UGHHHHHHHHH Grade 5 me is green with envy…
From TMZ:
Former rapper Logic dropped an insane amount of loot for a Pokemon card — more than a quarter-of-a-million bucks!!!
The card in question .. a super-rare, first edition Charizard. Pokemon trading cards have skyrocketed in value over the last few years. Back in 1999, when Pokemon became a thing, the card had almost no value … now you can buy a house for the cost of a prized card.
As for how much Logic paid … a whopping $226,000!!! It broke the record for Nintendo collectibles.
As for what makes Logic’s card so rare … It’s shadowless … meaning the typical shadow on the right side of the art is absent.
A PSA 10 Base Set 1st Edition Charizard just sold at auction with an ending bid of $183,812.00 via @IconicAuctions.
Including the 20% buyer’s premium, the total transaction value exceeds $220k.
As of now, this is the highest known sale of the card. pic.twitter.com/2mwkoopTvL
