Awarded to the first, second, and third-place finishers in their respective divisions at the first official Pokémon tournament in Japan in 1997, these "Trainer" cards are exceedingly rare.

Documentation from that first tournament states that just four copies of each were given to the top contestants.

While there have been many different trophy cards of different designs and prestige over the years (some appearing on this list), these original Pikachu trophy cards are the most desirable.

The card front features the lovable Pikachu hoisting a gold, silver, or bronze trophy depending on it being a first, second, or third place version along with Japanese text that reads:

"The Pokémon Card Game Official Tournament's champion/runner-up winner/third place winner is recognized here, and the honor is praised. By presenting this card, you may gain preferential entry into the Pokémon Card Game Official Tournament."

Depending on which of the three cards and its condition is under consideration, probably well into the six-figure range should not be out of the question.

Pokemon Cards V2. A very limited series of 20 unique most expensive Pokemon cards. Initially released in Japan in the 1990s to accompany the Pokémon video games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game has transformed into one of the most popular trading card games of all-time. Because of the red-hot popularity of the franchise, some of the most expensive Pokemon cards can sell into the six-figure range... That may sound shocking, at first, but given that Pokémon is a worldwide phenom, there is a vast, passionate collector base around the globe just waiting to get their hands on these prized cards. From trophy cards, to First Edition Pokemon cards, to lesser-known rarities, the value of these cards is quite impressive. A rarity attribute will separate each card where number 1 is the most valuable up to 20. Feel free to follow up the Pokemon collection V1 .
