This isn’t a joke. Certain trading cards have such a high value that the most valuable one in history was sold for millions of dollars. The pricing of certain trading cards may seem unbelievable to someone who isn’t interested in sports memorabilia.
Baseball, basketball, and other sports cards are frequently more popular than non-sport cards showcasing Pokémon or characters from other well-known publications. Non-sport cards, on the other hand, have been sold for as much as sport trading cards in some situations.
- 2002 Blue Eyes White Dragon 1st Edition
Possibly the most well-known card in the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe. Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a prominent series known for its strength in the trading card game — combining three of them creates Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon — as well as its powerful appearances in the original anime and manga. The first of these cards was produced in Japan in 1999, followed by the United States shortly after, and first editions in mint condition are now quite valuable. Costing about $644,076.93 SGD for a Grade 10.
- Illustrator Card
Among non-sport trading cards, Pokémon trading cards are another series of well-known collectibles. The Pikachu Illustrator is one of the most popular Pokémon cards. Pikachu Illustrator is the most expensive Pokémon card, with a value of $227,871.75 SGD. It’s also extremely rare and tough to get by. Only 39 copies were ever printed so you might just be sitting on a gold mine if you were a Pokemon fanatic in the past.
- Topsun Charizard
The Topsun set from 1995 is the peak of original Pokémon cards. Due to its rarity and originality, this No Number PSA 10 Charizard justified such a sale. The Topsun Blue and Green Back Charizards are the rookie cards for ‘Zard, and due to extremely limited populations and high demand, they will command a premium price. The Blue Back Charizards are far more rare than the Green Back Charizards, and the ones with no number on them are the rarest Charizards ever made. There have only been four PSA-graded No Number Blue Back Charizards in all. It was sold at the price of $662, 770.41 SGD.

Honus Wagner’s playing card is more well-known than the man himself. This trading card of the best shortstop in history sold for roughly $4,860,547.60 SGD, shattering all previous records. Few are known to exist, and even fewer are sold on a regular basis, given the price at which they sell.
- Tournament Black Luster Soldier

This one-of-a-kind Black Luster Soldier card, printed on stainless steel, was handed to the victor of Japan’s first statewide Yu-Gi-Oh tournament in 1999.
