Pikachu Illustrator card sells for £3.7 million at Heritage Auctions

A Pikachu Illustrator card, long called the ultimate prize in Pokémon collecting, sold for £3.7 million at Heritage Auctions, according to MSN. The report gives no grade, buyer, or bidding details.

Cofre's take

Trophy cards keep clearing seven figures, but a single big hammer price says little about what ordinary slabs are doing. The write-up is thin: no grade, no buyer, no underbidder, so treat £3.7 million as a headline, not a comparable. Heritage's full results, once out, will say more about real top-end demand.

Our read, from the people who buy and sell these cards. Opinion, not financial advice.
