PSA 8 1997 Japanese Gold First Place promo draws $1 million-plus pre-bids at Goldin
Pre-bidding has passed $1 million for a PSA 8 1997 Japanese Promo Gold First Place card, the headliner of Goldin's 2026 Pokemon 30th Anniversary auction, per ICv2. The sale also covers rare cards and sealed product from across the game's history.
A million in pre-bids before the hammer even opens tells you the appetite is real, not last-minute hype. Worth noting this is a PSA 8, not a 10; for promos like this, scarcity is carrying the price more than grade. Where the final bid lands against the pre-bid level will say something about top-end demand heading into year's end.
