Black Star Ishihara Signed GX Promo Card
Black Star Ishihara Signed GX Promo Card, the most recent card to make news for sheer value, sold for roughly a quarter-million dollars at auction on April 26th 2021. The complete story can be read here, but this card portrays Pokémon Company founder and current president Tsunekazu Ishihara and was handed to the company personnel in 2017 to commemorate the man's 60th birthday.
This makes the card uncommon, but this particular variant is considerably rarer, as Ishihara autographed this near-mint card to increase its value even more. The "2017 P.M. SM Black Star #TPCi01 Tsunekazu Ishihara Signed Pokémon GX Promo Card," to use its full title, is a tribute to the Pokémon president's seeming sheer might. The ability "Red Chanchanko" refers to the red vest commonly worn for 60th birthdays in Japan, and it prohibits any attack, ability, or trainer card from having an impact on Ishihara. Meanwhile, its GX move "60 Congratulations" instructs you to flip 60 coins and take a gift for each one. This is a genuinely legendary card.
