What is the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold?

This list shows today's ungraded market prices: what a near-mint, raw copy typically sells for. Record sales are a separate thing. The headline prices you read about are for professionally graded copies, such as a PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator or a gem mint 1st Edition Base Set Charizard, sold once at auction or privately. Those sales are rare, depend on the exact grade, and don't reflect what a typical copy is worth, so they aren't ranked here. Read more about them in the rarest Pokémon cards ever made.
