The rarest Pokémon card in existence — a Guinness world record.
Awarded to winners of a 1997-98 CoroCoro illustration contest, the Pikachu Illustrator was never sold in packs; roughly 39 copies are known and one PSA 10 exists. Its $5,275,000 private sale set the Guinness World Record for a Pokémon card. Benchmark: private sale (Guinness-recorded), 2021-07 — a documented public sale, not an estimate. Graded trading cards trade per-card on tokenized venues like Courtyard (Polygon, Brink's vault) and Collector Crypt (Solana, PWCC/ALT vaults); this reference listing is for research.
The rarest Pokémon card in existence — a Guinness world record. The benchmark is a real, dated auction record (private sale (Guinness-recorded)); treat it as the card's documented high-water mark for that grade, not a live quote — collectibles reprice at every sale.

It is the documented record sale for this card at the stated grade (private sale (Guinness-recorded), 2021-07). Collectibles have no ticker — each sale sets the next benchmark.
Buy a graded copy at auction or on a tokenized venue: Courtyard vaults cards with Brink's on Polygon, Collector Crypt with PWCC/ALT on Solana — both redeemable for the physical card.
