waiting to be discovered.
Price: $400.000
