This card was originally acquired by Logan Paul for $ 5.2M in July 2021, after months of negotiations, in Dubai, with the transaction instantly verified by Guinness World Records as the "most expensive Pokmon trading card sold at a private sale." The Pikachu Illustrator became a global phenomenon, a process which was accelerated when Paul wore the grail piece as part of a stunning, diamond-adorned custom necklace (also offered in this once-in-a-lifetime sale) during his WWE debut at WrestleMania 38
The drop is substantial, considering the same Charizard Pokmon card sold for an astonishing $75,000 in 2021
Although it should be pointed out, prices like that are for cards rated a 10 by professional grading companies like Beckett and PSA
While this cards abilities would be outclassed with far superior Zombie lords down the line (Lord of the Undead from Planeshift, Undead Warchief from Scourge , Death Baron from Shards of Alara , among many others)
